Directed by: Howard Deutch
Starring: Keanu Reeves, Gene Hackman, Orlando Jones, Brooke Langton
Other mistake: When Orlando Jones uses the stickup for his hands, in the next play his hands are very clean, and if you have ever used it, you know what I am saying.
Other mistake: In the scene when Gene Hackman first meets Reeves on the boat, in the scene before that there is a long shot of the stadium that pans to the harbor. Notice the large sailboat in the river is going backwards.
Continuity mistake: In their game against Phoenix, Clifford Franklin drops an obvious touchdown pass, after which Coach McGinty calls a time out and puts "stick-em" all over Franklin's hands so he can catch the next pass thrown to him. They call the exact same play again, and when they break the huddle, the brief camera shot above the goal post shows them lining up on the ball inside the Phoenix 10 yard line, near the goal line. But when the play starts, they are obviously near mid-field, as Falco lets go of a bomb and Franklin catches it in the end zone. In fact, the camera shot from behind Franklin when he catches the ball shows both teams milling around near mid-field. How did they go from near the goal line back to mid-field between the time they broke the huddle to starting the next play?
John Madden: I love to see a fat guy score.
Pat Summerall: Why?
John Madden: Because first you get a fat guy spike, then you get the fat guy dance.
Trivia: The movie is supposed to be in Washington D.C. Starting with the 1997 season, Washington moved from RFK stadium in DC to a stadium in Landover, MD. So the movie was filmed in Baltimore, MD. They used Camden Yards, Orioles stadium, and the stadium where the Ravens play.
Question: What is Shane's quote in the last huddle? Something like pain is temporary...glory lasts forever"?
