On your mark, get set, go!

Hey, Derice.
Are you running, man?

Yeah.

Good morning.

Morning.

Hey, there, Derice.

Yeah, man.

Morning.

Faster, Bannock, faster.

Come on, child.
You have an Olympics
to get to.

Handsome as a lion, that one.

I could watch that
backside all day.

Come on,
Derice, keep running!
You can do it! Go! Come on!

Hey, Sanka,
this steering
wheel is finished.

All right, team.
Let's get ready for
the pre-race cheer.

Ready?
Yes, sir!

Ready?
Yes, sir!

All right!
One, two, three, toot.

Who's the captain of our crew?
Who's a friend to me and you?

Kind and nice,
good-looking, too?
Sanka, Sanka, yeah, Sanka!

Get back to work.

Who's the big, hot bag of air
who doesn't have
to comb his hair?

Who doesn't bathe
and doesn't care?

Sanka! Sanka! Sanka!

Hey, Sanka! Hey!

What's happening, star?
Where you been, man?

You almost missed my
all-time world record
seventh derby in a row.

Easy, Rasta.
I'm not gonna forget

my best friend on
his day of days.

Derice, my grandfather says

you're definitely going
to make it to the Olympics.

He says you're even faster
than your father.

Yeah, man.
Do it for Jamaica.

Hey, you know what
my grandfather says?

What?

Get back to work!

Good luck, man.
I'll see you at
the finish line, all right?

Hi, Momma Coffie.
Hi, Derice.

Derice, is Sanka ready?
Who knows?

"Ready."
That boy's never ready.

He's a lazy, crazy, sorry,
no-good bugaboo.

So what you laughing at?

All pushcarts to
the start position.

Ready, little man?

Ready, big man.

Kiss the lucky egg.

Let's go.

On your marks.

Feel the rhythm.
Feel the rhyme.

Get on up.
It's pushcart time!

And go!

Here we go, Winston!
The Rockett has been launched.

Hey, pokey,
where'd you get that car?

Clear out!
Come on, move out! Move out!

Sanka Coffie!
Pushcart champion!
Pushcart champion!

Get the wheel!
Get the wheel!

Hey, Grandma,
out of my way!
Hey, Sunday driver!

Make room for
the Rasta Rockett!
Yes, yes, yes.

Make room.
Peewee, move! Move out.

Sanka, four more carts left.

I love Jamaica
and Jamaica loves me!

Sanka! Sanka!

Move over! Two more!

Get away!

Get off me!

Call your mother!

Go, Sanka!

One more car left!
Go! Go! Go!

We win!

Jump, Winston. Jump!

Sanka.

Move it, man!
Move, move, move!

Sanka, you dead?

Yeah, man.

Ooh!

And where do you
think you're going?

You caught me.

You have papers to grade.

I'm just getting
in one last run.

Mmm-hmm.

I can't believe
the trials are finally here.

You nervous?

I'm not nervous.

I'm ready. I've been ready
for this day my whole life.

I don't care
how fast they run.
I'm gonna run faster.

I don't care how
much they want it.
I want it more.

I'm going to the Olympics,
baby. I feel it.

I'm gonna win the gold.

Derice, are you nervous?

I'm terrified.

It's my turn, Joy.
It's my turn.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the final event
of today's Olympic tryouts.

We have now come
to the main
event of our games,

the running of
the 100 metre finals.

We've hada most
successful afternoon,

and I'd like to congratulate
all of the athletes

who have participated
in today's events.

You sure no one can beat him?

Sure I'm sure.

I'm just a little concerned
about that big baldy.

Let me first
congratulate our athletes

on a splendid performance.

And let me remind
them that only
the top four finishers

will earn the right
to represent Jamaica

in the forthcoming
summer games
in Seoul, Korea.

Wait.
You're Derice Bannock, right?

That's me.

I hope I make the team.

It would be a real honour
to run with you.

Good luck to you.
Good luck to you.

Derice Bannock.
Hey, good luck to you, too.

Runners, take your marks.

Get set.

Mr Coolidge, please,
you have to run the race over.

I'm sorry, Derice.
Nothing can be done.

But I was born to compete
in the Olympics.

Then you're gonna have to
work on your boxing
or your cycling.

Those are
the only other two sports
in which Jamaica competes.

I am not a boxer.
I am a runner.
And it wasn't fair.

It rarely is, my boy.
It rarely is.

Well, Poppa, what do I do now?

Look, Derice.
Let it go. Let it go.

You will have another
chance in four years.

Yeah.

Mr Coolidge,
who is the other man
in the picture with my father?

Irving Blitzer.
He's an American
who lives here.

Unless, of course,
he's been arrested or shot.

Excuse me?

Well, he's a bookie, now.

Takes his bets in
a small pool hall
just past Sandy Bay.

Isn't that a gold medal
around his neck?

Yeah. That lunatic was
an Olympic bobsledder

who tried to get your father
to switch sports.

He had some theory about
using track sprinters to
push the bobsled.

Some ridiculous thing like that.

Can you imagine,
a Jamaican bobsledder?

And you're sure this man,
he lives on the island?

Oh, yes.

Mr Coolidge, thanks a lot.

Good, Derice.

Could I borrow this picture?

Bring it back.

Yes.
Thanks a lot, Mr Coolidge.

Just one more thing.

Mmm?

What's a bobsled?

That's a bobsled!

Oh! So a bobsled
is a pushcart
with no wheels.

That's what it looks like here.

Let me see that.

All right.
"The key elements for
a successful sled team are

"a steady driver
and three strong

"runners to push
off down the ice."

Ice? Ice.

Well, it's kind of
a winter sport, you know.

You mean winter as in ice?

Maybe.

You mean winter as in
igloos and Eskimos
and penguins and ice?

Possibly.
See you.

Where you going?

I'm gonna take a hot bath.

I'm getting cold
just thinking
about all this ice.

No, man. You're gonna be
part of my bobsled team.

What you need me for?

Who is the best
pushcart driver
in all of Jamaica?

You're looking at him.
Then you're gonna do it?

No!

Hey, man, you could be famous.

You could have your picture
on a Wheaties box.

But you said "no,"
and that's all right,
because I don't need you.

Everybody is gonna want
to be on my bobsled team.

Look, star, let me tell you
a little something, all right?

When you need something from me,

you don't have to hand me
a bunch of lines.

All you have to do
is look at me
in the eye and say,

"Sanka, you are my best friend.

"We've been through
a whole heap together,

"and I really,
really need you."

Sanka, you're right.
And you are my best friend.

And we've been through
a whole lot together.

Heap. Heap.

Sorry, man.
A whole heap together.

And I really, really need you.

And I really, really need you.

Forget it.
But you just
said if I said...

All right.
All right. All right.
All right, man.

So, let's talk
about this billsled team.

No. Bobsled team.

Whoever.

Now, about the Wheaties box.
I'm gonna be on it
by myself, right?

No, man,
you're gonna be on it with me.

And down the stretch

they come!
Tumbleweed is holding on

as Captain Video is still
running on the outside.

Yes, Tumbleweed, yes.
Come on!

The leader is dropping back
as Tumbleweed holds the rail.

That's it! Good Tumbleweed.
Good Tumbleweed.

Tumbleweed is slowing...

No, Tumbleweed. No.

Bad Tumbleweed.
What are you doing?

Tumbleweed can't hold it
as he gets pinned
against the rail.

Don't do that.
It's a close race
as they approach...

Let him out.
Captain Video makes his move.

Tumbleweed running gamely...
No! I need this one!

But Captain Video seems
just a little bit too strong.

Please. Come on!

Here they come.

No!

Yes.
Tumbleweed can't hold it

as Captain Video takes charge.
And it's Brewster
finishing in second.

Susan's Pride finishes in third

and Tumbleweed nowhere in sight.

But my, oh, my,

the odds-on favourite showed his

true colours with
that late-stretch run.

Tumbleweed held on momentarily,

but realistically
only a fool would put
their money on Tumbleweed.

That horse had no chance of...

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

That guy won two gold medals?

I think so.

That's Tumbleweed gone.
Okay, next race.

Excuse me.
Are you Mr Irving Blitzer?

Well, that depends
on who's asking.

My name is Derice Bannock.
This is my team mate,
Sanka Coffie.

Greetings, sled god.

We were just wondering
if you'd be
interested in coaching

the first Jamaican bobsled team.

Derice. Remember the radio?
Radio. Stick.

Hitting with the stick.
Let's go!
Let's go, Derice!

Come on, Coach.

Just help me get started.

Greetings, sled god.
Sorry to bother you,

but you're the only one
who can help us.

Get out! Get out!

Go away.
Okay.

Nice to meet you!

Maybe today is a bad day.

Yeah.

I'll come back tomorrow.
And the next day.

And the next day.
No.

Look, whatever your name is...

Derice.

All right, Derice.
Let me lay out some
difficulties for you.

Snow. You don't have any.
It's 900 degrees out there.

Time. You don't have any.
The Olympics are
in three months.

And me.
You don't have me.

As far as I'm concerned,
the sport

of bobsledding no longer exists.

I don't want to do it,
I don't want to coach it,

and most of all,
and I mean most of all,

I don't want to be
within 2,000 miles
of anyone who does.

Now, did you follow all that?

Then how come you still have
that poster on the wall?

Is that what's bothering you?

There. Is that better?
Are you happy?

Like I said,
my name is Derice Bannock.

I'm Ben Bannock's son.

I haven't seen this
picture in 20 years.

Huh.
Would you look at me then?

Would you look at me now?

Please, Mr Blitzer,
just give me a chance.

If I don't have what it takes,
we'll forget the whole thing.

Believe me, kid,
you do not have what it takes.

But you thought my father did.

Your father was one of
the toughest competitors
I ever saw.

He ran the
100 metres in 10 flat.

Well, I run it in 9.9.

Come on. Coach me.

Sorry.
You're a couple decades late.

Oh, I see. Well,
it might be easy for you

to walk away
from me, Mr Blitzer,

but you can't
walk away from this.

Twenty years ago,
you came down here to see

if you could make
a Jamaican sprinter
into a bobsledder,

and you never got that chance.

Look at me, Mr Blitzer.
I'm your chance.

Take it.

All right,
everyone quiet down.
Nice group here.

Now,
for two of you lucky people,

our trip to
the Olympics starts
right now.

And I want to introduce you
to Mr Irving Blitzer,

who's going to be
our expert bobsled coach.

Sanka. Hit it, man.

You're on the air, sled god.

Gentlemen, a bobsled is
a simple thing.

Yeah, so is a toilet.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Basically,
what you're looking to do
is get your sorry rear ends

from the top of an icy chute
to the bottom.

You're zigging.
You're zagging.

It's the biggest,
coldest roller coaster
you've ever been on.

Ice.

Ooh.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

I almost forgot.

One minor drawback
to this delightful
winter sport

is the high-speed crash.

That hurt.

Always remember,
your bones will not
break in a bobsled.

No, no. They shatter.

So, who wants in?

Look, baldy's here.

Glad you could make it, man.

Don't touch me.

No problem.
So what's your name?

Yul Brenner.

Well, it's good to have you
as a team mate, Brenner.

Let's get one thing
straight, Bannock.

We may be on the same team,
but I am no one's team mate.

Long as you come
here to bobsled.

Hey, listen, man,
the only reason
why I come here

is to get off of
this stinking island.

If I have to take
one of those bobsleds
to do it, then all right.

No problem.
Uh...

Yes. Yes, I have a problem.

There's no such thing
as a three-man sled.

You're one Jamaican short.

Hey.

The meeting start yet?

Uh-oh.

You! I'll kill you.
No.

Wait, wait!

I'll kill you!

Think, man.
Think. Down, boy.

I'll kill you.

You're dead! You're dead!

Kill him,
and we don't have a team.

I'm not riding in
the same sled as that.

He tripped me, too, you know.

But in case you
haven't noticed,
there's no one else here.

You're crowding me, slinky-head.

Slinky-head.
That's a good one.

What are you laughing about?

Nothing.

If it wasn't for you, rich boy,

I'd be in
the Olympics right now.

I don't know
what you all
are arguing about,

'cause Derice was gonna beat
both of your butts anyway.

What are you talking about?
How about I beat
your butt right now?

How about I draw a line
down the middle of your head

so it looks like a butt?

Forget it, man. I'm gone.

Fine.
Stay here on the island.
We are going to Canada.

All right. I'll do it.

But you better tell
this mama's boy to stay
the hell away from me.

You understand?

No problem.

Hey, Irv. Say hello
to the first
Jamaican bobsled team.

Oh, goody.

Gentlemen,
this is a bobsled.
Sort of.

All right, here's what
we're gonna do. Yul...

Don't touch me.

Of course. Sorry.

You're gonna be
the second middleman.

You're strong, you're fast,
and you're gonna
love that seat.

Junior,
you're the first middleman.

You're quick.
You're sharp. Hop in.

Sanka.
I know,
I'm the driver, right?

No, you're the brakeman.

No, no, I'm the driver.

No, you're not.
You're the brakeman.

I'm the driver.

You're not.
You're the brakeman.

You don't understand.
I am Sanka Coffie.

I'm the best pushcart driver
in all of Jamaica.

I must drive.
Do you dig where
I'm coming from?

Yeah, I dig where
you're coming from.
Good.

Now, dig where I'm coming from.

I'm coming from two gold medals.

I'm coming from
nine world records

in both the two
and four-man events.

I'm coming from 10 years
of intense competition

with the best
athletes in the world.

That's a hell of a place
to be coming from.

You see, Sanka,
the driver has to work
harder than anyone.

He's the first to show up
and the last to leave.

When his team mates are all
out drinking beer,

he's up in his room,
studying pictures of turns.

You see,
a driver must remain focused
100% at all times.

Not only is he
responsible for knowing

every inch of
every course he races,

he's also
responsible for the lives

of the other three
people in his sled.

Now, do you want
that responsibility?

I say we make Derice the driver.

So do I, Sanka. So do I.

Ooh, the back is nice.

All right,
Father, listen here.
You see, I've made up my mind.

I am going to be a bobsledder.

That's right. A bobsledder.

Oh, really?
Well, I'm sorry
you feel that way.

Fine, cut off my allowance.

Because you see, Father,

a man has got to do
what a man has got to do.

Just who I wanted to see.

Me?

You know where I just came from?

Where?

I got you a job.

With Webster, Webster and Cohen,

the biggest
brokerage house in Miami.

Oh, right.
Webster, Webster and Cohen.

That's right.
And you start
end of the month.

Yes, but I thought that...

Look. We went along
with this track
nonsense long enough.

And we agreed that
it's time to get on
with your real future. Right?

I know.
Right?

Yes, sir.

Good.

I'm gonna tell your mother.

I guess we sure told him.

Winning a bobsled race
is about one thing,
the push start.

Now, I know you
dainty little track stars
think you're fast.

Well, let's see how fast you are

when you push a 600-pound sled.

Now, a respectable
start time is 5.7 seconds.

If you speed
demons can't whip off
an even six flat,

then you have a better
chance of becoming
a barbershop quartet.

Derice, come on. Hey.
Junior, get in. Never mind.

Get up and
pull it back. Let's go.

Go, go, go!

14.3. No good.

13.5.

11.7.

This is what it's all about.

This is where you
win or lose the race.

Right here in the push start.

This is where
you're gonna practise,

right here,
right here in a Volkswagen.

You're gonna practise.
No! Junior, quit slowing down.

Come on, hustle.
Catch up to them.
There you go.

No! Do it again.

Stop, stop, Derice.
Stop! Wait! Wait for me!

Brake!
Ain't in. Stop. Slow down.

Great.
Very good. Try it again.

If I've said it once,
I've said it 46 times,

cold weather endurance is vital

to building
a successful sled team.

Cold enough?

One, two, three.

Slow down! Slow!

Sanka, hit the brakes!

Hit the brakes, man!
I can't! It's stuck!

Hold on!

WO Look out!

Sanka, you dead?

Yeah, man.

OFFICER 1: What have you
done to the police unit?
I should arrest you.

OFFICER 2:
Who owns this thing?

We do, sir.

And who are you?

The Jamaican bobsled team, sir.

Don't give me that business.
I wasn't born yesterday.

5.9! 5.9!
You did it! You did it!

5.9! We did it!
We did it! 5.9!

Get out of the way.
Get out of the way.
5.9, guys.

What?
Who are you?

I'm their coach.
You guys okay?

Yeah, man.
How's the sled?

Yeah, man, we're fine.

Sled's okay?

Well, it's in the wrong place.
Get it back to
the top of the hill.

Let's move it right now,
you slackers.

Move it!
Let's hustle! Come on!

Let's move it!
Lord, have mercy.

Come on, you guys!
Move it!

I'm not asking for
a winter sports programme.

All I need is a lousy
20 grand so I can get us
to the Olympics.

That's all.

How in God's
name are you gonna
get to the Olympics?

These boys have
never even seen
a sled race before.

Mr Coolidge, I have been looking

at sledders since
I was 12 years old.

If I say these
kids can make it
to the Olympics,

they can make it
to the Olympics.

Okay. Well,
I'll tell you what we'll do.

Practise down here
with the boys a bit more

and when you're
a little further along,
I'll come along and see you...

No. No. No.

Now, just a minute, Mr Blitzer.

This country enjoys
a fine athletic tradition.

And if you think
I'm gonna give you
the little money we have

so that you can parade us around

in front of
the world like a freak show,

you've got another thing coming.

It's bad enough
how you embarrassed
your own country.

I'm certainly
not gonna allow you
to embarrass ours.

No go, kid.

That's okay, Coach.
We'll get the money.

Do the words "give up"
mean anything to you?

Not a thing.

Hi, I'm here to
offer you an opportunity
of a lifetime.

We're looking for
a sponsor for the first
Jamaican bobsled team.

Oh!

I'll pay you
a dollar to shut up.

We got $9.52 from
Yul Brenner. Thank you.

We got $184 from Derice and me.

Sanka, how did your singing
on the street go?

How did it go?
It went like this.

Sanka, we know.

How much?

I made $1.16.

Oh, that's great.

We're only short
about 19 thousand bucks.

Sorry I'm late, everybody.

No, really.
That is terrific.

You can unpack
your suitcase, Junior.
We're not going.

That's too bad.

Where'd you get it, man?

I sold my car.

Yes, man. I am going!

No, we're not.

Look here, Junior.
I appreciate what
you're trying to do here.

But we can't
accept this money.
It just wouldn't be proper.

Derice, if I hadn't
tripped you fellows,

we'd already been going
to the Olympics.

I want you to have it.

You mean you want
us to have it, right?

Right. Us.

Thanks a lot, Junior.
Thanks a whole heap, man.

Remember, this doesn't
mean that I like you.
You understand?

JOY: Be sure to
thank your father for us,

'cause Lord
knows he didn't have
to let you sell that car.

Well, he doesn't
know I sold the car.

Um...

He doesn't know I'm on the team.

He thinks I'm off to Miami,
and I loaned
the car to a friend

to work for Webster,
Webster and Cohen,
some place like that.

This is it.

We hope you all enjoy your stay.

Sanka, man, what you smoking?

I'm not smoking.
I'm breathing.

All right, fellows,
this is us. Let's go.

Come on. Let's go.

Me first.

What's the matter?
You guys cold?

It's not so much the heat,
it's the humidity
that'll kill you.

Excuse me, do you
know where I can
register to bobsled?

Do you know where
you register for bobsled?

See you.

I'll see you around.

Hey, Mike.
Good to see you again.
Take care.

All the best.
Okay.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'd like to
register for the tryouts.

What country?

Jamaica.

What country?

Jamaica.

Well, what do you know?
Jamaican bobsled team.

Okay. Here it is.

Says here your
qualifying run will

be held on
the evening of the 10th.

Your judges will be Shindler,
Gremmer and Kroychzech.

I know Kroychzech.
He's a good guy.

Yeah. In order to qualify,
you must complete
the course safely

in one minute two seconds
flat or under.

Used to be a minute-five.

Yeah. Times change.

Irv, is that you?

Roger, how you doing?

Hello, Kurt.
Been a long time.

Obviously not long enough.
Hello, Larry.

Jesus Christ, Irv.
What the hell did
you do to yourself?

Don't worry about them, Irv.

Roger,
you got to do me a favour.
What?

Please. You know
that revolving
restaurant thing?

Yeah.
Meet me there
in half an hour.

Half an hour?
Yeah. Please.

LARRY: Roger! Come on!

ROGER: I'll try.

Thanks, Roger.

Yeah, well. What's up, Irv?

How about a drink?
No, I'm fine.

What's so important
that it couldn't wait?

You want something to eat?
No, I'm fine. What's up?

A nice salad or something?
Irv!

I need a sled.

You came all
the way to Calgary
without a sled?

I got $4,800.
I just need
something competitive.

For 5 grand?

I know you got
something lying around, Roger.

But, Irv...
Anything.

You know I can't do that.

Wait a minute, Roger.

Remember when
you were desperate
to make that last slot

on the '68 Grenoble team?

And you pleaded with me
to talk to Kurt?

Did I say, "Sorry,
Roger, I can't do it"?

Come on,
don't make me beg.
Roger, it's me.

All right.
Maybe I can get you
one of our practice sleds.

You're a saint.
You know that? A saint.

You haven't changed a bit.
You're still a saint.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look, don't get all
mushy on me.

Just tell me one thing.
Is this whole
thing a big joke?

Or do you really expect
these Jamaicans to qualify?

Not only are they gonna qualify,

they're gonna turn
some heads doing it.

Listen,
three of these guys can run
the 100 in under 10 flat.

I don't care who you are,
that's lightning.

Yeah. But can
lightning run on ice?

No problem, man.

Irv! These special shoes
aren't really effective.

Grip with your toes.

All right,
you sugar-coated track stars.

Move out and let the ice Rasta
show you how it's done.

Yeah, like that. Yeah. Good.

Hey, fellows.
Look at my progress.

Stop touching me.

All right, fellows,
that's it. Let's get off
the ice before practice.

What practice?

That practice.

That's right.

Good team this year.

Nice.

Bobsleds.

Oh, my. You should
see this on the hill.
It's like a miracle.

What's "Schweiz"?

No, man, Swiss.

The real thing, man.

Gentlemen,

I'd like to introduce
you to the newest
member of our team.

Uh...

You won't believe
what I had to go through

to get us a sled
in such good shape.

If we're gonna make it
into the Olympics,

this is the boat
that's gonna take us there.

Well, like I'm told,
she's actually quite fast.

I know she's not
much to look at, but...

She's beautiful.

All coaches must sign

teams in before
approaching bob run.

Here we go.

Let's go. Here we go.

Hold on.

All right, come on.

Grab a hold.
Here we go.

Oh.

This is good.

This is it.
Everybody climb in.

Hold up. I don't understand.
We're not gonna push start?

No, we're gonna
push start next time.

For your first run,
I'm just gonna

nudge you off.
Okay, everybody in.

Let's go. Let's go.
Come on. Come on.

Don't touch me.

Hey, baldy,
get off my foot.
Don't touch me.

Here we go. Come on.

Hey, Blitzer.

Why don't you put
some training wheels
on that sled?

That's funny. Very funny.

You want to kiss my egg?

I'm not kissing no egg.

Suit yourself.

Now, listen up, fellows.
I don't want you

to worry about
looking good out there.

Blitzy, you're going
to tuck them in, too?

Hey. Seeming to you
like nobody likes us?

We're different.
People are always
afraid of what's different.

Hey, Jamaica! Watch out
for number 12 turn.
It's scary, ja?

What's his problem?

He's Josef Grool.

He's one of the best drivers
in the world.

Yeah, he's one of
the biggest assholes
in the world, too.

Well,
don't listen to him.
You listen to me.

Derice.
Right here. You got it?

Remember,
keep your hands soft
and your mind clear.

High in, low out.
What is it?

High in, low out.

All right,
put your helmets on,
everybody. Let's go.

Here we go.
Come on. Helmets on.

Hey, Coach?
Yeah?

I can't get my helmet on.

Thanks, Coach.

That's what I'm here for.

Coach?
Yeah?

I got to go, you know.

Hold it.
Hold it?

Yeah, hold it.

But, Coach, I can't hold it.

We're not bobsledding yet.

Oh, yes, we are.

Coach! Coach!

Coach! Coach!

On the track.

Coach!

Slow down!
Slow it down!

Slow down!
Slow it down! Oh, my God!

Oh, Derice!
Oh, Derice! I hate you!
I hate you! I hate you!

Whoa!

Sanka, you're dead?

Yeah, man.

Well, you can pee now.

Um... Too late.

This is embarrassing.

Man, shut down
that hot plate, fool.

Those bananas are stinking
like a dead dog.

Back off!
Back off, you eight ball.

This is my mama's secret recipe.

And I hope you
don't mind keeping

quiet while I
catch up on my reading.

What are you
talking about, reading?
This is a children's book.

Oh, is that so?

Yes, that's so.

Well,
if that's a children's book,

that means it's too advanced
for the likes of you.

What are you trying to say?
That I'm not smarter
than a little child?

No. What I am saying to you

is that you are
the kind of club-toting,
raw meat-eating,

me Tarzan,
you Jane-ing, big, bald,

bubblehead that
can only count to 10

if he's barefoot
or wearing sandals.

Say whatever it
is that you want.

Because you're just
like every other
fool on the island.

You're going nowhere, Sanka,
and you're thrilled
to death about it.

But you see me?
You see me?

I'm different.

'Cause I know
exactly where I'm going.

And after I, Yul Brenner,
win the Olympics
and become famous,

I'm gonna leave the island

and live right down there.

What are you laughing about?

What are you laughing about?

That's Buckingham Palace.

You plan on living there,
you're gonna have
to marry the Queen.

Yul, that's where
the Queen of England lives.

Face it, Yul Brenner,

you can start
calling yourself Madonna,

but you're still
gonna end up
in an outhouse shanty

like every other
dock-working nobody.

Says who?

Says me, rich boy.
What do you know about it?

Well, I know
my father started off
in a one-room hut.

Now, he lives in
one of the biggest
homes in Kingston.

Well, he ain't your father.

He doesn't have to be.

All he has to do is
know what he wants
and work hard for it.

And if he
wants it bad enough,
he'll get it.

Look. Believe me, Sanka,

the more Yul Brenners we got
making it in this world,

the better off
this world would be.

Especially for Jamaicans.

Go ahead, Yul Brenner.

You go get your palace.

Move, move!

On the track.

What do you have
in there, a baby?

I can't believe
you're still cold, man.

Cold?

I'm freezing my royal,
Rastafarian nay-nays off!

All right, we're up.
Let's go, guys.
This is it.

Give me that thing.

Okay.

Now, this is our
first real push start,

but don't worry about it, okay?

It's no different
than what we practised.

We've done it a hundred times.
Derice, right here.

Okay, get your helmets on.

Coach?

Okay, okay.
Thanks, Coach.

All right.
Let's go, Derice.
It's yours.

Ridiculous. What's he doing?

One,

two,

three.

Go, go, go, now!

Hold on!
Wait! Hold on.

Now, now!

Now!

Those guys are
pretty good, aren't they?

Good? They're the best.

So, you guys been having
a little trouble
out there, huh?

We'll be fine.

I sure hope so.

It'd be a real shame
to waste all that talent.

I'm not worried.
And we have a good coach.

Kid, I hate to say it,
but you got to wake up.

Coach Blitzer's
what's killing you.

He's been useless
since the day he was busted.

What you mean "busted"?

The '72 Games.

The guy hid weights
in the front of the sled
to make it go faster.

So what? It's no big deal.

Having your gold medals
taken away for cheating
is a big deal.

Derice, let's go.
We got a meeting.

Giving my kid
a few pointers, Larry?

Your kid's gonna
need all the help
he can get.

Coach.

Maid service, sir.

Would you like
your bed turned down?
Mint?

Perhaps I could dust your head.

Whatever's wrong with you
is no little thing.

Hurry up, man.

I have a dead grandmother
that moves faster than you.

Wait, wait.

What that fool want now?

What?

Sorry.

What do you have there, man?
A telegram.

I know it's a telegram.
What's it say?

From my father.

He says I have to
come home right now.

Hi.

Howdy, partner.

You've worked too
hard and too long.

And let me tell
you something else,
Junior Bevil.

If it wasn't for you,
we wouldn't be here right now.

Wait.
But you don't understand.

He is really mad.

I mean,
you don't know him
like I do, you know.

I think I better
just do what he wants

and go back home.

And forget about
your team mates?

Blood fire.

The man, you act like
he's the king of
the whole world.

What should I do?
What should I do?

Hey, Jamaica! Keep it down.
You are not owning this place.

Sorry, sir, sorry.
I didn't mean
to bother anyone.

You have no business
here, Jamaica.

You and your stupid friend,
playing like you
are bobsledders.

Why don't you tourists
go back to where it is
you came from

and leave the bobsledding
to the real men?

Well, I'm a real man.

You want to
say something, Jamaica?
Come on, out with it.

Come here, man.
Come. Right now.

Now, look in the mirror
and tell me what you see.

I see Junior.

You see Junior.

Well, you want to
know what I see?

I see pride.

I see power!

I see a badass mother
who don't take
no crap of nobody!

You really see all that?

Yeah, man.

But it's not about what I see.

It's about what you see.

Now, look in this mirror
and tell me again
what you see.

I see...

Pride!

Pride. Right.

Power!
Power.

I see a badass mother...
A badass mother

who don't take no...
who won't take no crap...

off of nobody!
Again.

I see pride!
I can't hear you.

I see power!

I see a badass mother
who won't take no
crap off of nobody!

Once again!
I see pride!

Junior!
I see power!

I see a badass mother
who won't take no
crap off of nobody!

That's right!

That's right! Junior Bevil!

Where... Where's he going?

Pride. Power. Pride.

Now, you listen to me, buddy.
I will not be
talked to that way,

so you better come up with
a damn good apology or else.

Or else what?

Ow!

Eh, Jamaica? Or else what?

Come on, Jamaica.
Say something.

No problem, man.

Excuse me, missy.

I can't believe this.

I just can't believe this.

Didn't one of
you have the sense
to know better? Go on, laugh.

I want to
see who's laughing
when Irv gets here.

Now, wait. Wait.

When that East German
fellow go out and push
my team mate,

and, blood fire,
we have to fight back.

You don't see
the Swiss team fighting,
do you?

You don't see
the Swiss team drinking
and carrying on and such.

And you don't
see the Swiss team
smiling, neither.

In fact,
if one of those Swiss boys

ever come across a pretty girl,

he probably yell,
"Ein, zwei, drei,"

and try to push
her down some ice.

What happened?

I took care of the whole thing.

I told the owner of the bar
these guys were
mentally disturbed,

so he's not gonna
press any charges.

All right.

Sled god does it again.

Just shut up, Sanka.

Now maybe you haven't noticed,

but we aren't exactly winning
any popularity contests here.

They hate me.
They hate you.
They hate us.

Now, if we're
even gonna think
about qualifying,

we're each gonna
have to sit down

and take a nice,
deep look inside.

I didn't come all this way
to get my butt whipped.

As a matter of fact,
now that I'm here,

I thought I'd do
a little whipping of my own.

Good night, gentlemen.

Rise and shine!

It's butt-whipping time!

Not bad.
Pick it up, though, huh?

Come on!
Come on! Come on!
Now, now, now!

Good.

That's it.

Five more.
Come on, five more.

Push it. Push it. Come on.

That's it.
That's it. That's it.

Good. Good.
Cool it. You're doing fine.
You got any more?

Come on. Come on. Get in!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

That's it!
You got to grip
with your toes.

Go! Go! Now! Now!

All right!

You know you're
gonna have to do this
on your own one day.

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Now! Now! Now! Now! Now!

Straight.
Turn six.

Right.
Turn seven.

Straight.
Turn eight.

Right.

Yes! That's it! That's it!

Okay, guys.
Tonight's the night.

Now, in a few minutes,
you're gonna
get a chance to do something

that no one in your country
has ever done.

I was gonna save
this for the Olympics,

but I figure if we're going
to convince these judges

that we are
world-class sledders,

then we had better look
like world-class sledders.

Oh, man. Yes.

Yeah, man.

Nice.

I freeze in this.

On the track.

Hello, gentlemen.

Irv, this is Karl Shindler.
He'll be watching
the middle track.

How do you do?

And this is August Gremmer.

He'll be judging
the push starts.

Hi.

I'm your
third official
up in the tower.

You?

What happened to Kroychzech?

He came down sick this morning.

I'm taking his place.

Oh, goody.

Oh! The Alliance has
decided to change
the qualifying time

from a minute-two
to a minute flat.
Is that clear?

No problem, man.

Go get them, kid.

Track is clear for Jamaica One.

Go! Go! Go! Now! Now! Now!

All right, what was that time?

6.13.

Under 60?
Is that under 60?

59.46.

I'm... I'm sorry.
I'm out of here.

That's terrific.

They couldn't beat us.
I know we were the best.

No, the brakes were the best.

It inspired you guys.
That's all.

You were great.
All of you.

Nobody had
that much fun in a sled
since Santa Claus.

Fellows, here's to
following your dreams.

Yeah, man.
Follow your dreams.

Follow your dreams.

I said it to your
father the first time

I met him,
and I'll say it again.

Sprinters make
the best bobsledders.

Here's to sprinting!

So, what are we
gonna name the sled?

How about "Tallulah"?

That's our boy. "Tallulah."

"Tallulah." "Tallulah."

Sounds like a 2-dollar hooker.

How you come up with that?

For real.

That's my mother's name.

And it's a very pretty name.

A nice name. Yeah.

So what's it gonna be, star?

What are the people
gonna be screaming

when Jamaica takes the hill?

I say we call it Cool Runnings.

Beautiful.
I like it.

Very strong.

Nice. Very nice.

What exactly does it mean?

Cool runnings means
"Peace be the journey."

Peace be the journey.

Cool Runnings!
Cool Runnings!

Cool Runnings!

Excuse me.
To the man
in the orange suit!

To the messenger!

We are officially disqualified.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Kurt, I really
have to talk to you.

Excuse me, Irv.

I've nothing to say to you.

Yes, you do.

I want to know why
you disqualified my guys.

As you were told, your team must

compete in an international race

in order to qualify
for the Olympics.

But in an Olympic year,
the qualifiers

count as an international race.

That may have been true
in past Olympic years,

but this year
the Alliance decided
to change its policy.

Oh, please.
Change its policy?

The Alliance has
the right to do
whatever they feel is

in the best
interest of the sport.

We must also be concerned about

the potential for embarrassment.

Oh! Forgive me.

I didn't realise
that four black guys

in a bobsled
could make you blush.

SHINDLER: I think
we've heard enough.

Come on, Kurt.

What you're doing is wrong,
and you know it.

Now, if this is
about you and me,

then let's get it
straight right now.

All right, 16 years ago,
I made the biggest
mistake of my life.

I cheated.

I was stupid.

I embarrassed myself,

my family, my team mates,
my country and my coach.

If it's revenge
you want, take it.

Go ahead.
Disqualify me. Banish me.

Do whatever you want,
but do it to me.

It was me who
let you down, Kurt.
It wasn't my guys.

They've done everything
you've asked of them.

And they did it
with all of you
laughing in their face.

Hell, it doesn't matter
if they come in first or 50th.

Those guys have
earned the right
to represent their country.

They've earned the right

to march into that stadium
and wave their nation's flag.

That's the
single greatest honour
an athlete could ever have.

That's what
the Olympics are about.

Sixteen years ago,
I forgot that.

Don't you go and do the same.

I'm sorry if I
interrupted your meeting.

Hello?

Yes.

Yeah.

Right. Goodbye.

What?

It's the Alliance. God.

What did they say?

They said we're back in.

Did I miss it?
Did I miss it?

No, child,
you didn't miss a thing.

Of Jamaica made it
all the way here to Calgary

to compete in the bobsled event.

Their flag bearer
is the sled captain,
Derice Bannock.

Derice's father, Ben Bannock,
was the gold medallist

in the 200 metres at the Summer

Olympic Games over 20 years ago.

And perhaps there's gold
in two generations
of this family.

That's quite a story.
The Jamaican bobsled team.

It's a beautiful
afternoon in Calgary,

and there's
a lot more coming up.

So stay tuned
for more exciting coverage

of the opening ceremonies
of the 15th Winter Olympiad

from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Gentlemen,
let's go check into
our new home.

Come on, Junior.

Junior. Hey!

Junior.

Now, a lot of coaches
would be giving
you one of those

"Win one for
the Gipper" speeches.

I'm not good at that stuff.

Instead,
I thought I'd lead you
in a psalm of inspiration.

Let's bow our heads.

Who's the Gipper?

Our Father, who art in Calgary,

bobsled be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come,
gold medals won

on Earth as it is in turn seven.

With liberty and
justice for Jamaica
and Haile Selassie.

Amen.
Amen.

All right.
Yes.

Respect.
All right.

Big up, Jamaica. Big it up.

Yes.

All right.

Junior?

Now, you listen to me, boy.

You might not have done
what you were asked,

but you will do
what you're told.

You're coming home.

Yeah, but,
Father, you know I just...

But nothing.

I didn't send you
to the finest school

for you to go around
sliding on your backside.

You must be mad.

Yeah, but the team needs me.

I don't want to
hear any more about it.

Go and get your things.

I'll wait in the lobby.

Pride. Power.

Father,

when you look at me,
what do you see?

I don't have time
for games, Junior.

Tell me what you see. Please.

All right,
I'll tell you what I see.

I see a lost little boy,

who's lucky to have
a father who knows
what's best for him.

No. No. No, no,
you don't know what's
best for me, Father.

I am not a lost
little boy, Father.

I am a man.

And I'm an Olympian.

And I'm staying right here.

Hey, Junior Bevil.

You're a badass mother.

Here. I got a couple.

I like this one.

O Canada, indeed.

This is Al Trautwig
along with John Morgan.

We're live at Olympic Park,
the brand-new
bobsledding venue

just a few miles outside
of downtown Calgary.

Everybody shut up.
It's starting.

For an extremely
intense, exciting

competition for
the next three days.

I am feeling
very Olympic today,
how about you?

Now, this sport,
as we well know,
is made up of athletes

who go to the edge
and sometimes beyond,

and it is why we believe
the next three days

is going to be extremely
competitive and exciting.

And already,
John, on day one,
we're starting things off

with the gold medal favourite.

Well, the Swiss
were fortunate enough

to draw number one
in the competition.

We got to make them
the odds-on favorite
to win the gold.

But the East Germans,
they're coming

off the gold medal win in 1984.

The Canadians,
it's their home track.
You got to favour them, too.

And they've been
doing very well
in practice all week.

One, two, three, go.

Eighty miles an hour
or close to it.

You know, Al,
I'm looking at
the times here,

and the course is
getting extremely fast,

and I was worried
about that
Austrian team's safety

in that last big
180 degree whip-around

that draws
four G's of force
on the athletes.

Well, if you were
worried about them,

what are you thinking
about our last and next team?

Yes, it certainly
seems strange that,
surrounded by the ice

and snow of Calgary,
we are about to watch a team

from the tiny island of Jamaica.

WO Yeah, from Jamaica!

Quite a story
for them to even get here.
They came out of nowhere.

And, you know,
there's a lot of teams
up here on top of the hill

that sort of feel
the Jamaicans
don't belong here.

What are you doing, man?

What are you doing?

That's what the Swiss
do to psych themselves up.

They also make them
little pocket-knives, too,

but I don't see you doing that.

All right, guys,
we're up. Come on.
Hey, knock it off.

Knock it off, will you?

Okay, let's go. Come on.

Get in your start positions.

Remember, we don't have
to win the gold
on the first day.

It's just like any other run.

Except this time,
100 million people watching.

Derice,
did you forget something?
Thank you.

Ready.
Ready.

Ready.
Ready.

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

On the track.

Get in! Get in!

The Jamaican team
attempts its first ever
Winter Olympic event.

And look at this.
They've got to
get into that sled.

I've never seen
anything like this.
I know it's not funny

but how embarrassing.
Well, thank goodness.

For a minute, I didn't
think they'd ever get
all four of them in.

And that could've
been a disaster.

Well,
most importantly here,
when you do get in the sled,

you have to get in
with cat-like movements.

You need to get relaxed.

Look at that high line at Omega.

He bounces off the wall.
Ricochets like a pinball.

You know, the driver here,
Derice Bannock,

looks like the sled's
really driving him.

That fool better
watch his mouth.

He better watch more than that!

This is the time
when this team
may be thinking,

"This may not have been
such a great idea."

Their heads are
bouncing around.
This is amazing.

Like rag dolls
as they come
through the finish

at a time of 58.04,

which will be good enough
for last place.

You choked.

It was
yours for the taking
and you choked.

You were ready and you choked.

Well, maybe we should
go over the turns again?

You know the turns.

You know everything there is
to know about this sport.

I'll tell you something.

You had all better figure out
how to stay loose out there.

That's something
I can't help you with.

I'll see you
tomorrow on the hill.

You know, when the Swiss
want to get relaxed, man...

Will you shut up
about the damn Swiss?

I mean, it was all that
ein, zwei, drei, nonsense

that got us all
nervous in the first place.

Hey, man, look here.

I'm just trying
to get us off
on the right foot.

Well, the right foot for us
is not the Swiss foot.

I mean, come on, Derice.

We can't be copying
nobody else's style.

We have our own style.

Kissing an egg is
no kind of style.

It's the Olympics here.
It's no stupid pushcart derby.

Let me tell you
something, Rasta.

I didn't come up here to forget

who I am and where I come from.

And neither did I.

I'm just trying to
be the best I can be.

So am I.

And the best I can be
is Jamaican.

Look.

Derice, I've known you since

Julie Jefferies asked
to see your ding-a-ling.

And I'm telling you as a friend,

if we look Jamaican,
walk Jamaican,

talk Jamaican, and is Jamaican,

then we sure as hell
better bobsled Jamaican.

Greetings from Jamaica!

All right,
gentlemen, this is it.

Respect.

All right.
Let's go.

We now come to the second chance

for the four
intrepid men from Jamaica.

What do they have to do, John?

In reality, Al,
I don't think the Jamaicans

have any chance
of winning a medal.

Dear God, just let it be
better than yesterday.

Ready?
Ready.

Feel the rhythm.
Feel the rhyme.

Get on up. It's bobsled time!

Cool Runnings!

Down the track.

That's a hair faster
than the Swiss.

Boy, that's a real big
difference from yesterday.

Well,
this is an absolute shock
in the making.

Yesterday,
they were falling down
almost at the start.

Now they slide in smoothly.

Yesterday their heads were
bobbing everywhere.

Today they're almost in unison.

Can this really be happening?

What a difference.

Flying through the Omega,
looking possessed here.

It's not the same team
we saw yesterday.

Where did these guys come from?

Jamaica!

Wow! 56.53!

Yes! Yes!

Did you hear that time? Yes!

That moves them up
into eighth place.

Watch out, world,
the Jamaicans are coming.

Derice, you in here?

Hey, Coach.

There you are.

How you feeling?
All right.

Good.
Good. You all set to follow
in your father's footsteps?

I think so.

You think so?

All right. I know so.

That's more like it.
We're gonna go

grab a bite to eat.
You want to join us?

No.
I didn't think so.

I'll pick you something up.

Hey, Coach.
Yeah.

I have to
ask you a question.
Sure.

But you don't have to answer
if you don't want to.

I mean I want you to,

but if you can't, I understand.

You want to know
why I cheated, right?

Yes, I do.

That's a fair question.

It's quite simple, really.

I had to win.

You see, Derice,

I'd made winning my whole life,

and when you make winning
your whole life,

you have to
keep on winning,
no matter what.

You understand that?

No, I don't understand, Coach.

You had two gold medals.
You had it all.

Derice,

a gold medal is
a wonderful thing.

But if you're not
enough without it,

you'll never be enough with it.

Hey, Coach?

How will I know if I'm enough?

When you cross
that finish line,
you'll know.

Welcome back to
the bobsledding
venue for this,

the last day of competition.
It's medal time,

and, John, the top six teams
are separated by
only half a second

so it's very close.
And that's been predictable...

I didn't expect to see you here.

Well,
my dear, we've got a team
in the Olympics, don't we?

What's astonishing
is the Jamaicans.

They still have
a chance to win
an Olympic medal.

Everybody shut up!
My boy's on TV.

And you're not the only one
to get excited about that.

I think the fans here
have an extreme case
of Jamaican fever.

Al, so do I.

No, no, no, no. So do we.

Do I have to tell you
whose turn it is now?

Jamaica...
Respect!

Hey, dreadlocks.
Let me kiss your lucky egg.

Next team up is Jamaica.

All right, fellows,
that's us! Let's go!
Here we go! Today's our day!

This is it!
Come on, guys,
we can do it!

Derice!

I'll see you at the finish line.

With the kinds of push starts...

All right, it's all yours!
Let's go!

These guys are capable of,

we might actually
see the Jamaicans

win an Olympic medal.
So this is it.

We could see
history in the making.

Feel the rhythm.
Feel the rhyme.

Get on up. It's bobsled time!

Cool Runnings!

Move! Go! Go! Go!
Move that bobsled! Go!

One, two,
three, four, all of them in
and look at them fly.

Man, they shaved
another couple
100ths off the start...

Al, they get better
every time down the track.

Move, Derice! Move!
Take that... Yes! Move!

Look at the way
the sled's coming in

and out of the corners.
Very smooth.

It's like
he's been driving
the sled for 10 years.

Bannock looks
really possessed here.

Al, what the heck. Go, Jams!

What a run Bannock is having.

He's letting loose on
this extremely fast course.

And even with that
rickety old sled,

the Jamaicans are flying
through the turns.

This does not look good.
Something's got to be wrong.

The Jamaicans on a record pace,

as they fly almost out of
control around the turn.

Now the speed seems too much,

and I don't think
he's going to be
able to hold it.

Oh!

Derice, you dead?

No, man. I'm not dead.

We have to finish the race.

Excuse me, please.

Excuse me.

Sehr gut, Jamaica.

We'll see you in four years, ja?

Yeah, man.

Junior Bevil.
But it doesn't
mean that I like you.

Respect.

Thanks, Irv.
Thank you.

All right.

Hey, guys!
I'm so proud of you guys!
Coach? Coach?

You all right?
I'm not so bad.

Can I get a picture please?
