Cool Runnings

Cool Runnings was the best movie! It was really cool! I
thought it was funny when Doug E. Doug kept wanting people
to kiss his lucky egg. He was the best!! ^ ^

This Is One Of The Best Films I Have Seen. I Think Sanka Is
Amazing, And I Would Really Like To Meet Doug E Doug, And
Now I Really Would Like To Go To Jamaca, And Kiss His Lucky
Egg.
Does Anyone Know How I Can Get Doug E Doug's Autograph?

Another clean fun movie. John Candy is hilarious just as
other movies he did. I met him on the set in Calgary while
being a stand in for the German Sledder, Gruel. Not to be
biased but it ranks as one of the best. I can't believe
that it has been 7 years already.

I LOVED it. I liked the part when Sanka could'nt put on his
helmet,and so coach bopped the top of his head!!! I also
liked the part when Daurice first came up with the idea of
the Jamican Bobsled Team, and he went to go meet his future
coach and annoyed him so much the coach was about to hit
them with the pool stick like the same thing he did with
the radio and they ran like the living heck!!!^_^

It was great!!! I watched it 3 times now. However I wonder:
Is it really a true story?

John Candy delivered the goods and truly is a promising
star. I really believe that this was the best movie ever.
Daurice was a classic role and although Sanka was low class
he was rugged. It was awesome. Top notch film. Saurbran
is a genius.

We bought this movie several years ago,every time I watch
it I cry at the end when they carry the sled across the
finish line. My daughter has just returned from a workcamp
to Maranatha School for the Deaf in Jamaica, on an evening
when they were allowd to ask questions about the culture
her questions were all reguarding the Jamican bobsled team!
And pictures of push carts are among her photo album!
Without knowing it this team has inspiried many people from
many countries to reach for their goals by being themselves
and following their dreams!

WOW! Watching this movie brings back so many memories!! I
had the lucky pleasure of meeting, partying, and hanging
out with 2 of these guys AFTER the 88 Olympics. They were
back in Calgary in 1990, training at C.O.P. and would, (on
occasion) come into DOOIE STEVENS Nightclub. They were a
BLAST!! Now, they never really drank, because they were in
training... but there was one night that i remember...
SOCIABLE MAAN!!
