Fun Stuff

Trivia:
With the movie being filmed in Australia, virtually all of the young men playing prospective Aggie football players were Australian. Therefore, all of the Texas accents - as convincing as they might've been - were indeed fake. more
Goofs:
Anachronisms: A sign reads "Texas A&M University". Texas A&M did not become a "university" until 1962. In the 1950s, it was called "Texas A&M College." more
Quotes:
Bear Bryant: I didn't work my pecker raw at Maryland and Kentucky to sit up and die at this miserable cow college! more

Well-done tale of early Bear, 14 December 2002
Author: Rick41 from West Chester, Pa

Tom Berenger does a nice, understated turn as a young Bear Bryant trimming the deadwood from his first Texas A&M squad. Bear's method - take the team to Junction, Texas, work the team to death and see who's left. I suspect the story's been somewhat "Hollywoodized". Just the same, it presents a fair picture of the positives and negatives of driving a team to the edge. Worth a view.
