Blades of Glory is a 2007 American comedy film directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck, and starring Will Ferrell and Jon Heder. The movie was released on March 29, 2007 by DreamWorks and MTV Films. It was released on DVD and HD DVD on August 7, 2007 and released on Blu-ray Disc on May 20, 2008.
At the World Winter Sport Games, rival men's singles skaters Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell), a skillful skater but raunchy sex addict, and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder), an equally talented but sheltered and effeminate skater, tie for gold. An argument ensues, which develops into a fight on the awards podium, ending with the World Games mascot being set on fire. As a result they are stripped of their medals and banned for life from men's singles competition. Jimmy's competitive adoptive father, billionaire Darren MacElroy (William Fichtner), immediately disowns him and leaves him stranded on the side of the road.
Three and a half years later, Jimmy is working at a winter sporting goods store and gets demoted to sorting stock after he refuses to listen to a child when she tells him her skating boot has been tied too tightly. Chazz has gained a lot of weight and is fired from a children’s skating show for being in a drunken stupor on stage. Jimmy's stalker, Hector (Nick Swardson), tells him of a loophole in the ban allowing him to compete in pair skating. In hopes of entering the upcoming World Winter Sport Games, Jimmy contacts his old coach, Robert, but is unable to find a partner. Jimmy's search for a last-minute partner leads him to Chazz, and Robert convinces the two to skate as the first-ever same-sex pairs team, because the regulations fail to state the genders of the pairs.
I'm a lone wolf in a cage
Lost my partner to a lie
Like a bird with broken wings, yeah
It's impossible to fly
I tried to live for two
But only trust in one
Is there nothing that we can do?
Are we truly done?
Every day we do or die
As we're sailin' across the sky
Now we're comin' home
On these blades of glory
Settin' fire to the ice
Is the dream that keeps us alive
Now we're comin' home
On these blades of glory
Could this be the end
of our mythic story?
I don't know what to say
I don't know where to turn
All I know is if I stay
Ooh this ice it sure can burn
A man who's scared of truth
Can only trust in lies
A boy who's scared to dream
Can never touch the sky, oh yeah
Every day we do or die
As we're sailin' across the sky
Now we're comin' home
On these blades of glory
Settin' fire to the ice
Is the dream that keeps us alive
Now we're comin' home
On these blades of glory
Today is the first chapter
Of our mythic story
We'll never part
On these blades of glory
And we'll cross our hearts
On these blades of glory
What do you say
Tonight we celebrate
By going out our way, yeah
O-oo-oh, let's go all the way, yeah
It's our calling
Every day we do or die
As we're sailin' across the sky
Now we're comin' home
On these blades of glory
Settin' fire to the ice
Is the dream that keeps us alive
Now we're comin' home
On these blades of glory
Blades of glory
We'll go all night
‘Til we finish the story
Now we're comin' home
On these blades of glory
The dream is alive
And we'll never be sorry
Now we're comin' home
On these blades of glory
