Better Bad Football Movie: Necessary Roughness vs. The Replacements (3 Viewers)

[Hov34]

Keanu vs. Sinbad

Good luck.

 

[kentric]

Keanu Reeves as a football player???   I would have probably liked the movie if they cast pretty much anyone else (including women) to play the main role.

The premise was fine though.

Scott Bakula as a QB was also a stretch, but it was easier to stomach.

 

[acarey50]

Both are guilty pleasures, but I prefer The Replacements

 

[MarvinTScamper]

both were terrible.  Sinbad has had some awesomely funny standup routines though, so I'll take him (and Kathy Ireland)

 

[RokNRole]

Neither is a bad movie.

That being said the Replacements is better

If Eli is a successful pro QB with his demeanor I don't think anyone is a stretch.

Eli may look like Opie, but he can take a licking.  Keanu would fold like a house of cards.

He's an actor

Replacements is the better movie but Necessary Roughness had peak Kathy Ireland  

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Neither is a bad movie.

wat

 

[Jayrok]

The Replacements was funny, imo.  I don't remember the other one with Sinbad being that funny.  

 

[Jayrod]

The Replacements is an awesome guy movie. I stop to watch for a while every time I catch it on TV.

Me and some other rookies reenacted the I Will Survive jail scene at a college ref meeting last year.  We got a standing ovation.

 

[RokNRole]

wat

Just realized I confused Nevcessary Roughness with The Program.

Dont think I've seen NR. If I did it was ages ago so I couldn't comment on it. The Replacements is certainly not a bad movie. Not something I would spend money to rent but it's a great comedy to watch when it comes on cable and you are spending the night in.

What were people expecting from it?

 

[Ned]

The Replacements was worth watching just for Annabelle.

 

[RokNRole]

Can't believe the Replacements is 17 years old

 

[B Maverick]

The Replacements was worth watching just for Annabelle.

vs Kathy Ireland

I enjoy both movies and end up watching either if on.  

 

[kentric]

He's an actor

An actor playing a Professional QB.  I just don't see it.  Different strokes.

 

[Hov34]

Just looked this part up.

Necessary Roughness Convict Roster:

Earl Campbell ...

Roger Craig ...

Ben Davidson ... (computer fraud)

Tony Dorsett ...

Evander Holyfield ...

Ed 'Too Tall' Jones ...

Jim Kelly ...

Jerry Rice ...

Herschel Walker ...

Randy White ...

 

[Brony]

Better movie, or more embarrassing guilty pleasure?

What actors around at that time do you feel would have been believable in that role?

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

And just last night I had a dream about Kathy Ireland and Gus the Place Kicking Mule.  Its a reoccurring dream actually. 

 

[kentric]

Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Will Smith, James Franco, Denzel, pretty much anyone else.  Maybe excluding Tom Cruise as you'd need to get mini me offensive linemen.  

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Necessary Roughness knows it's a joke. I'd rather watch that if I'm killing an afternoon watching tv.

Hmm DW....

...Freud could have a field day with this.

Mule-Penis Envy perhaps? 

Nah...

...not you.

Sometimes a Mule-#### is just a Mule-####.

Freud was a freak anyways. 

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Eli may look like Opie, but he can take a licking.  Keanu would fold like a house of cards.

Never seen John Wick? 

 

[kentric]

Never seen John Wick? 

I have.  Actually went in with an open mind and tried to like it.  Guess I just don't like Keanu.  His acting ability is terrible IMO.

Yeah he was,  Still, I'd invite him over if he were still around.  He always had good cigars and good blow and he would be around 150 years old so how much trouble could he be?

Mules are hung, but also sterile.

[Peak]

Enjoy both movies.  I still laugh at the "Blow the whistle! Blow the whistle!" scene from Unnecessary Roughness.  But I lean more towards The Replacements in this poll.  More laughs can be found in The Replacements vs Unnecessary Roughness.  (Flipping the car over, to the "wirey" kicker, to the jail scene, to the cheerleaders, to players being afraid of spiders and bees) 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Keanu Reeves as a football player???

Johnny Utah was a hell of a college QB until he blew out his knee.

 

[Buckna]

Flawed, neither are bad, both are pretty fun little football movies. Texas State Fightin' Armadillo's has been one of my dynasty fantasy team names for over 10 years now.

 

[rockaction]

Agree with the above comment, but gonna go with the Replacements because the cheerleaders were strippers from the D.C. area doing dances to Donna Summer. 

Like the alliteration there? So did I.  

 

[sho nuff]

I thought you were gonna do one of these...

I often quote this when throwing football to my son in the pool if I make a bad throw.

 

[Cold Dead Hands]

Bad? What the #### do you know? Spectacular is more like it. Commie.

 

[Maik Jeaunz]

Replacements: slutty cheerleaders and Jon Favreau as a psychotic linebacker.

 

[RokNRole]

Necessary Roughness knows it's a joke. I'd rather watch that if I'm killing an afternoon watching tv. 

I think the Replacements know it's a joke too

Like spiders on the field?
