Escape to victory
Dec. 26th, 2003 12:42 amJonathan Ross is referring to this film. I saw the end again last week. It was so crappy, it was funny again. Do you remember?
At halftime they could have escaped through a tunnel from their dressing room, but halfway down that tunnel, they decide to go back and finish the match. After Sylvester Stallone, the goalie, holds a last minute penalty, the allied forces team doesn't lose against the Germans. The crowd comes from the stands and takes all players out of the stadium.
Classic end. I always wondered what happened next. Pele in occupied France? I once started writing a story where the French resistance tries to smuggle the players out of the country. The only thing most people know about French underground is through Allo Allo. Use your imagination, combine the two, a new classic is born...
