Corrected entry: In the scene where Johnny and Mike first meet Johnny says he can tell Mike plays pool because there is a crease on his pants accented by a bit of blue chalk. When Mike invites Johnny upstairs to play pool (where supposedly he was playing before he met Johnny) we see the pool table is red. How did the blue chalk get on his pants then?

Directed by: Mars Callahan
Starring: Rod Steiger, Chazz Palminteri, Ricky Schroder, Michael Rosenbaum, Mars Callahan
Continuity mistake: During the final pool sequences, there's a quick glimpse of the main character's left (broken) wrist. It's normally all purple and gross looking, but in a brief shot, you can see his left hand shooting the pool cue and there is no purple swelling.
Johnny Doyle: How about I tell you where you got your shoes. If I win, you give me a job. If I lose you can have my ring.
Merv: Deal. But you're never going to get that job, Johnny, and here's why. I bought these shoes on a cruise in international waters, so no matter what you say, you're wrong.
Johnny Doyle: But Merv, I didn't say I would tell you where you'd bought 'em, I said I'd tell you where you got 'em, and right now you got 'em on your feet.
Trivia: One of the producers makes a cameo appearance in the movie as pro pool player Bobby LeBlanc. He is also responsible for making all the shots in the movie where the actor's faces aren't visible and only their hands are.
