I think Aldrich would get a kick out of my elementary schoolyard quoting lines from the film after a weekend tv showing (one of our best 70s/80s era stations showed a lot of films uncut).
This poster somebody could not make THE LONGEST YARD look more macho (or gay) if it tried. "For men, for women, for..." WTF is Reynolds wearing? Looks like a test for ZARDOZ. I like the film because it's the only Aldrich comedy that actually almost works as a comedy. As a kid, the tone shifts...
