In 1993, the wonderful people over at Disney decided to give us the gift of Cool Runnings. Cool Runnings is the story of four Jamaican's who form the first ever Jamaican bobsled team. Cool Runnings is of great significance because of it's superior acting and storylines. The team is acted out by three unknowns and Doug E. Doug, who is the second coolest black guy (First being Flavor Flav) in all of history.
John Candy happens to make an appearance in this movie as the coach. This is poor casting because it's hard to believe that he could ever fit in one of those sleds. Candy is so large in this movie it appears as if they have fed him a sled and he is walking around with it lodged in his massive belly. John Candy is now dead and was buried in a Steinway Piano Box. Back to the movie, at first no one wants the team to try because they think they'll fail, but they try anyway and qualify for the Olympics.
This is where the shit really hits the fan. Candy's character screws the team over by buying this beater sled that is falling apart, despite a fresh coat of paint and fancy uniforms, the sled is still shit. Just when it looks like the team is bound for glory, their sled falls apart looney tunes style on the ramp and they get their shit rearranged all the way down this ice halfpipe. When they get up, they carried their ruined sled across the finish line and everyone is happy for them.
All in all, this movie changed my life because it made me realize the following :
Doug E. Doug should have a lucky egg he kisses in all movies.
Kid and Play should have somehow been on the team.
John Candy is fat.
Disney should not make live action movies.
Jamaican people do nothing except have go kart races all day, they never work.
Every part of Jamaica is on the beach, there is no inland.
All black people can play any sport they want.
Tomorrow, the next in the series of movies that changed my life, The Garbage Picking Field Goal Kicking Philadelphia Phenomenon, starring Tony Danza.
