Had some classes in college with Shute (good dude) and several frens were extras, including the scene with Madonna at the Bigfoot Tavern…509 or die…
Yup. Know a bunch of the rassler dudes. Mostly Mead and Rogers guys. Ken Pelo/Cash Stone - classic war vet teachers but amazing men. Took no shit.
Always loved the scene before the big match where Louden is getting all pscyhed up in the old Rogers High School wrestling room. Disgusting stinky place. Then he busts out the door on the mat at SFCC which is about 3 miles from the Rogers wrestling room.
Or the 13 bridges he is always running south over the Spokane River in the opening scene?!?!
One of my old coaches / bosses was at SFCC then, and he tells a story about opening his office door and finding a young man sitting at his desk with his feet up. The kid looks at him and says "Who are you?" My guy points at the name plate on the door, and then says, "Who are YOU?"...the kid was Forrest Whitaker, waiting to be called for a scene...csb
