This is Disney plus Dietz, where we break down everything you need to know about your favorite Disney plus movies and Siri's I'm Kenneth and I'm Marcellus and not to toot our own horns, but we're pretty much the biggest Disney plus fans out there.

No, let's do it to be, That's right, Let's get into it.

So what would you say if I told you that instead of making a video today, we're gonna hop in a metal tube and go hurtling down a mile long?

I shoot at 90 MPH, I'd say.

Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme.

Get on up.

It's bobsled time.

Cool runnings.

Yes, yeah, cool runnings will always have a place in my heart.

Yes, the same for me.

Every time I see it, it just makes me happy.

It's one of those feel good films.

Shout out to Jamaica.

The island has won 22 gold, 35 silver and 21 bronze Olympic medals over the years.

Sadly, none of them in bobsledding yet.

Hey, sometimes good things take time like, for example, getting this movie made producer Don Steele was blown away when she read the cool running script based on the true story of the 1988 Jamaican Olympic bobsled team.

The film had already been greenlit, but in the studio she worked for God.

So so she ended up leaving the company on the cusp of greatness, yet foiled at the last second.

What does that remind me of exactly?

And that's where the film's title comes in.

Don still first came across the phrase cool runnings on a Jamaican beach, where it was printed on a T shirt for sale.

The movie had several working titles, but ultimately, Cool Runnings was chosen because it expresses exactly what the team's journey was all about.

The title Cool Runnings didn't translate well everywhere, so alternates were used.

For example, in Italy, the film is called four below zero in France, its roster rocket.

But the international release that meant the most to the filmmakers was Guess where I see where you're going here, director John Turtle Top says.

That was my number one barometer that, as silly as we may have gotten and as loose with the facts as we may have gotten, did Jamaicans look at the film with the same amount of pride that they looked at the actual Jamaican bobsled team.

And they do.

They do.

They love it, just like the characters in the movie who didn't give up on their Olympic dreams.

Don still wouldn't give up on cool runnings.

She refused to stop into the film became a reality, even if she has to produce it herself.

And speaking of not stopping, Lyonne stars as Theresa Bannock, the track star whose determination to be an Olympian takes him from Jamaica to Calgary to compete as a bobsled racer.

No, I gotta get a little serious.

Okay, sir, my heart ripped in half when I saw him fall.

You look up and you see it's like, Oh, no, somebody else is going and you see you see Number 30 running and it's just he's going already in the distance, and your dream is just feels like it's over.

I've been there, Theresa, I've been there.

Wait a minute.

You use on attracting?

Yeah, Theresa's best friend sank a coffee provides the film's comic relief, which is appropriate because he's played by comic Dougie.

Doug Thangka did.

Doug was still first choice for the role.

She couldn't picture sunk a as anyone else.

I'm a super fan of Doug E.

Doug.

Hilarious stand of hilarious Junior Bevil is played by Roddy Lewis, and he wasn't even supposed to be auditioning for the movie again or acting at all.

He was working for the casting director and he was reading opposite the actors, and they just loved him so much.

They were like, Okay, you got to be in the film.

Can that happen to me?

Malik Yoba, who played Yul Brynner, wanted to land a role in Cool running so badly he wrote an original reggae song about Jamaican bobsledding for his audition.

It ended up in the movie as well as on the film soundtrack.

Malik even got a record deal after the movie premiered.

Now our team is leaving Jamaica and they're heading over to Canada on their way.

Love this shot Asanka coming out with his locks frozen.

That's not really frost.

In Santa's locks, the hair makeup crew use dry ice to create singles.

Look for the scene, which was filmed on location in Jamaica.

The ice cream truck wasn't actually refrigerated, so Dougie Doug had to add cold while sweating it out in the middle track.

The filmmakers used the rial Olympic bobsled track at Canada's Olympic Park in Calgary, Alberta, as the location for all the winter scenes.

It got down to 25 degrees below zero while filming with 40 mile per hour winds.

And I thought I had a problem when you kept turning down the A C the 60 all summer director John Turtle Top, who you might know from the national treasure film Aziz Well, as While You Were Sleeping and Disney's The Kid was all about authenticity, especially in the bobsledding seen.

The bobsled sequences were all filmed on the real Olympic bobsled here, which is 1475 m long, just sort of a mile in 188.2 m high.

And all of that is frozen solid ice.

Just like my feelings for you.

You know, bobsledding is a seriously dangerous sport, so the cast had to go through intensive strength training.

They lifted weights, trained in rowing and even had a track coach to help them learn to push the £400 sled.

Okay, John Candy, listen, he came in and he said, I am going to do this.

I need to redeem myself, and I need to make sure that they know how to bobsled.

Cool Runnings isn't just about a bunch of unlikely guys trying to crazy sport.

It's about passion, determination and chasing your dreams, executive producer Christopher Meledandri says of the rial 1988 Jamaican bobsled team.

They set out on a journey that everyone told them they were foolish for trying.

They never listened to the disparaging comments that were made along the way.

This is a classic movie about the underdog.

Everyone counts you out.

Everyone believes that you're not gonna do it.

You don't have what it takes.

This is different, right?

But they have the audacity even come in and try to become Ah, what Jamaican bobsled team I love when they decided.

You know, they're like What we can be is Jamaican, and that's what people love when you just be yourself.

That's it for our show.
