巨人安德雷

和安德雷喝酒是不是很有趣
Wasn't it fun to drink with André?"
因为他们认为他是大名鼎鼎的千杯不醉
'Cause they think of him as this legendary drinker
他们觉得这很好玩 但实际上
and they think it's funny, but in fact
他喝酒是因为他很痛苦
he drank because he was in pain.
有一天我问他 他跟我解释道
And I asked him one day and he explained to me
他的脊椎 脖子 和他的膝盖
that his spine and his neck and his knees
都有困扰他的伤病
gave him a lot of trouble.
在拍摄过程中 他并不是特别健康
He wasn't that well during the course of the movie
因为他的后背情况很糟
'cause his back was so bad.
我总认为
And I always thought
问题会出在他的表演技巧上
that the hard part would be his performance,
但其实摔角的部分对他来说才是最难的
but the wrestling was the hardest thing for him.
起初的搏斗中 他不能撞到岩石上
That early fight he couldn't do against the rock.
-而且他抓不住罗宾 -他抓不住她
- And he couldn't catch Robin. - He couldn't catch Robin.
有一个场景是我应该
There's a scene where I'm supposed to fall
从城♥堡♥中掉落 然后他接住我
from the castle and he catches me.
他们必须把我吊上威亚
And they had to put me on cables
这样他的双臂才不用承受我的重量
so that he had no weight in his arms.
他对自己很有幽默感
He had this wonderful sense of humor about himself,
但他也有悲伤之处
but he had a sadness too.
他是巨人这一现实
The reality of who he was
在逐渐把他压垮
was getting more intense on him.
他知道自己活不长久了
He knew he wasn't gonna live long.
安德雷知道他的时日不多了
André knew that he wasn't long for the world.
他很痛苦 他非常非常痛苦
And he was hurting, he was really, really hurting,
我曾去拜访他
and I went over to visit with him.
然后安德雷告诉我 老板 我完了
And André told me, "I'm done, boss."
他说的完了 不仅代表摔角生涯的结束
When he said done, he meant not just wrestling,
还包括 拍摄完 我就不行了
but "After this, I'm done,"
也就是 我快死了
basically, "I'm gonna go die."
他跟我谈起自己的脖子 后背
And he told me about his neck and his back
还有其他部位的伤病
and things of that nature
还谈到了康复需要的代价
and what it would take to have it fixed,
但他对治疗一点也不感兴趣
but he was not interested at all.
然后我跟他这么说
And then when I spoke to him about,
这就是我过来的原因
"Well, here's why I came over, you know,
因为在密歇根州的庞蒂亚克有个建筑物
because there's a building in Pontiac, Michigan,
里面可容纳九万三千人
it holds 93,000 people...
胡克·霍根 世界重量级冠军
霍根牛逼
我觉得我们可以设法举办一场演出
...and I think that we could set up the promotion correctly
票房♥一定会大卖♥♥
and I think it would sell it out.
大家真正想看什么呢
What would everyone really want to see?
当臭脾气的安德雷进来时 他们会想
And as mean André comes in,
谁来阻止安德雷呢
"Who's gonna stop André?"
如果他脾气很差或者是个坏人
If he had a temper or you know, if he's a bad guy,
谁来阻止他呢
who's gonna stop him?
只有一个人或许可以
Well, there's only one person who might be able to...
安德雷身体状况很糟
André was in bad shape.
安德雷需要做背部手术
André needed the back surgery.
文斯不得不告诉安德雷
Vince had to tell André,
去做手术 延长你的职业生涯
"Get the operation, prolong your career,
回来摔角吧
come back to wrestle."
安德雷需要一个活下去的理由
André wanted to have a reason to live,
而不是去死的理由
not a reason to die.
他心里知道 如果能挺过这场手术
And he knew that, "Wow, I would have a whole lease on life
我将重获新生
if I can get through this operation."
霍根的魔力帮安德雷撑了过去
The allure of Hogan pulled André through.
霍根很多方面都像以前的地域性摔角明星
Hogan in a lot of ways was the sort of territorial hero,
但现在这个地域扩展到整个国家了
but now the territory is the entire country.
他们将反派带到他面前
They bring in villains for him to face,
某些时候你得
and at some point you gotta
想方设法带来一些更强壮更能打的反派
come up with something bigger and better.
巨人安德雷作为反派
André the Giant, as a villain,
比之前来的所有反派都更壮更能打
was bigger and better than everything that had come before.
当时我不清楚事情会怎么发展
Wasn't sure how it was gonna go down,
我在比赛时从未遇过困难
I didn't have a problem doing the job
直到安德雷打败了我
and André beating me.
这让我很头大
It made me just as big in my mind.
我想成为他那样的人 他才是主角
I wanted to be him, he was the guy.
表面上 这很惊天动地
On the surface, this is earth-shattering.
安德雷和霍根在做了这么久哥们后
André and Hogan are going to have a match
将进行一场比赛
after being buddies for so long
而且他们从来没对决过
and they've never fought before.
当然了 在现实生活中 他们曾打过
In reality, of course, they had fought before.
他们只在全国各地打过比赛
They'd only wrestled all over the country.
他们在佛罗里达摔角 在乔治亚摔角
They'd wrestled in Florida, they wrestled in Georgia,
在阿♥拉♥巴马摔角
they'd wrestle in Alabama,
在东北地区摔角
they'd wrestle in the northeast.
他们总是以双人组合的形式出现
And they would often be a tag team.
巨人安德雷和胡克·霍根两人
And it was a great attraction,
对抗反派 无论是谁演的
André the Giant and Hulk Hogan tag team
都对当时的观众极具吸引力
against whoever the villains were at the time.
没有人比这位巨人安德雷
I can't think of a better partner,
更适合做我的对手
a better person that'll stand toe to toe
一直与我正面交锋 战斗到底
and fight with me all the way than the big boss André the Giant.
为了《摔角狂热》第三季
For the purposes of "WrestleMania III,"
他们两人从未进行大规模对决
none of that ever happened.
那是一条不可逾越的红线
That was a hard and fast rule.
《摔角狂热》第三季之前发生的事
Anything that happened before "WrestleMania III,"
忘了就好
forget about it.
绝大多数通过有线电视吸来的新粉丝
The majority of the fans that are new cable fans
之前没见过这两个人进行摔角对决
have not seen these two guys wrestle before.
现在 我确信霍根和安德雷
Now, I'm sure that Hogan and André
《派彭陷阱》
1987年2月7日
偶尔在纽约地区进行过摔角比赛
had wrestled sometimes in the New York area,
但全世界还没看过这两个人相互较量
but the world had not seen these guys go against each other.
等等 这是要干什么 等等 哥们
Wait, what's going on here? Hold on, man.
你对他做了什么
What are you doing with him?
霍根和安德雷都上了《派彭陷阱》
Hogan and André are both on "Piper's Pit,"
然后安德雷和智多星波比·希南一起出现
and André comes out with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
你是我进入职业摔角行业的理由
You're the reason I got into professional wrestling,
你对我来说就是神一般的存在 是模范
you were like a God to me, a role model!
你不能跟他在一起啊哥们
You can't be here with him, man.
与智多星波比·希南结盟
Aligning yourself with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan
对一个职业摔角运动员来说是
is the most evil thing a professional wrestler can do,
除了扇老太太一巴掌以外最恶劣的事情了
except maybe slapping an old lady.
他受够了你和你所主张的观点
He's sick and tired of you and what you stand for.
对于任何一名摔角粉丝来说
It's the first time any wrestling fans
都是第一次看到安德雷变成反派
had seen André turn heel.
他在日本曾做过反派角色 但还是那样
He had worked heel in Japan, but again,
如果比赛不经美国电视台播放
if it didn't happen on American TV,
对世界摔角联盟来说就不算数
it doesn't count for the WWF.
你太嫉妒他了
You're so jealous of this man
你不能忍♥受这样
you can't stand it!
这是十五年来
This is the man for 15 years
从未被打败的男人
that is undefeated.
但你哪怕有一次
But did you ever once...
不 你错了 你错了
No, man, you're wrong, you're wrong!
公♥司♥的剧本把故事叙述的太完美了
The company told the story so perfectly.
这就是该隐和亚伯的故事
This was Cain and Abel.
圣经中兄弟相残的故事
我和你说话的时候 请你看着我
Look at me when I'm talking to you.
我在这只为一个原因
I'm here for one reason,
在摔角狂热世界冠军赛中挑战你
to challenge you for the World Championship match in "Wrestlemania."
安德雷 拜托 不 这不是真的
André, please, no, it's not happening.
我想让这成为一个伤感的时刻
I wanted to have it be such an emotional moment.
我知道当安德雷撕开我的衬衫的时候
I knew when André ripped the shirt
如果我能落泪 就能搞定这件事
if I could shed a tear, that that would seal the deal.
我们是朋友啊 安德雷 拜托
We're friends, André, please.
你不敢相信是吗
You can't believe it?
或许这样你就相信了 霍根
