We would be lying if we said that we ever saw Apollo Creed as a rubber handed golf instructor, but that role has to be Carl Weather’s second most well-known character. (Sorry, Action Jackson)

As much as Cameron Diaz was super-hot, her role as the annoying and clueless owner of the Miami Sharks, Christine Pagniacci just seemed to rub us the wrong way. Perhaps it was her condescending berating of the Coach D’Amato on the how the game should be played with the use of clichés and nonsense that bothered us; but wasn’t that the point? If she was a semi-likable owner, we would find a reason to cheer for her, but this was a Jerry Jones in a skirt, and symbolic of what was wrong with some of the owners in the big sports. Wait, did we just talk ourselves into voting her?

Another film we almost forgot, “Real Steel” is the story of a former boxer who programs a robot boxer (in the future, apparently robots replace humans in boxing) with his skills and knowledge. The movie is absurd in many ways, but when you have Hugh Jackman in it, and excellent production, it is easier than you think to lose yourself in the plot.



The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Real Steel (2011)

Actor:
Hugh Jackman

Role Portrayed:
Trainer/Programmer of Robot Boxers

Why you should vote for him:
Residue from Wolverine.

Why you should not vote for him:
The featured athlete is….a robot.
