Let's go! Let's go!

- Hold on a minute.
- All right, come on.

Here we go.

Ah. This is good.

Okay, this is it.

- Everybody climb in.
- Hold up. I don't understand.

- We're not going to push start?
- No, we're going to push start
next time.

For your first run, I'm just going
to nudge you off, okay? Everybody in.

Let's go, let's go.
Come on. Come on.

- Don't touch me!
- Hey, Baldy, get off my foot!

- Don't touch me!
- Here you go. Come on.

Hey, Blitzer, why don't you put
some training wheels on that sled?

That's funny. Very funny.

You want to kiss my egg?

I'm not kissing no egg.

- Suit yourself.
- Now, listen up, fellas.

- I don't want you to worry
about looking good out there.
- Ah, Blitzie.

You going to tuck them in too?

Hey-- Seeming to you
like nobody likes us?

We're different. People are always
afraid of what's different.

Hey, Jamaica.

Watch out for number 12 turn.
It's scary, huh?

- What's his problem?
- He's Josef Grool.

He's one of the best drivers
in the world.

Yeah, he's one of the biggest
assholes in the world too.

Well, don't listen to him.
You listen to me.

Derice, right here.
You got it?

Remember, keep your hands soft
and your mind clear.

- High in, low out. What is it?
- High in, low out.

All right, put your helmets on,
everybody! Let's go!

Here we go! Come on!
Helmets on!

- Hey, Coach.
- Yeah?

I can't get my helmet on!
Oh, thanks, Coach.

- That's what I'm here for.
- Oh. Coach?

- Yeah.
- I got to go, you know.

- Hold it.
- Hold it?
- Hold it.
- Hold it?

- Yeah, hold it!
- B-But, Coach, I can't hold it!
We're not bobsledding yet.

- Oh, yes, we are.
- Coach! Coach!

Coach!

Coach! Coach!

Bob in track.

Coach!

Slow down! Oh! Slow it down!
Slow down! Slow it down!

Oh, my god! Oh!
Oh, Derice! Oh, Derice!

I hate you!
I hate you! I hate you!

Whoa!

Sanka, you dead?

Yeah, man.

Well, you can pee now.

Ohh. Too late.

This is embarrassing.

Man, shut down that
hot plate, fool.

Those bananas are stinking
like a dead dog.

Back off! Back off, you eight-ball!
This is my mama's secret recipe.

And I hope you don't mind keeping quiet
while I catch up on my reading.

What are you talking about, reading?
This is a children's book.

- Oh, is that so?
- Yes, that's so.

Well, if it's a children's book,
that means it's too advanced
for the likes of you.

What are you trying to say, that I'm
not smarter than a little child?

No, what I am saying to you...

is that you are the kind of
club-totin', raw meat-eatin',
me-Tarzan-you-Jane-in'...

big, bald bubblehead that
can only count to ten if he's
barefoot or wearing sandals.

Say whatever it is
that you want...

'cause you're just like every
other fool on the island.

You're going nowhere, Sanka,
and you're thrilled to death about it.

But you see me?
You see me?

I'm different,
'cause I know exactly...

where I'm going...

and after l, Yul Brenner, win
the Olympics and become famous...

I'm going to leave the island...

and live right down there.

What are you laughing about?

- What are you laughing about?
- That's Buckingham Palace.

You plan on living there, you're
going to have to marry the Queen.

Yul, that's where
the Queen of England lives.

Face it, Yul Brenner-- You can
start calling yourself Madonna...

but you're still going to end up
in an outhouse shanty like every
other dock-working nobody.

- Mm, says who?
- Says me, rich boy.
What do you know about it?

Well, I know my father
started off in a one-room hut.

- Now he lives in one of the
biggest homes in Kingston.
- Well, he ain't your father.

He doesn't have to be.

All he has to do is know what
he wants and work hard for it.

And if he wants it bad enough,
he'll get it.

Look, believe me, Sanka...

the more Yul Brenners we got
making it in this world...

the better off this world will
be, especially for Jamaicans.

Go ahead, Yul Brenner.

Go get your palace.

Move! Move!

Bob in track.

What do you have in there,
a baby?

-I can't believe you're still cold, man.
-Cold?

I'm freezing my royal
Rastafarian nay-nays off!

All right, we're up!
Let's go, guys, this is it!

Give me that!

Okay, now, this is our first real push
start. But don't worry about it, okay?

I-lt's no different
than what we've practised.
We've done it a hundred times.

Derice.
Right here.

- Okay, get your helmets on.
- Coach!

- Okay, okay.
- Thanks, Coach.

All right, let's go, Derice.
It's yours.

- Ridiculous. What's he doing?
- Ready?

One...

two...

three!

- Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
- Hold on! Wait! Hold on!

Now! Now! Now!

Now!

- Those guys are
pretty good, aren't they?
- Good? They're the best.

So you guys been having a
little trouble out there, huh?

- Ah, we'll be fine.
- I sure hope so.

That'd be a real shame
to waste all that talent.

I'm not worried.
And we have a good coach.

Kid, I hate to say it,
but, uh, you got to wake up.

Coach Blitzer is what's killing
you; he's been useless since
the day he was busted.

- What you mean, "busted"?
- The '72 Games.

The guy hid weights in the front
of the sled to make it go faster.

So what? It's no big deal.

Having your gold medals taken away
for cheating is a big deal.

Derice! Let's go.
We got a meeting.

Giving my kid
a few pointers, Larry?

"Your kid" is going to need
all the help he can get...

Coach.

Maid service, sir. Would you
like your bed turned down?

Mint? Perhaps I could
dust your head.

Whatever's wrong with you
is no little thing.

Hurry up, man. I have a dead
grandmother that moves faster than you.

Wait, wait.

What that fool want now?

What?

Sorry.

- What do you have there, man?
- A telegram.

I know it's a telegram.
What does it say?

It's from my father.

He says I have to come home
right now.

Workin'

Workin' for my payday

Every time payday comes

You know I'm down
to my last

Well, I'm dreamin'

Dreamin' of you all day

When the work day's done
we're gonna love that night away

'Cause we're goin' nowhere
and we're gettin' there fast

When we finally make it
we can both look back

On these hard times

- Just for a laugh
- Hi!

- Howdy, partner.
- 'Cause when you got love
you don't need too much money

I'm in love with you
and don't you know, honey

We're goin' nowhere

- And we're gettin' there fast
- You've worked too hard and too long!

And let me tell you
something else, Junior Bevil.

If it wasn't for you,
we wouldn't be here right now.

Oh, wait.
But you don't understand.

He is really mad.

I mean, you don't know him
like I do, you know.

I think I'd better just
do what he wants...

and go back home.

And forget about your teammates.

Blood fire!

The man, you act like he's
the king of the whole world.

But what should I do?
What should I do?

Hey, Jamaica, keep it down!
You are not owning this place.

Sorry, sir, sorry. I didn't--
I didn't mean to bother anyone.

You have no business here,
Jamaica.

You and your stupid friend
playing like you are bobsledders, ja.

Why don't you tourists go back
to where it is you came from...

and leave the bobsledding
to the real men.

Well, I'm, uh--
I'm a real man.

You want to say something,
Jamaica? Come on, out with it.

You know that money can't buy

This feeling

That we're sharing tonight

'Cause we're goin' nowhere
and we're gettin' there fast

Come on, man.
Come on! Right now!

Now, look in the mirror
and tell me what you see.

- I see Junior.
- You see Junior.

Well, you want to know what I
see? I see pride. I see power!

I see a badass mother who don't
take no crap off nobody!

- You really see all that?
- Yeah, man.

But it's not about what I see.
It's about what you see.

Now, look in this mirror and
tell me again what you see.

I see--

- Pride!
- Pride! Right.

- Power!
- Power.

- And I see--
- A badass mother--

- Who don't take no crap--
- Off of nobody!

- Again!
- I see pride!

- Can't hear you!
- I see power!

I see a badass mother
who won't take no crap off of nobody!

- Once again!
- I see pride!

- Junior!
- I see power!

I see a badass mother
who won't take no crap off of nobody!

- That's right!
- That's right! Junior Bevil!

Where ya-- W--
Where he going?

Pride. Power. Pride.

Now, you listen to me, buddy.

I will not be talked to that
way, so you'd better come up
with a damn good apology...

- or else.
- Or else what?

Ow.

Eh, Jamaica?

Or else what?

Come on, Jamaica.

Say something.

No problem, man.

Excuse me, missy!

That hurt! Get off!

I can't believe this.

I just can't believe this.

Didn't one of you have the sense
to know better? Go on. Laugh.

I wanna see who's laughin'
when lrv gets here.

Now wait, wait.

When that East German fellow
go out and push my teammate...

then blood fire,
we have to fight back.

You don't see the Swiss
team fightin', do you?

You don't see the Swiss team
drinkin' and carryin' on and such.

And you don't see the Swiss
team smilin' neither.

In fact, if one of those Swiss boys
ever come across a pretty girl...

he probably yell,
"Eins, zwei, drei..."

and try to push her
down some ice.

- What happened?
- Oh, I took care of the whole thing.

I told the owner of the bar
these guys were...

mentally disturbed, so he's
not gonna press any charges.

All right, sled god
does it again.

Just shut up, Sanka.

Now maybe you
haven't noticed...

but we aren't exactly winning
any popularity contests here.

They hate me, they hate you,
they hate us.

Now, if we're even gonna
think about qualifying...

we're each gonna have to sit down
and take a nice, deep look inside.

I didn't come all this way
to get my butt whipped.

As a matter of fact, now that
I'm here, I thought I'd do
a little whippin' of my own.

Good night, gentlemen.

Rise and shine!

It's butt-whipping time.

Rise above it

Rise above it

Not bad.
Pick it up though.

Come on, come on, come on,
come on. Now, now, now!

Just rise above it
Come on and rise above it

- Good. That's it.
- Even though the road
seems very long and narrow

- Five more. Come on. Five more.
Push it, push it. Come on.
- Baby need to sharpen his pin

- Just like an arrow
- That's it, that's it.

- Got-a no place to go
- That's it. Good, good.

- Good. You're doin' fine.
You got anymore?
- Believe us, baby

Come on! Come on! Get in!

Oh! Wait! Hey! Help!

You gotta learn to
believe in yourself, yeah

Listen, little man, there ain't
nothin' you can't achieve if
you work hard and sacrifice

- Hear me now
- If you've got a problem

- You've got to rise above it
Yes, you do
- Go, go, go, go, go! That's it.

- And when you face a challenge
- You gotta grip with your toes. Go! Go!

- You got to rise above it It's so large
- Now! Now!

If those storm clouds
reappear, oh, yes

You don't ever have to fear
Just rise above it

- You have got to
- Rise above it

I tell ya once
and I tell ya twice

You know, you're gonna have to
do this on your own one day.

Just one man
and a thousand eyes

Come now, come now
and take my advice

Rise above it

Rise above it

- Rise above it
- Go, go, go, go, go!

Now, now, now, now, now!

- Straight. Right.
- Turn six. Turn seven.

- Straight. Right.
- Turn eight.

- Follow me, follow me
follow me, follow me
- Rise above it

- That's it! That's it! That's it!
- Rise above it

- Rise above it
- You can do it

- Rise above it
- You can do it

Okay, guys.

Tonight's the night.

Now in a few minutes, you're gonna
get a chance to do something...

that no one in your country
has ever done.

I was gonna save this for
the Olympics, but I figure...

if we're going to convince
these judges...

that we are
world-class sledders...

then we had better look
like world-class sledders.

- Whoa, man.
- Yes.

Nice.

I freeze in this.

Bob in track.

Hello, gentlemen.

Irv, this is Karl Shindler.
He'll be watching the middle track.

- How do you do?
- And this is August Gremmer.

He'll be judging
the push starts.

- Hi.
- I'm your third official
up in the tower.

You. What happened
to Kroychzech?

He came down sick this morning.
I'm taking his place.

Oh, goody.

Oh, the Alliance has decided
to change the qualifying time...

from a minute-two
to a minute-flat.

Is that clear?

No problem, man.

Go get 'em, kid.

Track is clear
for Jamaica One.

Eins, zwei, drei.

Go, go, go!
Now, now, now, now!

- All right, what was that time?
- 6.13.

Under 60?
ls it under 60?

59-point-si--!

I'm, uh-- I'm sorry.
I'm outta here. That's terrific.

Derice!

- Ah, no, it's great.
- They couldn't beat us.

- I know we were the best.
- Yeah.

- ...inspired you guys, that's all.
- You were great, all of ya.

Nobody had that much fun
in a sled since Santy Claus.

Fellas, here's to
followin' your dreams.

- Yeah, man.
- Followin' your dreams.

I said it to your father the first time
I met him, and I'll say it again.

Sprinters make
the best bobsledders.

Here's to sprinting.

So what are we gonna
name the sled?

How about "Tallulah"?

- That's hot. Tallulah.
- Tallulah. Tallulah.

Sounds like a two-dollar hooker.
How you come up with that?

Hey, you idiot,
that's my mother's name.

- It's a pretty name.
- Tallulah. I like that.

So what's it gonna be, star?

What are the people gonna be screamin'
when Jamaica takes the hill?

I say we call it
"Cool Runnings."

- Beautiful.
- I like it.

- It's very strong.
- Nice. Very nice.

Uh, what exactly
does it mean?

"Cool runnings" means
"Peace be the journey."

- Peace be the journey.
- Peace be the journey.

- Cool runnings.
- Cool runnings.

- Cool runnings.
- E-Excuse me.

To the man
in the orange suit!

To the orange!
To the man in the orange!

- To the messenger.
- To the messenger.
- To the messenger.

We are officially
disqualified.

Excuse me, gentlemen. Kurt,
I really have to talk to you.

Excuse me, lrv. I've
nothing to say to you.

Yes, you do.

- I want to know why
you disqualified my guys.
- As you were told...

your team must compete in
an international race in order
to qualify for the Olympics.

But in an Olympic year...

the qualifiers count
as an international race.

That may have been true
in past Olympic years...

but this year, the Alliance
decided to change its policy.

Oh, please!
Change its policy?

The Alliance has the right to do
whatever they feel is in the
best interest of the sport.

We must also be concerned about
the potential for embarrassment.

Oh, forgive me.
I didn't realize...

that four black guys in
a bobsled could make you blush.

I think we've heard enough.

Come on, Kurt. What you're doin'
is wrong and you know it.

Now, if this is about
you and me...

then let's get it straight
right now.

All right, 16 years ago, I made
the biggest mistake of my life.

I cheated.
I was stupid.

I embarrassed myself,
my family...

my teammates,
my country and my coach.

If it's revenge you want,
take it.

Go ahead.
Disqualify me. Banish me.

Do whatever you want,
but do it to me.

It was me who let you down,
Kurt. It wasn't my guys.

They've done everything you've
asked of them, and they did it...

with all of you
laughing in their face.

Hell, it doesn't matter
if they come in first or 50th.

Those guys have earned the right
to represent their country.

They've earned the right...

to march into that stadium
and wave their nation's flag.

That's the single
greatest honour...

an athlete
could ever have.

That's what the Olympics
are about.

Sixteen years ago,
I forgot that.

Don't you go
and do the same.

Sorry if I interrupted
your meeting.

Hello. Yes?

Yeah.

Right. Goodbye.

- What?
- That was the Alliance.

- God.
- What did they say?

Oh, they said
we're back in.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

And a lot is expected
of the ltalian team.

Did I miss it?
Did I miss it?

No, child.
You didn't miss a thing.

...of Jamaica made it
all the way here to Calgary...

to compete
in the bobsled event.

Their flag bearer is
the sled captain Derice Bannock.

Derice's father, Ben Bannock, was
a gold medalist in the 200 metres...

at the Summer Olympic games
over 20 years ago.

And perhaps there's gold in
two generations of this family.

That's quite a story.
The Jamaican bobsled team.

It's a beautiful afternoon in Calgary,
and there is a lot more coming up.

So stay tuned for
more exciting coverage...

of the opening ceremonies
of the 15th Winter Olympiad...

from Calgary,
Alberta, Canada.

Gentlemen, let's go
check into our new home.

Come on, Junior.

Junior! Hey!

Junior.

Now a lot of coaches would be
giving you one of those, uh...

"Win one for the Gipper"
speeches.

I'm not good at that stuff.
Instead, I thought I'd, uh...

Iead you in a psalm
of inspiration.

Let's bow our heads.

Who's the "Gipper"?

Our Father who art in Calgary,
bobsled be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come,
gold medals won...

on Earth as it is
in turn seven.

With liberty and justice
for Jamaica and Haile Selassie.

- Amen.
- All right!

- Yes!
- Respect.

- All right.
- Jah Rastafari.

Junior.

Now you listen to me, boy.

You might not have done
what you were asked...

but you will do
what you're told.

- You're coming home.
- Yeah, but, Father,
you know I just want--

But nothing.

I didn't send you
to the finest school...

for you to go around
sliding on your backside.

- You must be mad.
- Yeah, but the team needs me.

I don't want to hear
any more of it.

Go and get your things.

I'll wait in the lobby.

Pride. Power.

Father, when you look
at me, what do you see?

I don't have time
for games, Junior.

Tell me what ya see!

Please.

All right, I'll tell you
what I see.

I see a lost little boy...

who's lucky to have a father
who knows what's best for him.

No, no, no, no. You don't know
what's best for me, Father.

I am not a lost
little boy, Father.

I am a man.

And I'm an Olympian.

I'm stayin' right here.

Hey, Junior Bevil.

You're a badass mother.

- Here, l-l got a couple.
- I like this one. Yes.

O Canada, indeed. This is AI Trautwig
along with John Morgan.

We're live at Olympic Park,
the brand-new bobsledding venue...

just a few miles outside
of downtown Calgary.

Everybody, shut up.
It's starting.

...extremely intense, exciting
competition for the next three days.

I am feeling very Olympic
today. How about you?

Uh, this sport, as we well know,
us made up of athletes...

who go to the edge and sometimes
beyond, and it is why we believe...

the next three days is going to be
extremely competitive and exciting.

And already, John, on day one,
we're starting things off
with a gold medal favourite.

Well, the Swiss were fortunate enough
to draw number one in the competition.

We gotta make them the odds-on
favourite to win the gold.

But the East Germans, they're comin'
off the gold medal win in 1984.

The Canadians, it's their home track.
You gotta favour them too.

And they've been doin'
very well in practise all week.

Eins, zwei, drei.

One! Two! Three! Go!

- Eighty miles an hour or close to it.
- You know, Al,

I'm lookin' at the times here, and
the course is gettin' extremely fast.

And I was worried about that Austrian
team's safety in that last big...

180-degree whiparound that draws
four G's of force on the athletes.

Well, if you were worried about
them, what are you thinking
about our last and next team?

Yes, it certainly seems
strange that surrounded by
the ice and snow of Calgary,

we are about to watch a team
from the tiny island of Jamaica.

- From Jamaica!
- Quite a story for them
to even get here.

They came out of nowhere. And
you know, there's a lot of teams
up here on top of the hill...

that sort of feel the Jamaicans
don't belong here.

- Hey! Hey!
- Hey, what are you doin', man?

- What are you doing?
- That's what the Swiss do
to psych themselves up.

They also make them little pocketknives,
too, but I don't see you doin' that.

All right, guys, we're up. Come on. Hey,
knock it off. Knock it off, will ya?

Okay. Let's go.
Come on.

Take your start positions.
Remember, we don't have to win
the gold in the first day.

- It's just like any other run.
- Except this time...

100 million people watching.

Derice, did you forget
something? Thank you.

- Ready.
- Ready.

- Ready.
- Ready.

Eins, zwei, drei.

Go! Go, go, go, go! Go!

- Get in! Get in!
- As the Jamaican team attempts
its first ever...

winter Olympic event,
and look at this.

They've gotta get into that sled.
I've never seen anything like this.

I know it's not funny,
but how embarrassing.

Now, thank goodness. For
a minute, I didn't think they'd
ever get all four of them in.

And that could've been
a disaster.

C-Come on!

Well, most importantly here,
when you do get in the sled...

you have to get in with catlike
movements, get in, get relaxed.

Ooh, look at that high line at
Omega! He bounces off the wall,
ricochets like a pinball.

You know, the driver here,
Derice Bannock, looks like
the sled's really drivin' him.

- That fool better watch his mouth.
- He better watch more than that.

This is the time when this team
may be thinking, "This may not
have been such a great idea."

Their heads are bouncing around.
This is amazing.

Like rag dolls as they come
through the finish...

at a time of 58.04...

which will be good enough
for last place.

You choked. It was yours for
the taking, and you choked.

You were ready,
and ya choked.

Well, maybe we should
go over the turns again?

You know the turns.

You know everything there is
to know about this sport.

I'll tell you somethin'.
You had all better figure out...

how to stay loose out there.

That's somethin'
I can't help you with.

I'll see you tomorrow
on the hill.

You know, when the Swiss
want to get relaxed--

Will you shut up
about the damn Swiss?

I mean, it was all that "eins,
zwei, drei" nonsense that got us
all nervous in the first place.

Hey, man, look here. I'm just tryin'
to get us off on the right foot.

Well, the right foot for us
is not the Swiss foot.

I mean, come on, Derice. We
can't be copyin' nobody else's
style. We have our own style.

Kissin' an egg
is no kind of style.

It's the Olympics here.
It's no stupid pushcart derby.

Let me tell ya
somethin', Rasta.

I didn't come up here to forget
who I am and where I come from.

And neither did l. I'm just
tryin' to be the best I can be.

So am l. And the best
I can be is Jamaican.

Look. Derice, I've known you since Julie
Jeffries asked to see your ding-a-ling.

And I'm telling you
as a friend...

if we look Jamaican,
walk Jamaican...

talk Jamaican
and is Jamaican...

then we sure as hell
better bobsled Jamaican.

Greetings from Jamaica

'Nuff people will say
you know they can't believe

Jamaica we have
a bobsled team

'Nuff people say
you know they can't believe

Jamaica we have
a bobsled team

We have the one Derice
and the one Junior

- Thank you.
- Yul Brenner and the man Sanka

The fastest of the fastest
of Jamaican sprinters

Respect to the man
lrv Blitzer

- All right, gentlemen, this is it.
- Respect.

- Respect! Whoo!
- All right.
- Let's go!

We now come to the second chance for
the four intrepid men from Jamaica.

- What do they have to do, John?
- In reality, Al, I don't think
the Jamaicans...

- have any chance of winning a medal.
- Dear God!

Just let them be better
than yesterday.

- Ready.
- Ready.

Feel the rhythm!
Feel the rhyme!

Get on up!
It's bobsled time!

Cool runnings!

Bob in track.

That's a hair faster than the
Swiss. Boy, that's a real big
difference from yesterday.

Well, this is an absolute shock
in the making. Yesterday...

- they were falling down
almost at the start.
- Yes!

Now they slide into place. Yesterday,
their heads were bobbing everywhere.

Today, they're
almost in unison.

- Can this really be happening?
- Boy, what a difference!

Flying through the Omega,
looking possessed here. It's not
the same team we saw yesterday.

- Where did these guys come from?
- Jamaica!

Wow! 56.53!

Whoo-hoo! Yes! Yes!

- Did you hear that time? Yes!
- Yeah.

- That moves them up into 8th place.
- Watch out, world.

The Jamaicans are coming.

Derice, you in here?

Hey, Coach.

Oh, there ya are.
How you feelin'?

- All right.
- Good, good.

You all set to follow
in your father's footsteps?

- I think so.
- You think so?

- All right, I know so.
- That's more like it.

We're gonna go grab a bite
to eat. You wanna join us?

- Nah.
- I didn't think so. I'll
pick you somethin' up.

- Hey, Coach.
- Yeah.

- I have to ask you a question.
- Sure.

But you don't have to answer
if you don't want to.

I mean, I want you to, but
if you can't, I understand.

You wanna know why
I cheated, right?

Yes, I do.

That's a fair question.

It's quite simple, really.

I had to win.

You see, Derice...

I'd made winning
my whole life...

and when you make winning
your whole life...

ya have to keep on winning,
no matter what.

You understand that?

No, I don't understand, Coach.

You had two gold medals.
You had it all.

Derice...

a gold medal
is a wonderful thing.

But if you're not enough
without it...

you'll never be enough
with it.

Hey, Coach...

how will I know
if I'm enough?

When you cross that
finish line, you'll know.

Welcome back to the bobsledding
venue for this, the last day of
competition. It's medal time...

and, John, the top six teams
are separated by only half a second.

- So it's very close, and
that's been predictable--
- I didn't expect...

- to see you here.
- Well, my dear...

we've got a team
in the Olympics, don't we?

Most astonishing is the
Jamaicans. They still have a
chance to win an Olympic medal.

Everybody, shut up.
My boy's on TV.

And you're not the only one
to get excited about that.

I think the fans here have an
extreme case of Jamaican fever.

- Al, so do l.
- Oh, no, no, no, no.

So do we. Do I have to tell you
whose turn it is now?

- Jamaica, to your start positions.
- Respect!

Hey, dreadlocks, let me
kiss your lucky egg.

- Next team up is Jamaica.
- All right, fellas, that's us!

Let's go! Here we go!
Today's our day! This is it!

Come on, guys.
We can do it!

Derice! I'll see ya
at the finish line.

- With the kinds of push starts
these guys are capable of...
- All right, it's all yours. Go!

we might actually see the
Jamaicans win an Olympic medal.

So this is it. We could
see history in the making.

Feel the rhythm!
Feel the rhyme!

Get on up!
It's bobsled time!

- Cool runnings!
- On the track.

Go! Go! Go!
Move that bobsled! Go!

One, two, three, four, all of
them in, and look at them fly.

Oh, man, they shaved another
couple hundredths off the start.

Al, they get better
every time down the track.

Go, Derice! Move!
Take that bobsled and move!

Look at the way the sled's comin' in
and out of the corners. Very smooth.

It's like he's been drivin'
the sled for ten years. Bannock
looks really possessed here.

Oh, what the heck.
Go, Jams!

What a run Bannock is having.
He's letting loose on this
extremely fast course.

And even with that
rickety old sled...

the Jamaicans are
flying through the turns.

This does not look good.
Something's gotta be wrong.

The Jamaicans on a record pace
as they fly almost out of
control around the turn.

- Move it! Move it! Move that sled!
- Now the speed seems too much...

and I don't think he's going
to be able to hold it. Oh!

Derice, you dead?

No, man, I'm not dead.

We have to finish the race.

Excuse me, please.

Excuse me.

Sehr gut, Jamaica.

We'll see you
in four years, ja?

Yeah, man.

Junior Bevil.

But it doesn't mean
that I like you.

We split.

- Thanks, lrv.
- Thank you.

- All right. Hey, guys.
- Hey, Coach.

- Coach.
- I'm so proud of you guys.
You all right?

- I love you, man.
- Can I get a picture, please?

I can see clearly now

The rain is gone

I can see all obstacles

In my way

Gone are the dark clouds

That had me blind

It's gonna be a bright

- Bright, bright
- Bright sunshiney day

It's gonna be a bright

- Bright, bright
- Bright sunshiney day

Oh, yes, I can make it now

The pain is gone

All of the bad feelings

Have disappeared

Here is that rainbow

I've been prayin' for

It's gonna be a bright

- Bright, bright
- Bright sunshiney day

Look all around

There's nothing
but blue skies

Look straight ahead

There's nothing
but blue skies

Oy, you know
people can't believe

Jamaica have a bobsled team

We have no snow
Just food and water

And the temperature ranges
from hot to hotter

No spring, no fall
much less no winter

And yet we have
a bobsled team

Holding on
to an Olympic dream

We say them ready I'm always say
them ready Them ready like Freddy

You see them funny sled
You see the world steady

When they make the motion
Them a rock and a dolly

A country on a sled
with a wish in them body

Yes, my four men
are my bobsled posse

Yul Brenner, Derice, Junior
Sanka, the men are ready

When them reach the Olympics
we're proud and irie, irie, irie

Lord, you know
people can't believe

Jamaica have a bobsled team

Boy, you know
people can't believe

Jamaica have a bobsled team

Lord, you know
people can't believe

Jamaica have a bobsled team

Boy, you know
people can't believe

Jamaica have a bobsled team

Oooh
