The Replacements (2000)	comment	A not-so-typical football movie made in 2000, directed by Howard Deutch and starring Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman.A rag-tag group of semi-pro and amateur football players are collected by an esoteric former coach for one last shot at the big time. Thanks to a football strike by dozens of pro players, and in some cases (notably Washington, the team of focus in the movie) entire teams, replacements are hired to keep the team's standings intact 'till the end of the season... they turn out to be even more awesome than the actual team they're replacing.It's nasty out there...Not to be confused with the Disney Channel animated series of the same name.

In the final minute of the last game of the movie, we get this exchange:

The Replacements (2000) / int_188668f2	comment	Redemption Quest: This happens to Shane Falco. Falco had notoriously choked in the final game of his college career, and performed miserably in his little time as a pro, so this last chance at the game represents a chance for him to erase that image. All of the replacement players have this mindset, and Coach McGinty is in the same boat himself. He points this out in the briefing before the second game.

Later on, when Martel (who is wearing a red shirt) is making fun of the deaf teammate, Falco tells Bateman, "Remember what I told you about red shirts? Forget it!" The bar brawl ensues.

The Replacements (2000) / int_64325825	comment	Who Needs Overtime?: In a must-win game, the Sentinels score a late touchdown and opt to go for two and the win instead of kicking the extra point for the tie. Falco throws a bad pass that hits a defender in the hands, but it pops up into the air and reaches its target anyway. With a trip to the playoffs on the line, Nigel steps up to kick the tying field goal, but is under pressure to miss the kick because of the mob. Falco, the QB and holder, changes the play, takes the ball for himself and rushes into the endzone for the game-winning TD. Subverted when a holding call negates the TD. But since Nigel got injured on the play, they have no choice but to go for the touchdown again and this time they get it.

The Replacements (2000) / int_85557b38	comment	Reality Is Unrealistic: The movie is loosely (very loosely) based on the real-life 1987 NFL strike. The Washington Redskins actually won three games without any of their regular players, and went on to Super Bowl XXII. They won, but the movie doesn't actually go that far. The Sentinels beating a Dallas team whose entire team has crossed the picket line is true. The 1987 Redskins Replacements actually beat a Dallas team that had more than 20 "real professional" players, including starting quarterback Danny White, defensive tackle Randy White and running back Tony Dorsett. Not only that,the 1987 strike was officially announced to be over before the game so the replacements knew this would be the final time they would play. The multi-fumble play was also based on real life. In another shocker, Madden was COACHING one of the teams involved with said play at the time it happened.

They're forcing him to blow the kick to make up for it. Shane can either let Nigel blow the kick, and lose the game, or try and get a replacement (a replacement replacement?) kicker before the timeout runs out. He decides on a third option in a dramatic snap-cut. He takes the ball and runs, flattening several opposing players blocking his path. It works, but the play is negated by a holding penalty.

Funny and cool... except by NFL rules, only one penalty can be enforced on a single play, meaning the Sentinels should have only been backed up 15 yards.
