chrimart Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 I saw the film yesterday and I was moved.This is a classy film for a national hero.Habs players should see this film to be inspired.FYI: Many players and NHL pundits do cameos in the film:Mike Ricci (as Elmer Lach)Vincent Lecavalier (as Jean Béliveau)ed Sean Avery (as a crazy Ranger, who treats the Rocket as a frog... interresting not?)I don't know if the film is present in Canada outside Québec. I saw the film in French, as almost bilingual as I am, I recommend to see the film in original french version (with subtitles maybe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I've never liked the Rocket. I hear he's a cocky guy and has the biggest ego possible. My grandpa worked for customs and one time the Canadiends came through. Long story short, the Rocket refused to deal with customs because as he put it " Don't you know who I am? I'm Rocket Richard!"He sure was one hell of a hockey player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollux Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Habs players should see this film to be inspired. They saw the movie before it was even shown to the media, in order to let them see who Maurice Richard really was.I'll make sure to go see it in theaters, looks like a really good movie.

spyboy1 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Pascal Dupuis from the Wild is also in the movie.Roy Dupuis, no relation to Pascal, who plays Rocket Richard was the star of the old La Femme Nikita TV series, a show I really, really loved. In fact, his character was called "spyboy" by the shows fans, and is where my board name comes from.It will be interesting to see Ricci in the movie without his usual hair...JeffB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Mike Ricci (as Elmer Lach) I didn't realize Elmer Lach was so ugly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 So the movie's just called "Maurice Richard"....not too creative, but I'm looking forward to seeing it sometime. Hopefully it opens nation-wide and not just on limited release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmorss9 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I'll be at a theater on 3/10/06 for the English version. Times like this when I wish I had learned french instead of spanish.And for the record, everytime I saw Richard, he was a consummate gentleman.
