Hi. I remember an old movie.
About a white guy from ( I think ) Africa. He can run faster than a cheetah. Stronger than a bear. And stuff like that. He gets discovered by an American that takes him to the states. Here he enters something like the Olympic games. His tribe master comes to the states too. He tries to hinder him with voodoo.
He is the only guy from his country in the games. So he participates in all the events.
At first he does very poorly because of the voodoo. But when he brakes free he does them all over again and wins.
Its an older movie. 70's or 80's

Help me find the name.

The World's Greatest Athlete (1973) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070928/)

I laughed when I read your description... I remember this from long ago.

Tnx! I am trying to collect all the movies I watched in my youth. I am also looking for a retail DVD of Songs of the south.
