    Editorial Reviews

    Cool Runnings fictionalizes the true story of a bobsledding team from Jamaica making it to the Olympics. The tale begins when Derice Bannock (Leon), realizing that due to an accident his chances of qualifying for Jamaica's 1988 Olympic track team are dashed, scrounges around looking for another sport for the competition. Since ex-United States gold medal bobsledding winner Irv Blitzer (John Candy) now lives in Jamaica, Derice chooses bobsledding, convincing Irv to coach the team. Derice then forms his team. He gets his friend Sanka Cofie (Doug E. Doug) to join up and recruits Junior Bevil (Rawle D. Lewis), a young man who lacks self-confidence, and Yul Brenner (Malik Yoba), a disagreeable and bitter malcontent. After setbacks and near disasters, the group jells as team members and they head off to the Olympics to compete for an Olympic spot. Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

    November 29, 2001: I think this is a great movie Sanka is the best like when the team gets in trouble for fighting and daresse is like ''You don't see the Swiss fightin and carrin on'' and Sanka goes ''Ah yes but you don't see the swiss smilin neither in fact if one of them swiss boys ever came across a pretty girl he'd probly say Ise Viy Dry and try to push her down some ice'' This movie is a number 1 I'd have to say one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. And even better is after every time some one asks Sanka if he is dead he goes ''Ya mon I'm dead''

    November 27, 2000: This movie makes me laugh and cry every time I see it. My 8 year old watches it all the time. He likes to imitate Sanka's jamaican accent (Ya Mon)
