Best movie starring a pro athlete is oddly enough...

[spin]

there should be some kind of concession or punishment for anyone who makes a prove me wrong thread, and is proven wrong.

Discuss.


should be sterilized.

 

[Brom Bones]

Orenthal James Simpson - The Naked Gun

 

[Sour Dieselnoi]

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

Weathers is a D level athlete

Really scratching the bottom of the barrel with that one

And Rampage is A level?

 

[BEER]

My serious answer would be blue chips starring Shaq and Penny.

He got game I've heard was pretty good too. Starring Ray Allen

He Got Game is a damn fine drama. Denzel and Ray Allen were both great in it.

That would be my vote for this thread.

Weathers do me is much more an actor than a pro athlete though, he had a very limited NFL career didn't he?

I'm not the greatest Guy Ritchie fan but perhaps Snatch with Vinny Jones if were talking significant roles rather than just minor ones?

It's Airplane. It's almost 40 years old and still one of the greatest comedy films ever made.

Airplane had 2 “A” level athletes in it, so that would be my pick.

A lot of the films mentioned in here are not, in fact, starring the pro athletes in the films. That’s actually a much smaller group of films.

 

[Cantona7]

Pick a film with Jason Statham ?

Not sure Statham was a pro athlete, just an amateur diver.

Who was the second?

Bodybuilding is not a sport. It's a pageant. Like Miss America.

I've been having a nigh on 10-year argument with a friend about this. He won't accept it isn't a sport. I'm going to hit him with this pageant chat when we inevitably have the argument again.
