It's interesting when there's such a sizeable weight difference between an actor and the character he's playing. For example, Frank Jasper was 30 lbs heavier than his character Brian Shute. While, Sylvester Stallone was about 30 lbs "lighter" than his character, Rocky Balboa.
i got into wrestling as a next from football, it made football a picnic.. i loved WWF, sgt slaughter, roddy piper all good till i git hit by a car n broke !y neck.... ANGRY FOREVER NOT TO GET A CHANCE AT THE SHUTE!!!!!
No weakness same as no strengths. Biofeed can be a asset when knowing what to look for. Weakness is most effective way of telling just how strong you can be once the switch is on. Self switching means self possessing the same as freedom. Freedom for our reality demands it. Standard control of mind body radio wave creates a base to fall back on. Base of nature in all things just because life belongs to the living. Now my own base is the standard try to rock my self knowledge and I will protect and defend myself. Weakness is to strong so without this mix of feelings life becomes unnatural. Stay strong and amp up louden only when necessary. Ready GET WEAK. Brian A Koller
Exactly!!!! If Gable wasn’t shooting promo commercials for wide world of sports he might have focused on the match more....... now every night he goes to bed he sees Larry Owings!!!
I went from 135 to 165 in basic training in '91 and I was considered a ''little guy''. Three years later, I was up to 185 while stationed in Germany and was still considered a ''little guy''.
I never wrestled, but I had several good friends in college who did. I loved "Vision Quest" when it came out, and still do; but one VERY unrealistic element in it is how (comparatively) good-natured Loudun remains while he's dropping weight. If there was one thing I learned from my wrestler friends, it's that, when a wrestler is cutting weight for a match, YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIM. "Hi, Sarge." "GRRRRR!"
I just saw your video where u met your bio sister for the first time. Are y’all still in contact? It truly was a happy ending. U are one brave soul to dive that high up. What was the experience like?
I had been involved in amateur boxing and taekwondo before high school. This movie is what inspired me to join my high school wrestling team. I still love this movie.
I never wrestled a day in my life, but this movie is easily top 5 or 10 for me. I was a very average high school football player and a below average college player but this movie really had an extremely powerful psychological impact on me and helped to inspire and push me to try to achieve more. Incredibly well-done.
I was a lucky 19yo who moved that summer to work and play before college started, in same city this was filmed and same college stadium Shute walked stairs scene, was also a real student wrestler, maybe team captain of? Shot school scenes across street from my Dairy Queen job and spent most out time watching production, equipment and actors going in and out. But they shot mostly at night and we always knew word of mouth where they were filming... no Paparazzi, cell phones or major security then.....That movie and seeing my first Def Leppard Pyromania Tour, 200 mi from home was a glorious time!!!!! This movie AND don’t forget awesome soundtrack bring me right back to that speck of time💖
I think that you being a collegiate athlete automatically puts you in the small percentage of the people who get to participate in collegiate athletics
He just did a podcast in September 2018, where he tells in detail, everything he went through. It was really interesting, about an hour, but goes by quick..they actually called him back 3 times for a couple shoots after he put the weight back on...poor guy...3rd time, he said he was up around 230 with a body building comp. 8 weeks away. He said I'll lose some but I'm not going to 189 again, only 200...it was the bathroom scene, so when he walks down the hall, after the louden confrontation, he said that could tell that he was 200 and not 189, lol! And definitely not 168...
Jennifer Cunningham I researched Frank"Shute"Jasper, after getting my heart rate up watching this clip 50 times! I wrestled most of my life. Actually until my mid to late 30s. Anyway great story about how Shute had to keep going back to shoot a scene over and having to cut weight each time!
@@sugewhitejacoby8654 lol! Yeah, you being a wrestler, I don't have to tell you the struggles and hardships of losing, and cutting weight :) I had friends who ran in sauna suits, locked themselves in furnace rooms, did carb diets, calorie diets, protein diets, as well as fasting and starving...definitely doesn't sound like an easy thing to do in such a short amount of time...wrestlers will always have my respect, mainly because they do a lot of this before and after practice as well, with only themselves to motivate sometimes...it's hard to get out of bed some days let alone, getting up and running 5 miles to start the day...i couldn't imagine the discipline needed...
Jasper (Brian Schute) just sent a personalized picture to me, when heard I had cancer...He even paid the $1.50 to mail it...which he refused to let me do...These people live in our t.v. sets and on movie screens...I guess I forget that they are actually real, lol! A pure class act!!
I exchanged a few emails with Jasper a few years ago and yes, he's a good man. We bantered and made jokes about how he would've destroyed Modine in a real wrestling match. Very true... Funny.
Shute--on the juice. Would love to see his real weight in. 165 no friggin way. And Louden dropping down to 165 from 190, he would stand no chance in hell. Starvation eats away at muscle eventually. Good movie thou.
Spoke with Frank "Shute" Jasper a couple weeks ago. I asked him that question myself. He stated that he had to cut down from 226 to 189 so that he didn't look 3 times as big as Louden. Really Kool dude. Check out his site at Shuteshirts.com
My name is Megan, and all you need to know about me is that my biological family treats me like crap and would rather pretend I don't exist to maintain a good image of themselves. They refuse to even say hello, and biological mother refuses to communicate anymore because I am "such a terrible person" for telling a few adult family members that I exist and she was given time to tell because it's not very nice being someone's dirty secret. Cousins, sisters, uncles won't even say a simple and kind hello because they're told it's disrespectful if they act like I exist. I have tried nothing but positive energy, kindness, and love towards them, and being loving but honest about my feelings, but it has been all in vain. I have tried to be helpful too. I will not lower myself to their standards (what standards?) by giving away their names. However, I will let the world know if someone treats you badly, even if it's your own family, the best thing you can do is stay the awesome, loving and kind person. My family had a chance in meeting a very altruistic, kind, and hilarious person their unintelligent loss. I was even going to dedicate my novel to them, but that wouldn't be worth it. Never think for a moment just because you're unloved by say your own mom or dad (or even find out your spouse of 20 years doesn't love you) that you don't walk this world with a purpose. Keep your heads high. I do have some cousins who are kind to me and I value them more than gold.
Thank you for sharing. You are correct. Not all stories are perfect. We have our difficulties and don't see each other as much as I'd like, but we are in contact with one another. I admire your strength and out look on your situation. As my story may inspire someone, yours also will be understood by others who can relate. If you and I don't put it out there and share them, there will be individuals who will always feel alone, with no answers or reasons why. I appreciate your post.
This is a beautiful story. I always get the feels for the adoptive parents as well, who took the baby in and loved that child as their own. How do they feel? I would feel happy for my child but a little left out, in a secret way... If you know what I mean.
My search began with starting a family tree. Sometimes going up a tree you will find a branch that will bring you close to your answers. God has a plan, time will tell. Hang in there. Thank you for sharing. E-mail me (ptgarcia68@gmail.com) and I will se what I can do for you.
as happy as I am with this reunion.. its not always this wonderful. My birth father was wonderful reconnecting with, but some of his children still doubt. & because of his age,, they pretty much control things.. It's ok, I got the best hug ever from my 'daddy' at the ripe age of 54.
Well, I understand. This all came about because I found my dad a few months earlier. He was nearly 60. I got to spend 10yrs getting to know him, his family and he spending time with his grandkids. Whom will never know he was missing in their lives. Though he may not have been in my life, he was in theirs. The day of his funeral his son said to me he wished he had know about me when he was younger. To be able to have an older brother. I had to to remind him of the successes and memories in his life. Had we been together, some of them may not have come to pass. I felt I have been blessed through the good and the bad. We are who we are today because of what we lived through in our lives. I can honestly say I would change a thing. Pray for ya and wish ya the very best.
What a BEAUTIFUL story! There is so much love in it that it really brings up a lot of emotion for me. You are all very blessed! I am close to the same age as Jennifer, and my name is Jennifer too. I went by Jenni when I was younger and some of my family still calls me that. I lived in Cali during the early/mid 80s, in Ventura county. I wish my birth mom had given me up for adoption. She was only 14 when she had me. I am sure I could have had a much better life. Your mom made the right choice.
So funny how her voice and mannerisms and personality seem so similar to her mom, so weird the things you wouldn't think are genetic that are. Great story, seem like all very nice people.
Paul Garcia I found her, but the stress level she's put me under is so immense right now. I know it's because she's afraid but she's asked me not to talk to my cousin and my uncle who already know about me and I don't think that is fair or right. So I am praying she stops being so afraid and learns everything will turn out alright. God gave her a second chance to get to know me.
Your faith is 100% correct. God has a purpose for everything. Your respect for her wish might be a good thing. Then there is the other side of the coin, curiosity. I believe that there are secrets in my family, come I my never know. Some have probably went to the gave with many. I still wonder and I will continue to research for answers. Continue your faith, but continue to search.
+Erica Herrera No vid. We are all still in contact. Andrea is now out of high school, Jen has another little girl and mom and her talk a lot more now. Thank you.
