Coach Smith (G.D Spradlin) teaches Henry Steele (Robby Benson) a tough lesson. Univ. of Colo. football Hall-of-Famer Bobby Anderson plays 'The Hitman' King in this scene from the movie 'One On One' DVD info from obpett@msn.com
The goon "Hitman" is Bobby Anderson. Bobby played football for the University of Colorado and set a rushing record at the '69 Liberty Bowl. Bobby was drafted by the Denver Broncos in '70 and played for them 4 years or so. He was a long time announcer for CU games after retiring from the NFL. His brother Dick Anderson played for the Miami Dolphins as a defensive back and intercepted 34 passes from '68 to '77. Dick was a member of the Dolphins undefeated '72 team.
@@bhmch39 Wow! I forgot about this one! Five years later and it just showed up in my Notifications...-goes too show, anything you say or do on the internet...stays on the internet! :-)
@@joenicholl5109 no worries. I always loved this movie. I recall getting a horribly feeling for him as soon as I saw the other player thinking "this aint gonna and well"
There's a guy that was a coach at my school that is built just like this goon and he cracked a 140 guy for no reason at a bar one night. Biggest jackoff ever
It's a great movie that brings back a lot of memories from the mid to late 70's. It's just as inspirational today as it was back then. Kudos to Robby Benson for a timeless classic.
This came out in 1977. Robbie Benson was in some pretty good movies back then, can't believe he is 62 years old now. Then again I am 54, where have the years gone?
Well, it's no _City Limits_ but it's alright I guess ;) All kidding aside, Spradlin is amazing in this. If he was alive today in his prime I could totally see him playing Bobby Knight or Nick Saban, he had that kind of intensity.
@@TheJer1963 agreed, and I think the 70s produced better everything, including movies and music. I too saw this movie at the theater. Remember how pumped people used to be to go to see a "feel good" movie like this, and come out completely satisfied with the happy ending instead of all this negative violent crap that's made today? Those positive themes made people happy...now? forget it - they have us worried sick about money, health, the future and everything else.
@@juliagomez5857 I just re-watched this a week ago. Remembered almost all my favorite quotes, including "well I'm going to show you what's inside of me you harry turkey bastard" 😂
all time classic movie. Robby Benson's character wins out in the end. The coach, G.D. Spradlin, just passed away today at age 90. A great character actor who also appeared as a coach in N. Dallas Forty, another classic.
I've always liked seeing Annette O'Toole and Bobby Benson in film and TV. Kudos to the actor that played the head coach in this movie. His character was very believable.
Very good and underrated sports movie. G.D. Spradlin plays a GREAT prick head coach, especially in this scene. Robby Benson also did a terrific job in this movie. I always wondered who the 'Hitman' was. Thanks for posting this scene and explaining. Bobby Anderson did a great job acting, especially since he had NO LINES. He had to intimidate with his eyes and grin! I knew he had to be a football player, he just had too much muscle for basketball.
I loved this movie as a kid and sports nut in the 70s ... recall it right in the heart of other classics JAWS, Rocky, King Kong (a smoking hot Jessica Lange made an impression), The Towering Inferno, Star Wars? --- but anyway, this and North Dallas Forty are a couple of the best, less often cited Sports classics
0:20 That's a suicide mission. That assistant coach was a damn assassin. The elbow was brutal, but when he throws that ball in and closes the range in 1 second..wow.
In the promo for the movie " Blue Chips" starring Nick Nolte and Shaq, G.D. Spradlin (COACH SMITH) reprises his role as Western University Athletic Director warning Nolte not to have another losing season. But the scene never appeared in the movie ! Too bad !
What a great movie this was. There is a lot of truth to things like this. Coaches could do whatever they wanted in the 70's and 80's. Robby Benson played a great part in Henry Steel. My middle name is Steel, too funny. Back in those days the coaches called all the shots. Just like the coach did in All the Right Moves. This is why travel ball was created and we have taken travel ball to another level where the high school coach isnt even called to asked about a player. So what was completely left and made a full swing to the right. They both are wrong but this is where we are at in 2024.
Great movie. Problems with paying athletes in today's world is brought forth in this movie. It was problem in 1977 just as it is a problem in 2018. Some things never change.
The coach couldn't have picked a bigger musclehead jerk lol. I was probably 10 yrs old first time I saw this and I found that guy pretty terrifying. Awesome movie. They simply can't make them like this anymore. There's no talent out there. Today it would star Mark Wahlberg and blow chunks.
MarkWahlberg pitching cheeseburger and standing in front of green screen as his agent cries to director, please don't hurt him next movie all ready lined up
@@stevenclarke8773 " WOLF, WOLF, WOLF, WOLF"....The even funnier thing is people watched him turn into a wolf, played the game as a wolf and nobody ran out of the gym.AMAZING!!
I Remember watching this Movie in the 7th grade way back in the 70's or 80's too long ago! Hahahaha! the memory is kicking in!!! my first sex movie as a Virgin! LOL
I remember this movie but didn't remember the goon actually knowing how to dribble, I thought he was hired muscle from the football team but he probably played for Iowa in real life
Remember seeing this in the theater when it came out.I remember that scene where Robbie takes home that woman from the party and she goes down on him in the car....
Easy solution to get the bigger fouling aggressive player off the team even if he is an instrument of the coach's evil schemes, wear a ski mask concealing your face, wait till he's coming out of the gym at night, eaze up behind him with a louisville slugger aiming low, and break both of his goddamn legs and never say a word, then have a buddy in a fast car with the tag covered ready to get you out of there in seconds.Guarantee no one would foul you on the team again,they'd know what's up
