    Honestly I think Rudy getting admitted to Notre Dame was the far greater accomplishment considering he had not-so-great grades in HS and had dyslexia at a time where I don't reckon most people even knew about it.

    The guy who threw the halfback option so Rudy can get into the game was a young Vince Vaughn. And his friend and tutor in the movie, DBop was a young John Favreau. This was actually where they met, and one of the reasons why John Favreau cast Vince Vaughn in the movie "Swingers" not long after.

    The groundskeeper Charles S. Dutton had a similar Rudy-like story. He was convicted of murder at 18 and spent years in prison. He accidentally picked up book of plays one day and loved it. Formed prison drama group. Got released and went back to school. Ultimately pleaded for months for the Yale Drama School to let him in and ultimately graduated. He called his life story “from jail to Yale”. Amazing actor.

    I went to Notre Dame and can tell you, football game days really are that amazing. No vibe like it anywhere else.
    Did you know that all of the campus scenes were really shot on campus? The extras in the background are all actual Notre Dame students who had been told to dress in 70s clothes. It was a couple of years before my time, but I recognize some of the people when I watch it.
    And BTW, thanks for the shout-out to the marching band's contribution. I played piccolo in the band and I will never forget the night we were rehearsing our formations in the parking lot and Lou Holtz, head coach at the time, came driving by in his golf cart and stopped and asked for the director's megaphone. He said he had noticed that we were always out there practicing for much longer each day than the football team, and he thanked us for always doing our part to get the team and the crowd fired up when they needed it. One of my all-time best memories.

    For years, this was my favorite movie, and it still is my favorite sports movie. My favorite part of the story is that Coach Dan Devine never refused to let Rudy dress for his final game and never refused to let him play on the field, but the writer asked Rudy if he would get permission from Coach Devine to add that piece to the story in order to set-up the pivotal "Rudy chant" which became so iconic, and Coach Devine agreed.

    For what it's worth, I always understood his Dad's attitude a little differently. It's not so much that he doesn't believe in Rudy, but that he just doesn't believe good things happen (at least not on that scale) for people like them. He didn't believe college was for people like them, or big dreams. Hence the story he told him at the bus station when he left. His whole outlook on life is just keep your head down and don't hope for anything beyond your grasp or you'll get crushed by disappointment. And he doesn't want his son (or himself) to be crushed.

    Hi guys. The real Rudy was 5'6" and 165 lbs as a defensive end. He became a writer and motivational speaker. Also guys, the speech that Rudy used to practice and recited that first time in the locker room, was a famous speech delivered by all time great coach (and former player) Knute Rockne. Also the reference to "Gipper" and the win one for me sometime, goes back to a former Notre Dame player George Gipp. He became very ill and from his hospital bed, told his teammates that one day when they were not doing well and it looked bad for them to win just one for me. That is where the expression win one for the Gipper comes from. There is another great football based movie y;all should watch if you haven't seen it. Brian's Song. One of the best buddy movies ever, and another one based on real people. Trust me, it's one that both of you will love.

He played football too and we’ve always bonded over the game. Needless to say this movie has enormous sentimental value to me. Rudy and Field of Dreams are the two films that make me cry every time.

    As others have mentioned, Rudy was played by Sean Astin who was Sam (not Frodo) in LOTR.
    Yes, that was a young Vince Vaughn as the QB. Also, a young Jon Favreau played Rudy’s best friend (D-Bob). You may know him as “Happy” from the Avengers series or from “Elf”.

    This is still my favorite sports movie and I've seen tons of them. There are many I like but this one just always makes me tear up and feel good.
    Couple things I'm sure others have pointed out. It's not Bilbo or Frodo Baggins. It's Samwise Gamchee that Sean Astin played in the LOTR movies. He was also a guest star in Stranger Things for a season. He was in the Goonies as well. My personal favorite Sean Astin film is Toy Soldiers.
    His buddy DeBop is played by Jon Favreau. He later went on to play Happy in the Marvel Universe and is a director/producer. He directed Iron Man and is the guiding force behind the Star Wars Mandalorian show.

  • @whimsofmim

    This came before LOTR, and when I read that Sean Astin was going to play Samwise Gamgee, I knew they cast that role perfectly. Rudy and Sam both have heart and determination. When Sam carries Frodo up the side of Mount Doom (right towards the end), I instantly was hearing "RU-DY! RU-DY!" in my head.

  • @cliffendicott7832
    @cliffendicott7832 Рік тому +5

    I've always thought of this movie as a story about friendship as much as anything else. Yes, Rudy's determination got him positioned, but it was the support of his teammates that made his dream come true. I was 24 when I first saw this (in 1994, when it came out on video) and two scenes made me mist up. First, when De-Bop is leaving and Rudy hugs him (really rare for men to hug in that era) - and thanks him, showing Rudy knew he wouldn't have gotten to where he was without him. Then when the whole team came into Devine's office and said they would sit for Rudy to dress.... that every guy on the team came through for him like that really tweaks your heart.
