Some rural mailman in WV bought this Scout new to replace his old one when it wore out. The old one never wore out so he only put 29 miles on this one. Then he died. Now it's in NATMUS, the national automotive & truck museum united states... it's right next to, or behind, the Auburn, Cord, Duesenburg museum in Auburn Indiana
I hope they make a sequel... it is a no brainer in my opinion that this story line of a young kid and his absentee dad reuniting and getting a robot to win the world championship, is the newest in a line of Rocky, The Champ, Karate Kid type feel good action movies... To let it go withough a great sequel of them continuing to be partners in the robot games, and further learning that the dad character has a lot to experience from his kids point of view .. that would be a shame
If you've already enjoyed the movie, you'll love reading this interview with Hugh http://collider.com/hugh-jackman-real-steel-interview-2/118641/ it sheds light on the characters of the kid and dad from Hugh's perspective as an actor helping out a young new actor. Great stuff. I read the whole damn thing, its that good
