Most Motivating Movie Character?

[Rocky_B]

Anyone ever become more motivated by a certain actor/actress in a film?

For me, reading about Tom Jane's intense training for The Punisher, and watching the movie every so often just does it.. gives me power


Oh and Rocky too of course ... Television show-wise, its all about Peter Manfredo from The Contender

 

[The Monkey Man]

I used to teach Boxing to teens - Used the Rocky theme to set the tempo for the AB portion of my Circuit class!! (Killer motivation)

Celebs???... All the Action Stars
Stallone of course... Arnold... Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jean-Clod-Gad-Damn(Even though he's a Cheese-Dick),
Demi Moore, UUUMMMMMMM... Nick Cage-(ever see kiss of death)

Lots of guys W/O hard for the Camera... I heard the Stars in the Matrix did some killer training

They're not all neccesarily physical motivations:

Mel Gibson- "Braveheart"
Ralph Macchio- "The Karate Kid"
Denzel Washington- "He Got Game"
Robin Williams- "Dead Poets Society"
Hiliary Swank- "Million Dollar Baby"
Brandon Lee- "The Crow"

Mrs. Doubtfire-----Robin Williams
Tootsie-----------Dustin Hoffman

immortal technique - revolutionary volume 2

That entire album gets me motivated to lift.

EDIT

Oops, assumed this was another music thread ><

Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart, or Rudy are some gooood movies to get motivated by.

That false steroid conception the movie perpetuates still makes me upset. But The Program is still a great football movie. They sell it at target for $5.99.

My favourite part is when he finds out he makes the team and runs out to the parking lot and puts his head through car windows. That rocks.

Exactly what did he motivate u to do? Sit on your ass?

 

[Squaggleboggin]

While I do hope you realize I'm joking, I do recall a certain episode in which he tries to train to lift against some huge guy. It was quite humorous.
