Good Luck (1996)

Alternately titled Guys Like Us, Richard LaBrie’s tear-jerking sports drama Good Luck (1996) portrays the dilemma of a Seattle Seahawks wide receiver who’s blinded by a bone-crunching tackle. Feeling frustrated and sorry for himself, Ole (Vincent D’Onofrio) doesn’t expect to be recruited by an unassuming, wheelchair-bound dental technician (Gregory Hines) who’s looking to assemble a whitewater rafting team. LaBrie’s unorthodox buddy comedy features heaps of witty banter from D’Onofrio and Hines, plus a handful of left-field skin reveals. Diedre Kilgore plays an enthusiastic football fan who shows her appreciation for Ole by waving her flesh flag loud and proud.
