Storyline

Inspired by true events, Eddie the Eagle is a feel-good story about Michael "Eddie" Edwards (Taron Egerton), an unlikely but courageous British ski-jumper who never stopped believing in himself - even as an entire nation was counting him out. With the help of a rebellious and charismatic coach (played by Hugh Jackman), Eddie takes on the establishment and wins the hearts of sports fans around the world by making an improbable and historic showing at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. From producers of Kingsman: The Secret Service, Eddie the Eagle stars Taron Egerton as Eddie, the loveable underdog with a never say die attitude. Written by 20th Century Fox

Trivia

About 20 seconds into the official trailer, two football shirts appear on a clothesline; a maroon one with the number 5 and a green one with the number 1. It's a reference to the 2012 Scottish Cup final, where Heart of Midlothian beat city rivals Hibernian 5-1. See more »

Goofs

When Eddie's mum and dad are watching him on TV at Calgary 88 a reference is made that Eddie's dad want's to watch "It's a Knockout" on the other side. "It's a Knockout" was no longer on TV in the UK in 1988, the series finished in 1982, there had been a couple of episodes of "Christmas Knockout" shown in 1983 and 1984 and the "Grand Knockout Tournament" which aired in 1987.

Go see it, better than 90 percent of the garbage out there
17 February 2016 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Saw this movie at an advance screening and Eddie the Eagle was awesome.

The movie did not disappoint at all.

Great insight into the story of Eddie Edwards and the sport of ski jumping.

Very dangerous sport but very beautiful to look at.

The movie had a lot of heart and humor.

Will look forward to this movie making its way on Blu-ray.

I would gladly pay to add it to my collection.

Great visuals as well.

I wish the movie gets the praise it deserves as it really is better than a lot of the trash coming thru movie theaters now.
