Film Land Competitors: Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid (Paul Newman, Robert Redford)
From:
Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid (1969)

It’s about relative rather than absolute scores here, but we still reckon that Butch and Sundance would be in with a chance. Sure, they’re not in nearly as good shape as most of their opponents; sure, their jump off a canyon lip into the river below is hardly what you’d call elegant, but by the sheer law of averages we’re certain that they’re due to one day succeed at something. They clearly have a great rapport, which helps, they demonstrate no fear of heights, and while Sundance may claim that he can’t swim, he clearly manages to stay afloat down a river so should have no problems in an Olympic pool. Now all we need is to teach them the flippy bits.

1 And more besides....
How about Neo for Tae-Kwon-Do? Or those Zombie Nurses from Silent Hill for Women's Hockey? Who's going to want to get close enough to them to get the ball off them? How about a set of WB cartoon characters for Basketball? They should make a movie about that? ;-) More
