Some of his Rah Rah speech is based on legendary Notre Dame football coach..Knute Rockne..who died around 1930 in a Kansas cornfield…I’m from Kansas..They made a movie with Pat O’Brien in 1940 titled Knute Rockne:All American..Ronald Reagan, later President…played a young doomed football player, George Gipp…dying of cancer…but Rockne was one reason they pass the football today..with Notre Dame being a top school…passing became a weapon..
Same for me! This is my Dad's favorite movie (I love it too) and I watched it probably at least 6 times a year every year until I left for college, but it did not have a lot of these scenes. The Mary character I'm pretty sure was only in 4 scenes in the theatrical cut: signing people up for boosters, painting helmets with Rudy, at the bar where he lets slip that he's not a student, and at football practice when Rudy says, "Don't I know you?" Will have to look for this extended edition :)
@@airman9820same, I had no idea there’s an extended cut featuring all these scenes with Mary. These scenes should have made the original cut as they add even more emotion, especially that shot of Mary shedding a tear after seeing Rudy make the tackle in the game. Unreal!
The jerseys on the desk scene is artistic dramatic license..Coach Dan Devine has said he always planned on Rudy suiting up for the game…but it does tug at the heartstrings a little…
"Rudy, are you ready for this, champ?" "I've been ready for this my whole life!" "Then you take us out on the field." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Lisa Varga. Location Location Fact: One of only two movies shot on Notre Dame's campus. The other was Knute Rockne All American (1940). Casting Notes Fact: Ned Beatty plays Sean Astin's father. The year before, he appeared in Prelude To A Kiss (1992), in which he played the husband of Astin's real-life mother, Patty Duke. First credited movie role for Vince Vaughn. Cameos Cameos Fact: The real D-Bob cameos as the bartender in the movie. Daniel 'Rudy' Ruettiger appears in the final six minutes of the film, the real-life Rudy as a Notre Dame fan sitting in the football stands. Daniel 'Rudy' Ruettiger can be seen to the left of his Ned Beatty. Rudy is wearing a plaid driving cap and a dark coat with a white fur collar. Later during the cheering, Ned Beatty turns and playfully bats at the real Rudy. Historical Fact: Rudy (Sean Astin) runs his fingers down the list in a close-up two times. The first time he starts on one name, the second time he starts on another name. The two names he starts his finger on are the actual names of the two players who picked him up and carried him off the field. In the movie, Rudy is portrayed as having largely gone into the steel industry after graduating high school. In reality, he served four years in the U.S. Navy as a yeoman on a communications ship, which is never mentioned. According to Rudy, he has no brother named Frank (Scott Benjaminson) in real life. The character of Frank is all of the people who told Rudy he couldn't do it rolled into one person.
Another fun fact, Joe Montana was on that Notre Dame team and when this movie came out he tried to piss all over it saying that Rudy really wasn't that loved on the team. Everybody was just saying he was being a jealous little prick. But I don't know for a fact if that's true. LOL
That's crazy weird if true, to think a hall of famer, millionaire, someone who's been beloved their whole life could be jealous of a kid who had a once in a lifetime moment. But seeing the fragile egos of some of these athletes... I can believe it. 😒
My Dad went to Notre Dane and my mom went to St. Mary’s next to it…Because Notre Dame was not yet Co-Ed…her side of the family is in/from the South Bend area…so I spent quite a bit of time at Notre Dame…A cousin from her side of the family is one of the Irish Sessions musicians in the bar. I even saw Elvis perform Live there the year before he died. It’s a beautiful campus!
I love this! My roommate was Sean Astin's stand-in and we were all extras in the movie when we were attending Notre Dame. I've never seen this cut of the movie and I assumed all my best scenes wound up on the cutting room floor. At 30:27 that is William White (on the left), Sean's stand-in. I'm the one walking in the back while she talks about Holy Cross. Where did you get this version? Oh, and I was so excited to see this version I forgot to mention that Vince Vaughn and John Favreau met on set and were struggling actors and they decided to make a movie about struggling actors. That movie ended up being Swingers, which also included the debut of Heather Graham. It's pretty amazing what effect this little movie had on future actors and directors.
45:10 Joe Montana, who played at Notre Dame during this time has talked about it and said although the storyline is based on a true story most of the events in the movie are made-up. The scene where the team all turn in their jerseys so Rudy can play did not happen, there was no "Rudy" chanting and although they did carry Rudy off the field at the end of the game it was more of a joke than anything else.
Joe just seemed bitter at the whole situation for some reason. Joe was a freshman and was bitter some guy named Rudy got attention at that time. Rudy story is inspiring to a lot of people and for Joe to crap on it wasn't cool
is there video of this interview ? There is an article "The True Story of Rudy Ruettiger - the Notre Dame Legend Behind Rudy" that contains a 12-minute interview with the real Rudy - he corroborates most of what is in the movie (he estimated 92% of it was true). A good interview, with cuts from the movie throughout it.
keep it up the algorithm is working , out of the blue was suggested your amadeus video yesterday and watched it and subbed. really great rudy reaction here today too , good stuff
At one point we lived in Rolling Meadows..near Palatine by the airport in those days…for a year, before heading back to Kansas..20 miles east of my hometown is Atchison, Kansas, where Amelia Earhart’s house stands as a historical landmark..and it’s brown..a nice big house..just can’t park her old plane in it…
45:13 there is a 4 minute video titled: "The REAL Rudy - 125 years of Notre Dame Football - Moment 084" on youtube; it has three ND players from that 1975 team, who talk about Rudy and that game, funny stories - but ya, they corroborate some of the details shown in the movie. The last tackle was not a solo tackle by Rudy like the movie shows, but he was part of it; the video from the game ending is included.
It is not often you see a beautiful woman watching a sports movie, but this is more than sports…it’s dreams and determination and family, never giving up when the world says you should..and it is about realizing who you are…and making someone else’s dreams reality…and with this..just like Second Hand Lions..you might need a tissue…or two…but the line about beauty…you are..and every woman should , at least once a day, hear she is…beautiful..just my belief..I’ve always had..like forever..
17:30 Notre Dame has a tradition of dorm dances where roommates set up each other for dates. They were known for a time as SYR's for "screw your roommate."
The voice on the recording that young Rudy was memorizing was Knute Rockne. There’s a 1940 movie about how he turned ND into a football powerhouse. It features a performance by future American president. You should watch it.
Talking about Greyhound..the company..my great-grandfather James left Kentucky..according to the family tree/history..with a team of mules and $20,000 in 1854…and headed to Lincoln, Nebraska to start a freight/transportation company..with a guy up top riding shotgun…with a real shotgun…our company uses heavy leather straps for suspension overwrought roads…we were the Greyhound of the Old West.We were Wells Fargo..with the very nice stagecoaches.. Henry Wells and John Fargo and James Chiles..there is/was a town in Virginia with our family name southwest of Richmond..CHILESVILLE..now a historical landmark…we got here in 1646..and the Founders..were friends and neighbors..and women stitching together the first flag..family and friends..130 years before Independence…we were here..and moved west..
Actually, with Joliet Catholic HS, then Holy Cross with a year of top grades, ND took a number of students upon recommendation. It worked that way in the 70s. But my HS valedictorian had a 4.4 out of 4 GPA and got turned down by ND..it is the one of the hardest schools to get in, like Ivy League schools.
AH! Sports Movies! Disney's "Miracle" based on the " Miracle on Ice" Olympic Hockey Team (It will be 45 years in February 2025) another one and the Original "Brian's Song"was the number one made for TV movie of all time. demand for it was so big they put it in the movie theaters.
is this some sort of special edition?..I feel like there were multiple scenes that I don't remember ever actually seeing..where the girl talks to Vince Vaughn at the bar?..and the dad's explanation of why they like Notre Dame..when Rudy invited Mary to football practive..Mary wanting to write a story on Rudy..what the actual eff?..there's no way I'm mindslipping these scenes..I have this on DVD..I've seen it like 25 times..
This is a good example of why you need to edit. A lot of times the director has to cut scenes that he really loves but he does it because it doesn't move the story along. None of these scenes make the movie better; especially all the extra stuff with Mary. Hell, I half expected her to hug and kiss him in the final frame.
I've seen Rudy many times but enjoyed seeing it with your reactions. Many this time- the laughter and tears. Great review as always. Oh, there is a video on RUclips of the last game and his tackle of the quarterback.
Are there deleted scenes? There were some scenes that I saw that I don't remember ever seeing in my prior viewings. I've heard that the coach was actually very supportive of Rudy but the film needed a villain so he accepted the role. I don't think Pete ever existed as Rudy's brother. I think he was meant to be a combination of all the doubters in Rudy's life. When Rudy was being carried off the field, it wasn't meant to be a place of honor but more of a joke. There has been speculation (I think by Joe Montana) that Rudy did not sack the QB in that final play.
I recommend watching Knut Rockney all America with his all American quarterback George Gipp played by Ronald Reagan They are the two that put Notre Dame University on the football map. It’s kind of old . Classic.
45:13 - there is an article about "The True Story of Rudy Ruettiger - The Notre Dame Legend Behind Rudy" that contains a video interview of the real Rudy. Much of the movie was true (he estimates 92% of it). He did come from a large Catholic family (13 siblings !), his HS football coach was encouraging, his good friend did die in an accident, he did talk to a priest at Notre Dame one night soon after, a teacher at Holy Cross did help him with his dyslexia issue, one janitor at Notre Dame did keep it real with him, he did get rejected by ND 3 times, he did walk-on at ND for 2 seasons, two ND players did talk to Coach Devine about Rudy dressing (not the whole team), , there was an article in the student newspaper about him, he did make a tackle on the last play, the team did carry him off the field. At least this is what he states during the interview. I believe there is a youtube video of his tackle play also.
My cousin almost failed her senior year of high school. She wanted to go to Michigan State University. She went to a junior college, had 2 years of all A's, and graduated from Michigan Staye University.
I played HS and college football, I was very good in High School, but just average when I got to college. It is the adrenaline that you love of the game, it flows thru you and gives you a high, that you learn to love!! Even if your the one who is getting smashed. Nothing like the feeling!! Awesome, wouldn't change a bruise, sprain, broken finger I got to give away one of those hits!!
I was really bummed when I found out just how many liberties were taken with this story. There's about 10% of this movie that is actual fact. Sad too, good movie.
Rudy: "Hey! Wait up!" Moe: "Aw, crap! It's that pipsqueak, Rudy." Homer: "What it is, Rudy?" Rudy: "Can I come, too?" Krusty: "Forget it, kid. You're too small to go to the Superbowl." Rudy: "But what I lack in size, I make up for in...obnoxiousness!" _(falls to the ground)_ All: "Yay!"
Wow, first time I have seen this extended cut. I noticed in the version I had seen, a lot of lines and scenes of the girl from Notre Dame were cut. Maybe they thought better not to make it look like there was also a love interest.
Your reactions are always great, but when you can slip in a Secret of NIMH shout out, all the better. It was my favorite books/series of books when I was a kid. You had me at NIMH…you had me at NIMH. ❤
Miracle with Dennis Quaid is reminiscent of this, if you liked this you’ll enjoy that too as well as Hoosiers with Gene Hackman, one of my fav sports movies.
The REAL Dan "Rudy" Ruettiger is actually in this movie. There's a scene where Rudy's father is at that final game and at one point in all the excitement he turns around and grabs another fan behind him by the lapel. Your video does not show that moment but you can see him for just a moment by going to 41:44 ... Rudy is the guy behind the parents wearing a plaid drivers cap and a dark blue coat with a shearling collar ... that is Rudy Ruettiger.
Okay, if you lived within 30 miles of Chicago, that is not around Chicago, that is Chicagoland. I am not from there, but I loved liking right off of Lake Michigan. I am not a Notre Dame fan, that speech is Coach Knute Kenneth Rockne. And it was on a record because cassettes weren't widely used in the mid to late 1960s. They were too expensive.
I love your reaction I just want to say one thing. Him being carried off the field wasn't true. If you watch the documentary it'll show you that no player has ever been carried off of a field after a Notre Dame game.
She called it Kleenex.... which is how you know this person is from the Midwest.... we don't call it tissue.... also it is called POP.... not soda or coke.... LOL
Where did you get this version? They've added a whole bunch of new scenes and do you know what? They SHOULD have been cut. There are way too many pointless scenes with Mary. You always take a chance on what to cut and what to leave in but just because you made a successful movie it doesn't mean you have the right to now go back and change it. Hell, I half expected Rudy to marry Mary at the end.
lol at woke garbage. The new hollywood is now streaming, plenty of good series and tv shows. Nobody goes to the movies. Maybe you want to put up millions to create one for it to be streaming in weeks
@@trhansen3244you know people older than you and before your era felt the same way about it? That older films were superior because this, that and the third reasons. Your take on films isn’t special lol and the point being is ur opinion is subjective and you should calm down about the “Woke Agenda”. Maybe you should actually look for good films currently and not reminisce about films you were spoon fed to praise.
@@chrisv.423 They are superior and it's not hard to see why. They had better actors and were not solely driven to adhere to DEI. It's not hard to figure it out. Give it a whirl, wokeboy!
Your reactions are always great, but when you can slip in a Secret of NIMH shout out, all the better. It was my favorite books/series of books when I was a kid. You had me at NIMH…you had me at NIMH. ❤

Jerry Goldsmith's musical score is the real heart of this amazing movie. Nice reaction.
ive seen this movie a dozen times, this must be an extended cut, so many scenes I've never seen.
Yeah I thought I was hallucinating, I didn't remember all those scenes with Mary. I will have to see if I can find this version.
Same! Never ever knew they made an extended edition of this movie!!

I was an extra in this movie and went out for beers with Ned Beatty.
Awesome.

@@gingerbreadman1969 No, I didn't, but is was on the tip of my tongue the whole time! lol

"Then you take us out on the field."
Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Lisa Varga.

Yes, completely wonderful! Good one, Christina. This is a special story, isn't it? Thanks for sharing this one.
Joe Montana was a rookie quarterback on that team the year Rudy got to play

As a lifelong Notre Dame fan and a alum of the college this is my favorite football movie im glad you enjoyed it.
17:30 Notre Dame has a tradition of dorm dances where roommates set up each other for dates. They were known for a time as SYR's for "screw your roommate."
One of my favorite movies and ive never seen the long version you just watched
Yep, Jerry Goldsmith scores this film beautifully. I too love The Secret of Nimh's music, in fact I have nearly all of his and John Barrys scores.
Both fabulous composers!
Wow! 😳 Your hair looks great down at the beginning! ❤ Good to see you again! Good movie!
Wow thanks!! I got tired of it and gave myself a quick haircut!
The voice on the recording that young Rudy was memorizing was Knute Rockne. There’s a 1940 movie about how he turned ND into a football powerhouse. It features a performance by future American president. You should watch it.
One of my favorite sports movies. Another one is “Hoosiers,” also a Cinderella story set in Indiana with an awesome soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith.
Hoosiers, is one of the best sport movies
Talking about Greyhound..the company..my great-grandfather James left Kentucky..according to the family tree/history..with a team of mules and $20,000 in 1854…and headed to Lincoln, Nebraska to start a freight/transportation company..with a guy up top riding shotgun…with a real shotgun…our company uses heavy leather straps for suspension overwrought roads…we were the Greyhound of the Old West.We were Wells Fargo..with the very nice stagecoaches..

Man... Seeing Samwise Gamgee run out on that field with his whole Hobbit family in the stands going crazy makes me tear up every time. 😂❤️😎
He's so little!!
Most big schools do this…the legacy…if your father or siblings played here or attended here, it’s easier..to get in, or to get on the team…
I've seen Rudy 100 times and I've never seen that ending quite like that before?
This must be a directors cut that I didn't know existed?
You mentioned dreams , Well "Field of Dreams " popped to mind . Great movie also .
Good movie and a great score by Jerry Goldsmith!
is this some sort of special edition?..I feel like there were multiple scenes that I don't remember ever actually seeing..where the girl talks to Vince Vaughn at the bar?..and the dad's explanation of why they like Notre Dame..when Rudy invited Mary to football practive..Mary wanting to write a story on Rudy..what the actual eff?..there's no way I'm mindslipping these scenes..I have this on DVD..I've seen it like 25 times..
Also Mary getting emotional after Rudy gets to play.

This reaction was a cut of the movie I haven't seen before, with extra scenes. Anyone else notice that?
Yes
@@leif712009 I didn’t care for it, I didn’t need that booster club chick crying and cheering for him at the end, that was weird
@@sparksdrinker5650 👍🏼
A phenomenal music score
Are there deleted scenes? There were some scenes that I saw that I don't remember ever seeing in my prior viewings.
I've heard that the coach was actually very supportive of Rudy but the film needed a villain so he accepted the role.
I don't think Pete ever existed as Rudy's brother. I think he was meant to be a combination of all the doubters in Rudy's life.
When Rudy was being carried off the field, it wasn't meant to be a place of honor but more of a joke.
There has been speculation (I think by Joe Montana) that Rudy did not sack the QB in that final play.
He had a half sack, there was another guy who made the assist.
That was how the actual game ended. You can find a clip of the original tackle on youtube.
I recommend watching Knut Rockney all America with his all American quarterback George Gipp played by Ronald Reagan
They are the two that put Notre Dame University on the football map. It’s kind of old . Classic.
Always wondered why we say Good Grief!I know what grief is ..but….
Most people remember Sean from Lord of the Rings…he also did 50 First Dates with Adam Sandler..

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
My cousin almost failed her senior year of high school. She wanted to go to Michigan State University. She went to a junior college, had 2 years of all A's, and graduated from Michigan Staye University.
That is so honorable. Good for her!!

Fantastic Movie ... 🙏✌️❤️
Thank you! It was a great movie!!
Christina even today you can transfer from a junior college to a University.

Years ago I did a Greyhound trip across country with lots of stops to visit friends. I don't know if I would do it today.
Rudy: "Hey! Wait up!"
Moe: "Aw, crap! It's that pipsqueak, Rudy."
Homer: "What it is, Rudy?"
Rudy: "Can I come, too?"
Krusty: "Forget it, kid. You're too small to go to the Superbowl."
Rudy: "But what I lack in size, I make up for in...obnoxiousness!" _(falls to the ground)_
All: "Yay!"
I think that was Pete's mother, not his widow. Great movie 🎬 Great reaction.
Nothing hits like an inspirational sports movie. See: Miracle, Seabiscuit, Invincible
Thanks for the recs!
Wow, first time I have seen this extended cut. I noticed in the version I had seen, a lot of lines and scenes of the girl from Notre Dame were cut. Maybe they thought better not to make it look like there was also a love interest.
They cut them because they didn't move the story along. This is why they also give awards to the Editor. They can make or break a movie.
Your reactions are always great, but when you can slip in a Secret of NIMH shout out, all the better. It was my favorite books/series of books when I was a kid. You had me at NIMH…you had me at NIMH. ❤
It's a true story
Miracle with Dennis Quaid is reminiscent of this, if you liked this you’ll enjoy that too as well as Hoosiers with Gene Hackman, one of my fav sports movies.
Thanks!
Dennis Quaid.... what the hell are you talking about.... you mean Miracle with Kurt Russell????
@ indeed I did, thx 👍🏼 Quaid was the Rookie
Rudy... excellent choice. Still waiting on "Breaking Away". Soundtrack is phenomenal.
Yeah you definitely watch the extended edition
The hidden gem of inspirational sports films
😍😍
The REAL Dan "Rudy" Ruettiger is actually in this movie.
There's a scene where Rudy's father is at that final game and at one point in all the excitement he turns around and grabs another fan behind him by the lapel.
Your video does not show that moment but you can see him for just a moment by going to 41:44 ... Rudy is the guy behind the parents wearing a plaid drivers cap and a dark blue coat with a shearling collar ... that is Rudy Ruettiger.
Neat!
This must be a extended version they added a lot more with that girl reporter, and tbh it takes away a little from the theatrical cut
Where did you get the extended version?
It was just the one available to purchase! It wasn't labeled as a director's cut or anything! False advertising.
No one with a heart doesn't cry at that jersey scene.
Okay, if you lived within 30 miles of Chicago, that is not around Chicago, that is Chicagoland. I am not from there, but I loved liking right off of Lake Michigan.
I am not a Notre Dame fan, that speech is Coach Knute Kenneth Rockne. And it was on a record because cassettes weren't widely used in the mid to late 1960s. They were too expensive.
Where did you get this copy? It has more scenes than is usually shown on tv.
The sack at the end really should not have been counted because he was offsides when the ball was snapped. 😂
True only if the referees called it.
Another improbable sports movie…again, it’s football, and it is true, like this one…INVINCIBLE…Mark Whalberg…Philadelphia Eagles ..
Who is this Mary girl at Notre Dame?
I love your reaction I just want to say one thing. Him being carried off the field wasn't true.
If you watch the documentary it'll show you that no player has ever been carried off of a field after a Notre Dame game.
You should watch Field of Dreams
I have a Rudy autographed jersey..from the real guy, not Sean Astin..
Great movie to watch after ND got smoked by NIU in the biggest upset of the entire NIU football program!
I knew it was going to be a problem when you said you didn't have tissues.
There's a video of the real Rudy on that final play.
She called it Kleenex.... which is how you know this person is from the Midwest.... we don't call it tissue.... also it is called POP.... not soda or coke.... LOL
Where's Frodo and Smeagal?
several scenes in this version that didn't make the cut
Ned Beatty is such a jerk as Rudy's Dad in this, that I always feel like watching Deliverance after watching this.
I love football. You have to eat more girl. You are looking famished. And I love this movie.
I love to eat. Bring it on. ;)
Where did you get this version? They've added a whole bunch of new scenes and do you know what? They SHOULD have been cut. There are way too many pointless scenes with Mary. You always take a chance on what to cut and what to leave in but just because you made a successful movie it doesn't mean you have the right to now go back and change it. Hell, I half expected Rudy to marry Mary at the end.
yeah the final scene with him running to the sideline and saying "You remember me" would not have made sense with those other scenes....
Theatrical version is better. More tight and concise.
Agreed.
It's sad to see this movie and see what Hollywood used to produce and then take a gander at the woke garbage they spew out non-stop.
lol at woke garbage. The new hollywood is now streaming, plenty of good series and tv shows. Nobody goes to the movies. Maybe you want to put up millions to create one for it to be streaming in weeks
@@drew5965 They are crap. But you enjoy them! LOL
@@trhansen3244you know people older than you and before your era felt the same way about it? That older films were superior because this, that and the third reasons. Your take on films isn’t special lol and the point being is ur opinion is subjective and you should calm down about the “Woke Agenda”. Maybe you should actually look for good films currently and not reminisce about films you were spoon fed to praise.
@@chrisv.423 They are superior and it's not hard to see why. They had better actors and were not solely driven to adhere to DEI. It's not hard to figure it out. Give it a whirl, wokeboy!
Your reactions are always great, but when you can slip in a Secret of NIMH shout out, all the better. It was my favorite books/series of books when I was a kid. You had me at NIMH…you had me at NIMH. ❤
