There is something wrong with this picture.

Cool Runnings: The Reggae Movie
That doesn’t seem like much of a discount.

I was wandering through The Warehouse earlier this year, looking to kick off my DVD collection, and I saw the Cool Runnings DVD. Cool Runnings!, I thought. Jamaica has a bobsled team! I loved that movie in primary school. Buy buy buy! And I did.

Since then it has helped provide sufficient mass to call my DVDs a collection. The other day I had a crazy thought. Not to watch it - maybe later. But to check if my DVD player is all-region, as this one is region 2. So I put it in.

And no matter what scene I picked, or how much I fast-forwarded, it just showed some random reggae music videos. Maybe, I thought desperately, maybe they’re singing that Jamaica has a bobsled team.

Yeah, nah. There’s a word for people like me.

I’d be a rich man mother fucker

  2. Yeah, laugh it up, but I bet they would have got you too. I’ve seen that Crossroads DVD in your collection that is actually just a bunch of B-sides from before Hit Me Baby.

  3. Have to agree - buyer beware! I’m sure you would’ve noticed that Bob Marley was not in the original ‘Cool Runnings’ video … or was he?
