I agree about Axle. Dude is probably 120lbs. They could have at least made him a receiver or something.

Mickey (Brad Pitt) in Snatch.

i have a hard time believing he can take that much of a beating and that his punch can still knock out such big dudes in one shot.

Michael from the Blind Side


I refuse to believe such an overly sentimental Disney character could become a 1st round draft pick.

axel is scrawny and 5'5.
Agree with all this. There was a Hilary Duff movie years ago where the main love interst was a scrawny 5'10" kid who had a scholarship to play football at USC.

You'd think they'd at least try and fool someone and make Axel good at track or soccer or something besides football.

In longest yard how the frick is adam sandler a qb
Didn't bother me too much. He isn't any smaller than Burt Reynolds who was an all american at FSU IIRC.

This bugs me just as much as when directors don't even consult military folks when making movies. At least try and fool someone.

Oliver Platt was totally out of place in R2R. He was funny though.

Lucas Scott from One Tree Hill. Dude is supposed to be some star basketball player, but he looks like he's 5'5.

Then Nathan Scott later on when he is drafted into the NBA. He was believable as a basketball hotshot at a small North Carolina high school, but the NBA? No freaking way.

This is going to piss a lot of people off but....Rocky Balboa. Especially in the first one. Stallone is what 5'9" and was not built at all in that movie and he was supposed to be a heavyweight.

when you said that i thought of michael J fox in teen wolf. someone already said it though.

wasn't there some movie where a girl pretended to be a guy on a basketball team? i pick that one even though i never saw it or know the title.

Gunner Stahl in D2: The Mighty Ducks, there's no way in hell he's Iceland's hot shot player and then shows up a year later in D3 with a name change, speaking perfect English, and playing for the Eden Hall varsity squad. The EH Board of Trustees must be damn good at paper work, Fake IDs, and transporting illegals into the country
