You use live chickens in pregame sacrificial rituals, not KFC. At least they admitted it in the movie.
Sports movie mistakes/inaccuracies that drive you nuts

I've only seen a clip of the ending of Trouble With The Curve, but seriously? The kid they drafted #1 overall can't hit a curve?
Ruined the whole 2 minute clip for me.

In varsity blues, mox throws the ball at the other teams mascot on the sideline instead of spiking the ball. He wasted precious time by not spiking it, plus if it was forwards which you can’t really tell, it could be intentional grounding.
Also a fat a$$ lineman wouldn’t be able to score a touchdown on the hook and ladder play they run.

Actually, this is plausible. The game was played differently back then so the pace was much slower than today. Even today, if the Hanson's were 4th liners they might only see one shift a period on some teams. Reg easily could have just rolled 3 lines and sat the 4th liner Hansons.
and the defender on the left is literally trying to get out the way
I guess if a 5'5" werewolf was driving by me I might do the same
The Breakfast Club - Emilio Estevez as a wrestler who is eating a several thousand calorie lunch.
Um, nope.
Um, nope.
Especially in the late 80's. HS wrestlers back then were always cutting weight. Poor bastards would sit at the lunch table and watch us eat all the while spitting into a plastic cup. I don't think they had rules back then about weight cutting.
Ugh… of course you’d be team lateral instead of team ladder.
I've just always hated in basketball movies when they show the guy shooting and then immediately cut to just showing the ball going through the hoop from like a foot away from the rim. Annoys the shit out of me.
Or when the quarterback throws a ball sidearm that would not make it 10 yards… then cut to it falling into the receiver’s hands 50 yards down the field.
Maybe you just suck as a coach.
Another star QB that FSU missed out on, like Joe Mauer
In Vision Quest Matthew Modine is trying to lose weight to wrestle a guy who is clearly about 20 lbs heavier than him.
Same reason Pop Didn’t play Roy Hobbs for weeks on end.
1. Art Howell was a bad, fat manager.
2. Boxing referees routinely let fights go on when an opponent is literally teeing off on a guy and sending him across the ring with his punches repeatedly.

Nuke Laloosh had 18 walks and 18 strikeouts in his professional debut. That's 126 pitches right there, minimum. You know those 18 walks weren't on 4 pitches and the 18 Ks weren't on 3. Plus, he needed 9 other outs.
Ya but without Coach Carter how would you know that our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure?
My dad told me that when I was like 5. So I've known it all along.
Doesn't he say "I don't want your life" meaning he doesn't want what his dad wants for him?
Evidently, this actor had zero idea how to throw / pitch. I guess it was so bad that they had to use a double when he is shown from behind completing the pitch. CSB
Must had been his superb acting skills that let him hold on to the role. (Touches face)

Tom Berenger in Major League moved and ran like he had polio. Good lord, shoot him already.
Also, despite the fact that I am a huge Karate Kid fan, can someone please explain to me why the crane technique "no can defend"? Thanks in advance.

There was something in Hoosiers that never added up. I'll have to re-watch. I think it might have been the number of the players on the bench/team
It was one of the players that walked out of practice and quit, then mysteriously was on the team later in the movie with no explanation
Remember the Titans was ruined for me when the opposing coach goes batshit crazy not expecting a pass when they had to get in the end zone at the end. You're clearly playing prevent d in that case knowing they need a td.
They explained one of the them coming back, but the numbers still didn't add up. Glad I'm not the only one to notice.
I've probably watched that movie 40 times
Lol yea me too. One of them came back with the dad as the dad made him apologize.. he later became an assistant coach. The other one (buddy?) just reappeared on the team. Imdb says there was a scene that explained it but it ended up getting cut
By far the worst Rocky (or any boxing movie bullshit) is Rocky 1.....Mick cutting Rocky's eyelids with a razorblade....so he can see and continue fighting.
Sly jumped the shark tank with that one.
I had a friend that was a defensive lineman, weighed around 170-175 (Class 1A school) and would lose like 40 lbs to wrestle. I thought he was insane even though he weighed more than me after he cut weight.
This is another good one. NASCAR drivers do not bang into each other like they were depicted in that stupid movie. I could barely watch it because of the constant collisions.
