That scene always makes me cry. Great speech!
Officer Collins: You see, a pimp's love is very different from that of a square.

The process of getting there is the quality of being there
Classic stuff. I was taken aback when I watched Vision Quest for the first time and heard Pele mentioned. Great monologue.

It was a great scene!
shareJust watched it tonight for the first time in oh, I guess, about 27 years, and I was moved by the scene as well. This movie was a true diamond in the rough in the challenged 80's decade of B-movie cinema.
Right. Well, I have to-- I have to go now, Duane, because I, I'm due back on the planet Earth.
agree, great dialogue and acted very well. I think that it is why people like sports so much, and why a lot of guys like this movie even if they weren't a wrestler. yes the winning and losing, but what special athletes can do that the rest of us can't, even for a moment. Nice post
