I still believe that while he might not have been the biggest or fastest guy out there but he would’ve played his guts out week after week for that team if coach would’ve dressed him and played him. Then again it wouldn’t have led to such a special moment in Rudy’s life.
The first time I showed my wife this movie she said "He worked all those years to play one play? Seems pointless to me!" I guess she just didn't understand.
My dad was one of the best dirt racers in PA I grew up w my mom always telling me “your dad wanted to be the best & I never knew why” I always wanted to be the best dreamed of beating Kyle Larson never did but now I know
They say that the movie wasn't accurate but look at what this guy did. He had the heart of a lion. And has my utmost respect. His story is inspirational.
That custodian dude as his character.......I've gotta find out his name cuz he did such a great job in this. I've had people like him in my life thru in thru out especially when I was really in the throes of self-destruction, so this fills me up with a shitload of gratitude.
That character doesn’t work for me. I find it hard to accept that an ex-player and Notre Dame dropout who quit over racism would stick around as a menial laborer.
@@marklanger1627 Suit yourself, but he didn't quit over racism. He wrongly _perceived_ that he wasn't getting to play _because_ of racism when, in fact, he just wasn't good enough yet. And he doesn't have a menial job. He's the head groundskeeper. That's a good job. You can verify that yourself. Don't take my word for it.
I'm 5'7 and was an athlete when I was a teenager at 5'4 on the varsity wrestling team I didn't win a match, but I never quit. Coach liked my work ethic during practice. And how hard I did the drills. Rudy was the best player on the team.
Actually the best part of this clip was when Jaime O’Hare, the player who hated Rudy the year before, threw the touchdown pass that allowed Rudy to play come over to him and pointed his finger at his chest and said That was for you. No doubt.
0:39 The real Rudy is right behind the dad and his brother in a dark blue coat with his arms up in the air. 4:05-6:17 RUDY, RUDY, RUDY, RUDY, RUDY 6:18-6:52 A score for Rudy 7:16 Rudy enters the game 8:18 Rudy sacks QB 8:46 Rudy gets carried off the field
If you have never been to a game there, then put it on your list and go! Beautiful campus and awesome place to see if you love this movie or just college football in general.
If you ever see the actual play on video, yes Rudy makes the sack but it's more because the middle linebacker rushes the QB forcing him into the side Rudy was on.
Stop it... My family and I are huge fans of this movie and Notre Dame football. My brother Rudy was named after him. But Georgia Tech was a WEAK opponent and had all of their 3rd string players on the field for that last play. Rudy would have been a special teams player at best if he was dressed for games regularly.
According to Joe Montana, who was a freshman at the time, there was no Rudy chant because no one knew who he was. He got carried off the field by two guys as a joke. Still a good movie.
That was Rudy’s highlight getting to play for norte dame yet montana craps on it even though he went on to win super bowls and a hall of fame career pretty petty
@d_avocado0213 Montana was probably right. I worked with ND alums and they all say the real Rudy wasn't that popular of a person then or in recent years.
i wanted to see father cavanagh at the game and that preacher who told him "not everyone is meant for college rudy"......they would have cheering him on!!!
*_I was there. And at that game. And in that game. I Quarterbacked that game. And I don't remember us carrying Rudy or anybody else off that field that day...._** Joe Montana*
Does anyone else seen the resemblance between this clip and what happened at the end of the Championship Game, when Michigan "ignored" the coach's play call and allowed one more touchdown so that a player could score?
Father Cavanagh and Mary should have been there.....and what about the classroom preacher who told Rudy "Not everyone is meant for college".......!!!! That classroom preacher ate his words...how wrong he was about Rudy!!!!
The good part of that story is that it could be "Hollywood-sized", "Broadway sized" or "Independent-film sized" and it would work anyway. It's that good.
@@Kevin-tz2lv Agreed, and I have no problem with that. I always tell people that when a feature film (not a documentary) is "based on a true story," the key words are "based on." That said, "Rudy" takes more liberties than most. Which is fine, it's a really good movie. But a lot of people really believe that all the starters turned in their jerseys and that Notre Dame ran a halfback pass long bomb to give him a chance and that the crowd chanted "Rudy Rudy Rudy!" This was heavily "Hollywood-ized." Again, not a complaint. Just an observation
@mikeholtzclaw3995 I get ya...but I would also say other movies that take liberties that are much more dishonest and damaging. Meaning if people think that scene really happened...oh well....vs a movie like JFK that has a hundred scenes that didn't happen and helped convince people of a conspiracy. I know I'm cherry-picking an example here...but the main point is...if people believe that the jersey scene really happened l...oh well, no harm
@@Kevin-tz2lv I don't think anything about the dramatization of Rudy is damaging. No harm, as you say. As for JFK, a lot of liberties were taken because the movie was being shown from the perspective of Garrison. The point of the movie wasn't that Garrison was right about everything; it was about the idea that there was a certain nobility in his determination to pursue leads in an obviously suspicious crime. And you're right, anyone who believes that everything in JFK happened the way it's show, they are paranoid. But a lot of people are paranoid about the JFK assassination. That's part of the theme of the film.
Probably the most powerful and uplifting sports moment in film history that I’ve ever seen. Truly spectacular in every way. Thank you, Rudy!!!
You need to watch Hoosiers.
@@wesleyhodgin2478 with all due respect, Hoosiers is slow AF and stupid in modern times. Nothing can touch this masterpiece.
@@scottystcloud7086it’s too slow for my 11 year old too.
I cry every time watching this!!!!!!
with all due respect to both of y'all arguing. Hoosiers doesn't have an absolute BANGER score by ya boy Jerry Goldsmith
The real Rudy is behind Rudy's father going nuts when Sean Astin makes that tackle!!!
Holy shit you’re right lol
Fe? Deadass? ~Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz
No matter how many times I watch this it brings me to tears. There is a Rudy in us all..❤❤❤
Has to be the most inspirational & emotional moment in any sports movie ever made.
Best 3 minutes of a game/movie I've ever watched. Cry happy tears every time. And just found out I still do.
This scene still provokes chills!
Watching now and for chills and goosebumps
Thanks Rudy for inspiring my childhood. Everything is possible with hard work and a dream.
70 taping his helmet when he walks up to him is good every time I watch it
The line that always gets me, who's the wild man now!
The sound track to this is just a gut wretching warrior!!
One of Jerry Goldsmith;s finest scores!
@@tomhyland4077he got robbed of the Academy Award too. Criminal that he didn’t win it.
All of that hard work and sacrifice for one moment in time! Truly amazing film
When the grounds superintendent claps and walks away is when I lose it.
Always watch this movie a few weeks before football starts. It really gets you dialed into the spirit of the game!
I am not crying...I am not crying...I am not crying...Ok, I am...
Me too. 😭😭
😊🥹🥹🥹🥲😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥲🥲😅😊☺️
@@tnvol2011 8
Right there with you; I'm tearing up too.
Another one here crying right now...
this is the only movie I've ever cried at, truly beautiful
That background music is so monumentous!
I still believe that while he might not have been the biggest or fastest guy out there but he would’ve played his guts out week after week for that team if coach would’ve dressed him and played him. Then again it wouldn’t have led to such a special moment in Rudy’s life.
Every team needs a lunch pail short guy like Rudy who sucks but works so hard that he is good.
Chills. Brings me chills.
Rudy ..... A very good movie
Between Samwise Gamgee and Rudy, Sean Astin struck cinema gold
hell of a redemption by O'Hare propping Rudy up
Whenever I feel like shit, I watch this scene…..and then I feel great!!!
The first time I showed my wife this movie she said "He worked all those years to play one play? Seems pointless to me!" I guess she just didn't understand.
Tell your wife it's the journey not the destination.
Ask her if she would be president for a day.
Same thing.
they never do - understand!
My dad was one of the best dirt racers in PA I grew up w my mom always telling me “your dad wanted to be the best & I never knew why” I always wanted to be the best dreamed of beating Kyle Larson never did but now I know
That’s rough brother. My mom showed me this movie when I was like 8 because she knew it was necessary.
Vince Vaughn as Jamie O’Hare made me cry when he says to Rudy” That was for you”

“Yes! Yes! Yes! 👏 Go Rudy!!!!”
It's The Music That Always Get's Me
Listen to the real Rudy tell the story. Just as good.
Great movie. Perseverance personified. A rewatch every time I get a chance.
Charles Dutton should've won an Academy Award for his acting in this movie.
Agree. Charles Dutton is amongst the greats and maybe the most underrated.
That fist pump alone should’ve got him a statue
Great actor. But you bars are low.
ROC!!!
Why do I have a knot in my throat I've already seen the damn movie! 😅😂😭😩❤️❤️❤️
Still til this day one of the greatest football moments of all time
I’m 49 years old and I still tear up when I see this scene. Damn I’m soft lol
No bro you're not soft you have a heart
This scene gives me chills every time
Thank you Rudy ❤🙂
Rudy rudy rudy. Let's go Irish. Irish fan for life. Notre dame is a special place no doubt
On my bucket list before I die , I have to see a game at Notre Dame, probably the best wish I could ever get
Been waiting his whole life to play and then says what do I do?! Lol
He meant do I stay in or not.
"Play all the seniors!"
"What about Rudy!?"
"No! Absolutely not."
At 8:43 the guy that his dad is hitting to celebrate the play is the real Rudy
I just love this movie. Can't count the number of times I watched it.
That's okay every time I watch it I end up crying it's just such a touching movie he's such a sweetheart
Whats Devine saying at 1:30: Sounds like "what the hell! He's.......the line !"
Cool Fact: the GT QB Rudy sacks in the final play is also named Rudy.
That's some players that understand what team means.
“He only got 2 plays!?!?”
“You Just don’t understand.”
LEGENDARY!
Am not crying 😢
Actually the best part of this clip was when Jaime O’Hare, the player who hated Rudy the year before, threw the touchdown pass that allowed Rudy to play come over to him and pointed his finger at his chest and said That was for you. No doubt.
To be…the best part was him beating the academics component. Something about that last letter always gets me.
0:39 The real Rudy is right behind the dad and his brother in a dark blue coat with his arms up in the air.
4:05-6:17 RUDY, RUDY, RUDY, RUDY, RUDY
6:18-6:52 A score for Rudy
7:16 Rudy enters the game
8:18 Rudy sacks QB
8:46 Rudy gets carried off the field
Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!
That hits the Heart
Hoosiers And This Movie Alway's Make Me Tear Up
If you have never been to a game there, then put it on your list and go! Beautiful campus and awesome place to see if you love this movie or just college football in general.
every Thanksgiving this movie is played at my house
Hes like 5 6... he made the records
Absolutely amazing
When Frank gives his nod of respect. Wow cry emoji
Rudy ..... Based on a true story
If you ever see the actual play on video, yes Rudy makes the sack but it's more because the middle linebacker rushes the QB forcing him into the side Rudy was on.
"Fortune" aka Charles S Dutton should have been a Notre Dame Coach!
The coaches were NOT surprised. Max effort gets results.
I bet Rudy made that tackle for Pete too!!! Would have been great if Pete was at the game if he didn't die in the accident....he would have gone nuts!
Take a drink every time Rudy mentions Notre Dame or Notre Dame football
WE GOT THIS!!! VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!
Man I be the old gaffer was proud!
I wanted to see Devine's reaction after Rudy made the tackle!!! It would have been "I should have played this guy from the very beginning!"
Stop it... My family and I are huge fans of this movie and Notre Dame football. My brother Rudy was named after him. But Georgia Tech was a WEAK opponent and had all of their 3rd string players on the field for that last play.

@@rachelkessinger2295 RUDY is the MVP naturally!!!!
@@Anonymous-qg9xx yes MVP of the practice squad by farrrr
No
The overachiever is blessed.
He still lined up offsides lol
According to Joe Montana, who was a freshman at the time, there was no Rudy chant because no one knew who he was. He got carried off the field by two guys as a joke. Still a good movie.
That was Rudy’s highlight getting to play for norte dame yet montana craps on it even though he went on to win super bowls and a hall of fame career pretty petty

Blatant hold at 2:35
This cures depression.
Go rudy!
Fun fact 5:14 the guy who Rudy’s dads looking at is the real Rudy
Never give up your dream
we should have saw Mary at the game too!!!
最高や！
What is this song called again?! I've heard it so many times, haha
*_I was there. And at that game. And in that game. I Quarterbacked that game. And I don't remember us carrying Rudy or anybody else off that field that day...._** Joe Montana*
Hard to believe this amazing film turned 30 last Sunday..October 15....the day after The Irish destroyed my USC Trojans 48-20.....
Bergan Was A Bad Dude 😤😈🏈🔥
Our Lady, Queen of Victory, pray for us
Damn...Ok, I can watch this ten times a day and I'll cry every time

Not meant for college? Yet he goes on to get a degree from ND
This is brock Purdys theme song for Sunday
A reminder to all coaches....players want to play. Its a team sport, dont be so selfish as to ignore the human element. Its just a game.
When they hoist him up with Touchdown Jesus in the background.. #GOIRISH
Norte Dame wouldn’t have got very far at all without Samwise!
I keep forgetting that Jamie O’Hare is Vince Vaughn
My oldest cousin was in a few scenes of this part of the movie..as an extra cop
actually the real rudy did not sack the QB by himself as portraid in the film.
Your right, he was credited with a assist.
The grounds keeper most important fgure....,or there'd be no Rudy in history.
Extremely touching scene!!!
The Mordorboy.
Who’s the wild man now?!
Is that Vince Vaughn as the receiver that says we gotta score?
Yep that is Vince Vaughn.
Here's a story that was "Hollywood-ized" to a silly degree, but it's still so much fun to watch.
The good part of that story is that it could be "Hollywood-sized", "Broadway sized" or "Independent-film sized" and it would work anyway. It's that good.
