OT: Sudden Death film

[SuburbanRhythm]

Sudden Death was also the silver screen debut for this legend

 

[cajal]

Was inside twice with the roof open - once for a Pittsburgh Triangles World Team Tennis match, and the other a concert, I think the PSO. I recall the sound similarly to how Jacob does above (although I only saw it working the one time, the other the roof was already open).

I was there in the late 70s for a Shriner's circus when the roof was open. They made a big deal of it with the spotlights before finally opening the roof, it was awesome.

So we're all in agreement, Sudden Death is the greatest hockey movie of all time!

I watched it (for the umpteenth time) the night before game 6. You're welcome.

I've only actually seen it that one time in theaters I think. I'm afraid, like most things from my childhood, it'll be much worse than I remember.

Compared to what, though?

Nah, Slap Shot still is king.

 

[DesertPenguin]

me too, wonder if it was the same game

Lol, I think I was at this game too, which is eerie. I'm sure they did it more than once, but I doubt it was every game.

I was really excited for it, and then when they opened it like 5 degrees, I was pretty bummed.

Can we talk about why it was Tolliver(impersonated by JCVD) and Wregget in net? Did Barrasso just not consent to using his name in the film?

 

[Jacob]

Isn't that around the time his wife stabbed him with scissors or whatever?

That's exactly it. And IIRC he was the only Penguin not to give his consent. Not that anybody was surprised...

I'm watching this movie right now. Caufield was jacked!
