Goal!

[briggzy]

Anybody heard about this movie? Its ment to me about a latin american football player who sign's for Newcastle and has various problems with the English Premiership, Climate and probably Lee Bowyer aswell. It has been described as footballs 'Rocky'.

Several Premiership football players are being signed up to star in a
big-budget Hollywood franchise being billed as football's Rocky. Quentin
Tarantino's producers are in talks with the Premier League about setting the
first of the £45m-plus trilogy in a real top-flight northern club. Goal!,
which will start shooting this summer, will follow a young Latino from south
central Los Angeles who comes to England to play in the Premiership.
Producer Mike Jefferies said: "No one has ever made a big soccer movie. Up
until now we have had small parochial stories, and no one has used real star
players the way we will." Pioneering techniques will let the "camera right
into the action for the first time", he said, adding that the "meat of the
story will be carried by actors, but we will have very big name cameos from
the game". In the first film, the young American player will face "a
fish-out-of-water struggle to adapt from life in LA to winter in a northern
city,” Jefferies said, while in the second he will join a continental club.
The last in the trilogy will coincide with the World Cup finals in 2006 in
Germany.

Thoughts?

Well, for the final movie they cut off the dancing scene. And some other parts you probably won't get unless you watched these other Hong Kong movies.

Yes. Shoalin was soo good, and funny with all the 'special' abilities the brothers had, my fave was the breakdancing one.
