I remember seeing this movie in theaters when I was a kid and the entire theater literally stood up and cheered when the main character scored a goal and won the game. Looking back that was crazy seeing people stand at a movie.
Dikembe Mutombo's older brother (Ilo) was the best player on team Mingori (Mifundo)!! This is a eagerly underrated film, and definitely a great basketball movie!!
Not sure why, but my favorite scene was during the last game, when Jimmy gets hurt, and is wrapping his knee back up to play again. Saleh tells him he'll go back regardless if they win or lose, but Jimmy tells him that this is more about that, and that after the game he can do whatever he wants. Shows how Jimmy 'grew up' and understood that the safety of the village was more important than getting a good recruit for college.
Proud to be born n brought up in SAMBuRU n learn samburu culture/dilect though they often confused to Maasai😑, My dad had the origin Tape for this movie
They're both great films. I liked White Men Can't Jump for the basketball scenes with all the wise cracking, fancy dribble moves, and power dunks of modern American playground basketball, but I felt The Air Up There overall was a somewhat more out the box experience due to the cultural aspect of being in Africa teaching the game from scratch to villagers who had no experience with the sport. You could also think of it as the African vs. the African-American experience.

It’s a classic haha
Same here bro, great classic
Me too. Hailing from the future 2022
same , i feel lonely and it just pop up my mind, childhood days
Same my guy. This movie was 🔥🔥
This movie is actually awesome. Written off on Rotten Tomatoes by soulless critics. It’s so entertaining and fun. Don’t know how anyone could hate it.
It’s horrible. No African would ever find this appropriate
It's a cool movie and an obvious inspiration for Netflix's latest movie "Hustle" featuring Adam Sandler as Kevin Bacon.
@@possiblymaybe6711 speak for yourself!!!
It is good, I remember seeing this movie at the theater. And if rotten tomatoes trashed it, that means it’s good
This movie is fucking garbage, much like Bacon’s acting and 👃
Who can forget this film?!?!?!? I love the 90's!

To be honest I think that was Kevin Bacon's best Star Road movie in his career as a solo Superstar to me that's what put him on the map

A Quiet Place wishes it could reach THESE heights!
H Cortes... you are talking about two completely different films. One is a horror film while the other is a sports comedy/drama.
Motion Picture Association of America.
"The Air Up There" is rated PG for "some violence and language".
Irealy like this movie!!!))
I love this movie
I KNOW WHAT THIS IS!!!
Six Degrees of Separation with Will Smith predates this Kevin Bacon film by weeks, which predates the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon by a few months.
Holy shit I thought this was just an Airplane! skit

SIJAMBO SANA
" The Air Up There " Starring Kevin Bacon......No....Really....Look it up....what does it look like? Yup
Meek Mills
Krugman?
The Air Up There or White Men Cant Jump? I cant decide!
They're both great films. I liked White Men Can't Jump for the basketball scenes with all the wise cracking, fancy dribble moves, and power dunks of modern American playground basketball, but I felt The Air Up There overall was a somewhat more out the box experience due to the cultural aspect of being in Africa teaching the game from scratch to villagers who had no experience with the sport. You could also think of it as the African vs. the African-American experience.
The air
i want to see this full movie hoping it too if you given a permission thanks i'll be waiting
