Thanks to Paul Stewart of www.bucpower.com, a copy of the 1990s made for TV movie "The Ricky Bell Story; A triumph of the Heart" is now available to every Bucs fan of all ages to enjoy via Bucstop.com.

Enjoy this clip in full 640×480 dvd quality, and it will be moved to a sidebar in a few days. The movie, starring Mario Van Peebles as Ricky Bell, has Mario wearing Bucs garb on the field during a real live Bucs game filmed at Tampa Stadium, mixed in with real footage of Ricky from his days with Tampa Bay when he was a Running Back from USC.

Inside the Movie- Bucs live action clips: The actual game your seeing is 1990 Week 14 Minnesota at Tampa Bay. Its one of the many errors made by the movie director; the 1981 Bucs Vikings game was openening NIGHT! Anyways, if you look close enough, you will sometimes see #14 Vinny Testeverde handing the ball off, or footage of #12 Joe Ferguson, who is white! Check out the O line too, funny I dont remember Ian Beckles blocking for Doug, Or Paul Gruber! All in all though, they did a good job and the Bucs were very helpful Im sure to help the movie get filmed on location.
