I just watched Heaven Can Wait on DVD. I saw the movie when it came out in 1978 and have seen it several times since. In the original movie the Rams played the Dallas Cowboys in the Super Bowl. This, of course, would not be impossible since both teams are from the NFC. In the DVD version I watched the Rams played the Steelers in the Super Bowl. Does anyone else remember this?
share[deleted]
Nope. The Rams always played the Steelers. There were interviews with Bradshaw before Super Bowl XIV (Rams/Steelers) in which he said he hoped the Super Bowl turned out different from the movie. I did a quick search for it and this was the closest I could find, but I know the quotes are out there if you feel like looking.
"Super Bowl XIV: In the week of build-up, the hotel in which the Steelers stayed in Los Angeles repeatedly aired the movie "Heaven Can Wait," which assumed an ominous tone in its portrayal of a young Rams quarterback who beats the Steelers in the Super Bowl."
The Rams could only beat the Steelers in a fairy tale like this anyway. Luv ya Black and Gold! Other than that very good movie!
shareThe Rams went to the Superbowl twice and won a SuperBowl so your comment is stupid tklaurent.
shareThe Super Steelers Super Bowl Record:5 wins, 1 defeat. The Steelers: 5 rings. Now they're working on the other hand. And I'll say it again: the Rams could only beat the Steelers in a fairy tale movie like this. Oh by the way, their 4th title? The real score? Steelers 31 LA Rams 19 complete domination in the second half. And The ST. LOUIS rams lone super bowl win: they barely won a game in which they were heavy favorites...came down to the last freakin' play. Don't even come near this comparison....snapperhead!
shareYeah, the Rams led after 3 quarters 19-17 WITH THEIR BACKUP QUARTERBACK!! Pat Haden was out for the playoffs and they had Vince Ferragamo (A Nebraska QB no less, not exactly a down field passer)in Super Bowl XIV. One interception and this game coulda been very different. We'll see how good you black and gold are this year when the Rams paste you Dec 20th.
shareWoulda, Coulda, Shoulda's, last time I checked, don't count. And we play (remember this now!) the ST.LOUIS rams on Dec. 20. LA lost their team (wahahahahaha!). Something that would never happen in Pittsburgh...EVER! And 19-17 after 3 quarters? WOW they really showed us! But yes LA hung around with us for awhile but in the end The Super Steelers pasted the LOS ANGELES RAMS 31-19 (a pretty good schlacking I might add)and the better team won. Bottom Line Again is 5 RINGS baby - one for each digit....
shareUpdate: Pittsburgh Steelers - 41 (10 wins 5 losses)
"ST LOUIS"Rams - 24 (3 wins 12 losses)
The Steelers only won their fifth superbowl because the officials were biased. Everyone agrees Seattle would have won with fair calling by those in charge. Seattle turned up expecting to play the men amd black and yellow only to realise they were up against the men in black and white also.
shareCmon'. Give me a F!@#in' break! The Seahawks scored 10 freakin' points. 10!. The Score wasn't 21-20 or 21-17...it was 21-10. How can you expect to win a game much less the Super Bowl scoring only 10 points? And when the game was close, who let Willie Parker run 75 yards up the middle for a back breaking touchdown?How many yards did Shaun Alexander have? Who frightened Jeremy Stevens into dropping all those crucial passes (actually one was caught and then fumbled but called incomplete)? Who was doing all that...the refs??? And if there were bad calls against the Seahawks in that game...you know what...great teams overcome bad calls pure and simple. Not only did the Steelers overcome some horrendous officiating in the AfC Divisional game against the Colts, The Super Steelers won EVERY playoff game on the road that year.The Seahawks had every opportunity to win that game. They just didn't make the plays.
Unlike Mike Holmgren (is he still weeping about this up in Seattle?) show a little class and stop whining about the refs! If you ever watch the game again,you'll see the Seahawks had their opportunities. Christ, their only touchdown was the result of a gift interception that set them up on The Steelers 20 yard line. If Rothelisberger makes that pass (instead of throwing a terrible pick) the game's a freakin' blow out! The result is still the same either way....Super Steelers:5 rings/ Sorry Ass Seahawks: Zilch
Oh Yeah, by the way, there was a little rematch this year of that game. Do you remember the score? I do. It went a little along the line of: Steelers 21 - Seahawks 0. Yeah that's right....Zilch, again.
...the ST.LOUIS rams on Dec. 20. LA lost their team (wahahahahaha!).Except now the Rams are back in hell-a they came back this year.
Don'tchya love DBs who live vicariously through others actions?
This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.

The Rams have been to three Super Bowls, winning one.
shareI agree. I don't remember them changing anything from the Movie to Video or DVD.
"What is necessary is never unwise." -- Sarek.
i saw it when it first came out and it was the Steelers and Rams ..
shareYup, saw it in the theater and it was against the Steelers. Where did Dallas come from? Beatty spoke of an upcoming game with the Cowboys but it was never shown in the movies.
And the Rams never needed a fairy tail to beat Pittsburgh. That's an ignorant statement. L.A. beat the 75 and 78 champs during the reg season which did count in the standings. When that 80 SB came around I knew we had a very good chance based on past performances.

"Based on past performances" in 1975 and 1978???? 5 years and 2 years before the 1980 Super Bowl game was even played???? Those two games gave you a good feeling about your chances TWO years later in the Super Bowl?LOL.
Look,ONLY in a fairy tale like this could the LA RAMS beat the Steelers in a Super Bowl. How's that? Better? Maybe the regular season...but never in the Big Dance...unless it's a fairy tale....AND...by the way, look who's in the Super Bowl Again! That's right, 7th time around, it's THE SUPER STEELERS. It's so fun being a Pittsburgh Steeler Fan! Luv Ya Black and Gold! How'd those Rams do this year? Better yet, how'd LA's football team do this year? Oh my fault...they let their team go. Never happen in Pittsburgh. Never.
Super Steelers do it again! The class of the NFL. 6 SUPER BOWLS! BEST FRANCHISE IN THE NFL - no question!
sharesilly ass internerds.

Super Steelers: Best Franchise in All Of Football! Hard to face the facts isn't it GEEEEEK?! LOLOLO!
shareWhere are all those Rams backers at???LOLO. O and 6 and counting LOLO.
shareSteelers ?
Didn't even make the play offs.
They seriously choked in the regular season.
The defensive line looked a right bunch of h****
Six Super Bowls. Pittsburgh Steelers: Most successful team in NFL HIStory. There's no other response needed other than that. Six Super Bowls....snapperhead!LOL
I notice you had no answer when your whining about the refs in the Seattle/Steelers Super Bowl complaint was thoroughly dismissed in the following post....and you DEFINITELY didn't have any response last year!LOL.
Got Six? Pittsburgh Does! No matter what you say, you'll never be able to top that.
This sums the steelers up beautifully .....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAn53a8USEw
not a browns fan myself but I love the dog.
It took you two years to respond to this...and that's what you come up with? LOL
The F!@kin' Browns?! hahahahaaa
Six Super Bowls. Six Championships.
There's really nothin' else to say but that. We Got Six. How many you got? You have no answer for that. Just like you had no answer for your other post that got blown out of the stratosphere LOL. Don't waste my fu@%in' time with the f@#kin' Browns who have never won anything since when....1948? Get the *beep* outta here with that pussy sh!t! Step up and use an example of your team (if it isn't the Browns)......you have no examples of your team?....you have to use the f!@kin' Browns? That's pathetic.LOL.
A team is only as good as its current season. Oh, thats right, the steelers season is over .....
shareWhat's a matter? You still too frightened to even bring up those Seahawks again huh?LOL They're pretty sad I know....especially since Super Bowl XL.HaHaHAHaHAA
Pittsburgh:City Of Champions...ONLY city with Six Lombardi's...And THE...MOST...SUCCESSFUL....FRANCHISE....IN....THE....NFL!And there's nothing you can say OR do about that FACT.
The Browns.LOL.Wow, are you reachin'. LOL. What a pussy.
City of Champions ?
Pittsburgh is one of the biggest dumps in America with huge poverty and depressed property prices. It has one of the worst airports I have ever been to and crime is rampant with only one catergory less than the national average. The only place I have been to worse than Pittsburgh is Detroit.
Pittsburgh most definately is 'The Pits'. Where do you think that phrase came from ?
Pittsburgh City Of Champions and Six Super Bowls...and you got to be out of your f!ckin' mind about that other bullsh!t - huge poverty? It's one of the most beautiful towns and consistently ranked as one of the most livable city's in the country.
Again, now that you have nothing in the way of the NFL left to say, you grasp at straws by talkng about....airports?!LOL Really shows what kind of pu$$y you are. Why'd you wait two full years to respond in the first place? Oh I know! I guess you really couldn't say anything while the Super Steelers were in the process of winning their SIXTH title huh? LOL
Pittsburgh: City Of Champions and Six Super Bowls. Nothin' you can do or say about that.
Now about those Seahawks.....still afraid to bring that one up huh? So afraid you're willing to use the pathetic Browns as an example LOL. That's fu@kin' sad! What a pussy you are? LOL
Pittsburgh: We Got Six! How many you got?
You go on living in 'The Pits' ...... probably the only place you can afford a house.
shareLOL That's what I thought.
The tell tale sign that you lost the argument is when ya tried to change the subject to airports...and ...and... "huge poverty"??LOL You can tell you've never had the pleasure of spending time in the City Of Champions: Pittsburgh - yeah that's right....Six Super Bowls!
STILL nothin' you can do or say about that!
As a matter of fact yes I have stayed in Pittsburgh. I was there in 2005 for a meeting at the convention centre and the first thing the manager of the hotel said ..... 'Don't go out at night if you value your life or wallet.'
I only rate Detroit as a worse place to go.
From the way you talk, you are obviously one of the many inbreds that live in dumps like Pittsburgh for generations on end. My advice to you, and this will be my last word on the subject, is to see some of the rest of the World. You may not believe it but there is more to life than living in a sh*thole like Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh unsafe???? What a total crock a sh!t! It's one of the safest large cities in the country - especially inside the downtown area you fu@kin' complete ass! LOL Then again....with you being such a Pussy, I can understand you particularly would be afraid of going out after dark.
LOL What a bullsh!t artist you are! He said "Don't Go Out at night...."LOL From the way you talk, not only are you a pussy...you're a bald-faced liar too!!!! "Don't go out at night.." What kind of bullsh!t are you tryin' to pass off here!? LOL F!@kin' Pussy-A$$-Liar. You probably thought I was gonna buy that drivel....Now, I know you're frightened to get on the topic at hand little girl but.....
Six Super Bowls. That's the bottom line. You avoid the whole subject of the discussion because I know ( and more importantly you know) you've lost the argument.
You can try and divert the conversation grasping at straws or spouting bullsh!t lies or talking about the best airports LOL or who has the safest city LOL Pussy...but in all these posts there's STLL nothing you can DO or SAY to change this fact PUSSY Boy: Pittsburgh - We Got SIX. How many you got??? Ahhh, but you know not to go near that one huh? You know you'll get buried again.
The hotel manager probably took one look at you and thought, "this pussy will get eaten alive out there" because for any normal guy (guy being the important word here) Pittsburgh is no more dangerous than Cleveland, Cinncinnati, Boston etc. Unless of course...you're a fu@kin' pussy!LOL
Read it and weep moron:

AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA In the Super Bowl ......AGAIN! REVN 4 Seven!!!! I love it!
share31-25 Packers....now THAT'S funny ass hole!!! Now I'M laughing my ass off! Now you can jump off the bandwagon and go support your local team, you chode! Ben Needabathlseberger is done! And so is Sh*tsburgh! Hilarious.

Lol wow you must be a real moron. The Rams????? Are u f&@kin' kiddin' me? That's like......like... a joke right? LOL and sorry but you couldn't ignore me if you tried moron. Haha and furthermore coming from that cesspool they call LA (who can only wish they had a pro football team lol) you knew you had no shot arguing PRO football with someone from the greatest PRO football town in America right? Right. Hahaha the LA Rams (chooooke, choooke,)....what an embarrassment LOL!
shareThey keep all the shots on the left side of the line so the logo is NEVER seen, but the jersey and helmet colors are certainly the Steelers. They probably did not want to pay for the rights, or the Rooney's had other objections.

"Woo-Hoo, Silent Bob's dead, long live me, Internet Guy!"
Let's not forget the LA Rams won the 1951 NFL Championship.
shareOh jeez, how could we have forgotten that? And while we're at it let's not forget the Frankford Yellow Jackets won the title in 1926 as well.Lol
shareWhat a pathetic performance against the Bengals.No wonder the home crowd left early. Somer serious reorganisation needed there.
shareCan't make the playoffs or go to the Super Bowl every year....it's simply not natural. Either way...we still have 6, and THAT will never change. So great being a Steelers fan, just think if you lived in Cleveland or St. Louis or Detroit etc. So spoiled, so f@ckin' spoiled.Lol
Whole crowd was there till the end.
Love that I still have you following this. Beautiful...lol.
OK, putting all the insults to one side, with the Steelers out you are in a better position than most to give an opinion on who will contest and win this year. What do you think ?
