Wildcats
From Hoosiers to The Mighty Ducks, it seems like “eccentric coach helps a team of misfits and underdogs win at an all-important game” is a sports movie cliché that’s been done about a million times.
Wildcats is just another in that long list, notable only for having a woman, Goldie Hawn, as the aforementioned coach and for being Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson’s big-screen debut.
Oh, also there’s one scene where #89, an African-American player wearing gloves, gets tackled. Then, when he gets up, he’s white and isn’t wearing gloves. That was some hit!
