Cool Runnings - Definition |

|
Cool Runnings is a 1993 comedy film, directed by Jon Turteltaub. It is based on the exploits of the Jamaican Bobsled Team at Calgary, Alberta, Canada in the 1988, Winter Olympics. It stars John Candy as a washed up, disgraced bobsledder living a destitute borderline legal life in Jamaica.
Candy's character is co-opted into organising a Jamaican bobsled team by three sprinters who had lost their chance to go to the Summer Olympics and a fourth member - a largely ne'er do well known for driving a push cart (Doug E. Doug).
The first half of the movie centres on Jamaica and assembling and training the team.
The second half of the movie is the drama of the Olympics and the fish out of water scenario of the laid back equatorial Reggae Jamaicans in both the arrogant European dominated sport and the winter Calgary Country Music culture.
The movie was made entirely in the actual locations.
