Prefontaine Clip

[hiyaasamantha]

HIS LAUGH IN THE BEGINNING.

hahahahahaha

[MrSpeedo1000]

Why the hell were they running in lane 6....

[nobos5is]

The only thing that throws me off in this is when they're running in lanes 6,7,8 at 0:28 . I like this movie way better than Without Limits though

[andy23lion]

What's up with Jared weird laugh at the start?! LMAO

[odyb95]

that was the shittest acting ive ever seen, watch without limits

[smittyboy13]

This movie shows him hurting his foot diving off a board but the movie "No Limits" has him messing his foot up playing with a chick in bed. Which was it?

[mandy26lez]

without limits is much better!

[comradegiant]

@mandy26lez It was the pool. He was drunk as a skunk, unfortunately a habit of his. That's first hand from Garry Bjorklund, who tells me Pre was much more affable than either No Limits or Prefontaine make him out to be.

[j4str]

Im from coos bay, my dad graduated with him. Everyone ive talked to has said that he was a complete drunk, arrogant, womanizing asshole, but that has nothing to do with why he is a legend. Had he not died well before his prime, he would accomplished even more.

[cattybabyg]

@j4str Why bring up negative things that people 'supposedly' said about Pre and then compliment him? No offense but that just makes your comment less believable and meaningless, again, no offense.

[j4str]

@cattybabyg I was replying to the person that said that pre was drunk as a skunk and that he was much more affable than the movie showed. I compliment him because I am a runner and what he accomplished was amazing.

[pierceys234]

@j4str that seems to be with alot of people and yes this is true with most people who are gifted at something but not all...like 75 percent of people are like that

[WASTEOFDAY]

I think if ur a track runner u can tell the director made the track race sence that everyone can understand it. Like they said "defending 3 mile champ" no its 5k, also why arent they running in lane one lol?

[TheMachanga]

@WASTEOFDAY 3 mile champ in the NCAA. They were running the Olympic trials. They run the 5k in the olympics...

[WASTEOFDAY]

@TheMachanga doesnt matter they still run 5k at the ncaa champs

[theatlantean2]

steve prefontaine is one of the very few people on the planet earth who rivals CHUCK NORRIS...........Pre was so fast, that everytime he thought about something, that very idea manifested before he finished his thought!!!!!! hahahahah, lol

[Irealyhavetopee]

Without limits is better..

[kyleWAO]

hahahahaha :30 is ridiculous

[sueyking]

why the hell is Pre running in lane 6 at 0:30? Why is the acting so poor? if your looking for a better movie about pre, without limits is the one.

[sueyking]

why the hell is Pre running in lane 6 at 0:30? this movie was sooooo bad! without limits was waaay better.

[luvyoo]

jared leto is a hottie!! <3

[viperdude281]

for some reason i think that would hurt his foot more than this

[NioNPLaNeT]

I know there is 2 movies and I've seen them both, but I do not rememember which one this is and I like this one a lot better

[TheSaaam22]

@NioNPLaNeT its prefontaine, the other one is without limits

[NioNPLaNeT]

@TheSaaam22 Cheers!

[AgTFXCRunner]

LMFAO.... anyone see the kid @ 1:41 who was looking down at Pre for an autograph?

[TempleOfTheFREE]

i dont like this movie they make pre look like a dick

[nickB332]

@TempleOfTheFREE well in real life he was kindof a dick..not this bad but sometimes...

[467076]

@lwtrojanbboy That just shows that hes a little cocky fucker.This movie makes prefontaine look bad and fake i prefer Without Limits its more realistic.

[toby099]

@467076

Thats how he was in real life though. Pre's arrogance is the one thing I don't admire about him.

[467076]

@toby099 Yeah without limits makes him look like he cared about everyone.I guess hollywood made that movie for people who want to think he was like that.

[buneter]

i like how in the olympics the discuss thrower gets a wr but pre is running so no one cares

[risinstarr1]

wow why did pre do tht. i did not knw he was selfish and unthoughtful for his team . sooo not right.

[mazovi30STMaddicted]

the last part is like..."Not Fair."

[crhettbuttler1]

Ooo..He fucking runs perfect

[skull85ify]

Without Limits is more Realistic I liked it better

[NDGoldenDome7]

@skull85ify Agree!

[ltteogeoj]

@skull85ify no this one is alot better

[skull85ify]

Without Limits is more realistic.

[mb0114]

Ed O'Neill and R. Lee Ermey, two of my favorite actors, in the same clip...how is it I never even heard of this movie before today?

[triggsissuperman]

is this like a micktake of prefontaine ?

[kdrast03]

why are they running in lane 6 at :34 and it wasnt who ever these guys he was racing it wad kardong seems like an interesting movie but nothing like without limits

[crbollingerSTLMO]

I absolutely love the arrogance he shows

[someguynamedaaron]

this guy looks nothing like pre, runs nothing like him and resembles him in no way.

without limits billy crudup does a much better interpretation

[drumsisc00l]

i agree with henryniciuhh...he looks like a dick in this clip

[schmidt1495]

He is my hero. Completely amazing. :]. He may have been like that in college (What teenager isn't like that?) but if you read Tom Jordan's book, he is so supportive and amazing. :]. "Go Pre!"

[TheMrFranksta]

does anyone know wht the name of the song that was playing?

[262run]

@TheMrFranksta Teenage Wasteland

[henryniciuhh]

dang, pre looks like a douche in this movie, without limits is way better; this makes me not wanna meet him if it were possible

[makiavelothedog]

the heart of a lion

[chiefshakenbake]

i cut my foot the same way down the web of my toes, except i didnt run, i just got my stitches and limped for a week, my hat is off to steve prefontaine, my role model

[GeneticRealityFilms]

@chiefshakenbake i dont know why some faggot gave you thumbs down but i gave you thumbs up =D

[MyfavoriteDessert]

jared leto has fabulous legs, i thought he did a fine job on acting

[Winston408]

no he was very proud some would say arrogant but come on its holywood.

[goPre16]

no he's right, this movie makes him look like a douche... without limits is 20x better then this movie

[knightsxc06]

I'll give a little perspective: "Prefontaine" was a good made for tv type movie, "Without Limits" was a great motion picture.

[heavenwithin81]

Where can I watch this??

[foozdood]

What's with the noise he makes at the start? lol... and why are they running so side at 0:28 ?

[Steven679]

does anyone know how he actually hurt his foot?

[futuremodal]

He actually did hurt his foot in a diving board accident, as this movie portrays. Unfortunately, the better of the two films - Without Limits - has him hurting his foot during a sex romp in his hotel room. Why neither firm could seem to get things right is indicative of Hollywood's collective incompetence.

[miltondemagnifique]

Doesn't the book say it was a heater? End of the line is it doesn't matter, it was awesome...knowing what we know now not only did he have the pain in the foot but also less blood to pump around his body because it was bleeding the whole time he was running

[GrantLeBon]

Actually, Pre was running around the pool and cut his foot open on a metal bolt sticking up outta the concrete. Pre coulda run on a broken foot. He had something special. It was all in his mind. His heart just followed. Go Pre!

[passi11]

lets be honest tho, the one hurting his foot in an escapade of upside sexual prowess makes him even more amazing haha

[DRthrows]

mac wilkins is the man

[KCspur92]

The scrape in the movie just looks PAINFUL!!! My foot hurts just thinking about it!

[23smith23]

i like how hes in like lane 6 around 35 seconds even though they are clearly finishing the race...

[jonathonpower6666]

jajajaja yes this movie is nothing compared to without limits... the techinique of leto is awful, and cudrup's is ok!

[23smith23]

yeah, crudup does a good job but the movie is just poorly put together.

[JazminSafadi]

Yeah, but plz give Leto, the guy playing Prefontaine, a break. I mean, he only had six weeks to prepare! That's not enough for perfection.

[drewlacrosse17]

Agreed, Without Limits was a way better movie all around. Donald Southerland was a better Bowerman and Billy Crudup was a better Pre than Jared Leto. Plus can anyone take a movie seriously if Al Bundy is in it?

[schultz2384]

i like his qoutes. he said that the best pace is a suicide pace and today is a good day to die.

[ww1313]

this is a pretty bad movie. but DAMN Jared Leto does look a lot like PRE, and I mean A LOT

[riverrattH20]

I appear in the crowd at 1:01, Just in a second. i did background work.

[Stormin4815]

it's from married with children

[tmce24]

wow this movie blows cock compared to without limits

[mod15]

this movie seems to be a horrible representation of pre

[Raimakusa]

Definitely. And that is precisely why I love Without Limits way more.

[vr66r]

Wow this sucks compared to Without Limits

[starbrighter]

Pre forever!

[BIGRED224FOREVER]

good!

[BIGRED224FOREVER]

i love the movie , but really cant get over al bundy! al bundy would have pre running the 400 and throwing 4 touchdowns for polk high school.

[gigityguy]

without limits' pre is so much more realistic. its a better movie than this disney film.

[CatzKr]

This doesnt seem to be as good as Without Limits. I didnt like the interview part. Btw, was it intentional to have the "American distance prodigy" at exactly the same moment as in Without Limits? Pre runs the race with an injured leg, wins, and then comes the "American distance prodigy" thing...just thought it was kind of funny they put the sequences in the same order. XD

[ltteogeoj]

@CatzKr have you ever thought that thats the order it actually happend in? This movie is way better than without limits if you ever get a chance to see the whole thing

[CatzKr]

@ltteogeoj I just meant that they could have been a bit more original, never mind the real order. They just seem so alike, but at the same time so very very different. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but in general I like the casting for WL better. :p

[bionicboy11]

i thick without limits is a grate film as is this. the story of pre is extremely inspirational to me and many others!!! anyone who says pre was rubbish can just bugger off. there's no point in putting people down especial people like Steve Prefontaine!!!

[Raimakusa]

Why the heck are they running in the 6th and 7th lane at 0:28? lawl.

[cnugent2]

haha word

[axeblue]

for the camera car

[ShaDowWolF1000]

WOW! how very...ignorant of you. First of all anyone who goes to the Olympics shows that their one of the greatest athletes in the World especially if there 4th! and second what the fuck have you done with your life!

[musikofthetime]

is jared leto dating anyone? and some says hes gay?? do anyone know??

[toby099]

does anyone care who hes dating?

[kelkins04]

this is my favorite clip too! and for all you people who think pre was nothing, you're wrong... that guy was amazing and has been such an inspiration to me

[meester6178]

steve prefontaine didnt look anything like that

great movie regardless

[lessgravity7]

without limits is better than this

[salldainis]

i love jared leto!!!!!!LOVE

[13Yanks]

damn you really fuckin hate this movie dont you. You don't realize what a true champion is. Pre took shits bigger than you will ever be

[musicianman2112]

yeah, I'd have to say "Without Limits" is way better. That's just my opinion though. The actor even looks more like pre in without limits. The acting is just better all the way around. The angles and the effects are much better in WoL as well...

[rogerklotz8]

I would have to agree...Without Limits was awesome!! It is so inspirational to me as runner

[hsttom]

Lasse viren was supposedly blood doping...

[danielombardi]

Sometimes tragedy is more interesting than triumph...

But, hell yes I'd watch a frank shorter movie.

[jayrunner89]

i met frank last year at a marathon expo real nice guy

[acdcrocker523]

is this the one with the guy from 30 seconds to mars?

[danielombardi]

jared leto. yes.

[sinschild07]

dude, you should have let it go like 20 seconds longer so they could have seen the guy from georgetown reveal the "Stop Pre" shirts =)

[danielombardi]

I did actually, you know how youtube gets.. ergg...

[sinschild07]

aww man, that sucks, still a really cool movie! sad ending though :( that would suck to die the way he did!

[ktat01]

wow this movie looks terrible compared to without limits.

[3chocolate3clock3]

does anyone kno the real way he hurt his foot?

[StratPlayer92]

he cut it on a bolt on a diving board.

not having sex like in Without Limits, and not jumping off a balcony in this.

but this is actually closer to reality than W/O Limits.

[XCcrosscountryXC08]

wow this shits gay as hell. without limits by far way better. they made pre in this one seem more like a showboater then a runner. dont get me wrong he was a showboater a lot but this is just horrible pre wasnt anything like the way they portray him in that clip

[ltteogeoj]

@XCcrosscountryXC08 you should try watching the whole thing

[EdMarcus]

the prefontaine of billy crudup and the movie is much better than this crap

[Anthonymcqueen21]

a agree without limits was alot better in telling his story

[fasterthanpre93]

this movie and jared leto were disgraceful representations of pre and didnt do him justice at all. without limits is wayyyyyyy better

[someguynamedaaron]

yea billy crudup resemble pre a lot better.

he had such a similiar voice, similiar build, similiar look

[wiremanart]

better acting.......etc.

[goPre16]

this movie wasnt that good... without limits was a alot better....but there were some good parts in here...things without limits left out

[danielombardi]

The real way he hurt his foot did involve a pool but I don't think the was jumping off of anything.

[thehobbit08]

was that they way he hurt hes foot or the way he does it in with out limits ?

[hsttom]

in without limites he was in a wierd sex position on his hands and hell

[wiremanart]

without limits representation was a hollywood addition to spice the movie up.

[danielombardi]

"I'm taking about the way you ran your mouth..."

ROFLCOPTER

[FlagonBlackout]

lololol

cracked me up at the start

'EHEHEHEHEHEH'

xD

[javemport]

ha little punk
