INVINCIBLE (2006) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@lt6134]

“Miracle” with Kurt Russell is my favorite sports movie by far. And a true story I remember well.

[@Js9133A]

Me too. It was much more than a hockey game

[@TheAcgtrs]

100%

[@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra]

There's nothing like living those days! ...but: for all of those unable to: Miracle is about as close as you can get. Truly: Magic and Brilliance. ...When unity and trust MEANT something! 🤘🤘

[@timsgilable]

Yeah I've been dying for them to react to Miracle.

[@jeanniepiller3421]

I was 11 or 12 when they went to the Olympics and I was in my room downstairs and I remember my 3 brothers and my Dad just started screaming and pounding on the floor which scared the c*** out of me at the time and then I ran up to see what all the commotion was about. I watched the rest of the game with them and the ones that followed. It's one of my favorite memories of my family in childhood.

[@whiskybooze]

Eagle fans pelted Santa with snowballs. This is how the neighborhood boys and me played football in our backyards. No pads and full tackle. We beat the hell outta each other.

[@jmbuff1]

The greatest true sports film is "Miracle" about the 1980 US Olympic hockey team. I challenge you not to cry.

[@RobinHardman-vv6kr]

We all watched that! That was the greatest miracle!

[@StevePhil-qw4ep]

Brian's Song does it for me

[@brodudesdabomb]

They did a reaction too "Miracle" a couple days ago. Just saying! Good on you man! Such a good film!

[@Shadowfax-1980]

Veterans Stadium had been torn down by the time they made this movie so they used U. Penn’s Franklin Field as a stand in and digitally recreated the upper decks and outside of Veterans Stadium. Because it’s a college stadium, that’s why there’s a race track around the field. The ironic thing is Franklin Field is where the Eagles played before Veterans Stadium had opened.

[@bigsarge8795]

As a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan, this movie holds a special place in everyone's heart here in the city. Great reaction, and thank you.

[@brendasimmons8149]

Have you seen “Money Ball”? It’s a true story about the Oakland A’s. Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill are phenomenal!!! They both won Oscars and it won for best picture as well.

[@Hozer42]

Don't forget Chris Pratt. Ha

[@christopherking4932]

Thats my favorite movie of all time/ despite not being a baseball fan so much. How could you not be romantic about baseball 💟💟

[@buddry538]

They did not win oscars bro.. nominated.. yes.

[@OriginalPuro]

Moneyball* One word. Great movie. "Pete, you're a good egg."

[@cra0422]

In real life, Vince Papale went to college on a track and field scholarship and played 2 seasons with the Philadelphia Bell of the World Football League. When the WFL folded in 1975, that's when he got a tryout with the Eagles.

[@inezornelas475]

Great movie! Amber since you ran cross country you both should watch "McFarland, USA". A true story of a cross country team from California. Kevin Costner stars as the track coach.

[@GruffyddFO4]

Two fun football movies with somewhat similar vibes are "The Replacements" starring Keanu Reeves but with a really solid ensemble cast including Gene Hackman as the coach, and "Necessary Roughness" starring Scott Bakula (the "Quantum Leap" guy). I definitely recommend both. For non-football, "The Cutting Edge" is a good one, as is "Cool Runnings".

[@racing2cat]

Love those movies!!

[@lawman2007]

And The Replacements was "loosely" based on the 1987 strike season, which Amber's great uncle was a ref during.

[@mikejoy5496]

Agreed, you’ll love the replacements

[@jrgilby]

Add Major League to the list of fun underdog teams

[@Heinz57Sauce]

They depict the fan base accurately. Going to a road game in Philadelphia isn’t as horrible as it once was but you still to realize you’re going to get chirped at with some “mustard”.

[@jrgilby]

There are so many Philly Easter eggs packed into this movie. For example: The fan in the cape trying out for the team is the present owner of Tony Luke's, one of the signature cheesesteak restaurants in Philly.

[@myfosters3529]

Bull Durham, Tin Cup, The Rookie, Major League, Friday Night Lights., and Mystery, Alaska. These are sports movies we watch over and over!

[@Alexandertg1955]

The Opening Song. Yes it's Jim Croce. There is a connection. Jim was from Philly and had just died in a plane crash when the events in the film took place. Being from the Philly area I remember all of it. I was 21 that year. 🙂 Answering April's question about open practices. The Eagles had traded away both their First and Second round draft picks. The Eagles wouldn't have those draft picks for another 3 years when Vermeil took over in 1976. So Vermeil called for open tryouts to create interest and find talent. Cheese steak. To be fair there are many pizza places that make a good sandwich. But the Mecca for visitors has to be south Philly where Pat's and Geno's are. Gotta order it with fried onions 🙂Just Google Pat's Cheesesteaks

[@Gutts31]

Jim Croce died in 1973. Vince Papale took place in 1976.

[@Alexandertg1955]

True! If we are going to pick nits than Jim died in September of 73 and Dick was hired in the spring of 76. 2 and a half years. The song was not released until after Jim's death and remained on the charts for over a year. So it was still quite popular in the spring of 76 when the film starts. Also Springsteen was just gaining national attention, Rick Wakeman was on tour for his Journey To The Center of The Earth album, the Steelers were starting their 4 SB's in 6 years run and Nixon had just resigned. Ford was President after replacing Spiro Agnew as VP and then Nixon as President. Carter was elected in the fall of 76 but didn't take office until January of 77.

[@chart6454]

Forget Gino’s or Pat’s. D’Alessadro’s or Chubby’s in Roxborough are better than those tourist traps.

[@richarddefortuna2252]

Don't forget Ishkabibble's on South.

[@quincee3376]

Geno's and Pat's are mediocre. So many better places.

[@289hipo]

That was Veterans Stadium, aka "The Vet" Was all purpose, baseball, football, college track & field, other events like monster trucks, etc. Cheapest seats were way up near the top, the "nosebleed" section😉

[@patrickpyne4664]

The scene of the little kid wearing a home made Papale jersey was actually Vince's son and his daughter was the quarterback in the schoolyard

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

Dick Vermeil is still with us at 87 and he could probably still teach some people how to coach.

[@KingsFanForever]

Dick Vermeil also had two good years as the head coach at UCLA. The Bruins went 9-2-1 in 1975 and upset number one ranked Ohio State in the 1976 Rose Bowl.

[@michaelsmith-iu1be]

@@KingsFanForever He may have beat my Buckeyes but i'm still a fan.

[@jackmessick2869]

Never saw a coach more committed to his players.

[@ZacPomilio]

The guy with the cape is Tony Luke. He owns a hoagie and cheese steak shop in Philly called Tony Luke's. He also starred in a low budget movie the Nail. My dad has a small part in it.

[@curleyqlink228]

The part of Veterans Stadium was played By Franklin Field. That is why there is a track around the field and bench seats. Veterans Stadium was imploded before they started filming. Good catch on that Jay.

[@philburton2223]

I am from South Jersey & we root for the 🦅. I remember when Dick Vermeil started as a coach when I was a kid. We still 💕 Dick & Vince around here. I remember old Veterans Stadium Amber & it was huge. We use to always have nosebleed seats all the way @ the top & I use to like to count how many 🍺 beers others were drinking 😅 . Jay I heard old NFL players say Veterans Stadium was their least favorite stadium to play @ because the concrete playing field was brutal along with Eagles fans. 😂 Fly Eagles fly.

[@filetknife59]

The Phillies also played at Veteran Stadium, so that may have been the warning track that you saw, From far away it looks like a running track!

[@Alex-HHP]

One of my favorites! For me it's not just about sports, but more the human spirit. Finding that something deep down inside that fuels and focuses you. This movie does that in an elegant understated way and I come back to it when I need that little extra when dealing with life's challenges.

[@KimbaLoveAdams]

I love this movie so much. I'm an Eagles fan. Down to the tattoo on my leg. And Vince Papale means so much to this team even today. As does Dick Vermeil. Such a great great man. Also hating the Cowbums is in our blood. I truly can't stand that team. Amber your brother is a smart man! Another great football movie that involves the Eagles is Silver Linings Playbook. It stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. Also Robert De Niro as well.

[@brucefrancis6222]

Agree on Silver Linings Playbook, but more of romcom/drama sports theme based on the Eagles. It is a good movie to react too.

[@superbowlchamps52]

dont forget the other eagles movie starring Tony Danza the garbage picking field goal kicking philadelphia phenomenon.

[@michaelclouse3147]

Would be nice if you pause it when talking. You lose so much!!!

[@cherylhuckaby2927]

I’m sorry. You don’t get to see hardly any of the movie. Too much conversation.

[@jrgilby]

As for South Philly, this was the late 70s, and also when the movie Rocky came out. So there were constant comparisons of Papale to Balboa. Vince Papale was the real Philly underdog.

[@Gary44113]

The stadium was the old Veterans Stadium. The Eagles and the Phillies played there

[@clubberlange4119]

They are showing a CGI of the Veterans Stadium that was imploded only months before the movie was green lit so the director was saddened to realize all the amazing shots he missed out on by mere months. The actual filming was at the University of Pennsylvania's Franklin Field. (Home of the Penn Relays and the Eagles home before the vet. Hence the track)

[@SuburbanSavage]

I used to be a security guard at Veterans Stadium, the Spectrum, Wells Fargo Center, Lincoln Financial Field, and Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia and Eagles fans are a unique breed. They really used to be monsters, so much so that a holding cell and judge were set up in the underbelly of The Vet, for unruly fans. It has gotten better in the stadiums, probably out of fear of being barred from attending another game, but the parking lots are pure chaos. I loved it! Yes, Eagles fans threw snowballs at a Santa Claus, but there is a backstory behind it. There had been a big snowstorm the night before the game, it was really cold, and the Santa that they hired for halftime cancelled due the weather. There was a big float with eight fiberglass reindeer, Eagles cheerleaders at elves, and a marching band, but no Santa. Someone working for the Eagles spotted a guy in the stands dressed badly as Santa and had him perform. They picked a drunk 20 year old, named Frank Olivo, in a shabby, sort-of Santa costume to act as Santa. Well, the float got stuck, so Olivo was essentially shoved out on to the field with an equipment bag full of wet towels and no idea what to do. The Eagles were losing the game and then they send some goofy kid out there, with nothing to do, people are gonna get mad. Even Olivo understood why people were pissed, but he did yell at one fan, "you're not getting anything for Christmas!" In later years, Frank Olivo became a beloved figure in Eagles lore, even returning as Santa in 2009. However, fans are prohibited from dressing as Santa when it snows now. Eagles fans are passionate and a little obnoxious, but they are fiercely loyal, even when the team sucks. No one likes us and we don't care.

[@Susan-om1en]

When Vince Papale Was found then drafted it was about the same time Rocky came out. Many people of Philly think of Papale as thier Rocky.

[@davehess1019]

I am an Eagles fan, born and raised 30 miles west of Philly, we are every bit that crazy and then some

[@johnv61]

Amber, if you like underdog stories “Seabiscuit” from 2003 is for you! Also based on a true story about a n undersized race horse. Not just an underdog story, it has soo much more like this movie had. You’ll both love it!

Great recommendation

[@cpete2976]

Good recommendation. And Elixabeth Banks stars in that movie too.

[@jamesweible5357]

Such a great movie, another in that vein, though from a different angle is secretariat, both stories are amazing, both still make me cry.

[@christinehorror8178]

Yes! I was a crowd extra in that movie it was such a fun time watching the filming of the big race!

[@johnv61]

@@christinehorror8178 I bet! Sounds fun!

[@richarddefortuna2252]

They filmed portions of this down the street from me! Walking home from the subway after work one night, Passyunk Avenue was filled with vintage cars in preparation for one of the scenes. Shortly after, they were filming "Rocky Balboa," and a few years later, "Creed"! Good times!

[@pmontyjaaaymes488]

This movie shows so much perseverance. His wife at the time wasn't a rider. She left to try and find something better. He made it better for himself. She missed out. Wish we could've seen her reaction. But its even better that they didn't mention her anymore after that.

[@hshaughnessy17]

This was a fun movie but it definitely takes some liberties. Vince Papale played pro football in the World Football League for the Philadelphia Bell for two years. He was a special teams standout. His play for the Bell earned him a private workout with the Eagles. He did sign as a 30 year old rookie in the NFL, though.

[@davehess1019]

back in 1976 Veterans stadium was a multi purpose stadium, used for Football, baseball and other sports that came to the city of Philadelphia, it has since been torn down and Philadelphia has separate Football and Baseball stadiums, Lincoln Financial field for Football and Citizens Bank Park for baseball.

[@solarfed1]

I saw this when I was deployed to Iraq in 2006. Made me feel closer to home even though I’m a Cowboys fan. The scene during the coin toss with the cowboys took me back to my childhood watching the Boys. Thanks for the reaction.

[@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames]

The Song is "I've got a Name " by Jim Croce. You've listened to Croce before, so that's why the voice sounds familiar.

[@LesTrout-x8x]

Great Movie! But another sports movie you may like is McFarland. Kevin Costner plays a Football Coach that loses his job and ends up coaching Cross Country in McFarland , CA . Another true story and something for both of you.

[@scubaspookryu]

I'm going to show my age, but I remember watching Steve Prefontaine in the 1972 Olympics. His untimely death was really a blow to the running community. It was really fun watching your reactions to this movie. I saw it once several years ago and really enjoyed it. Still love it. I'm with you Amber, in that I love to see an underdog beat the odds by sheer grit and stick-to-itiveness. Looking forward to your next sports movie reaction. I agree with the others that Miracle is a fantastic movie based on beating impossible odds. They did what was thought to be impossible and I was lucky enough to watch it as it happened. Just an incredibly emotional game!

[@aaronnestor7357]

"Was this when the Cowboys were good? When people STILL talk about?" LOL that comment had me lol, thank you. Go Birds

As for the sports cinemaphotography, this is some of Mark Ellis' best work. I now look for sports movies with him in the credits.

Such a great story and love how they shot the NFL play. So many great memories playing mud football in the rain with my local buds from our neighborhood, lifelong relationships.

[@chuckw69]

As a life long Cowboys fan it is hard for me to admit that I really like this movie but it is one of my favorite sports movie

[@bambamnj]

My advice from someone who has lived very close to Philly all my life {Southern NJ}. Stay aways from Pat's and Geno's. They are way too commercial now. Instead.. talk to some people and find a local Italian restaurant {people would prob call them "dives". These smaller Italian family run places will have the best food. I wish I could give you a name right now, but I moved down towards the Jersey shore and I haven't been into Philly for a meal for some time now. Trust me, the local Italian dive places are your best bet for a really good cheesesteak. Honestly the cheesesteak in 75% about the bread. You get a great roll, you'll most likely get a great cheesesteak.

[@daybeau7819]

Great reaction guys. For folks from the greater Philadelphia area, especially for those of us who were to alive to witness these events at the time, films like Invincible and Miracle aren't just underdog sports stories: they are heroic, patriotic films. Two other films that are more than just sports movies you may like are Chariots of Fire (about Olympic runners) and Invictus (uniting post Apartheid South Africa through rugby, starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon).

This movie always makes me miss playing football as a kid. Out on a scrubby dirt field, full-contact, no pads, living our fantasies as our favorite players. It was 1985 and I was Gary Fencik for an hour or so every Saturday night. I really love when he let's his friend know at the stadium and when he asks him if he's ok, his friend replies "I'm good now." It's such a simple statement but shows the depth of their friendship.

"Prefontaine" (1997) and "Without Limits" (1998) are both Steve Prefontaine movies which Amber surely must have seen one of, but maybe not both. And then another true underdog running story is the story of native American Billy Mills, an Oglala Sioux, who still stands alone as the only American to win the Olympic gold medal at the 10,000 meter distance (Tokyo Olympics 1964)-- the movie from 1983, "Running Brave".

[@russellward4624]

Eagles have had a lot of great teams but have a history of failing at the last hurdle. Dick Vermeil the head coach in the film took them to the superpower in 1980, lost to the Raiders. Lost the superbowl with TO and McNabb in 2005 and had some great teams under Buddy Ryan but had terrible injury luck. Cunningham missed 2 full seasons with knee injuries when they had the best defense in football. Made the playoffs with a 3rd string QB 1 year.

[@boki1693]

Did you guys react to "Remember the Titans?" Denzel Washington stars in it and it's about H,S. football. So good. Also, the Junction Boys. Thats about Bear Bryant before he went to Alabama. Tom Barringer from Platoon plat bear and thats another real good movie. From about 14 until my early thirties, we would play pick up, tackle football Sunday Morning before the 1:00Pm game. I was 15 at the time this movie took place. Giants fans HATE the EAGLES. by the way, the Giants sucked in 1975. Then go to the bar when we were old enough and watch the 1Pm and 4pm games. 18 was the drinking age then. We live on Long Island but sometimes we would go to Central Park and play just because it was cool to do it. Then hang out in the city all day. So much fun. We always had a big game on Thanksgiving as well. Up until our late 20's we would usually get 20- 30 guys. Starting at about 25, a bunch of us would go to an away Giant game each year. Hotel for three nights. No wives and Gf's. But after that it slowly dwindle down to nothing. The last year I played I was 32 and I think we had 10-12 guys total. Wives, the great bro killers. LOL. Starting in our late 20's, most of us played in softball and or baseball leagues too or instead because it was safer. And the bars would sponsor teams and that meant discounts on beer. Several years, 5 or 6, our team was good enough that a topless bar sponsored us. That was like the Holy Grail of all things. Not only did we get discounts at the topless bar and were encouraged by the girls working their to go. But a few times a year, some of the girls came to watch us play as well. Talk about Glory Days. LOL. But I played baseball/softball since forever. Like 7 or 8 organized. That was fun too and it was from April till the end of August. So longer. But just not as much fun.

[@thatpatrickguy3446]

Great reaction to a great movie! 19:09 I always like seeing one of my favorite Eagles represented right here, Harold Carmichael #17 the 6'8" giant who played WR for 13 seasons with the Eagles and made the HoF in 2020. I wasn't really an Eagles fan as a kid, but my friend Tommy was a huge fan so I became a fan and learned a lot about the team when we were kids in the 70s. Harold Carmichael was probably my favorite of them all. 🙂 "Centers are super smart." That's very true. And, if you noticed, the center was reading Trinity by Leon Uris (which was a new release in 1976, the year this movie was set in, as I recall), which is a novel based on actual events in the history of Ireland and is NOT an easy read from what I know. I also loved how the first two guys to congratulate Vince after the touchdown was #53, the center, and #57 who Amber thought was crazy earlier. 😀 A great story about a working class guy managed to have a three year NFL career at 30 and become a legend in his city. Even if the real story was dramatized for the movie, the core of it is still true.

[@anthonys2818]

Miracle is a great story about US hockey team beating the dominant Russian hockey team. Recommend it.

[@garybradford8332]

This reminds me of the NFL player's strike in 1974 from July 1 - August 10, so the entire preseason roster was walk-on rookies from open tryouts. I was 20 and fantasized about being a Lion for a moment and then remembered my lack of talent while playing ball in high school. I excelled instead at wrestling in the 167 weight class. I live in Kansas City now. We have a pretty good team, lol.

Oh geez - when I saw “Invincible”, I thought for a second you were watching the animated superhero series and I was, like, “noooo! Their innocent eyes!”

[@mikeljenks]

That’s why I opened the video too.😂

[@eyesacthehoodrat]

As far as cheese steaks go , everyone will say either Pats or Genos, but you should try Tony Lukes cheese steaks as well.

Absolutely LOVE this movie! Seen it at least 10+ times! Also love the way the soundtrack is done and the way Ted Nugent's "Stranglehold" is in the movie along with how its also in another Marky Mark movie, Rockstar!

I've heard that song in multiple movies of his - must be on his regular playlist. 🙂

The Replacements is a sports comedy starting Keanu Reeves. It's awesome

[@vanessa4u4evr]

This was great. I remember watching it back in the day. But I agree with a previous commenter that 'Miracle' is one of the best true story sports movie that I've ever seen portrayed on screen. Would be GREAT to see you guys react to it. ❤

Jay you just scored big points with Philly fans with your dislike for the Cowgirls!…lol That’s our biggest 2 games in the regular season

[@dasanwoo]

Amber, a early Mark Walburg movie suggestion, "Fear" from 1996 is a fine movie. And something I think Jay would also enjoy.

[@clubberlange4119]

OMG!!!!! LOVE that you mentioned Steve Prefontain. I am assuming that you have both seen Prefontain and Without Limits, but if you have not you NEED to do them on the channel. And if one of you have not seen them, the other can enjoy them again. Also, NIKE made a documentary called Fire on the Track that might be a good watch. Fun fact, NIKE has made a statue of only one athlete. It is not Michael Jordan, but Steve Prefontain.

Miracle is a must watch!! ❤❤❤
