Invincible is a 2006 sports film directed by Ericson Core set in 1976. It is based on the true story of Vince Papale, who played for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1976–78. Mark Wahlberg portrays Papale and Greg Kinnear plays Papale's coach, Dick Vermeil. The movie was released in the US on August 25, 2006.
To spice things up for his organization, newly-hired Eagles head coach Dick Vermeil decides to hold open tryouts in 1976 for a spot on the pro football team's roster. Vince Papale is a 30-year-old bartender who has just lost his part-time teaching job. He had gone to Saint Joseph's University (then known as St. Joseph's College) on a track scholarship. Disgusted with his professional failure his wife, Sharon (Lola Glaudini), abruptly leaves him, taking all of their furniture with her and leaving a note saying that he never will be anything in the world.
With the support of all his friends from the neighborhood, Papale goes out for an open tryout practice; catching the attention of coach Vermeil, he is invited to come along to training camp. Papale eventually makes the team, and after a dismal display in the opening game of the season, he recovers a fumble and returns it for a touchdown in the second regular season game versus the New York Giants, which leads to Vermeil's first victory with the Eagles.

Plot: Episodic saga from the first half of the 20th century follows Hero Hua from an ill-omened June day in his youth to a showdown 17 years later with a disaffected member of his martial-arts school, a Japanese named Invincible. Tensions between Chinese and Japanese, plus U.S. racism, mark the tale. Hero marries Jade, leaves her in China when he goes to America as an indentured servant, rebels against cruel labor conditions, and is joined by her in New York City where she has twins. Jump ahead 16 years: their son Sword comes to New York looking for his father. There, Sword hears many stories of his father, which we see in flashbacks, and the stage is set for the battle with Invincible.

Don't believe you are the best of all times
Don't forget where you're from
When your fortune is gone
You wake up, lived a dream
You're not invincible
No way success is on place one, not two
Nothing else counts it seems to be true
No clue what you do, better help yourself
It's all about money, no one cares about you
Here one day, gone one night
You see people twice in your life and they bite not quite
Alright, but there might be a fight
Never forget what's wrong, what's right
Sometimes you forget
Fame is just a gift, take it day by day
Sometimes you forget
You're living in a world, heading far away
Don't fly to high, the landing is tough enough
To rough for you, come back to reality
Madness, to believe you're the hero
Grow up, show up, time for you to wake up
The road is going down the other side of the hill
Keep your feet on the ground - don't kill but
Chill - with all due modesty
Nobody's perfect, don't you agree
One day you're up, one day you're down
Seems like a kingdom but there is no crown
Today you are in, tomorrow you're out
