Based on the true story of the 1988 Jamaican Olympic Bobsled Team, the film first tries to lay down some kind of foundation for its ensuing comedy and story of triumph. We meet Derice Bannock (Leon), whose whole life seems to be about wanting to com- pete in the Olympics. We then meet his friend Sanka Coffie (Doug E. Doug), a carefree Jamaican, during a pushcart race (hint?). During the next pivotal scene, two other young Jamaican men, Yul Brenner (Malik El', Yoba) and Junior Bevil (Rawle D. Lewis), enter our view. Both, like Derice, are track stars who are trying to qualify for the Olympics. The next thing we find out is that none of these men qualify: we know right away that these four men will forever entangle themselves in each other's lives (I hope I'm not giving anything away). I. think the producers assumed we would have had a clue about the rest of the story by now.
