Google came up with Human as in a human being. :)

Have you figured it out yet? I gave a decent clue several posts ago (#241) but it won't help anyone that hasn't actually seen the movie and even then, it's only an indirect clue. The movie is basically about the guy in that picture although he is only on screen for a very short while. Of course it's not my place to give clues but I'm heavily medicated right now and have been known to use poor judgement on opioids. So if I were Chaplin right about now I'd be telling everyone that it's one of Steve's favorite movies of a particular sub-genre, ranking somewhere below The Sting and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

The movie isn't that great as far as filmmaking goes, but it's a pretty good pseudo-sports movie.

I wouldn't say the movie is about the guy in the picture, but I will say that his backstory figures prominently with the other characters in the movie.

And the final line in the movie is "NOW you motivate me."

And it is the first film of a certain blonde bombshell who had a lot of success in later years.

I'm pretty sure License to Drive and I Love You to Death were out before this one. Unless this movie was held back a few years? I'm not film savvy enough to know it isn't great filmmaking, I just know I enjoyed it quite a bit the first time I watched it. You probably need a few years in between viewings to really enjoy it though as it does tend to drag in a few spots. But I watched it about 6 weeks ago for the first time in more than a decade and enjoyed it every bit as much as I did the first time I saw it almost 25 years ago.

Wow you are totally right and I was wrong. This movie was 1992 and she didn't have her big breakthrough until 1996, IMO. So she still wasn't as well known in 1992.

Too lazy to look her up, is that when she skates into history?

OK, I remember the movie now. That skate clue helped but I still don't remember the name. It was a boxing movie with James Woods and Louis Gossett Jr.

That's right. Diggstown.

The judges give you the win on this one. You're up.

This movie covered a touchy subject.

I think I know what this pic is from but can't quite remember the name of the movie. Isn't he a hit man in this movie?


Edit: Never mind. Not the movie I thought it was. Good movie though.

One last hint: The movie is noted for it's execution.

OK, nobody guessed it above.

Hint #1 - This movie covered a touchy subject. - The bad guy could switch bodies by simply a touch.
Hint #2 - The movie is noted for it's execution - This all started after the execution of the bad guy.

Movie: Fallen starring Denzel Washington and John Goodman.

One of the Blades. I think Blade 2 and that is my guess, but it could also be Blade 3.

Ron Perlman helps.

Blade II is correct. It's the only Blade movie that Ron Perlman is in.

I really do like it the best although I could never understand how Whistler made it out of the first movie.

This one should be easy. The last one inspired me.
