- Mr. T wins one ballot because his life went from being a bouncer into the stratosphere through this movie.
- Talia Shire wins another for transforming Adrian from a quiet earlier character into the forceful beach-scene partner.
- Hulk Hogan is considered but judged likely to become a wrestling star even without the film.
- Mr. T receives the final ballot because Clubber is called the best sports-movie villain and led immediately to his television role.
- Stallone is acknowledged as essential, but his success was already secure before this film.
