    i thought it was Bill Duke? Damn! I know who Sully was. He looks totally different now. He was also the rat in the brutal remake of the Longest Yard.

    trivia - the original Predator was supposed to be Jean-Claude Van Damme against a blue screen, but the whole concept was a mess, so it was scratched. THANK GOD.

    Hoosiers - comments - how did Buddy get back on the team when he walked out? One day he walks off and the other day, he starts? No mention on this.

    Jimmy Chitwood (Maris Valainis) was really a golf star and only appeared in 5 movies.

    The star player in the Finals #15 Boyle is supposed to be either Elgin Baylor or Oscar Robertson who the real team played in the semi-finals.

    The real team was not some unknown team and was heavily favored to win. They were a powerhouse.

    The real final shot was taken from the same spot as Jimmy Chitwood's in the same building (Butler Fieldhouse). The kid would gets calls throughout his life asking if he was the guy who made the shot.

    The announcer for the final game was the SAME ANNOUNCER for the real life team.

    The real team won by 2 pts but were down by a lot and won by playing keep away with the ball and scoring and then playing keep away again - like Dean' Smith's 4 corners.

    The actor who player Merle #12 committed suicide as his farm was not doing well years later. The only thing the actor wanted from the movie was the #12 jersey, which he had framed.

    The actor who played Ray Butcher in real life made 2 free throws with no time left to win the State Championship for his High School. He now sells insurance.

    Somehow Gene Hackman was NOT Oscar nominated for his role, but Dennis Hopper was!

    For Sports movies - top 3 for me with Rocky and the Natural #2 and #1!

    They could make a Commando sequel call it Commando 2 uncovered and have it be all about Alyssa Milano walking around in a skirt going up stairs riding in a glass floor elevator walking down the street over a vent that gust air up.

    That'd be better than 98.9% of all movies coming out of Hollywood this year.

    LOVED that movie. Well...loved seeing Alyssa Milano naked for half the movie.

    I would put Field of Dreams up there with Hoosiers. Maybe The Natural 3rd. I can't believe Hackman didn't win an Oscar in that role.........
     
  12. Catfish Guest

    wasn't even nominated.

    FOD Igloo is way too hokey for me. I like it, but over the top.

    -The Natural

    -Rocky

    -Hoosiers

    -Slapshot

    -Major League

    when Happy Gilmore is run over by a deranged fan, what is the first word Gilmore says? The driver yells "jackass," but what does Gilmore says?

    thank you Jean, someone is paying attention.

    in the movie Rounders - what is Worm's real name?
     
  17. Catfish Guest

    man this thread is dying fast....
     
  18. AxeMurderer Legend Cowboys

    I've just never seen a lot of the movies you're referencing.
     
  19. Catfish Guest

    it could be that, but i try and stay with more popular movies than obscure ones.

    Rounders is a very solid movie and one of the better poker movies out there. solid cast too.

    the answer was lester.

    ok axe - ask a question...
     
  20. AxeMurderer Legend Cowboys

    I know - that's MY problem, not yours. You're picking from good movies. I'm just way behind...
