When they shot it, I was almost submerged. Ellis: The idea was they botched the handoff. I put it right there! Townsend: There was a competitive spirit between LL and Jamie from the beginning. A lot of testosterone. What does LL do? He hits Jamie. What does Jamie do? Fucking hits him back. Al was trying to break it up and he was thrown around too. It was kind of a fun mess. Bryniarski: LL Cool J, his eyes broke character.

I must have been the coach. They were at each other. This is not the script. Bryniarski: Jamie Foxx was standing next to a camera crane on the field, and I watched LL Cool J sneak up to Jamie from behind—and Jamie had his helmet on, but he was not paying attention. Totino: Fucking massive punch hits Jamie in the face. Jamie goes back and hits the push bar on the techno-crane. I thought he snapped his neck.

Jamie pops up, full-blown fight going on. Punches are flying everywhere. Townsend: I jumped in between the two of them as they started trading blows. They were both in full pads and helmets; I unfortunately was not. Bellamy: Every time we shot the scene, I never got a chance to say my line, because they started fighting. It was hilarious. Totino: Everybody storms off the field, and we decide to wrap.

You should have been rolling. They were killing each other. I think they started mirroring their roles in the film, antagonistic with one another. I think it just carried over. This was a moment that tindered. Totino: Those are the type of challenges that we were dealing with all the time. All the time! For Stone, authenticity on the field and in the locker room was paramount, and led to a unique visual style—and some genuinely surprising moments.

Graf: Anytime they cast a football actor, we had them come in to learn their plays. They had to come to our football camp, too. Townsend: It was right before the shoot. Oliver did that back on his war films as well. It was a good way to train the cast and get them working as a team. Bryniarski: It was on the equator, degrees in Miami. It was basically all day instead of two-a-days.

Everybody was hungry. It was definitely a demanding camp. Bellamy: I remember we were exhausted. I never ran so many sprints in my life. I even thought about quitting at one point. Ellis: Oliver showed a clipping of Saving Private Ryan. It was like being on the battlefield. I think through lots of distortion and volume and animal sounds and crowd. Salmon: The flashy stuff and the frenetic stuff, it was timely. It was often imitated. Even Friday Night Lights did it.

That was an interesting choice that Oliver made. This one guy was a human tripod. Robert Klemko Washington Post sports investigative reporter : There was a defensive back in Baltimore, Bernard Pollard, who I observed during my first couple of seasons covering the NFL, who would do press scrums in the nude if a woman was present. Hamburg: Oliver likes to include the most extreme things he can in his movies.

Bryniarski: The Matthew Modine [scene in the beginning] was just classic. I pull down my pants and blow up the entire toilet. Modine: It was pretty much just like you see it—and feel it—when watching the film.

Weiner: People got upset with the alligator in the shower, like that would never happen. Well, actually it did. They pulled that out of some scene. Bryniarski: The alligator was young—it might have been a caiman. Bellamy: Yeah, there were always camera guys in there because they wanted to hear that real banter and us talking crap about each other and getting ready for the game. Near the end of the movie, in the Texas Stadium locker room, Al Pacino delivers one of the most revered and replayed motivational speeches in sports-movie history.

He was devoted to his portrayal of an aging coach, a change of pace for the veteran actor. He had us over to watch some heavyweight fight. To play a head coach, this is so important to him. Quaid: He was a really sweet man. He was very generous with everybody.

I really admired that about him. He had notes, he was always referring to things. Did I seem like a coach? I only got about a third of it. I loved it. I loved learning how they move on the sideline. I liked it. Then you realize the reality of being coach. No vacation. Bellamy: Al was really a leader on the set and a mentor to all the younger guys. He was very open. I remember Pacino running a slant route and me tossing it to him—he ran full speed, caught it, and kept running.

Al Pacino is out here running pass routes. I got the real thing here. This is how the world works! Klemko: So much of the movie is overstated, so it feels really special when something is really subtle.

Pacino: Yeah, I loved that scene. I remember going to a Buick [as a kid], running for a ball and going to a Buick. All I ever wanted to be was a quarterback—never happened. Everybody would be quarterback but me, even when I got older. Moon: He was perfect for the role. Just tough, gritty coaches that said what was on their mind and cursed and screamed.

He was even more old school than the movies. Hamburg: That locker room speech that he gave has become so epic. Stone: I used to talk about that when I did the lecture tour as a writer-director. I get a call from the AD at base camp—the cameras are set up. We start going through it.

Taylor: Al was rehearsing, he would fumble different lines, and then it was like BAM—they started rolling and he absolutely fucking nailed it. Williams: He does that speech three or four times, exactly like what you saw.

We were like, are you kidding me? Pacino: Oliver was great to work with and he gave me a couple of chances, and he covers it beautifully. I remember Sidney Lumet used to like to do more takes than he usually does with me to get me tired.

That would fire him up and fuel him even more. Bellamy: That room was electric. It was absolutely electric. Every time he did the scene it got hyped, and he just kept delivering it. Quaid: Everybody was like, sit back and watch Al Pacino work. We were like audience members. Modine: We all knew he was going to deliver an amazing performance. Al is the real deal.

Stone: He absorbs it and gives it back in a way that makes me cry. He put his heart into it. Pacino: It was a very good speech as it was written. Sometimes you go in and you sort of massage the speech—you work with some people and figure out how to do it, how to make it flow and genuine and in a way that you can say it—take the acting out of it. Too many blowouts. Prediction: Pats 27 Falcons Like Like. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.
