Rudy: Making grown men cry since 1993.
Rudy and Brian's Song, guaranteed to make a man cry
The truth, every time
Every. Damn. Time.
Making soft men cry.
I love the reference to it in Goon haha
I'm a 54 year old man and I cry every time I watch this. It's amazing!!!
69 here and same thing.
That was Vince Vaughn, and Rudy's collage friend is Jon Favreau (Iron Man director).
And if I'm not mistaken, this is the movie where Vince and Favs met, which led to them making Swingers (one of my all-time favorites).
@@JeffKelly03that’s what I’ve always believed as well.
Collage friend. lmao They make collages together.
The lookalike took his job so seriously he changed his name to Vince Vaughn.
@@JeffKelly03 Way back in 05’ I was working as an extra on “The Break-Up” and in between takes while filming at Wrigley Field Vince & Jon were interacting with the extras and mentioned that the two of them met while they were both working as extras on the set of the film “Hoffa”. Always found that a cool story
The real Rudy is in this movie. He is sitting behind the actor playing Rudy's father in the crowd during the last game.
He is! Upper left hand of Rudy’s Dad. Guy in the hat!
Thank you for this piece of info, didn’t know about that! We hope you enjoyed the watch-along.
@@jena6587 Another person that can be briefly seen in the movie during Rudy's tryout is former WWE professional wrestler Al Snow.
The Vince Vaughan lookalike is Vince Vaughan. This is one of his first movies
... that's so cool. Given that he is Vaughn, he even looks like it too!🤔🥸
I cracked up when I found out, I didn’t click that it could’ve been him, forgot the year of the movie 😂 We hope you enjoyed the watch-along.
Fun fact. The ending series of the movie were filmed at halftime of an actual Notre Dame football game. One of my best friends as a kid was at this game. If you look closely when they carry Rudy off, you can clearly see people in 90's attire.
This is awesome Ryan, thank you for sharing this. We hope you enjoyed the watch-along 🙏
Hammer pants
Jon Favreau -- Rudy's BFF at junior college is a HUGE name in the world of directors and Marvel. He played Happy in Iron Man and directed them, too.
Thanks for posting this; that’s awesome. We hope you enjoyed the watch-along 🙏
Never get tired of Rudy and I’m an Alabama fan. The football scenes were filmed at halftime of an actual ND game so the crowd is real and that soundtrack is epic.
Love this, thanks for the comment! We hope that you enjoyed the watch-along 🙏
ROLL TIDE!!!!
I will add to this is that getting into Notre Dame scholastically is no easy feat. It is right up there with the best in the US. To be able to play a sport and keeping up the grades required is even harder.
Yeah I can imagine this to be the case, thanks for the comment. We hope you enjoyed the watch-along 🙏
In the credits it lists all of Rudi’s siblings and the college degrees they got. That was the best scene in the movie.
I remember reading a sports illustrated article on this movie. The writer was on a plane and this movie was playing. He saw another man crying and the man saw him crying. They both acknowledged it. It is one of those movies that gets a pass on the man tears. lol. We all see ourselves as underdogs in something in our lives. This movie touched on that feeling perfectly.
It's tears of JOY! I will say that Brian's Song, My DOG Skip , Saving Private Ryan movies get me all the time.
The guy with the mustache sitting behind Rudy’s dad in the stands was the real life Rudy. Such a great movie and story.
It's not the guy with the mustache. It's the guy next to him, right behind the parents, with the white fleece collar on his jacket.
@@ruth2141 Exactly. Rudy is wearing a blue coat with large beige collar and a plaid cap.
Until he became a felon.
Thanks everyone for giving us the heads up on this! Will have to go back and watch again for this bit. We hope you all enjoyed the watch-along 🙏
That’s Sean Astin who was Mikey from the Goonies and Sam from Lord of the Rings
Thanks for the info! I have seen Lord of the Rings. Appreciate the comment 🙏
also Bob from "Stranger Things"
That’s where I know him from!
"Since 1975 no other Notre Dame player has been carried off the field...."
That was true when this movie came out in 1993, but in 1995 the Notre Dame football team carried another player off the field - fullback Marc Edwards who ran for 82 yards and had 3 touchdowns in a game against USC. Marc Edwards went on to play for various teams in the NFL and was a member of the New England Patriots when they won the Super Bowl in 2002.
Love the info, thanks for the comment, we really appreciate it! Hope you enjoyed the watch-along 🙏
Awesome to see you shed a tear at the end, I usually cry at the end of this movie too.
Yeah this one got me, amazing
Missed you guys. And what a great reaction to this movie. Surprisingly, I had never seen it. As usual you both made some great observations. I was in tears in the end too. I have a son who has on many occasions made me the proudest dad in the world. ♥
Glad you enjoyed this one! What a movie it was!
If you want to see another amazing true football story, it's old but we worth watching over and over. "Brian's Song". Yeah, that one.
The original one from the 1970's James Caan and Billy DEE Williams
Appreciate the suggestion, thank you 🙏
Tissues ready….and I’ve seen this movie …..everyone cries…..go on❤️
Enjoy! 😀
Fun fact, before rudy's family moved to northwest indiana he lived in the same south chicago neighborhood I grew up in (different times obviously 😅). Joe Montana was the QB of notre dame during rudy's time, he said this movie was wildly over-exaggerated but its still a great movie😅
Hollywood does that, Rudy and his brothers backed each other, the Grounds keeper was a Composite composite( three different people.)
Love a fun fact! Didn’t make the link with Joe Montana either, thanks for the comment! We hope you enjoyed the watch-along 🙏
"North Dallas Forty"and "The Longest Yard (1974)" is my fave.
Thanks Pushpak for the suggestions, hope you’re doing well and enjoyed the video 🙏
I always cry when I see the final game and this was no different
I was there with you. Thank you for the comment, we hope you enjoyed the watch-along 🙏
Shout out to Charles Dutton and Ned Beatty, great actors in their own right. Also, the Irish (Notre Dame) played Navy in Ireland last year.
Musical Score: Understated. This is one excellent motivational musical score!
Love this comment! Hope you enjoyed the watch-along 🙏
The guy sitting behind Rudy's dad with the white furry collar was the real Rudy.
That’s awesome, thank you for posting. I’m going to go back and rewatch. We hope that you enjoyed the watch-along 🙏
Best Vince Vaughn look alike I've ever seen lol
I cracked up when I found out! Didn’t even consider the age of the movie 😂 Thanks for the comment, we hope you enjoyed the watch-along 🙏
My parents were at the game when they filmed the scene when they all started shouting his name.
That is awesome, love that! Thank you for the comment, we hope you enjoyed the watch-along 🙏
They show this movie every fall at ND on the jumbotron while we sit on the football field and I assure you it's the most ND thing about ND
My nephew went to ND and was on the football team. Attending games there was always fun.
Rudy would make any sports loving man shed a tear. Great review guys 👍💪🏻
One of the only movies that can make me cry!
Tears me up every time the guys lay their jersey’s on the coaches desk. 😭
I had a friend in high school who was close to 7ft tall, who one day got sick of the "What's the weather like up there?" joke.
He was asked, and responded by spitting on the offending classmate.
"It's raining!"
Glad you liked the movie. Notre Dame is in Indiana. Its considered one of the best football universities in America.
I would LOVE to see y'all react to Brian's Song, one of the only movies men over 50 allow themselves to cry over.
A great movie. The real Rudy appeared in a cameo behind Rudy's father in the stands. The guy with the white fur color. That was Vince Vaughn.
I've seen Rudy 10-15 times, tears everytime.
This movie makes me tear up every time. Great reaction!
Thank you Abby!! ☺️
For someone who grew up in Indiana, this movie and Hoosiers are the two best sports movies. Part of this movie was filmed at my high school, which was a big deal since hardly anything is filmed there. Also, Hoosiers is a basketball movie, and basketball in Indiana is like football in Texas, or at least used to be.
The holy trinity of Indiana sports movie is Rudy, Hoosiers, and Breaking Away imo. and Chelcie Ross was the "villain" in Hoosiers and Rudy which is cool
It doesn't matter how many times I watch this movie, I still cry at the end!
In the 2010s my niece was and All-American basketball player at ND--they were number 2 nearly every year to Connecticut, who were unbeatable then. She loved playing there and attending school.
My favorite thing about this movie is that, you know the game at the end? My mom and dad were at that game. My dad was one semester away from completing his MBA (Master's in Business Administration) and my mom worked in the bookstore. My dad, may he rest in peace, was absolutely certain that the Rudy chant was complete fiction. (My mom had to leave 10 minutes early because the bookstore got swamped after games.) And so help me, to my mind the movie was over when Ned Beatty announced over the loudspeaker "MY SON'S GOING TO NOTRE DAME!" -- I feel like that would have made my dad's _life_ if any of his children went to Notre Dame like he did. Not that he had anything against Nassau Community College and SUNY-New Paltz...
You guys do a good job dissecting the movie ..you seem to understand everyone's roles .. thanks
.
This movie came out when i was a freshman in high school, on the freshman football team. I watched it with some other friends from the team, all of us trying to hide our red eyes at the end
I cam running when saw this posted. This isn't a football movie but some one never giving up on dreams and is one of the most uplifting sports movies.
like my father always said, "if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything."
100%, love this! Thank you for the comment. We hope you enjoyed the watch-along 🙏
"The Vince Vaughn looking guy" 🤣🤣 you mean Vince Vaughn? Yeah, that's him. and the friend is Jon Favreau, who was in Friends, Iron Man, Couples Retreat, the Replacements, and directed the Lion King live action, bunch of MCU and Star Wars stuff... some big guys in here. And, Rudy is played by Sean Astin, who was in Lord of the Rings, 50 First Dates, and a ton of stuff as well.
Swingers …
Wow, that guy REALLY looked like Vince Vaughn! hahaha
"I don't know what this factory does but it looks like alot of heat" wow
Great edit guys 👍 I enjoyed that
John Madden was also a Hall of Fame coach (Raiders) and a ex-player before becoming a tv color analyst.
Madden had the best head coach winning % in NFL history, last I checked.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it
This one’s for the underdog in all of us!
Watched this with you twice on Patreon and again here, and it’s still so much fun! Love your reaction to this wonderful movie. ❤️
I have this on VHS tape, DVD, & it is now on my DVR. All time classic movie! I can watch it over and over again.
Also one of my favorite childhood movies. Glad you guys got around to watching this
Absolutely love the reaction - thank you!
Thank you Mark!
Speaking of respect, I respect what you two have been able to do with this channel. I was skeptical at first, but you've managed to build something special here that I couldn't have anticipated. Your appreciation for American sports and American sports culture comes across as heartfelt and genuine, and it's fun to watch it grow. Good luck going forward.
@42:43 the man in the cap and heavy coat holding the flyer sitting behind Rudy's mother and father is the real life actual Rudy in the flesh.
Samwise Gamgee with the sack. And yes, that was Vince Vaughn. And his tutor was John Favre.
Treebeard is a walking, talking tree from Lord of the Rings.
I had the same reaction at the end. Truly inspiring 🍿 movie! Enjoyed your commentary on this and all of your reviews.
Some of the big hitters are in this movie! Rudy's father is a very note worthy actor. The Head Priest along with the players
as a lifelong Irish fan, this movie gives me the feels, it’s still my dream to travel to South Bend and see a game live in the stadium
it hasn’t happened yet, but it will one day 👍 Go Irish! 🍀☘🍀☘
I hope you make it my friend. As I posted... there is nothing like walking into that stadium for the first time.
You guys do a great job! I love that you all are so willing to get involved w/American football! but like us and soccer we are really growing in that area all over US !!
Made me cry as a teen when i saw it in the theater, when it came out. And the custodian, had a sitcom aroumd that time. R.O.C.
Such a great show it was as well 😊
A couple other great American football movies to check out: Brian's Song, We Are Marshall.
Joe Montana, the qb at Notre Dame during this time, has publicly stated that this movie is mostly fiction. He doesn't even remember Rudy. Nice fairy tale though...
Actually he does remember Rudy he said so in his documentary. Rudy just wasn’t really liked as the movie claimed but when Joe got injured that’s when Rudy was able to play in that game. It was an impressive documentary.
The real Story is even better Rudy! Joined the Navy During Vietnam was a great boxer in his weight class, even in high school he was all conference Just undersized, he was a good wrestler Differences.. His best friend was killed in an oil refinery fire rather than a steel company. Charles Dutton's Character was a composite (three different people). Rudy's Brothers back him 100 % ( more drama for the film) Rudy did live in a maintenance closet. The New Coach Dan Devine really liked Rudy and wanted him to play ( he had said this in an interview) One guy gave up his spot for Rudy to play. Rudy was actually on the Cover of Sports Illustrated February 5th 1973 Under UCLA basketball players legs Bill Walton's legs as a fan sitting on the floor red an black stripped shirt is Rudy a Forest Gump Moment!
Thr real Rudy play here in black and white film ua-cam.com/video/-z950ovP7N4/v-deo.html
Dan Devine is portrayed as an antagonist in the film, with permission from the real Coach Devine. In reality though it was actually Devine's idea to have Ruttiger dress in his final game as a senior.
I have met Rudy. Really nice guy.
What a great movie to react to. I love this movie and Grew up a few minutes from Notre Dame. Been a fan my whole life!
I’ve always loved this movie because I love football
Notre Dame is located in northern Indiana......my home state. 😃
Great reaction, especially from the guy on the right! It’s a great movie. All time classic. Very happy you guys enjoyed it as well.
Glad you enjoyed it! Great movie. It really got me at the end!
My favorite three football movies: "Necessary Roughness" (1991), "Any Given Sunday" (1999), "The Replacements" (2000)
[other than "Rudy", that is. ;-) ]
I'll throw in a shout for reacting to We Are Marshall. Another "Based on a true story" college football movie that (based on the comments from those who were on this Notre Dame team) was a little more based in reality.
Sean Astin's step-father, John Astin, is famous for playing Gomez Addams in the 1960s TV show, Addams Family. More interestingly - at least to me - he was a professor of arts, and head of the drama department at his alma mata, The Johns Hopkins University from 2001until he retired in 2021 at age 91!
the music is fantastic.
One of my all time favorite movies. All the times I've watched this , this is the first time I'm realizing that was Vince Vaughn in the movie. Such a great movie. Nice to see you two enjoy it...even shed a little tear ..it'll do that to ya! 😉
That wasn't a Vince Vaughn lookalike, that is Vince Vaughn. This is before Vince was famous.
If you haven't already, you ought to watch _"Friday Night Lights"_ (the movie). Another heart wrenching football movie and true story and probably my favorite
Fun fact: I went to the same High School as Rudy in Joliet Illinois the same year this movie came out. I was the smallest guy on the team and was given the nickname Rudy.
Shout out from New Lenox!!!
Notre Dame has one of the most beautiful college campuses you will ever see. Also Rudy's older brother Mickey was our wrestling coach at my high school in the 80's (St Charles High School).
Gets me everytime too brother.
I'm a 62 year-old American woman with absolutely no interest in sports, but I love an engaging movie, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching your reaction to this one. Subscribing.
I’m going to love seeing your reaction to Moneyball and Ted Lasso, and I’ll check out your playlists for other films.
Treebeard, that’s hilarious. Sounds like you need to watch The Lord of The Rings.
Great Football movies..."Incredible", "Brian's Song", "The Rocky Blier Story"....
Had the privilege of growing up in northern Indiana. I’ve visited the beautiful campus a number of times and have family and friends that actually studied there. Even though I haven’t been ‘home’ in many years, watching ND on Saturdays gives me a taste. It all makes this great film all the more special to me.
I don't know if it was already mentioned in the comments, but Joe Montana played at Notre Dame during the same time.
Movie made me a life long Irish fan aka Golden Domer Homer as a kid. Also helped that every game was televised in NY so I could watch them.
Notre Dame is one of the most academically challenging schools in America you basically have to get Straight 100 grades your entire high school career to get in
And I live 2 minutes from the campus
AAAAAAhhhhhhhaahhhaaaa!!!!! Not even close to the most challenging! Good grief who told you that whopper?!? Now, one of the most overrated schools in America? Definitely.
@@jonsoule7421ND’s acedemic standards for student athletes is tougher than most. Whatever the gpa requirements that are laid down by the NCAA,ND’s standards are .5 higher. As far as just going to the University, it’s pretty high but there are others that rank above it. Still a very special place.
@@davidmottweiler7597 Special? Sure, if by 'special' you mean supporting an organization that easily ranks top five all time in causing death, poverty, repression and persecution.
@@jonsoule7421 Jesus Christ, get over yourself.
@@fuzzzone I'd prefer those who believe in the myth of ol' JC get over themselves, but whatever.
Joe Montana was on the quarterback of that Norte Dame team with Rudy.
There is nothing like walking into Notre Dame Stadium for the first time. You feel just the history all around you.
The large building behind the endzone, outside of the football stadium is the University library. The exterior of the that building has a huge mosiac of Jesus Christ with his arms raised in the air and respectfully called "Touchdown Jesus".
I've seen this many times, but it gets me as well
When asked about the weather my reaction was "It's raining" & piss on their leg.
My top 5 favorite movie!!!!
One of the greatest sports films of all time. And I can't believe you didn't recognize Samwise Gamgee from Lord of the Rings.
I love this movie! I cry at the end every time. I've been in those situations my whole life. I'm a small guy born with Cerebral Palsy. The disability effects my right arm and leg so I'm basically one handed and have a limp. I really didn't have anyone believe in me but I loved playing basketball anyway. I always had to fight my way onto the court to play wherever I was. What people found out was I might be short and slow but I was able to shoot 60% from the 3 point line shooting with one hand and jumping off my one good leg.
On my Top 5 all time Movies list.. makes me cry like a baby everytime. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☑️
I saw this at the movie theater and had to walk out crying through the line for the second show. 🤭
Great all time Football story, movie and thats coming from a lifelong USC Trojan fan.
Gets me everytime. 😂
Theme song makes me want to run through a wall. Not Irish, born and raised Alabama fan. Lots of fiction in there but great story and film.
