Five Stars: ˜˜˜˜˜Based on a true story, this film was one of the first in the inspirational sports genre and is still one of the best. The 1993 movie follows one of the most unlikely (and hilarious) sports phenomenons of all time: the formation of an Olympic bobsled team from Jamaica. John Candy plays a grumpy washed-up former medalist who is coerced into training tropical sprinters to run on ice in the 1980s. An all-around good time, this movie will definitely make you laugh and may even make you cry.
MEMORABLE QUOTES
“You’re the kind of club-toting, raw-meat-eating, Me-Tarzan-You-Jane-ing, big, bald bubblehead that can only count to ten if he's barefoot or wearing sandals.”
“Always remember, your bones will not break in a bobsled. No, no, no. They shatter.”
“You don't see the Swiss team smilin' neither. In fact, if one of those Swiss boys ever come across a pretty girl, he probably yell, "eins, zwei, drei" and try to push her down some ice.”
