Quotes:

President: [to Chuck about his protest of the nuclear missiles] Now Chuck I can't deny you the right to protest, that's in the first amendment and God forbid that should change. But there's an old saying: "You can't run into a crowd of fear and yell fire!"
[pause]
Chuck Murdock: But sir. What if there is a fire?

Soundtrack:

Love Has No Pride

Says amazing things about the human spirit!

While ultimately this movie may be incredibly unrealistic, Amazing Grace and Chuck still has an important and powerful message about the need to make sacrifices for something you truly believe in. An outstanding performance by the cast solidifies this movie as one of my favorites.
