Ok maybe I need to spend less on here but thought this would be fun.

Who better represnets the people of vibe of the city. I know one is more based on a real person but again thought this might be fun.

Thanks in advance for any replies and think this may die on the thread quickly but here goes...

Maybe Rudy was SUPPOSED to take place in Joliet (I do remember that reference a few times in the movie) but I was pretty certain the movie was filed largely on the South Side and/or it's suburbs -- closer to Gary, IN. THEN he went to ND.

For the purposes of this poll however I don't think Rudy embodied Chicago, Joliet or South Bend very well at all, so I guess my hat goes to Rocky and Philadelphia. I LOVE both movies though!!

Rudy has nothing to do with Chicago whatsoever.

Thank You! Maybe Al Capone would be a better comparison.
