Imagine going through all the soul-draining stuff that Jack went through and just wanting a win, and then having to give it up for your wife's sake. That's real love.

[@LaurenMiddleton28]

100% true

[@chriscaldwell4482]

This was a win

[@chrisgross5409]

2 things I love- Jack’s face at the end- knowing that if he won it could hurt his wife’s career, and how pleased Martin Mull is with himself- “I DID IT!!” 🤣🤣🤣

[@terrancethomas9792]

Make the Boss feel awesome today day.

[@Anthony-rd7xh]

I love the Not-Chariots of Fire music that played.

[@gracegoddess4841]

It’s better tbh

[@JoshBreakdowns]

@@gracegoddess4841 it's cheaper lol

[@Shamoomusic]

It's much better.

[@billybassman21]

They wanted too much money so they made their own made for TV sounding version and it ended up being better than the Vangelis version.

[@saltyholic3046]

My favorite scene in the movie! The swim flippers at the beginning, the coworkers trying to stop him, and the “I did it!” at the end are priceless 😂

[@jmarks544]

This showed how much he loved his wife remember her boss insulted him before this and the fact he knew threw it for her means he loved her and didn't want to cause her problems at work

[@johnothy]

This was always one of my favorite scenes in the movie and I love the music!

[@gracegoddess4841]

LITERALLY

[@eleanorrigby14]

“What’s he doing?!?!?!” “ Winning?” Michael Keaton = Class

[@katherinegribbins5662]

80s movies are the best

[@marianamendes4393]

Os de hoje também são; a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer sabe mesmo fazer filmes cult

[@darthvaydr]

This is one of my favorite 80’s comedies. Michael Keaton has always been one of my favorite actors and the whole cast makes this movie just so enjoyable to watch. They don’t make great movies like this anymore. The 70’s and 80’s movies were amongst the best. So glad that I grew up in that era.

[@scottvincent184]

I actually like this song more than Chariots of Fire 😆

[@d54b42]

RIP Martin Mull.

[@GS195]

Stan Dragoti: Mr. Vangelis, can we use your “Chariots of Fire” song in our movie, please? Vangelis: No.

[@501764727]

😂🤣

[@erisbrigedon8331]

It's SO funny that Carolyn's colleague was trying to help save her job by holding back her husband, ROTFL!!

[@CraigJordanLA]

The guy who keeps pulling on Jack’s leg etc ? I always wondered about that. I’d love to know what - if it was even scripted- he is saying to Jack in those shots

[@marianamendes4393]

Os filmes de hoje não têm mais sentido, não por causa dele, Reese Witherspoon, Renée Zellweger, Jennette McCurdy, Ashley Judd, Hugh Jackman e sim por Shia LaBeouf, Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlie Sheen

[@unstepintime]

@@CraigJordanLA Its basically you gotta let the boss win.

[@CraigJordanLA]

@@unstepintime yeah. I just always found it amusing that Carolyn’s coworkers are so hell bent on Ron winning; it’s almost like they’re scared he’s gonna fire them all? When really only Carolyn’s job would be in jeopardy. Her female coworker looks beyond distressed in the final stretch right before Jack throws it. Lol

[@Barton_Motors_Ltd]

Long live the 80s

[@NarcisoSanchez]

Funny race... but those dorks trying to make Jack lose... that ripoff Chariots Of Fire music is the best. Everybody wanted to use that theme.

[@CAFEX24]

Rip Mr Mull! Excellent actor! Will be missed!

[@lynisalive]

I want to recreate this today

[@billybassman21]

You can't. People have changed too much.

[@deansapp4635]

Teri Garr was smokin hot

[@LaurenMiddleton28]

My mom told me she saw this movie when she was 7. Her mom was gonna drop her off but instead joined her... Sweet memories..

[@bewareofzealots]

R.I.P. Martin Mull. Such a wonderful actor. I loved this movie and his Harvey Holroyd in "Serial" (1980).

[@JNDRFL1]

Ron told Jack beforehand "no one takes it seriously it's just good clean fun." In the end they were taking it seriously.

[@haujeancontactee]

This was back when movies were great and the world was in better shape.

[@minnesotajack1]

We were using sugar and not corn syrup. Seriously, that’s a big reason

[@billtownbiker]

No it wasn't. If you think it was you weren't alive

[@minnesotajack1]

As a grown-a$$ man, I can tell you running with diving fins and racing through a child’s tunnel would be exhausting

[@KittyCatMo]

RIP Martin Mull ❤

[@camaromarl]

In the 80's this is the rich man sport for their staff

[@Dueville7777]

Nice win by Martin! Don't mess with the Mull!

[@zetaviodeloryan5381]

This scene has probably saved marriages.

[@jackschissler255]

Wish this version of Chariots Of Fire was the real deal and on ITunes. I like to have

[@lauradoms1284]

Does anybody know what those blocks are called that they are crawling thru? I have been trying to find them for years over the internet without success

[@GoGoJuice120]

Idk but seeing those brought me back. Everyone had those either outside or in their basement

[@ToxicSpork]

This should have been an event in Revenge of the Nerds instead of the javelin throw

[@CentaurPress]

2:50 I did it

[@CraigJordanLA]

Immature Pig Ron lol. I would love to interview Martin Mull about this scene tho

[@dancastro6873]

@@CraigJordanLA He was a bit like that in the 1980 movie My Bodyguard when he's talking to a visiting flight attendent

[@SKBottom]

He is a great actor and, so I've heard, actually a good guy. He sure can play a douchebag well, though.

[@edmundgonzalez8731]

2:52 few could pull off this level of douchebaggery like Mr. Mull. Going to miss you buddy.

[@mellowyellow2576]

What wouldn't we do fer love? 💜

Teri Garr the hottest wife in THREE blockbuster movies - Mr Mom, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Oh God!

[@whatareyoulookingat908]

Young Frankenstein.

[@LinkMarioSamus]

I’m not sure how I got here. Has to do with Spider-Man I think.

[@acz51088]

Was this music a remix of chariots of fire theme?

[@billybassman21]

Basically, Vangelis wanted too much money to use their song so they made their own version of it which many people liked better.

[@runthenumbers9698]

That music! LOL! So much effort ripping off "Chariot's of Fire" Honestly... if it's that obvious, maybe they should have to pay royalties anyway. LOL!

[@amiracleone2803]

What's the name of the song

[@zetaviodeloryan5381]

Its a variation of the Chariots of Fire theme

[@KenjiJasper]

The funny thing is he took a dive for his wife only for her to end up quitting by the end of the film. Remember what you're sacrificing for.

[@rangers94ism]

He didn't know that she was going to do that. He sacrificed his dignity for her happiness

[@KenjiJasper]

And then he went back to work. He married one woman, a woman who also committed to him. If you won’t support your partner then a marriage is a slave contract.

[@Citrusfruits50]

😆😆 ridiculous

[@alvexok5523]

Yeah, lol. So he tripped on purpose? That's what I gathered him winking at his wife afterwards meant.

[@CraigJordanLA]

@@alvexok5523 you can see the other men colleagues behind Jack throwing themselves down as well
