This movie gets me literally pumped up all the way. Me and my gay partner always watch this movie when we are 'in the mood', and then dim the lights and get it on.
At the end of every wrestling season, my team piles onto some big foam cushions, orders a pizza for each guy, gets a bunch of soda and watches this amazing movie. Its better then christmas
kuch should have pulled guard then maybe went for a armbar or a omoplata. He still could have done some work in side control. He should have taken jiu jitsu xD
Wrestling is TRULY THE FAIREST SPORT HANDS DOWN...beat out the number 1 one-on-one your varsity...no fricken clipboard analysis like the other sports!!!
Wikipedia's entry on "Only the Young" tells the story behind the song: "The song's first live performance was for a young boy named Kenny Sykaluk who was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. The band flew to his hospital bedside at the request of the Make a Wish Foundation, and gave him a Walkman with a casette of the song. Kenny died the next day, with the Walkman still in his hand. In honor of Kenny Sykaluk, the band used the song as their opener for the Raised on Radio Tour.
This is such an epic movie! I remember in high school when I wrestled, we would watch this movie over and over again and yes we were all dippin!....Good times!
we cant cheer in our wrestle offs theyre both your team mates even if you like one more you shouldnt cheerand who the fuck wears a shirt under their singlet
I'm sorry,I love this movie but if there was anyone with the name kuch he would be getting crap from the team the whole season. personanly I would call him the coochie monster
What makes this one of the best movie beginnings is that it starts out with a blackscreen. The only sensation is the sound of the jump rope. The first time you see the movie, you aren't sure what the jump rope sound actually is. Then, the opening strains to "Lunatic Fringe" fade in.
Then it dawns on you. You recognize the sound from your own jump rope sessions. Then the video fades in revealing Louden working out alone.
You need to add back in the opening 5 seconds of the flick.
Great movie but unrealisitc. Every match doesn't end in a pin by throwing move. And no one wears singlets during practice. Whatever. They did it for dramatic effect.
This and youngblood are the two best '80's sports movies. and Major league does'nt fit in this category, its a comedy. Also louden just turning 18 to start his senior season. does'nt that make him somebody who had to be left back a grade. A dimwit. hahahaha..
No. No it does not. Seniors are generally born between September and July 18 years their graduating school year. Example: I turned 18 in February of my graduating year, my friend turned 18 in the very beginning of the school year (September).
best intro ever....my name is louden..louden swain
