Believe it or not there’s an uncut version of Rudy on E
A few notable scenes missing from the theatrical film:
-There is a whole subplot involving that Mary girl who wouldn’t let Rudy paint the helmets. Apparently she’s also a writer for the school newspaper and learns of Rudy’s story. She must of been the one who wrote the article the announcer mentioned during the GT game.
-The priest who helped Rudy get into Holy Cross says goodbye to Rudy as he leaves to go on a mission in Bangladesh. That explains why he’s not at the game at the end of the movie.
-Rudy meets with Dan Devine to make sure he’ll still be part of the team after Devine takes over. Devine says he doesn’t like using walk-ons seeing that he has 90 elite athletes & only dresses 60. He tells Rudy he can still be on the team after Coach Yost spoke highly of him.

Rudy is now Mormon. Joined them about 10 years ago. 🤷🏻♂️

Never leave the Catholic Church, Jesus started it , and following Him is
the path to heaven.
References Matt 16:18, John 14:6, John 17: 20-21
Hope it’s not accurate or that he’s come back to the Catholic Church, he’s in my prayers this morning.
God bless everyone. 🙏
He more than likely still owes a few restaurants and bars a lot of $$ since he was more or less run
out of South Bend.
Rudy spoke at our Catholic school fundraiser about 10 years ago.
Allen Pinkett was also a speaker. Both incredibly personable. Took their time with each person taking pictures and signing autographs. Allen was a member of our parish back then and Rudy donated his time. Rudy said the movie was a made for Hollywood type thing. The creators left huge parts of his life out and included stuff that never happened. I was at the "Rudy" game sitting in the portable bleachers they used to have in the north endzone. Got some great Polaroids of G Tech huddling right in front of me, then getting stuffed by the Irish D as Tech tried to QB sneak its way out from their own goal line. Anyway, don't recall a "Rudy" chant or Rudy getting carried off the field. Doesn't mean it never happened. It means I was walking around on the field after the game and didn't notice it.
Rudy spoke at my son's football banquet. Chatted with him about ND...& had him sign my son's trophy
A week later he was busted in Vegas for a pump and dump stock scheme...
I was not at the "Rudy game". Was somewhere in the crowd scenes for the Rudy movie though...
