-->'''Junior''': He doesn't have to be. All he has to do is know what he wants and work hard for it. And if he wants it bad enough, he'll get it. Look, believe me, Sanka, the more Yul Brenners we got making it in this world, the better off this world will be, especially for Jamaicans. ''(to Yul)'' Go on, Yul Brenner. Go get your castle.

* Blizter's entire speech to the Alliance after they disqualify his team. He pleads that the only person who should be punished is him since he's the only one who did anything wrong and the Jamaicans don't deserve to become collateral damage.
--> '''Irv Blizter:''' If it's revenge you want, take it. Go ahead. Disqualify me, banish me. Do whatever you want, but do it to me. It was ''me'' who let you down, Kurt. It wasn't my guys. They've done ''everything'' you've asked of them and they did it with all of you laughing in their faces.

* The very fact that, unlike what their film counterparts had initially endured, the real Jamaican Bobsled Team were NOT met with hostility or racism of any kind at the 1988 Winter Olympics, but were actually welcomed with open arms by the other competing countries and the Olympic community. On top of that, the East Germans, [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade while portrayed as highly antagonistic in the film]], were actually the most supportive and helpful in reality.

*When Derice goes to recruit Sanka to be part of his bobsled team he initially tries to play to Sanka's ego as the best push cart racer in Jamaica. However Sanka [[HiddenDepths doesn't take the bait for a second]] and instead tells Derice that if he really wants Sanka's help then he just needs to sincerely ask for it [[TrueCompanions because they're best friends.]]
