The Cincinnati Kid
Video

Continuity mistake: In the final hand, the first time we see Clancy's hand, it is the 8-9-10-Q of Diamonds; when the Kid calls, the cards are (a) reversed in order - Q-10-9-8) and worse, (b) throughout the entire movie, they are playing with Hoyle playing cards - but the reversed hand as well as Clancy's JD are from a deck of Bicycle cards, made by the United States Playing Card Co. In a real game, Clancy's hand would be dead, as it contains cards from an entirely different deck.

Deliberate mistake: During the funeral march you can see that one of the guys dancing has 1960s-style sunglasses on.

Cincinnati Kid: Is that what it's all about?
Lancey Howard: Like life, I guess. You're good, kid, but as long as I'm around you're second best. You might as well learn to live with it.
