1977 made-for-TV sports-drama film about a skier who loses an arm and a leg while fighting in Vietnam and considered his skiing ambitions dead until a close friend encourages him to think of his missing limbs as "just a little inconvenience" instead of a life-changing handicap. Very inspiring movies starring real-life amputee James Stacy, a prolific actor who had actually was missing an arm and a leg after a drunk driver hit him while he was on his motorcycle.

From my description of Heat of Anger (1972 TV):
GodzillaFan54 wrote This was Stacy's final film role before he lost his left leg and arm when a drunk driver hit him on his motorcycle on September 23rd, 1973. His left leg was severed at the scene and his left arm was amputated later in the hospital. Despite such drastic life-altering injuries, he continued acting after his recovery, most notably playing a double-amputee war veteran in the 1977 TV film Just a Little Inconvenience. In 1976, he won a $1.9 million lawsuit against the bar that had served the drunk driver.

Despite this, he continued acting into the early-'90s which saw him acting on TV shows like Cagney & Lacey, Wiseguy, and The New WKRP in Cincinnati. He then retired and later passed away in 2016 at the age of 80.

Airdate: October 2nd, 1977
