Where do you think
you're going, young man?

00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,793
Rome. I'm going to hold
my breath at the Olympics.

Hmm.

00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,913
You better take this then,
hadn't you?

18
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,356
I told Mum I'm going
to the Olympics.

19

for nearly 58 seconds.

I tell you what.

Why don't you
jump in the van

22
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,917
and then me and you
can hold our breath
all the way home?

a bit mad, mate.

You've made quite
an impact today.

I was trying to.

Yes. Um...

we both know that
you've gone...

111
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,434
...as far as you can go
with the squad.

112
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,794
We shan't be selecting
you for the trials,
I'm afraid.

113
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,114
But, um, keep up
with the training.

no, you're not.

run times just as good

119
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,159
as any of that lot.
Yeah, well...

120

It's not all about speed.

121
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,116
It's about what school
you went to, is it?

122
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:03,199
Frankly, Eddie...

123
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,190
...you will never be
Olympic material.

get yourself qualified.

126
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:29,196
I mean it's not exactly
a career, is it? Skiing.

127
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,474
I mean, how much
does a downhill
skier earn? Huh?

128
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:36,155
What's the
take-home pay
after tax? Hmm?

129
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:39,320
Is there a pension?
I doubt it very much.

130
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,312
Get yourself qualified
for something useful, Eddie.

131
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,993
Yeah, all right, Dad.

132
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,240
I get the point.

133
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:49,990
You've been banging on
about it since I've been

134
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,515

No more downhill, then?

140
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,919
Not exactly
a career, is it?

141
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,593
Not even for fun?

to disappoint you but, um...

...we haven't
got an Olympic
ski-jumping squad.

Mr. Mooney comes
out of retirement.

00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,034
Interstate youth
champion 1968.

355
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,517

under Warren Sharp.

357
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,871
PETRA: Yeah.
The great American coach.

358
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,156
Peary was his star jumper.
He broke records.

359
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,119
He was really
a gifted flyer

360
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,233
with a very
special style. But...

361
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,191
...he was too crazy,
you know?

362
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,516
And now he's just crazy,
but in a different way.

363
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,632
Bronson Peary. How come
I've never heard of him?

364
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,399

Petra, do you mind
if I borrow this?

370
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,710
Yeah, take it.
Okay, thanks.

have a little chat about

372
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,956

Olympic ski-jumper.

373

a ballerina than a jumper.

a lot of stories, man.

387
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,910
Britain doesn't have
a ski-jumping team
so I was thinking...

388
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,913
Okay. Now I know
you're crazy.

stretching up...

into your descent.

take-off downwards. Okay?

sitting there?

542
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:34,152
I'm going to the
Olympics in Calgary.

watch it on TV?

a golden opportunity.

The only thing I need to do
to qualify is compete.

Eddie, okay.

556
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,514
Eddie, the smallest Olympic
jump is 70 meters. Okay?

557
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,478
You'll die if you try it.

558
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,273

takes four years

Well, I'm not
the average jumper.

561
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,551
Correct. You're well
below average.

the 40 meters in a day.

00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:07,196
That was better, weren't it?
Whoo!

708
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,073
Bo Derek! Yeah, baby!

709
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,152
I think a little bit
of wee came out.

710
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,555
So, all you have to do
is make this landing
and you qualify.

711
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,154
One jump away
from the Olympics, man.

712
00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:22,038
Get your skis.

713
00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:24,200
Okay. Stay focused.

714
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,392
Do everything
I told you to do
only better.

715
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,832
A lot better. Go.

treat every jump

718
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,637
as if it is your last.

719
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,679
We are saying for us,
that is easy.

720
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,280
Oh...
(CHUCKLES)

721
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,716
I know the feeling.
(SPEAKING GERMAN)

722
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,111

00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:58,555

725
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,240
Good luck.

726
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,240
Edwards. Great Britain.

727
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,470
Come on, Eddie.
Come on, man.

728
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:24,560
Bo Derek.

729
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,634

Well, technically,
you haven't.

768
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,073
Because you just
changed the rules.

769
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,880
It costs £4.5 million

770
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,151
to send a National Squad
to the Olympics.

771
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,715
The Government gives us
a mere fraction of that.

we make up the difference?

Sponsorship.

775
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:21,478
These companies pay

776
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,677
to be associated
with certain qualities.

777
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,471
Excellence.
Achievements.
Victory.

778
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,513
Strangely, they
have no desire
to be associated

779
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,791
with ludicrous
antics and defeat.

780
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,071
So, why do I stop
being ludicrous

781
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,152
if I jump 61 meters?

782
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:38,430
That is the distance

783
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,354
ratified by our
Safety Committee.

784
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,594
Personally,
I'd prefer it to be higher.

785
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,760
Or is it longer?
I never can tell.

786
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,036
Either way,

787
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,198
we will not have
amateurs in the Olympics.

788

was for amateurs.

EDDIE: I know.

799
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:21,789
The only way to qualify

800
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,156
is to make 61 meters
in competition.

801
00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:25,959
So I'm gonna go
on the European circuit.

802

said than done.

you to come, too.

00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:42,912
So, if this is you now...

808
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,392

are they asking you to jump?

If I'm gonna go
on the European circuit

813
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,992
I'm gonna need to raise
some serious cash.

814
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:08,759
Yeah, well,
don't ask us,
we ain't got any.

815
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:10,110
I know.

00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:11,680

for the van?

817
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:13,592
Can't that wait
till next year?

818
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,035

good enough, was it?

I don't wanna be late.

Mmm. Yeah.

gonna like what I did
with our savings, either.

I sorted out the transport.

snow on the seat.

This window is a bugger.
(SQUEAKING)

855
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,712
I think it's a good thing
they turned you down,
man. It is.

856
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,390
I mean, 61 meters
is a genuine distance.

857
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,756
Means you gotta
do this for real.

858
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,355
Well, it's easy
for you to say,
you were a champion.

859
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,551
You were always
really good.

860
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:28,352
I was kicked off
every team I was ever on

861
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,113
before I even got
a chance to prove myself.

862
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,999
Believe it or not,
I do know what it's like
to be written off, Eddie.

863
00:55:33,720 --> 00:55:34,915
Of course,
my solution was

864
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,640
just to crawl inside
the bottle here, but...

865
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,954
I was in hospital
for a year when
I was a kid.

866
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:44,633
Dodgy knees.

867
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:50,474
All the doctors said
I should give up sport.

868
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,113
Take up reading.

869
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:56,595
First book I got:

870
00:55:56,720 --> 00:55:59,189
The Official Olympic
Photo Album 1972,

871
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:00,396
BOTH: Moments of Glory.

872
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,073
Yeah, I know it.

873
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,590
Well, anyway,
that is the book

874
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,559
that made me realize
I needed my own moment.

875
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,557
That one thing I could do
to prove them all wrong.

876
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:21,832
Do you think I'm mad?

877
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:23,150
Yeah.

878
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:24,676
(CHUCKLES)

879
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,798
You're completely
mad, man. But, hey...

880
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,355
...you kinda gotta be mad
to do this sport, right?

881
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:31,630
Yep.

882
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:34,310
So...

883
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,432
...if you want your moment,
Eddie Edwards,

884
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,318
I can get you your moment.

885
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:41,960
But it's gonna
hurt like hell.

886
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:44,759
For both of us.

887
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:50,919
We need to get you
some proper equipment.

888
00:56:54,240 --> 00:56:55,390
What are we doing here?

889
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:56,755
Shopping.

890
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,513
Perfect.
Size 11, right?

891
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:05,716
Mm-hmm.

892
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:07,433
Oh, wow.

893
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:12,079
Peary, is this not theft?

894
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:13,879
It's the Lost and Found, man.

895
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:15,758
Come on. Some guy dropped
10 bucks on the street

896
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:17,354
and you were to pick it up,
would that be theft?

897
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:18,516
EDDIE: Yes.

898
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:20,040
What if he didn't know
it was missing?

899
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,191
Then I'd give it
to charity or something.

900
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,916
Eddie, you are a charity.
Your needs are much greater.

901
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:27,679
What about you?

902
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:30,550
Me? I'm just
stealing these.

903
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:40,871
Any better?
It's not better. It's crap.

904
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:52,590
It's more difficult
than I expected.

905
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:53,670

your own, man.

918
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:03,753

I could've done
two jumps by now.

Come on.

And that was without
a headwind or breakfast.

This is my last chance.

You've got to give me
another run.

it doesn't help me.

This year it's 61 meters.
Next year it'll be 71 meters.

Then it's too late.

956
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:44,114
I am going up
that hill to jump

957
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,396

to record my distance.

958
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:48,919

to know, for me,

this to both of you and...

make it up to you.

I'm never going
to the Olympics.

are going to Canada.

never gonna let you back.

You understand that?
So?

1009
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,517
So, all you can prove is
you don't mind coming last?

1010

Mmm...
I don't mind really.

we should take another
four years. Okay?

1013
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,235
Let me coach you properly
and we can do this for real.

1014

You could even jump
the 90 meter

EDDIE: What's
the matter with you?

1021
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:44,310
We should go back in '92,

as a contender.

from the Olympic Squad

to apologize. Okay?

on my knees

1029
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,192
and I begged him
to let me jump again.

1030
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:00,317
You wanna know what
his last words to me were?

1031

"You will never take
jumping seriously

take yourself seriously."

I thought you
might need this.

1054
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,597
Don't think I'm gonna be
winning any medals, Mum.

1055
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:40,353
Well, you never know, pet.

1056
01:08:40,440 --> 01:08:42,955
But if not,
you'll like the sandwiches.

1057
01:08:43,480 --> 01:08:44,800
Thank you.

1058
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:47,310
Your dad's sorry
he couldn't come.

1059
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:50,674
Have fun.

1060
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:52,515

Okay, give me some space,

I know.

This is my second
Olympics, Eddie.

1072
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:54,995
So I know exactly
how you're feeling.

1073
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:56,639
Little bit overwhelmed,
I imagine, huh?

1074
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:58,200
Just glad to
be here really.

1075
01:09:58,280 --> 01:09:59,475
(LAUGHS) Yeah, I bet.

about him, okay?

You're part
of the team

01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:05,349
and that makes you
okay in my book.

1080

In fact we've got
a little team
tradition going.

1081

I'd love you
to come along.
Come on.

1082
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,710
I was gonna have a stroll
and get my bearings.

1083
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:13,359
Your bearings?
What do you need to know?
We're in Canada.

1084

You've got mountains
and snow, all right.

1085
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:16,714
Now you've got
your bearings.
You're gonna love this.

Come on, man. Everybody
on the team does it.

1090
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:27,914
Do you wanna put
a curse on us all?

1091
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:29,434
A curse, really?

1092
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:32,160
Look, Eddie.
It's just a thing, okay?

1093
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,431
Some of the guys believe it.
It's for good luck...

1094

a team tradition, Ed.

1095

and a mineral
water here, please?

rather surprising

considering you were not
with the team earlier.

you were not with us

He would never
have experienced

1169
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,719
an atmosphere like this
before, that's for sure.

1170
01:14:05,440 --> 01:14:07,272

at the Olympics

1173

he's the first of many.

Yes, yes!

1176

COMMENTATOR: To say that
his style is unorthodox

1177
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,356
would be something
of an understatement...

works for him.

Britain's Eddie

Some people are calling him
Eddie "The Eagle."

1213
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:39,353
I think, given his distances,

1214
01:16:39,440 --> 01:16:42,319
Eddie "The Penguin"
would be a little more apt.

1215
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:44,835
But at least we have the
90 meter to look forward to.

1216

that truly separates

is Eddie "The Eagle"...

1220
01:16:51,440 --> 01:16:53,432

than Bronson Peary...

his unconventional
return to the sport?

1416
01:26:56,720 --> 01:26:59,076
WARREN: In jumping
there's an expression...

1417
01:26:59,960 --> 01:27:01,792
..."You're never
bigger than the hill."

1418
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:04,634
And that was
Bronson Peary to a tee.

1419
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:08,636
I never could deal with that.
It broke us apart...

1420
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:12,356
...because, as a young man,
he had such talent.

1423
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:22,553
As a jumper
he was so disrespectful...

1424
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:24,990
...of the sport
that I'm afraid he's gonna do

1425
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:27,356

01:38:57,800 --> 01:39:00,793
"Now the real work begins.
WS." Warren Sharp.

1567
01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:02,075
Yeah. Yeah.

1568
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:06,396
So how about it?
Here's to the
next four years.

1569
01:39:11,400 --> 01:39:12,880
Ah.
Ugh.

1570
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:14,633
God, that's good.

1571
01:39:17,040 --> 01:39:19,430
(CROWD CHEERING)

1572
01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:31,190
Hello, Mum.

1573
01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:32,840
Hello.

1574
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:34,354
Where do you think
you've been, young man?

1575
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:37,031
Competing
in the Olympics, Mum.

1576
01:39:57,960 --> 01:39:59,474
I'm so proud of you, son.

1577
01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:03,438
I mean that.
I'm so proud of you, mate.

1578
01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:05,393
Thanks, Dad.

1579
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:37,233
So proud of you, man.

1580
01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:39,232
(ALL CHANTING)

1581
01:40:56,200 --> 01:40:58,476
I'm shouting

1582
01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:01,997
Don't care who is listening

1583
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:05,517
Don't live here,
I'm visiting

1584
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:09,674
To go where I've never been

1585
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:12,400
I'm reaching

1586
01:41:12,480 --> 01:41:16,156
'Cause this isn't far enough

1587
01:41:16,240 --> 01:41:19,677
There's more
in this heart than love

1588
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:24,272
Won't stop
till I'm high above

1589
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:27,751
I'm cursed with anticipation

1590
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:31,390
I have no time
for conversation

1591
01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:36,037
Look at me,
I'm free to do what I want

1592
01:41:36,120 --> 01:41:38,430
What I want

1593
01:41:38,520 --> 01:41:41,957
Come on, thrill me
Come on, kill me

1594
01:41:42,040 --> 01:41:45,351
Feel the blood rush
Round the body

1595
01:41:45,440 --> 01:41:48,831
Can't hold it in
and I can't fight it

1596
01:41:48,920 --> 01:41:52,550
Can't turn away
and I can't hide it

1597
01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:56,077
Come on, find me
Come on, blind me

1598
01:41:56,160 --> 01:41:59,631
Look, the fear
is far behind me

1599
01:41:59,720 --> 01:42:03,077
What was just a dream
now will be

1600
01:42:03,160 --> 01:42:06,710
I'm calling to the world,
Come on, come on, thrill me

1601
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:21,716
Come on, thrill me

1602
01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:25,635
I feel alive
when you're with me

1603
01:42:25,720 --> 01:42:29,430
I feel the endless
possibilities

1604
01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:32,718
You give me something
You give me something

1605
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:36,635
You give me everything

1606
01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:40,111
And I will make it
all worth it

1607
01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:43,989
Yeah, I will reach
the summit white as snow

1608
01:42:44,080 --> 01:42:47,152
You make me wanna
You make me wanna

1609
01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:50,199
You make me wanna be yours

1610
01:42:50,280 --> 01:42:53,910
'Cause we were honestly

1611
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:57,516
We were nothing
more than each other

1612
01:42:57,600 --> 01:43:01,037
But I needed you
Yeah, I needed you

1613
01:43:01,120 --> 01:43:05,512
Like you needed me

1614
01:43:06,440 --> 01:43:09,717
Learning to fly
Out of the sky

1615
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:13,635
Traveling high
Learning to fly

1616
01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:16,952
All over town
I'm coming down

1617
01:43:17,040 --> 01:43:20,875
Out of the sky
For you

1618
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:24,317
Learning to fly
Out of the sky

1619
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:28,235
Out of the sky
I'm on a ride

1620
01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:31,791
All over town
I'm coming down

1621
01:43:31,880 --> 01:43:35,669
Learning to fly
For you

1622
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:40,039
I can see the eagle landing

1623
01:43:42,560 --> 01:43:45,951
It's all I wanna do now

1624
01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:50,871
Didn't think
I'd ever get so high

1625
01:44:02,560 --> 01:44:06,873
Take me to that
hallowed ground

1626
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:13,997
High above
So safe and sound

1627
01:44:16,320 --> 01:44:22,078
Do your best
to clip my wings

1628
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:28,600
You see, my skin
is thicker than you think

1629
01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:32,196
So I lock away that madness

1630
01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:35,671
Keep emotion in a tight fist

1631
01:44:35,760 --> 01:44:42,599
Gonna hold my head up high
until I reach the summit

1632
01:44:46,280 --> 01:44:50,672
Ascension

1633
01:44:52,840 --> 01:44:57,676
Just sky holding me

1634
01:44:59,240 --> 01:45:02,551
Oh to rise like an angel

1635
01:45:02,640 --> 01:45:06,236
Just to kiss every star

1636
01:45:06,360 --> 01:45:09,432
See the cloud's
silver lining

1637
01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:12,957
Flying high and far

1638
01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:18,911
Oh, ascension

1639
01:45:20,280 --> 01:45:25,560
Ascension
