I was wondering the same thing...like what was that all about? If you don't wanna hear it, just get up and leave; say you had to go to the bathroom or something.
Love the movie. My daughter and I were eating at a Subway in Scottsdale AZ when Sean Aston pulled up, came in and picked up some food (obviously had called in prior to coming) paid and ignored everyone. Wasn’t mean but half the people there didn’t know who he was lol It wasn’t until after he got in his car & drove away that people started talking about it. My daughter & I said hello as he walked out. He smiled and kind of nodded his head. I told my daughter about the movie Rudy, that he was in it. She came home and wanted to watch the movie. She’s loved it ever since.
My gym teacher was Rudy's younger brother. That man worshiped his brother and made us watch the movie countless times. Hell, half the athletic department for my school district was in the movie because they all knew Rudy.
I walked on at a much smaller school and was basically a glorified tackling dummy,but I loved every minute of it. I was fortunate enough to play more than 2 plays,though!
True story my dad was at the Boston College game where they filmed the movie at halftime. His friend was passed at out (had a few too many the night before). He woke up at halftime. He's was like "I thought we were playing Boston College?". My dad and their 2 other friends were like "no man, we're playing Georgia Tech". Eventually my dad's friend figured it out . But they screwed with him and had him believing for like 5-10 minutes.
First, RUDY is a great movie. I've watched it several times. But notice, it is 'based on a true story.' Anytime you see those words you know the producers and directors have taken a lot of creative license.
Yeah a lot of people misunderstand what that sentence means and then they call out a film when apparently its not accurate. Its not supposed to. Its BASED on the true story...its NOT the true story.
The real Dan Devine was a little upset because the move depicts him as a villain in not wanting Rudy to play, but in real life he actually supported it...he wanted Rudy to play.
The REAL Rudy.. the real person that you all should hail as a true underdog hero, is Brandon Burlsworth. OL from the University of Arkansas. “Greater” is the best, most historically accurate movie I’ve ever seen. The guy went from an overweight walk-on, to an All-American and early 3rd-round draft pick. Such an underrated story.
I know there are tons of movies that have better graphics, stories, or even actors but this movie has to be one of the greatest most inspirational movies of all time, and my personal favorite. I mean everyone other than his best friend and soon to be best friend all doubted him. I'm sure a lot of people might know what it's like to have their father doubt them but not a lot persevere through that. I mean this guy went through 4 years of college, 2 junior college and was no better than a practice dummy. All of those 4 years of suffering and being told you're not good enough and being beat down in practice to playing 37 secs in a game, that 37 secs I think it was, was worth more than those 4 years of college. Man that is something to think about. He didn't even expect to play, he was content just being on the sidelines. Great, great movie.
I had no idea that scene was filmed at a halftime of a real game. Dan Devine can say if someone put their jersey on his desk they would never see it again but that’s not the point. The whole team put their jersey on his desk. You can’t fire the whole team per se. Best movie ever.
I've heard other big time players from that time who knew Rudy say that The jersey thing never happened. But again, the point being that a lot of these guys wanted Rudy to get his shot, this was just a dramatic way for the director to get that across to the audience. And in the movie Dan Devine wasn't keen on Rudy playing, but in real life it was his idea to let Rudy play. Rudy played 3 plays, a kick off, an incomplete pass, then the srack. So, artistic licence.
I was at the recording game. I Had no idea what was going on. One team leaves the field and another comes back on. I did notice the fans to my right were all wearing very dark clothing (1970 iish)
Rudy reminds me of how much I looked like Sean back then, not to mention I am nearly the same age. It’s crazy to think it’s been nearly 40 years since his huge debut in “The Goonies.”
I remember downloading this movie from torrent. I have no idea who this rudy is and about football. Made me cry though. What a great movie. Still have he copy on my flash drive.
This is like seeing a unicorn. An articulate, intelligent, humble, quick witted without a script actor. He not only played an athlete, he clearly is one. Bravo Sean Austin. Never was a fan until I saw this.
This'll sound dumb but when me and my friends would play football in the yard (when we got home after school) while everyone else was pretending to be Deon Sanders I was pretending to be Rudy Ruettiger.
I love the guy who removed his monitor headset and put his hands over his ears so he wouldn't have one of his favorite Sports Movies ruined by Sean Astin. :)
Is it STILL, the greatest movie I've ever seen! My favorite scene you ask? When Rudy left the office of the Priest and walked down to the tunnel entrance of Notre Dame Stadium. When he looked at "The house that Rockne Built" for the first time I could relate to that. He was standing there in awe. Just like I did when I did the first time I cast my eyes upon Notre Dame Stadium in person.
Way back in the early mid 90's when I was working as a photographer for a newspaper in Redlands California, the real Rudy was doing an inspirational talk at a local Catholic school. He showed a video of him like getting TWO sacks. Man, also what I remember was how short he was. I mean Paulie Shore short.
3:47 *Sean Astin, Played Mikey in The Goonies* Bro, he was a main character in a $3B trilogy with LoTR, headlined in movies alongside Denzel Washington, Meg Ryan, Brendan Fraser, Susan Sarandon, Matt Damon, Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Dan Aykroyd, Christopher Walken... That's like introducing Henry Winkler as "Guest Appearance on the Mary Tyler Moore Show"
Sean has the same intensity in his voice he had in the movie...A great sports movie and story of going after your dreams and never quitting... After the 1974 season, Notre Dame coach Parseghian stepped down, and former Green Bay Packers coach Dan Devine was named head coach. In Ruettiger's last opportunity to play for Notre Dame at home, Devine put him into a game as defensive end against Georgia Tech on November 8, 1975. In the movie Rudy, Devine is given a somewhat antagonistic role, not wanting Ruettiger to dress for his last game. In the real life scenario, however, it was Devine who came up with the idea to dress Ruettiger. In the final play of Ruettiger's senior season with the Fighting Irish, he recorded a sack,[4] which is all his Notre Dame stat line has ever shown. Ruettiger actually played for three plays.[4] The first play was a kickoff,[4] the second play was an incomplete pass, and on the third (and final) play he sacked[4] Georgia Tech quarterback Rudy Allen.[5] Ruettiger was carried off the field by his teammates following the game. Ruettiger was one of two players in Notre Dame history to ever be carried off the field by his teammates. The other is Marc Edwards in 1995.[6][7] In 2011, Ruettiger was charged with securities fraud in connection with his role as Chairman of Rudy Beverage, Inc. The government alleged a pump-and-dump scheme. A settlement of the case required Ruettiger to pay $382,866 in fines.[13]
I loved the movie for years until I noticed the chyron that says "four years later" before he ever attended Holy Cross. The guy was 27 when he got into the game.
It wasnt public speaking; it was an interview. He has been in the movie business for decades, and at that time, about 10 years. He was used to it, and therefore wasn't nervous
@@wattyler6128 "It wasnt public speaking; it was an interview." You say something this silly seriously? Anyone can sound foolish or slow in an interview or speaking in front of others or recording to yourself alone. Some famous actors have been in the business and admit they get nervous in public speaking and interviews. You just looking for any reason to cry.
@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants I disagree. He was having a conversation with one guy as opposed to giving a speech, debating, or giving a presentation of some kind. Yes, some actors still get nervous after being in the business a long time. However, being shocked at Sean Astin's wit suggests you aren't familiar with him or his previous experience (which is fine). I usually dont look for reasons to cry, but I do try to ensure survival of the species by f*king your mom
@@wattyler6128 Either you or youtube deleted/hid your comment and when you go on a show like that there might be 5+ guys in the room. It is not a 1 on 1 private interview. If they do the show live it makes your point even more silly. Your crying for the sake of crying.
Yes…Hollywood always dramatizes true stories. That’s what makes the movie work for the viewers. I met the real Rudy after the movie was released. He told all of us some great stories that weren’t even in the movie. He mentioned a player that wanted to quit when he was a freshman because he was listed as the 4th string quarterback and Rudy told him to hang in there and keep on fighting and to not give up…the man’s name was “Joe Montana”.
Sean says he has a good answer for the Offsides argument. He would if that were at a different point in the game. The Rudy Play was when there was 10 seconds left in the game and Notre Dame had a 19 point lead. The refs aren't going to prolong a game by throwing the flag at that point for something as minor as Offsides.
Director of Rudy and Hoosiers is the same guy, David Anspagh. Bad guy in both movies is the same actor, Chelcie Ross. Don't know which is better but both in the top 5 sports movies ever IMO.
True stories put into a movie will have Hollywood dramatization. My history was a Vietnam Vet and saw the transcripts of the battle depicted in the movie We Were Soldiers. There was no final charge or reporters allowed on the battle field after the battle ended. He loved the movie but wanted to point that out
When he said Penn...I'm thinking he meant Penn State? That was the same year that Notre Dame beat PSU in the 'Snow Bowl'! WOW, so weird to think that Rudy has been around that long. I don't care what was and wasn't real. Real ND fans can probably decipher those things. But, they picked some great actors to play the parts of D-Bob, Vince Vaughn's character Jamie O'Hara, Rudy's father, the Priest etc...and coaches. Even, if they were no names before (which most weren't) they became bigger through this movie. Joe Montana wasn't telling how it was to be a jerk, I think he was just letting people know 'hey, this is what happened and what didn't happen.' And, I knew the jersey scene wasn't real from several articles in the past. But, what a great video/interview.
He's spewing more disinformation. They didn't play Penn or Penn St. the next week. They played Pitt in Pittsburgh. It wasn't snowing. BTW... the got absolutely hammered by Pitt in that game. TD set the NCAA single game rushing record of 303 yards. Probably why they left it out of the movie.
IDK what Joe's stance is, but you KNOW there are TONS of people who were jealous about him having a movie made about him when they played for ND or even won a superbowl! That's straight up fact. AND...I even saw players joke about that who played with him....yeah, we were starters and he got a movie made about him.
I was wondering why u saw Notre Dame Penn State on the scoreboard during the movie . Cuz they never played when Rudy played. But that makes sense cuz i remember Penn State and ND playing a great game in the snow in the early 90's .
People need to realize that Hollywood ALWAYS mixes truth with a LOT of fiction...which Sean Astin terms, "artistic license." It's sad...because the majority of people would rather accept the FICTIONALIZED version.
That's funny that people actually ask Joe Montana about Rudy to the point where he is annoyed. I mean that was arguably the GOAT of football until like 7-8 years ago. That's like running into MJ and asking him about some obscure character in Space Jam.
Sean Austin & Iron-Man director was just fantastic in the film! Bob Golic is just jealous! That was the entire story Rudy was a nobody and the stars dont know him and he got into one game!
With respect, a live television show is not actually live. For example, jimmy kimmel, his guests get a few hours before the “live show” to speak with him and walk on stage and go through the questions being asked in the interview. When the audience finally sees it, they don’t know that. So to them, it’s live.
I must have watched Rudy over 100 times it never gets old.
Me too!

Straight up made me cry 😭 such an inspirational film. Loved Sean’s performance.

Rudy is a great film, JUST ENJOY THE DAMN MOVIE!

Especially among high school students.
Would provide too much hope and divine friction between classes; it won't happen.

If you watch the actual play, he wasn't even close to offsides. He's behind the 20 yard line, which was the line of scrimmage

Whether it's fictional or not, I like the character of Rudy. I want to be like Rudy.
Great movie
Plyers like Rudy, always make you be better at the game!
I was wondering why u saw Notre Dame Penn State on the scoreboard during the movie . Cuz they never played when Rudy played. But that makes sense cuz i remember Penn State and ND playing a great game in the snow in the early 90's .
@Kevin Prima yes.
He just plays iconic characters..Still Mike from goonies to me
Good Film, it pumped you up
Great video - love Sean Astin. Now go and watch Robbie from SNL... very funny. :)
Another thing is that Rudy didn’t sack the QB by himself he had help from I think the DE
People need to realize that Hollywood ALWAYS mixes truth with a LOT of fiction...which Sean Astin terms, "artistic license." It's sad...because the majority of people would rather accept the FICTIONALIZED version.
Valerie Griner you dont know How story telling works do you?
Sounds like she knows exactly how it works....
1:44 There's no such word as 'Offsides' It's OFFSIDE. Only one S
His sack in the movie was against Georgia Tech, not Boston College
Talk about a career. Goonies to the Lord of the Rings movies. Sean has had a great career, and he's an awesome actor in my opinion.
That's funny that people actually ask Joe Montana about Rudy to the point where he is annoyed. I mean that was arguably the GOAT of football until like 7-8 years ago. That's like running into MJ and asking him about some obscure character in Space Jam.
If u r talking about Brady, hes not the goat!!!
The 2nd best sports movie I've ever seen. Only behind Hoosiers.
Don't know Sean Astin but seems like a class act.
Sean is a very serious Christian man and it always shows. Just love him!!
Your my hero Rudy..
The next game was the snow bowl sickkkk
Sean Austin & Iron-Man director was just fantastic in the film! Bob Golic is just jealous! That was the entire story Rudy was a nobody and the stars dont know him and he got into one game!
Rudy is like a reverse Shawshank Redemption. Free young man seeks to enter a stifling, dogma driven institution for a 4 year sentence.
With respect, a live television show is not actually live. For example, jimmy kimmel, his guests get a few hours before the “live show” to speak with him and walk on stage and go through the questions being asked in the interview. When the audience finally sees it, they don’t know that. So to them, it’s live.
Why was that guy covering his ears?
How refreshing to get an honest actor giving an honest answer.
..
and what was that guy covering his ears for ?
🤪
I guess he doesn't want to hear about how it's not totally true, he just found out Santa isn't real that day too.
He wasn't offsides...I watched it ten times.
Great movie.
Norte Dame has come a long way since then, Rudy would get to play now in the playoffs down by 20-30.
My mom and dad was at that game
