Corrected entry: In the final game vs the Hornets, the visitor team is wearing black shoes except for Larry Johnson. According to NBA rules the whole team must wear the same color shoes.
Eddie (1996)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Steve Rash
Starring: Whoopi Goldberg, Richard Jenkins, Frank Langella, Dennis Farina
Continuity mistake: In one scene, in the middle of the movie, one of the older players is sitting in a chair near the basketball court, and he is wearing sweat pants, white ones I believe. He is then asked to come in to play by Eddie (Whoopi Goldberg). He then stands up. But in the next scene he is walking up to the other players on the basketball court taking off a light jacket, but no sweat pants.
Edwina "Eddie" Franklin: Bailey! Bailey! Bailey, you gonna try something new tonight, like trying to coach? It's the NBA, buddy - no buttheads allowed, but you keep coming back. I don't understand it.

Correction: The only recourse is a fine. This is how Air Jordans became so popular. Michael Jordan breached the rules wearing them during games and Nike paid the fines. It's certainly possible a player as popular as Larry Johnson has a similar deal in this movie.
