I'm here from Cool Runnings checking the final run to see if original footage was used and it looks like a yes, "For sure Jamaica!" as one team might say. 👍👍🏿👍👍🏿 ya man GO JAMAICA ❗❗❗
When the movie "Cool Runnings" says it was inspired by a true story, they mean this crash. That's pretty much the only thing from the movie that actually happened in real life.
There are a few other similarities, the team was disqualified temporarily on technicalities but several appeals made the committee overturn their decision. Their coach also was a U.S. Olympic team member but he had no medals and there was no cheating scandal associated with him. The real thing is actually much better as far as sportsmanship. Many nations helped them out providing spare equipment they could and showing the Olympic spirit. While they were underdogs they were cheered on by their fellow competitors rather than shunned and ridiculed as depicted.
@@lancefried3577 They also did not have a bobsled when they arrived in Calgary. I saw a new station interview with three of the original members. The fourth wasn't there for the interview because he was coaching the Jamaican women's bobsled debut team.
There were more wipeouts by skiers and crashes on the bob sled run than I have ever seen at an olympics and I am in my sixties. Calgary was one wicked place that year.
So.. they did not carry the sled across the finish line by themselves.... My childhood is a lie. I'm glad I only cried the first 6 times I watched that scene.
Well they miracoulously survived a horrific crash which might have caused at least one of them to break his neck and walked down the rest of the track like true champs. If this is not an awesome ending of a movie you ain´t got no heart.
The last scene wasn't accurate.but the bar scene was!!!! Trust me I was there and it was crazy AF! I still have a Stenson hat from that night and still don't know how I ended up with it 🤷
Their country had no history of winter sports, the team had barely managed to get practice before the event, and a result, one of the greatest and most tragic olympic stories was born
Most of the movie didn't happen in real life. They crashed before the finals, the team weren't sprinters etc. They were soldiers from the Jamaican military who were just following orders. In real life they were also welcomed by the other teams.
@@garethstroud5586 ya that's what Hollywood does. Who cares. The real know what really happened but every real life movie has changes made to it not just Disney. If you want real gotta check 30 for 30 on espn
I nearly cried watching this. It looked absolutely terrible. They could have easily been killed, on camera, in front of millions watching! It’s a miracle no one died or was seriously injured, like being paralyzed. For real. I can’t imagine going through that...and just getting up and walking away! Truly a miracle.
I remember watching that at the time & thinking someone got their neck snapped. Many Olympic winter sports are life threatening & they definitely picked one.
IMO... What gets me is why they used the footage in the movie.... It's wasn't the same characters... The footage was real, and I imagine very personal to the team. They made a comedy out of a serious situation. I wish the movie used their real names, and made a less slimmy story in regards to the coach(rip JC). I liked the movie, but after watching this and finding out... You get the picture.
While the movie, as a whole, was a comedy, the crash part was nothing but dramatic. Devon Harris, one of the actual bobsledders, said, "All of us enjoy the movie. All of us love it." For him, it accurately represented "the essence and spirit of the team." I suppose that's the most important thing about the movie.
Just FYI, this sled was on display at a county night club called ranchman's. They closed down due to covid permanently and it was repo'd by the bank to be sold.
I was wondering why the times at the bottom were bouncing around, then I realized the video has been image stabilized. It's a shame the video doesn't show a few seconds more with people reaching out to high five them!
Now after watching this, I wonder why Cool Runnings was made. There was no underdog story with them carrying the sled across the finish line. The movie built up respect through an idea of strength through a struggle. Who would've though Hollywood would lie to us.
They were still underdogs by being Jamaica’s first bobsled team and participating in a winter sport where traditionally countries with tropical climates don’t compete.
@@Simple1Jack hmm I'd have to disagree. Yes they were from a country that typically doesn't compete in that sport, however the movie portrayed them crashing and showing the strength and courage to still finish the run through pain and adversity. This was not the case. What I'm getting at is it created this metaphor that no matter how tough things seem and how out of place you are, you can do anything you put your mind to (finishing the run as a team with the sled). It didn't happen, they accepted defeat and had the safety crew push the sled home with their heads hanging. In essence they were the failures that the bob sled community said they were.
@@Kontroll343 The movie definitely took liberties but it was ultimately all about having the chance to compete and represent their country. It’s a similar thing in the case of the Eddie the Eagle movie (which coincidently took place during the same Olympics) there were no medals won or records broken but that wasn’t what mattered in the end.
@@Simple1Jack yeah fair enough, I can see what you're getting at. I just didn't feel that that jumped out at me as the metaphor, but hey art means different things to different people, right. Take it easy.
Same with 2:20-2:25. Not significant at all. It’s coincidence’s like these that gave birth to the single most detrimental thing to the human race: Religion.
As much as like to make light of this because of the film, this is just about the scariest thing the average viewer has ever had to watch at an olympics. The fact that they kept the footage rolling after that horrific crash could’ve made them liable for the worst moment in Olympic history had they not encountered a miracle and walked away from that crash. I’m not a religious man, but this is as close to a miracle as I’ve ever seen.
There's no way they ahould have survived. I watched this live, and my folks were sure they were gone because of how their heads were against the track. It looked like 4 snapped necks being flung down an ice slide. I'll NEVER forget it.
Ya know, for a 3 minute video, I just get the feeling somehow there’s actually enough material here to tell a much, much larger story. That could be funny and uplifting entertaining for the whole family.
Cool runnings is one the most underrated Disney movies of all time.

And they don't carry their bob across the finish line themselves. I always found that so good about the Olympic idea in the Movie. 😐

Yeah
They kinda did??? Hell, people are clapping for them, they are smiling and walking towards the finish line, id say the movie is a fair bit accurate.
Ya i thought they carried it too sigh
Umm...that shit only happens IN Hollywood.
Wasn't a faulty ski that caused it like in the film either just inexperienced driving but fair play to them for giving it a go👍

And they were, and probably still are very fast sled pushers.

Lol anyone can have a team. The point is to have a good one.
And they suck as hard as the Canadian running team.
You got the one Deris!
I watched this live on TV , and felt very relived when they all got out safely.
Sometimes a valiant effort against the odds is more honourable than actually winning.
I'm a grown man but at this part of the movie I cried like a little kid, especially the part when everyone started clapping them.
“Sanka ya dead man”
“Na man we gotta finish the race”

I remember watching this when I was younger. I was so shocked when it happened, and relieved when they all walked away from it.
Yup, I remember.
They came in last at the Olympics, then retired to promote alcoholic beverages.
What a great team though, they had a dream and achieved it and nobody can take that away from them.
R.I.P. Sam Clayton Jr you inspired the World 🖤❤️💛💚
I'm moving to Calagry soon. As soon as I get there I'm watching this movie so I can FEEL THE RYTHM!!!
The movie dramatized certain things but they really didn’t need to. The true story was more than dramatic and inspiring enough.

COOL RUNNINGS was a better finale then the real thing
In the real thing they walked out alive. That wasn't Hollywood.
