"I can't see through my helmet"

*Their agent smashes his helmet into his head*

"Thanks cap"

I fucking loved that movie. Some really cool stuff. Like they're out on the stage with everyone else and see the Swiss or something doing shenanigans so they feel compelled to try it but just annoy each other, until after a while they realize they gotta just be themselves

I don't know where the racism is. It's a funny movie but it's also extremely touching.

Of course it's going to have some racism in this movie, it's about a jamaican bobsled team going to the olympics! Doesn't mean the movie wasn't funny as hell back then, and heck it probably still is (haven't seen it in .. decades)

I think it was banned because they thought it was racist against black people...

"Cool Runnings? What's it about?"

"It's a comedy about a Jamaican bobsled team."

"So we're laughing at black people? Is this some kind of minstrel show? Cancel it now! Right the frick now!"

"...Yes, ma'am."

Racist how? Its a typical story of people overcoming the odds and changing the perceptions of others. It is meant to be inspirational. Plus its really funny.

This is a PG in the US and UK rated Disney film....


I don't necessarily disagree with you, but racism doesn't carry a specific rating. Song of the South would probably get a G rating, but is pretty widely believed to be wildly racist.

It implies black men competing in bobsled at a high level is unusual. Facts be dammed that's racism!
