Default Re: Movies: most improbable sporting event/feat?

If you're willing to count kung fu movies, which since they're all about athletics I think you should, then almost every one that comes out, especially now that wire work has gone from their secret shame to the norm.

I'll also volunteer the Karate Kid. Complete twerp achieves quick skill by learning from a fat old dude who doesn't really know martial arts or even remotely look like he could do anything athletic at all.

Most any fighting or dancing scenes in most movies. Most people neither fight nor move well, and most don't even move that well, so long shots are out and it's just a bunch of quick cuts that leave me completely unconvinced.
