SPORTS MOVIE QUOTES
Quotes from "Gentlemen Jim", Warner Brothers (1942)
Starring Errol Flynn and Alexis Smith
.
James J. Corbett aka Gentleman Jim: [to Victoria Ware] That's the girl! You just keep pulling for me to lose, will you? That's the way I like it! Bring me good luck!
.
James J. Corbett aka Gentleman Jim: [Watching his inebriated father's weaving walk home] Here comes Pop! Uh, he's walkin' the tightrope again.
.
James J. Corbett aka Gentleman Jim: I've seen you around San Francisco a few times but from a long distance, of course.
John L. Sullivan: Well, seein' me from a long distance is a smart idea, young fella.
.
James J. Corbett aka Gentleman Jim: The first time I saw you fight I was just a bit of a kid. There wasn't a man alive who could have stood up to you then. And tonight, well, I was just mighty glad that you weren't the John L. Sullivan of ten years ago.
John L. Sullivan: Is that what you're thinkin' now?
James J. Corbett aka Gentleman Jim: That's what I was thinking before I got into the ring with you.
John L. Sullivan: That's a fine decent thing for you to say, Jim. I don't know how we might have come out, oh, say, eight or ten tears ago. I... maybe I was faster then, but if I was, tonight you're the fastest thing on two feet.
.
Victoria Ware: You're thinking about Sullivan?
James J. Corbett aka Gentleman Jim: Yeah. I can see him now walking back to his room, alone, lying there all night and thinking, 'What's the use of ever getting up again?' John L! He'll never thump another bar and shout, 'I can lick any man in the world.' He must be lost.
.
"Gentlemen Jim" Movie Trivia:
.
According to "Variety," the real Corbett was "self-effacing" and had a "quiet personality.," which is at odds with the brash extrovert that is pictured in the film.
.
The real Sullivan had fought Corbett prior to their world championship bout at San Francisco's Olympic Club some years before.
.
Errol Flynn did all of his own boxing stunts in the film, and although production was shut down for a time after Flynn suffered a mild heart attack, he came back and finished the picture without ever using a double.
.

Former Junior Welterweight champion Mushy Callahan not only trained Flynn for the film's fight sequences, his feet doubled for the actor in the shots that showed off his famous footwork.
.
Sullivan reportedly did not like Corbett, and although the film shows Sullivan presenting his championship belt to him, in real life the belt had been hocked by the champion years before.

MOTOCROSS POEM
.
Motocross
-------------------------------------------
Ode To The Pee Wee Mom
.
In the pits, he dresses with care,
motorcycles surround us, everywhere.
Goggles, helmet, knee braces and pants,
necessary gear, to begin the dance.
.
The Gladiators of Motocross, they all are here.
“Don’t forget, Mom” he grins, “Show No fear.”
The experts come back; their race is done,
one is missing, I clutch at my son.
.
“Be careful out there,” says one as he passes by,
Why are we here? Why, oh why?
“The whoops are rough, the corners fast,
stay on the gas, Boy, or you’ll be last.”
.
Where is the sport, where is the fun?
They call his race, I want to run.
Final words I wish I could say,
at the starting line, on his big day.
.
Instead, I say what he needs to hear,
and promise again to show no fear.
A silent prayer for this son of mine,
what I should have said at the starting line.
.
You don’t need to go so fast,
there’s nothing wrong with being last.
Should you need to feel the speed,
to take to the air, like a bird just freed,
.
think of me up in the stands,
with pounding heart and shaking hands.
The crowd moans,I peek to see,
two have crashed,but not my Pee Wee.
.
The final turn, the final jump.
In my throat, an enormous lump.
The checkered flag is in the air,
I want to look, but I do not dare.
.
“Lady, lady, is that your son?
Gee, lady, your boy just won.”
On rubber legs, I make my way,
to the finish line, of his big day.
.
He grins at me, He knows he's fast,
“I did what you told me, Mom, I kicked some a$$.”
