The whole reason I love this movie to death is that people always thought Bud Kilmer pulled off the play but it was the high school backup who paid attention to score, win, and support his teammates
I don't understand how Coach Kilmer says "you got it!" when Moxon doesn't know the play, but then gets so pissy when it's not the right formation.. oh well LOL Still LOVE this movie!!!
In all fairness he should have known the play. He didn’t because he loves being the backup and not having to do any real work/practice since there’s no pressure.
@@TFHDeathUA33 plus he doesn't really pay attention during games. I think the other thing is he knew Lance was a better player and most likely wasn't seeing the field anyway.
@@bigbearkat2010I don’t know if lance was ever the better player. It seems like lance has been called the better player forever so everyone just accepts it. Being a qb who calls his own plays that work at the success clip that moxon’s works at shows an advanced knowledge of the game. Where lance is more like a robot who just runs whatever the coach calls. When you watch the higher levels of football that is what separates a great college qb from a great nfl qb. The nfl qb has an outstanding knowledge of the game.
I love finding out what happens to characters after the movie ends. Fun fact, did you know that after Lord Voldemort was defeated by Harry Potter (the final time) he got a job leading the British Intelligence Directorate (MI6)?

My brother was a senior in high school and a starting WR for his high school football team when this came out, albeit in southern Indiana and not Texas. I will never forget how much him and his friends loved this movie, and it described pretty much every one of them perfectly. It really was the best time of their lives. I didn't go on to play sports myself, but I will never forget looking up to my big brother watching him when he was the king of our small Indiana town. Even if it was only for a couple of years. It goes by way too fast, and you can never get it back. I really miss those days back in the late 90s for him, and then the early 00s for me.
A lot of movies and tv shows hilariously fail to make their football gameplan even seem half-realistic. This movie did a phenomenal job of putting a product out that looks like a real game.

Yes, they did. BUT under both high school rules and college rules (which they use for high school football in Texas) the clock stops after a first down in order to move the chain. Here we see the clock running while the chain is moving.
I really appreciate the fact that, the QB and Coach can't hear each other while on the field despite yelling. Movies regularly act like players can easily talk to coaches while on the sideline
Yep, our coaches were brutal in the late 80’s. They put their hands on you and if you weren’t decapitated, you were playing. Didn’t matter how bad you were hurt.
The head coach at my high school retired as soon as his son, the varsity quarterback since his sophomore year, graduated. His older sister had been head varsity cheerleader until she graduated. He was a 3rd string QB at OU until he got kicked out after getting caught several times drinking a beer at high school basketball games. They also found that he was on the payroll at a booster's car dealership.
Yep, had them run us until we puked and no water in the 90s. One kid almost died from heat stroke, they didn't give a damn 2 a days in August heat. Full pads, they didn't care if ypu were concussed either.
true ... but Varsity Blues came out half a decade before Friday Night Lights .. Varsity Blues was produce by Mtv ..... Friday Night was a full blown Universal production.
Football in Texas is kind of like a religion. You have people who are extremely passionate about it, who believe things have to be done a certain way and will do anything to win. I have met coaches like Bud Kilmer. In fact my sons when he was in a pee wee league played against a team that had a Bud Kilmer and their players were the dirtiest players I've ever seen in a pee wee league! It got so bad that literally parents started pulling their kids from any games against this team for fear their child would get hurt since so many kids were getting injured against them. The next season the school was booted from the program. So anyone who watches this movie and said that Bud Kilmer was not realistic...no, unfortunately he's all too realistic.
@@DadbrosGarage Texas takes it to another level. I grew up in a town like this and the entire town dropped everything each Friday night and we weren't even good.
@@flan_2003 Yup, has no interest in going pro. I don't even think he wants to play in college. He's content with his academic scholarship to Brown, and will leave football forever if he can.
0:15 every team needs a guy like Wendell. He was just as devastated as anyone else on the Coyotes about Lance’s injury but he knew they had to get refocused right away.
The first weekend this movie was released I was in boot camp in Georgia. I was almost finished with infantry boot camp at Ft.Benning on Sand Hill in 258 Alpha Co. 2nd Platoon Dominators. We had gotten a pass for Saturday and Sunday about 4-6 weeks before graduation. The pass was from 0900 - 2100 both days and we were not allowed to leave the base. My battle buddy had his girlfriend and two friends he played football with to come down and visit us and we met them and went off base but just barely and went to their motel room and smoked a little weed .Then we went back on base and went and watched this movie. Afterwards we got back to our barracks and ate chow and went out and played football on our PT field. It was one of the best times in my life!!!!!
This is one of my all-time favourite football movies because it doesn't just depict the glory but also what happens when the coach just sees his players as tools and wields them with no regard to their safety. Whenever players should've had a break Coach Kilmer used pharmaceuticals. From drugs to injections until their bodies gave up. Even the first game where no injury happens one of the players asks another for pain meds in freaking high school.
@@TimothyHolt-vh2hdto be fair if the qb isn’t getting the signal and you have no timeouts you really just have to go in the huddle and call a play. If your coach isn’t an expert egomaniac he should be able to grasp this concept.
@JRG dude even if someone said jaw's revenge is the greatest movie ever, that's just their opinion 😂 while I wouldn't call this the greatest movie myself, it's still this person's opinion
lol no he wasn't. They are a running team. You really think Kilmer's gonna call a 4 wide pass play? I-Left Double Wing Slant is most likely the play there.
Remember coach Kilmer said “I’m behind you” and coach Bud never told a lie he is the greatest coach that has ever lived and if Billy Bob wasn’t so irresponsible the star QB would never been hurt!!
This movie should be always on your playlist if you're a football fan. High School football Texas is religion. I've seen high School football fields in Texas bigger than some college stadiums, Friday night lights.
Back in ~ '99 we saw the pre-release version of this a few months before it came out in theaters (or at least over a month earlier). I didn't really believe it was a real movie because a guy brought it on a tape from nyc to ks where we were in college, and i was a bit skeptical lol
I felt bad that Mox throws the Football at Hornet Mascot, but it's worth it to stop the Clock and I gotta admit it's pretty funny Mascot was mocking Mox then Mox gives him Karma by throwing a Football at him
There's no way on a team that small the 2nd string QB is riding the bench. He's probably the second or third best athlete on the team. He grew up playing football. No way he isn't a Safety, Corner or (most likely, considering his size) an OLB.
When the dad realizes the son hit him on purpose at the bbq.
Best part of the movie!!! lol
@@dbosarge100 Even better than the moment they find out how Ms. Davis can afford such a nice car?
@@wvu05 You got me on that one.
"Giving you the Hornet Hex!!. Boogedy Boogedy Boogedy. OUCH" LMFAO at that bit.
and the knowing sideways look Mox's mom gives him. She knew it was on purpose the whole time.
The whole reason I love this movie to death is that people always thought Bud Kilmer pulled off the play but it was the high school backup who paid attention to score, win, and support his teammates
oh is that what happened in the movie? almost like it was written exactly this way in the script.
I always get a chuckle out of the look on the deputy's face when the guy next to him makes the Charmin comment.
Then the coach went to hunt anacondas after his career was over.
That's a true story.
He met up with J Lo and made Angelina
Where's Burt and Ronny Cox?
I heard he actually joined the nsa hunted down will smith.
He was priest too. Then he went into rainforest to hunt for snakes

Lance was good enough to get a scholarship from Florida State which was good at the time.
We all know what happened to Bud Kilmer after this, he went to become a guard at a juvenile prison and teach boys to dig for character.
Underrated comment!!

Fun fact, did you know that after Lord Voldemort was defeated by Harry Potter (the final time) he got a job leading the British Intelligence Directorate (MI6)?
“Holes” lol 😂
Well that’s too damn bad
Nahhhh, I heard he became tour guide on the Amazon River, but one day he took a tour out and hasn't been seen since.
Gotta say, that in game footage looks basically how it is on the field. Some very big studios don’t get it done that good.

Yep and Paul Walker #7 for Don Majkowski
Welp.

Bud Kilmer is the most Texas High School football coach name ever.
What does that even mean? It appears that you need further education

I'm not a football fan but this is one of the few football movies I like.
Such an underrated movie. It captures drama and reality of how important high school football is in parts of the nation.
Best guesses for the play that Mox was supposed to run are either I-Left, Double Wing Slant or I-Left, Spread Slant.
Yep it was I formation he touch his eye forgot what he did next
I recognize some of those words
I usually just ask Madden.
Knowing Kilmer's coaching style in the red zone it was definitely I-Left and most likely a pass route to a wide receiver or something..
I-Left, Double Wing Hitch
RIP RON LESTER ( Billy Bob). Paul Walker (Lance Harper)
best feeling in the world getting into that endzone!! Count it-
Moxon seems like the type of quarterback that would ball out in college and bust in the NFL.
Perfect analysis
Moxon was a Brainiac. Football was secondary.
He'd be a Josh Rosen type. Thinks too much on the field and has other priorities besides football lol
@@flan_2003 Yup, has no interest in going pro. I don't even think he wants to play in college. He's content with his academic scholarship to Brown, and will leave football forever if he can.
Which he'd probably be fine with honestly. Dude liked playing the game but he knew it wasn't the most important thing in his life.
Bud Kilmer is a legend!
RIP Paul Walker
Rip to Billy Bob as well
Same age as these kids (at the time) first DVD i ever bought. We grew up together.
Jon voight made this movie so hilarious
Yes he did. Great character.
I love Ed Lauter as the parody of Kilmer in not another teen movie. Nailed it. Ed also starred in the original the longest yard
Love the cop's reaction ... How do you know what brand TP this kid uses? LMAO.
Seems pretty clear the formation they wanted was I-left. Fullback in the game with 35 seconds left, 90's football!
Me trying to figure out why the clock was running while the chains were not set 🤔🤔🤣. Must be Hollywood for ya

I'm behind you. When he says that Lance is right behind mox on a stretcher
Really? I didn't see that
Top 5 football movie in my book
Howl!!!!! It never gets old baby!
Oh the memories!
it does say something about kilmers handling of the team when the 2nd string backup doesnt know the signals
That the backup doesn't pay attention at practice?
@@bigbearkat2010 maybe kilmer doesnt practices him enough?
I don't recall Walker being in this movie probably before the fast series began. I need to watch it

I love how even though they win the Coach looks like he's about to lose his mind cuz they didn't use his play 😂😂😂
Yes, he knows he no longer can control over the team.
Yeah that'll happen when you're a control freak and narcissist.
Because it’s outright insubordination. How does it make the coach look if his instructions are arbitrary and to be followed at the players whim?

1:42 why was the clock running when the chains weren't set yet?
This movie is set before they instituted that rule in Texas HS football
Because it’s a movie..
I'm behind you but really off to the side because it's a penalty for me to be on the field during play .... let's go.
Bud Kilmer is exact high school version of Bobby Petrino
I’m still kind of new to football but wouldn’t the throw at the mascot be intentional grounding?
I thought that too but I’m assuming a receiver was over in that area and we didn’t see it.
No. Intentional grounding is called when a throw-away is used to avoid an impending sack. No defensive pressure means no intentional grounding.
You're allowed to spike the ball or throw it out of bounds to stop the clock. There has to be pressure for IG
This movie should be always on your playlist if you're a football fan. High School football Texas is religion. I've seen high School football fields in Texas bigger than some college stadiums, Friday night lights.
