0:00:08 > 0:00:12In fact, I know Hollywood better than I know my own face.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15And I've spent a long time in make-up.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18I've done horror movies, action movies, sci-fi, dance,
0:00:18 > 0:00:20rom-coms, but tonight,
0:00:20 > 0:00:23we look at a genre that a lifelong winner like yours truly
0:00:23 > 0:00:27cannot get enough of as we knuckle down
0:00:27 > 0:00:33and train hard for the title of The Hoff's Best Sports Film Ever.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Welcome to the Hoffice.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55You know, I've never counted all of these trophies before. Why?
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Because they're props!
0:00:56 > 0:00:59I've got way more than this in my real house, believe me!
0:01:00 > 0:01:02At the end of the show, I'm going
0:01:02 > 0:01:05to reveal to you The Hoff's Best Sports Film Ever,
0:01:05 > 0:01:10but first, I'm going to tell you what I want in a great sports movie.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12OK, team! Let's do this!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20We'll have unlikely sports heroes...
0:01:20 > 0:01:21The Jamaican bobsleigh team.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- ..a touch of sporting romance... - Please be 18.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Hi. My name is Lola Bunny.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32I know she's a rabbit and a cartoon, but she's actually quite hot.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Adrian!
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Rocky has Adrian, hasn't he?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Adrian!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Adrian!- Adrian!
0:01:38 > 0:01:39..some mean, mean coaches...
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Like that.- Touch! Touch!
0:01:42 > 0:01:45You've got to get mean! That's the only way you can play.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47There's no crying in baseball!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49There's no crying in baseball.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52..and the most effective training method there is.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Training definitely has to be in a montage.

0:02:09 > 0:02:15First up, it's the guys I totally cannot relate to, the underdogs.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17That's right, you can't have
0:02:17 > 0:02:20a story about winners without someone who initially sucks
0:02:20 > 0:02:24so bad at a sport, that someone had to make a movie about it.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Prepare to wince.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29GRUNTS
0:02:33 > 0:02:36'Here comes the underdog, Brendan Conlon.'
0:02:36 > 0:02:37I love an underdog story.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43His character... He's not supposed to make it.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45What's the matter? Mommy not here to dress you?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47We are all the underdogs.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50We all suck at so many aspects of our lives.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I'm not fat! I'm just... I'm unfit.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56They can't be someone who looked like they could win to begin with.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02If you've supported England and Crystal Palace for as long
0:03:02 > 0:03:05as I have, you naturally root for the underdog.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Who does she think she is, Beckham, or what?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Can we chest it like him, you know? Give us some "bam".

0:03:25 > 0:03:27is a Punjabi girl, an Indian girl,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29who is fighting against everything...
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- I'm joining a girls' team.- Huh?!
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Her family, who want her to become like a doctor or a lawyer...
0:03:35 > 0:03:37What family will want a daughter-in-law
0:03:37 > 0:03:39who can run around kicking
0:03:39 > 0:03:41football all day but can't make round chapattis?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43They don't want her to play football, so when they find out
0:03:43 > 0:03:47that that's what she's doing, they try and put a stop to it.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49That's it! No more football!
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Cool Runnings,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57it's a classic. The Jamaican bobsleigh team.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03They shouldn't be there. They're a joke.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07We're different. People are always afraid of what's different.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Hey, Jamaica!
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Watch out for number 12 turn. It's scary, eh?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18John Candy somehow makes these four guys into
0:04:18 > 0:04:20potential competitors
0:04:20 > 0:04:21for the Olympics.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34you're losing, you're down and out...
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- I think everybody I fight is a bum. - Well, ain't they?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41The while thing with Rocky, the first movie,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44is that it was the underdog movie.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47You had the talent to become a good fighter!
0:04:47 > 0:04:50And instead of that, you became a leg-breaker, some cheap,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52second-rate loan-shark!
0:04:52 > 0:04:53It's a living.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57My favourite underdog team has got to be in Dodgeball.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59'What a motley crew.'
0:04:59 > 0:05:00'Everything goes wrong.'
0:05:00 > 0:05:02They have the worst team ever.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13But it's brilliant, because every single one of them is an underdog.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18I'm going to send you to hell!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Don't worry, they'll get it together, they always do.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Especially if there is a love interest to win over. But wait!
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Romance and sport don't mix? Wrong.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34As anyone who has been to a gym in LA will tell you, working out
0:05:34 > 0:05:39and making out go together like tight jeans and cowboy boots.

0:05:47 > 0:05:52Hey, driver! Drive these! Wooo!
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Please be 18.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Every sports film these days seems to need the romance story,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00because it can't just be enough
0:06:00 > 0:06:02that you have a man being good at sports,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04there has to be a hook of a love story.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06I'd like to try out for the team.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Hey!
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Hi. My name is Lola Bunny.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11I know she's a rabbit and she's a cartoon,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13but she's actually quite hot.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15You want to play a little one-on-one, doll?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Doll?- Uh-huh!
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- On the court, Bugs.- Sure!
0:06:21 > 0:06:26There tends to be this moment where romance plays a part in a sports
0:06:26 > 0:06:28journey, like Micky Ward, The Fighter.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31He meets this girl.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Come on, let me take you out.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36When?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39You need to have a little bit of romance in the film
0:06:39 > 0:06:42to know that a sportsman is not just sport, sport, sport.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48'The more romance there is in the sports film tends to'
0:06:48 > 0:06:52make you at home, believe that, you know, they're just like us.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- I thought you weren't going to watch. - I lied.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00You absolutely need a good woman to believe in you,
0:07:00 > 0:07:04even when she's faking it. I mean, we do fake it a lot.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06And you need to rev your engine, you need to fire it up,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09and you need to grab a hold of that line between speed and chaos
0:07:09 > 0:07:11and you need to wrestle it to the ground like a demon cobra.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Rocky's got Adrian, hasn't he?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- You look great.- Really?- Oh, yeah.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Terrific. I mean, you could be a heartbreak.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23She's always been by his side, she's always been his rock.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- You want me to rub you down?- No, no, I'm just sore, OK? I'll just...
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Just sit here.- Are you sure? - Yeah, I'm sure.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Everyone used to say, when I got really, really drunk
0:07:32 > 0:07:34back in the day, that I used to look like
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Rocky when he said "Adrian"!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Adrian!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Adrian!- Adrian!
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Adrian!
0:07:41 > 0:07:46- Adrian!- Rocky!- Was it all right? - I love you!- I love you.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Now, in a sports movie you can't just have a hero soaring to victory.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I mean, not everyone is David Hasselhoff.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55So, you need some competition, someone who looks like
0:07:55 > 0:07:59they could kick our underdog's butt, and knows it.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02He's the guy with the killer punch, the 100 percent record,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05and he's got the scowl to go with it.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Step forward, the stony-faced rivals.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10BELL DINGS
0:08:13 > 0:08:16You watch sports to just see how nasty it can get.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22All right, you guys, you know this is for fun,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24so take it easy and give them a good show.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Tomorrow...will be war!
0:08:28 > 0:08:30The bad guy's always more fun.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Meet Fran Stalinovskovichdavidovitchsky.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40You want someone who is comedy evil.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- Arr!- Grahh!- I'm here.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Rivals will do whatever it takes to win.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52May the best man win, huh?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I will destroy him!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02You are evil! Pure evil,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04your whole family is evil!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Dolph Lundgren's Ivan Drago is possibly
0:09:06 > 0:09:09the biggest sports nemesis for me.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Boo! Boo to Ivan Drago.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21He's a guy who kills Rocky's best friend
0:09:21 > 0:09:24within the first 15 minutes of the movie.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31No...!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45And is completely unapologetic about it. He says, "If he dies, he dies."
0:09:45 > 0:09:48If he dies, he dies.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Normally, the perfect sports film is they lose to their biggest rival.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Ah! Jesus!
0:10:09 > 0:10:12And there's that sort of, "Oh no! But I wanted them to win!"
0:10:22 > 0:10:24And then sometimes in the film, they'll come back and win it
0:10:24 > 0:10:26and you just think, "Yep, that's good."
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Son of a bitch!
0:10:33 > 0:10:35'Here come the cars to the finish line.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- 'It's Cole Trickle taking the win!' - All right, all right!
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Beating your rivals, there's no better feeling.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46So, we've got an underachiever
0:10:46 > 0:10:50and an arrogant rival that needs bringing down a peg or two.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54What a sports movie needs now is a grumpy coach with crazy methods.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Now, I've done a bit of coaching myself,
0:10:57 > 0:10:58and find that the best results
0:10:58 > 0:11:01are always achieved by speaking in German.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04IN TRANSLATION FROM GERMAN:
0:11:06 > 0:11:08But whatever the technique,
0:11:08 > 0:11:12all that matters is that our ungrateful hero pays attention.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Let's meet the coaches.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15WHISTLE BLOWS
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Girly, tough ain't enough.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Do something! Tackle somebody,
0:11:23 > 0:11:26don't let these guys chew up the goddamn clock on us!
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Now, you start using your head!
0:11:27 > 0:11:30That's not love, that's three feet above your ass!
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Oh, that's Tom Hanks, from Big, he's so nice,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37and...and he's shouting, but he's good at it.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Are you crying? Are you crying?!
0:11:40 > 0:11:44There's no crying... There's no crying in baseball!
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- There's no crying in baseball. - There's no crying in baseball!
0:11:48 > 0:11:51There's no crying in baseball. There's no crying in baseball!
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Imagine not even understanding your own team.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56They were like aliens to him
0:11:56 > 0:11:58and he had to teach them to play baseball without crying.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Why don't you leave her alone, Jimmy?- Oh, you zip it, Doris!
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Mr Miyagi would be your original Mr Motivator.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09Wax on, right hand. Wax off, left hand.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Daniel has cleaned a car for three days. He's like, "How is this going
0:12:12 > 0:12:15"to help me? All I've done is this." He goes to punch him and he goes...
0:12:21 > 0:12:25I think the grumpy trainer is grumpy because he almost had it,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27but never quite.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30And now he's like some kind of pushy mum.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35Shut up! You guys stink. I thought we came here to play hockey.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40- I knew I forgot something. - Oh, you think it's funny?
0:12:40 > 0:12:41You think losing is funny?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Well, not at first, but once you get the hang of it...
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Emilio Estevez in The Mighty Ducks is
0:12:46 > 0:12:48definitely my favourite grumpy trainer.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I mean, look at what that man has had to go through.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Married to Paula Abdul, a brother of Charlie Sheen,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56and now he's coaching hockey players who don't know what to do.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58That was the sloppiest playing I've ever seen!
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Why the hell won't you just listen to me?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Why the hell should we?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06The grumpiest trainer is Patches O'Houlihan,
0:13:06 > 0:13:08played by the wonderful Rip Torn in Dodgeball.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11The name's Patches O'Houlihan.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12I'm your new coach.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17He's just this wheelchair-bound torrent of rage.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22- You've got to get- mean,- that's the only way you can play!- Well...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I guess, I'm not really an angry person.

0:13:26 > 0:13:27SQUEALS
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Are you angry now?
0:13:29 > 0:13:33He'll just spout it at anyone in his general direction.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35He has some of the most amazingly quotable lines.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41What?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44But enough of that. There is work to do.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47At some point in a sports film, I need the hero to wake up,
0:13:47 > 0:13:51avoid the coffee, and get started on the most punishing
0:13:51 > 0:13:54form of exercise known to man.

0:16:18 > 0:16:22# Fly, fly... #
0:16:22 > 0:16:25There's not many steps, I don't know why he's punching the air,
0:16:25 > 0:16:26celebrating.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say to
0:16:31 > 0:16:35himself, "I can't do this." For me, it was running down the beach
0:16:35 > 0:16:39next to Pamela Anderson while trying to look straight ahead.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41For the dudes in sports movies,
0:16:41 > 0:16:45it's the moment every competitor fears, the set-back.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47It's time to lose the plot
0:16:47 > 0:16:51with some of my favourite sports movie moments of doubt.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56There's got to be a set-back.
0:16:56 > 0:17:03Why, why, why, why, why, why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06At least one big set-back, otherwise it's too easy.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09You don't want to see someone have an easy rise to the top.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- I think I broke my ankle.- What?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Something always goes wrong when someone is on the upward path.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17But I'm not even sure he even knows where he's at right now.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20This makes us all realise the kind of pressure these drivers are under.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Mr Bobby, come on down here!
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Help me, Jesus! Help me, Jewish God!
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Help me, Allah! Aaah! Help me, Tom Cruise!
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Yeah, good example of a set-back in a sports film is in Dodgeball.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Patches O'Houlihan, their coach, leading this shambolic team.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Blockers in the centre, funnelling, aim low
0:17:43 > 0:17:46and will someone catch a goddamn ball?!
0:17:46 > 0:17:50They walk into the lobby and the lighting fitting just falls on him.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- Tomorrow, we're going to pecker-slap those Globo Gym- BLEEP.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- Yeah!- Yeah!- You really think we can beat Globo Gym?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58As long as we've got Patches, we've got a shot.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03'Kills the coach dead, right there and then.'
0:18:03 > 0:18:05You have this moment, this sinking feeling, as do the team.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07They're like, "Well, how are we going to win?
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- '"He was going to teach us everything we needed to know."'- My God.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14And that's what you need. You don't want it to be perfect, you don't
0:18:14 > 0:18:16want them to win everything all the way.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17You have to have that set-back.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- Jamaica, to your positions. - ALL: Respect!
0:18:19 > 0:18:25In Cool Runnings, the set-back is their skis on the bottom of
0:18:25 > 0:18:28their sled, or sledge, or whatever it's called... It's not good.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30They bought a cheap bobsled.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35Feel the rhythm! Feel the ride! Get 'em up! It's bobsleigh time!
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Cool Runnings!
0:18:39 > 0:18:41On their final race, when they're doing really well,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44they've got the kit, they're getting a bit respected...
0:18:44 > 0:18:45'With that rickety old sled,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48'the Jamaicans are flying through the turns.'
0:18:49 > 0:18:50..breaks.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53'This does not look good.'
0:18:53 > 0:18:55And that's it then, isn't it?
0:18:55 > 0:18:56'Oh!'
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I think my favourite set-back is in Happy Gilmore,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04where Carl Weathers dies
0:19:04 > 0:19:07'when Happy Gilmore shows him
0:19:07 > 0:19:10'the head of the crocodile that ate his hand.'
0:19:10 > 0:19:15- Oh, this looks nice! What is it? - Open it up.- Gee...
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Oh, man!- Remember the gator that got your hand?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I got his head!
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Aaarghhh!- Chubbs!
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Chubbs! - 'So, he has a real set-back,'
0:19:25 > 0:19:26he's killed his trainer.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34A truly great victory can only be earned by overcoming adversity.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38When the chips are down and the game is going the wrong way,
0:19:38 > 0:19:42what I need is the speech to end all speeches.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46I've got a bunch that will bring tears to your eyes, right here.
0:19:54 > 0:20:00Great moments... are born from great opportunity.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06You can do this.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08How you play today...
0:20:09 > 0:20:12..from this moment on, is how you...
0:20:14 > 0:20:16..will be remembered.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20This is your time!
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Now go out there and take it.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27CHEERING
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I think just a pat on the back is fine, something like that.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34It is better to die like a tiger than to live like a pussy.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Yeah. Thanks for telling me that, that's all I needed.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40You've got to approach every day like it's your last.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Things are not looking good for Peter in Dodgeball.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44He has basically taken the money and run.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47He has left his team behind at the pivotal moment
0:20:47 > 0:20:48in the dodgeball tournament.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52And who comes in to, you know, give them a bit of a kick
0:20:52 > 0:20:53but Lance Armstrong?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58You know, once I was thinking about quitting when I was diagnosed
0:20:58 > 0:21:01with brain, lung, and testicular the cancer, all at the same time.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04But with the love and support of my friends and family
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I got back on the bike and I won the Tour de France five times.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13And that was a brilliant joke in 2004.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Well, I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19they wouldn't have anything to regret for the rest of their life.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20But good luck to you, Peter.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I'm sure this decision won't haunt you for ever.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25'Now, in 2013,'
0:21:25 > 0:21:27sadly that cameo doesn't work quite as well.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29In fact, I've heard he may actually have that cameo
0:21:29 > 0:21:31stripped from his record.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33The Al Pacino speech in Any Given Sunday
0:21:33 > 0:21:34is genuinely biblical.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38We're in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me.
0:21:38 > 0:21:45- And we can stay here and get the- BLEEP- kicked out of us,
0:21:45 > 0:21:50or we can fight our way back into the light.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52We can climb out of hell...
0:21:54 > 0:21:56..one inch at a time.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58For the whole speech, he talks about inches.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Because we know when we add up all those inches, that is going to
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- make the- BLEEP- difference between winning and losing!
0:22:07 > 0:22:12There's one guy who looks like, like he's OD'd on speech.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Between living and dying!
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Real-life coaches and managers are now playing this speech
0:22:19 > 0:22:22to motivate their own troops. Which saves them the trouble, I guess.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Now, what are you going to do?
0:22:27 > 0:22:31SHOUTING
0:22:32 > 0:22:35You know, sometimes you've got to seize the moment.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39In sports movies, that moment happens right near the end
0:22:39 > 0:22:44as the clock ticks down and our hero has one shot at glory left.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49That is when The Hoff wants a showdown. Bring it on.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50BELL DINGS
0:22:58 > 0:23:01'A good showdown in a sporting movie.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04'There normally has to be a point where the team'
0:23:04 > 0:23:07or the individual look like they're about to lose.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Ah-ha-ha...argh...ah.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21I think American football is a very good one for it,
0:23:21 > 0:23:22when time is about to run out.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29You think, "Oh, God, they're not..."
0:23:29 > 0:23:31They always make it, though. They always make it.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Mom, Mom, Mom!
0:23:39 > 0:23:42And the seven seconds last about 98 seconds
0:23:42 > 0:23:45and everything happens in slow motion.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03So, there's got to be some sort of you're nearly going to die,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05or lose, and then you remember something,
0:24:05 > 0:24:08or think of someone and it just inspires you.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Dad!
0:24:18 > 0:24:20But there needs to be that bit
0:24:20 > 0:24:21where they are losing, and then they win.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35- He did it!- Yeah!
0:24:35 > 0:24:38There's two ways a sports movie ends.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40It's either you win, and everyone goes, "Yay!"
0:24:40 > 0:24:45'I can't believe it, I can't believe it! Marshall has won!'
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Touch down!
0:24:48 > 0:24:52INTENSE CHEERING
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Or you lose, and everyone goes,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57"Yay!" Because you've just done it in such a noble way.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYS, CROWD CHEERS
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Cool Runnings, they don't win the bobsleigh
0:25:05 > 0:25:07when they are up against it.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11But they finish the race, that's the important bit for that film.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19A good sports film isn't necessarily about the team winning
0:25:19 > 0:25:21or succeeding, but they succeed in some way.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I think that's why we get het up by them.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Monsieur Bobby... By defeating me today, you have set me free.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32And for that, I thank you.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38I will never shake your hand. Ever.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42But I will give you this.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54OK, I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58So, I guess I'd better present the trophy to our undisputed
0:25:58 > 0:26:02champion sports movie. It's a true classic that's got everything.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05A down-and-out journeyman who's going nowhere,
0:26:05 > 0:26:09a girl who is with our hero every step of the way, and the greatest
0:26:09 > 0:26:14ever use of a flight of steps on a public building in cinema history.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Why wasn't I in this film?
0:26:17 > 0:26:21The Hoff's Best Sports Film Ever can only be the one, the only...
0:26:24 > 0:26:25..Rocky!
0:26:26 > 0:26:31MUSIC: "Rocky Theme: Gonna Fly Now" by Bill Vito
0:26:36 > 0:26:38The only movie you watch for the boxing is Rocky.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40That's the only boxing movie that's about the boxing.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43'A 50 to 1 underdog living a Cinderella story
0:26:43 > 0:26:46'and he's captured people's imaginations all over the world.'
0:26:46 > 0:26:50It showed me as a kid growing up
0:26:50 > 0:26:55that the unachievable was achievable.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00'I don't believe this! The champ is down.'
0:27:00 > 0:27:04That first one was a low-budget, gritty little movie,
0:27:04 > 0:27:08so for it to win Oscars, which it did do, was a huge achievement.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19It's his struggle and his life and how he turns it around and the
0:27:19 > 0:27:23ending is so good. I think he's a very inspirational character.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29- I love you!- I love you.- I love you! - I love you, I love you.- I love you.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I love you.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Well, it's time for me to hose down the changing room
0:27:37 > 0:27:39and get out of here.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42But before I go, remember, winning isn't just about dedication,
0:27:42 > 0:27:45hard work, reaching the peak of performance.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50It's also about having great chat-up lines, so chicks like you.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52This is The Hoff, signing off.
