[Ethiopienblanc]

@stumoss1962 look at e-bay i found here ! :-)

[LBJTV]

lol..thats eugene levy at 2:24..forgot he was in this film

[smclellan2112]

Thank you SO much. I saw this when I was eleven, and am sorry I let the inspiration wane. We all need to keep running.

[stumoss1962]

i've been searching for this movie forever- how can i get a copy please help

[antasatibal]

the ending line by coach walker absent from most copies is: 'i was wrong, mike, please forgive me!'

(very important to a full understanding of the movie)

[vordox1]

they need to release this on dvd, I remember watching this a a kid

[davelounder]

@vordox1 Fully agreed, Vordox!!! I was really moved by this film, and Mr. Douglas was remarkable! Wouldn't you think that with Michael's major successes since 1979, someone would release this gem on DVD?! "If we weren't all out of a job, then you certainly would be!" ~ Michael Andropolis Thanks for listening! Dave Lounder (Film Actor)

[tarnel9]

Yes.

[antasatibal]

@tarnel9 so he should have kept runnin after the flick was made...

[tarnel9]

Not bad for a lifetime smoker.

[antasatibal]

@tarnel9 u mean michael douglas?

[mvmnam]

This movie was a monumental piece of crap. The acting was barely tolerable. The story line is melodramadic tripe. The only redeeming quality in the film was watching the bozo wipe out. I laughed my ass off. It almost made the waste of my time worthwhile.

[antasatibal]

@mvmnam i dont think you run yourself otherwise you wouldn't post such a stupid comment! which IS a piece a crap...

[MrPolito16]

@antasatibal que buena pelicula es inspiradora

[powerlounger]

Ok, at 6:37 is one of the FUNNIEST movie scenes. Ever. 

[antasatibal]

@powerlounger u call it funny?!? well we dont understand that word the same way

[powerlounger]

@antasatibal My definition of funny: laugh-out-loud hilarious. I think I'll replay it again, get my laugh in for the day.

[antasatibal]

@powerlounger that's what i thought - u're patthetic, mate!

[powerlounger]

@antasatibal BWWWWAAAHAHHAAAAHHAAAAAAAAA!!!­! 

[rangoon55]

@powerlounger - True! And when that doofus #77 flails past him, it's comedic gold!

[antasatibal]

@rangoon55 u suck, u know that? try to run a marathon and then u call open your big mouth

[davelounder]

@powerlounger Very sad comment ........ God bless you!

[dougseville]

I've looked for this on DVD for years ... thank you for putting out this tribute.

[susancompton1]

O.M.G. I love this movie and have spent years searching for it, and telling all the marathoners that I know about it.This was a delight to have my favorite marathoner email this clip to me.....I really hope they re-release this movie...it's a classic.

[powerlounger]

Ok, the best moment in this movie occurs at 6:34. Saw this movie in the theatre and just burst out laughing at that most-crucial moment. And seeing it here tonight; well, what can I say, burst out laughing all over again.

[matsuokack]

I watched this movie many years ago on TV, when I was a teenager. I was impressed with the final part that after Michael tumble over, he still waddle through the street, striving to finish the game. Even knowing that he has no chance of any medal, but he still endeavour to pass the finishing line. Such kind of sportsmanship and endurance is honourable.

[nastynick1975]

Really a great film, which I saw first more than 20 years ago, on VHS... A shame it cannot be found on DVD.

Thank you for this tribute.

[antasatibal]

does anybody know why the scene in which mike andropolis' coach asks him to forgive him seems to be lost?

[CARDMAN365]

had this movie on video tape lost it wish i still had it.

[MASmith91]

This is truly a great movie, and it should be released on DVD

[ShaneMullaney]

@MASmith91 it is

[gkryoda]

I do love that movie.
