  • well unfortunately i wasn't alive in 1947. so i guess i never really saw them in their prime, so that "fans who still think notre dame is the notre dame of 1947" shit doesn't apply to me.. plus you can't read my mind, so how do you know i think i'm better than everyone. anyway who's your team?

  • go rudy i am a small kid who played for my middle schools football team and am always told i'm too small i am in 7th grade and 4 foot 9 and when i saw this movie it ws a inspiration to never gibe up no matter how small i am

  • exactly im 4'10 7th grade and it gives me the same feeling too

  • maybe i'm a purdue fan....damn no use arguing with you, you're just a dumbass with some serious issues.....good luck with that

  • who's saying I'm an ND fan? I can't just like the movie? you should really get a life...

  • I saw the play and the hoisting of Rudy after the game on live TV back in 1975. It was a classic college football moment. For all of you anti ND people, that's fine. That's your right. But the ones posting here are showing a level of intellect tantamount to a rock. Tantamount...look it up. Sorry, it has more than one syllable. I'm betting you genius scribers barely passed the 10th grade. And just for the record....I was a student a Grad student at USC when this happened. Have a nice day.

  • well if you don't care, why did you comment? nice contradiction, dumbass

  • and you couldn't do that without leaving 6 anti notre dame comments?

  • Then why r you watching rudy highlights dumb ass.

  • whatever your the one whos COMMENTING ON A NOTRE DAME VIDEO so in the end you lose

  • ¡Qué ejemplo de lucha! el espiritu humano en su manifestación más alta, hombres como Rudy (ignorados casi siempre) en todas las épocas con sus conquistas nos comprometen a seguir luchando.

  • Tu tener musho razon, comprende?

  • Rudy got help with that sack.

  • Notre Dame is my favorite college football team and rudy will go down as one of my favorite players in the fighting irish's history (even though he only got one sack out of his entire career in Notre Dame)

  • RUDY WAS OFFSIDES :)

  • I read that Coach Devine was exactly against Rudy playing and that it was created for dramatic effect in t he movie. In Devine's autobiography (GREAT BOOK by the way) he states this and how he was hurt when he saw how he was portrayed in the movie. I saw an interview with Rudy a few years back and he confirmed that Dan Devine did not want to stop him from playing and was actually quite in favor of it.

  • BMGS....is that the story of your life?...Boy to Men to Girl(after the sex operation)...and S for ????...use your own imagination........

  • can you upload a version without the music. I want to see it as it was originally broadcast.

  • oh and actually the scene in the movie where the team tells the coach to let Rudy dress in their place is based on true events.....it just wasn't the whole team that did it...it was just a couple of the players

  • The story of Rudy isn't just about him playing...it was about how he overcame the odds of not being the biggest, smartest, or most athletic and succeeding in his goal of getting into Notre Dame and being apart of the football team....that is no joke

  • I agree it is a great story.... Loved the movie ....Notre Dame...Not so much..

  • hahahahah rudy is a damn joke,glad he got to play the last two plays but it was a damn sham he was even rememberd when alot of guys just like him or better than him had the same experience,and no one rememberd them,and thats sayin alot from me being from muncie indiana.that movie should have been about gary chris from u.t. he held passing records there for over 30 years,and played for the 49er,and was also my high school football coach at coafeild tenn

  • are you really that jealous? I guarantee you never accompished anything like he did.

  • @scars73 not takeing anything from the man rudy,he had hart,but im not jelous of two plays hahahaha who would be,i played all the way up till i got out of school,but hey i bet he got laid that night,

  • it's not about the play or plays he got in. Did you even watch the movie? you don't sound too smart. Who cares if you played or not.

  • YEA I SEEN IT LIKE 100 TIMES,suckie movie,like rudy.

  • I have to wonder, BMG... If you thought the movie sucked, why did you see it so many times?

  • congrats want a ribbon. so what you had some football player as your coach. rudy is one of the best notre dame players of all time and will always be one of the best

  • rudy wasnt one of the best lol wtf if he was why did he only got to plat in two plays lol just a good story was all he was "best" hahahahaha my ass

  • one of the best notre dame players

  • AGREE!

  • Rudy was offsides.

  • no he wasn'tin te slow-mo thing he was pwrfectl onsides

  • Just like in Invincible, the director simplified the play. Rudy did cause the sack. Rudy might have gotten a hand on him, but most likely Jeff Weston, Jay Achterhoff, Willie Fry, or John Galanis made the tackle.

    Note: Rudy at 5.6 165 makes him large for his height in 1975. On most teams outside the elite, he would have had regular playing time.

  • If u watch he as a leg, if that dosent count as a sack it dont know what does

  • ya, in the movie it said it was mostly the student body

  • Where was the whole stadium chanting "Rudy, Rudy! Rudy!", hmm I didn't hear that. And as someone else pointed out, the jersey scene never happened. But then again it wouldn't have been as dramatic a movie without the fake chants and the jersey scene.

  • does anyone remember the 2000 nd game against purdue when setta hit that GW FG? wasn't he carried off the field or am i mistaken?

  • My uncle was at this game

  • my man RUDY...

    WOOOOOO

  • Looks like half of a sack to me.

  • Still he got to him first. That's pretty good for a 165 pound defensive end.

  • they still carried him off the field.

  • You get an idea of how much Hollywood embellishes things. In the movie, ND throws a trick half back option pass for a TD (so Rudy can get in on defense). Here they score on a short pitch and run. Also, in the movie Rudy sacks the QB by himself...here he shares the sack with a DL. I've also heard that the scene where his teammates turn in their jerseys to coach Devine in protest, never happened.

  • Yeah, The idea of dressing Rudy up for the final home game was in fact Devine's idea. The actual Dan Devine wrote a letter of protest to the producers of the film on how the jerseys scene never happened.

  • Yeah, Hollywood has a habit of re-writing history for "football movies". Both "Friday Night Lights" and "Remember the Titans" had some major story-line changes for the big screen.

  • The film made Dan Devine look like the bad guy.

  • it sure did. He actually said that this movie was complete bs

  • Although......Dan Devine in the movie says the line that always gives me goosebumbs, 'Nobody........and i mean nobody.....comes into our house and pushes us around.'

  • actually it did happen, only it was 2 players and not the whole team.

  • Screw this part! I want to see him carried off the field!

  • Yes, he did the radio play by play of that game.

  • Damn movie still makes me cry. He just worked so hard to get what he wanted...I'll never understand how people don't find that inspirational.

  • i love usc but i also love this movie

  • Im a michigan fan, and Rudy is one of my favorite movies, great storyline, best part of it all is its based off a true story!! rudys nephew? plays college baseball i cant remember exactly what team but i believe it is arizona state!

  • oh my god all he did was cut back threw the georgia tech defense wats so important now if notre dame was losing and came back because of him that would be awesome

  • did you ever see the movie?

  • no i never seen it

  • if you watch the movie then you would understand what is so special about this. normally no this wouldnt be a big deal, rudy has a learning disability which i dont think is stated in the movie, but the rest is. just watch it. its an inspiring movie.

  • in the movie it was said that he has dislexia (spelling?).

  • hmm i must have been TOO into the movie to realize it. lol

  • its the fact he worked so hard his whole entire life when people told him he couldnt and he succeeded what isnt great about that

  • rudy always makes me cry

  • just had a man cry.......going to watch the rudy now lol

  • wow dgdgdg100172 is a low life faggot that likes cock in his ass

  • Sounds like you're just a little jealous that he proved everyone wrong about himself. He gave at least 10 times the heart and effort of everyone else. And he had been playing ever since he was a kid. Other than plalying for years and working his butt off, I guess he seems to be lacking experience. (Sarcasm).

  • i wish you would get your legs broke asshole

  • There's always one asshole who can't be happy with anything. I truely feel sorry for that dude.

  • BEST SPORTS MOVIE EVER !!!!!

  • He also didn't even sack him, he just hopped in when the big guy was sacking him

  • BY the way idiot if you look close he did sack him

  • Lol. He was way offsides

  • Comment removed

  • it the best football movie they ever made

    go rudy!!!!!!!!!

  • Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!

  • that movie was great. i cried

  • Your video description is complete win.

  • awesome

  • i'm gay

  • The guy was 5'6", 100 something pounds, fuckhead.

  • on the movie everybody was shouting "RUDY!" did they do this back then?

  • Yeah, but it wasn't the whole crowd like in the film.

  • yeah thats why it was in the movie ruty told the story himself

  • hey screw you im not a notre dame fan but this was a good story

  • ok.

  • your not even close to right about that at all

  • This has changed my life forever! nah

  • RUDY! RUDY! RUDY! RUDY! RUDY! RUDY! RUDY! lol

  • i know the real rudy his real name is daniel ruettieger and hes one of my friends moms brothers

  • The quarterback defiantly would have broken Rudy's tackle if it weren't for that other guy. And a lot of that movie is bull shit too there was no janitor or any of that but it's still unbelievable and he's my hero.

  • does anyone know what the backround song is called?

  • it's from the rudy soundtrack "tryouts"

  • Holy shit look at him go!

  • The last picture shows 45 which was his number and it sure looks like he is on the field.

  • Did the crowd actually chant Rudy like in the movie or is that also embellished?

  • Comment removed

  • yea they really did duh what the heck were have u been? oh really embelished gayy

  • the cheer at the movie end is bullshit

  • I don't care if it was only a assisted tackle ,a half tackle or whatever. Rudy's only dream was to run out of that tunnel and play just ONE play for ND in order to be credited as part of the team and HE DID IT ! He had so many disadvantages but his heart, dedication and hard work won the respect of alot of people and made his dream came true . That's what is true , and the whole point of of the movie and it's good enough for me .

  • incredible

  • Haha we definitely all just finished watching it on AMC. Thats pretty funny

  • haha good call.

  • hahahah

  • rofl

  • yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rudy

  • pshhhh it was an assisted sack.... GO BLUE!!

  • lol...you finished watching it on AMC also...

    It's still a great story!

  • well, 10 minutes ago.

  • Never get tired of this Classic...RUDY!!!

  • Comment removed

  • He's a regular Jay Alford.

  • Comment removed

  • this movie is the best college sports movie ever made. The music gets you so fired up... I played this video obnoxiously loud and during the movie i cheered for rudy! go rent it if u havent seen it!

  • Agreed...I'm an Alabama fan and it is one of the best sports movies of all time

  • i'm 30 years old and just saw rudy for the first time on AMC. great movie.

  • haha i just saw it too

  • I love the story and the inspiration behind it, but maybe somebody can help me out here. The way I'm looking at it, that QB didn't go down by himself. Did Rudy come in from the right or left?

  • left

  • ya there where two guys that brought him down but Rudy hurried the Qb right into the arms of another guy. In fact his first play he hurried the QB also. Not bad for two plays.

  • a true golden domer

  • Just finished watching Rudy for the ????? time on AMC. It always brings a tear to my eye as I share this film of inspiration and hope with my boys. it proves with a little and sometimes a lot of hard work, good things happen.

  • Me too! This is only the second time I have ever watched the entire movie. It was so good. I wanted to jump into Rudy's arms and celebrate his victories and heartbreaks with him.

  • Jump along with him

  • Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy...

  • RUDY! RUDY! RUDY!

  • Who's the wild man now!?

  • who cares about all the tiny details in the game at the end. The point of the freakin movie was to show people that Rudy worked his ass off to achieve a lifelong dream. He had more drive and heart to be a Notre Dame football player than anyone could possibly fathom and all you people care about is passing a long bomb pass instead of a goal-to-run in the movie. Sean Astin wasn't the real Rudy either and no one is complaining about that...

  • Th movie was far more entertaining than the real thing. I should never have watched this clip. Now that I know what really happened the movie doesnt seem as good anymore. :-(

  • I am. The clip is missing all of the fancy camera angles and slo-mo effects of the film, but there's still this runty 5'7" 165 wlb 24 year old kid with dyslexia from a poor working class family of 14 kids who works his ass off for years trying to overcome a learning disability and a lot of people telling him he can't have his dream and he doesn't let it go. He was quoted in the university newspaper as saying it was his dream to be able to play for Notre Dame even if it was only for a second..

  • Wow, he really did record a sack.  Way to go, Rudy!

  • he was recorded in the ND books with one play under his name, and recorded with a sack. I believe for 7 yards.

  • Wow i thought Rudy was okay but if they remember him for only one sack then the wrighter must of takin a bullet to the head!

  • rudy isnt a lil guy any more i can tell you all that right now..sorry that was really mean but that is ohk he would still love me if ii said that to his face b/c he is a great uncle..ii think all the other 13 of them take after himm..yea he is kinda old..

  • Thanks for posting this.....one of the BEST sports movies of all time. My late father was at the game when they filmed the "Rudy Bowl" segment at halftime of the Notre Dame/BC match up in 1992, so I have a sentimental attachment to the film...he was the one somewhere in the stands chanting "Rudy Rudy"...perhaps you heard him(lol)? Even that aside, it was still a great story and brings new meaning to the phrase "rooting for the little guy". Thanks again!

  • RUDY!! RUDY!!

  • Rudy is one of the best sports movie ever. One of my favorites of all time too. I have always wanted to see the actual footage of him getting in the game against Tech.

  • ya Rudy was awesome i liked remember the titans a lil better tho

  • Great stuff.

  • ya cant man .... that would be falsifying what happened in the football game.

  • "ya cant man .... that would be falsifying what happened in the football game" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Well, they already did falsify it a bit. The movie showed the final ND touchdown as a long bomb pass when it was really a short goal-to-go run. They also showed Rudy's sack as a solo unassisted sack when the D-lineman actually helped bring down the QB. However, when you look at the sack on the clip above, you'd see that Rudy pretty much had the guy down on his own.

  • No, that would have been stupid. That sack was huge for him and it's more than enough. A fumble returned for TD would only spoil the movie because it is too much unrealistic. It's the best this way.

  • Yeah i agree. First time i saw that sack i screamed for like a solid minute, thats the best possible thing he could have accomplished in his few plays.

  • thank you nexxogen thats exactly my point. if rudy ONLY had the sack, it should only be KEPT as the sack and nothing more. the preservation to the integrity of the actual game that occured must remain intact; or else it'll look like another cliche disney movie.

  • I want to see Rudy hop over the offensive line and put both feet into the QB's face, in which the ball jerks loose and flies towards the opposite endzone, and rudy, foot still lodgd in oponents helmut, limps over and makes the TD.

    THAT, is what SHOULD of happened.

  • i lovve rudy

  • nice job rudy, but he had help on that sack,the movie shows him sacking with no help.

  • drink bleach.

  • yes usc is know for things like the bush push and oj simpson the murder and people paying there way to buy the hesimen and choking in national championships game which nd as never done

  • i go to tech, but this is still a great story. i like to think that ND won, not that GT lost :)

  • what a great movie.

    rudy earned it!

  • yeah when he first runs on the feild at the end of the game

  • Just watched the entire movie on hulu-dot-com for free. Impressive. (Watch it, you might tear up.)

  • yea i just watched this on hulu too. awesome movie

  • Me too :D

  • ha i read the comments and had to watch it just now. even tho its a game against my school, i loved it. gave me chills!

  • Thanks for sharing this. I just watched the movie. And this clip was the icing on the cake. Sweet!

  • rudy's brother was my gym teacher in high school.

  • The Rudy movie was great, but as is common with movies "based on true stories" it is juked up with bullshit. Ex; in the movie, at the end, nearly the whole team is focused on Rudy with him being hauled off a hero. In real life, it was just a couple of players half-assed holding him up briefly with no one else paying any attention. The players never threatened to quit either. Oh well, Hollywood.

  • wow i feel bad know so no one realy cared and no one picked him up

  • OFFSIDES!!!!!!!!!

  • LMFAO!!!!!

  • Great moment in the history of man. It shows the strenth of will. The power of determination is for most people to have antime they choose, Rudy was one who utilized it.

  • So true. Man, I love this movie.

  • mad respect for rudy and his efforts for ND, but come on, he was soooo offsides on that play
