    I watched the movie last night and realised why Eddie couldn't go as far as the other jumpers. You see, the extra weight and aerodynamic drag of his gigantic balls was holding him back.

      So true, he's the only jumper that left 3 tracks going down the slope. If he had an exrta ski for his balls he would smash the world record.

    An extremely uplifting movie, very well portrayed characters. I remember Eddie, and as some professional athlete said, Do you remember who took gold? No!!! While that is sad in itself, it is fitting. Eddie was an inspiration to many while so many were interested in winning, Eddie knew he had no hope of winning but still played his part..Someone always has to come last, Eddie made the best of the journey! Don't miss this movie. it's great!

      Frank Cohen Matti Nykänen won the gold, and two other golds. Matti is one of the most successful ski jumpers of all time. I like Eddie, but people only remember him because he was so bad yet likeable,and the only ski jumper from Britain to attend the Olympics to this day. I remember someone saying the other jumpers got mad at him because they thought he didn't deserve the attention he got, because you know, he sucked. Matti however wasn't one of them, Eddie said that Matti was always polite towards him

    Eddie, I lived in Calgary in 1988 and was home sick with mono, so I watched every minute of those Games. You were never a joke to the audience; you were the heart of the Games. (You, and the Jamaican bobsleigh team.) We always love to root for the underdog, so we'd give you a standing ovation over other ski jumpers. You were the extra-large heart and soul of the Games that year.

Contrast that with Raygun's break dancing and the 'Women's'(?) boxing spectacle we witnessed in Paris.

    I watched the Olympic Winter Games, especially ski jumping and Biathlon when I was young. I don't know who jumped for my country. I don't know who won the event. I do know Eddie the Eagle and never wanted to miss his jumps. Everybody loved Eddie for him being him, for his courage, for his defiance of the standard, and not for the athletic performance performance. The movie about Eddie the Eagle took me back in time and he should be an example for anybody who is chasing his dreams.

    It's really cool to see this cause in the old footage of Eddie it kinda looks like he's not all there or missing a few marbles, but this shows that he's a very well spoken smart normal guy. So watching the old footage now I can see that he's just a kid who's probably just nervous and excited to be at the Olympics and on camera or something. So yeah it's cool to see a different side of Eddie. Great movie too.

    Eddie, a great ambassador for Britain. I remember him during the Calgary games. The world loved him (except for the IOC)

    he's obviously a wonderful character Eddie and it's a classic British underdog story which we love.

    I met him once in Bedford, he was such a gentleman and a real inspiration to the younger generation, I know most people like to win but it really is the taking part that counts and everyone has to start somewhere, a nice guy through and through

    If the film is 100% correct and true to the story, then yes I agree, Eddie is a legend.
    At the very least, he is a decent guy who is just enjoying life.
    Take note all professional sports people!
