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
Factual error: In the last scene the Hornet player is driving the key against Ivan, and it thus called for an offensive charging foul, however he double dribbled three times before that which would have been called in the NBA before the offensive charging foul.
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.

Question: What is the name and artist of the song that plays when the Knicks' winning streak begins?
Answer: "Rock & Roll pt 2" by Gary Glitter.
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.
