If we can include Clyde the Orangutan and the Gopher from Caddyshack (both of which made the semi-finals in the Contributor section in the site’s opening year) than we have to have Herbie the Love Bug, the racing car that comes “alive” and can drive itself when necessary. As laughable as it sounds, this generated multiple movies for Disney and made them millions. Saying that, do you really that a Volkswagen Beetle is winning race, mind of its or not? Let’s see it beat KITT in a race!

From the fun, though poorly reviewed boxing film, Grudge Match, we have Sylvester Stallone again donning boxing gloves, playing a former Light Heavyweight Champion of the World. Inspired by the Joe Kapp/Angelo Mosca debacle that occurred when the two former (and senior citizens) Canadian Football legends fought in a video that went viral on YouTube, the scenario was replicated in a boxing forum, thus leading to an inevitable fight between the two geriatric pugilists. We won’t spoil the ending if you haven’t seen it, but the boxing match shown on the film did not do a bad job in entertaining.

Yep. A Field Goal kicking mule from Yugoslavia that is capable of making it through the uprights from 100 Yards. As ridiculous as it sounds, this movie made money for Disney in 1976, and it was likely loosely based on the European soccer players who were starting to find their way into American Football. Still, the field goal kicking mule is more believable than Don Knotts as a Football Coach.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Gus (1976)
Actor:
Some random Mule
Position Played:
Place Kicker
Played for:
California Atoms
Why You Should Vote For Him:
A 100 Yard Field Goal shatters the current NFL record.
Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
Let’s again reiterate…it’s a mule.

We are a little torn on this nomination. As much as we enjoyed the coming of age Scottish film, “Gregory’s Girl”, the lead character (played by John Gordon Sinclair in what we believe was his only movie) lost his starting position to the object of his affection, Dorothy, who proved to be the star of the soccer team. Still, in terms of young characters, it is hard to find one better than this one.
