'Caddyshack II' is beyond any shadow of a doubt THE worst sequel of ALL TIME!!! :vom:
With some pretty stiff competition such as...
1.) Blues Brothers 2000
2.) Escape from L.A.
3.) Return of the Living Dead 2
It still sucked tenfold compared to the above! :toimonster:
GO THE GROWL!!!

For the older ones on here, don't know if you remember this one but I really liked Rollerball, James Caan, circa 197(something).


Yeah, it was a futuristic send up of ? Think it was caller roller derby, where two teams used to skate around on atrack and you got a point for every opposite team player you got passed without being knocked on your ar5e. Quite a violient sport at the time. Remember watching it when I lived in Oz in during the 60's - 70's. Always had a ggod guys team and a bad guys team. Don't know if anyone else can remember it.

'The World's Fastest Indian' (Coach) would have to be Greg Chappell getting the Hell outa Dodge

About a footballer from the Chicago Bears in the 60's who battled Cancer, think a lot of the material was taken from fellow Bear Gail Sayers book 'Always 3rd'

LMAO. A pale rip off of the The Hustler starring Paul Newman acting as Paul Newman and Tom Cruise playing yet another 'hot shot'. I'd suggest you might be the one who needs to start living if you rate this cookie cutter garbage. 8)

I can't believe it....trawled through this thread twice and no mention of Raging Bull - Robert DeNiro plays Jake La Motta world champion!
Brilliant film.

Also Fever Pitch - now that's what following your team's all about!

And there's a Canadian series of movies called The Boys about a team of blokes that play ice hockey together. Very funny.
