Jim Henry: I want to have a long talk with anybody bettin' against me.
Speed: Well, you know Chick, like old momma said, next best thing to playing and winning is playing and losing.
Hard Times (1975)
2 quotes
Directed by: Walter Hill
Starring: Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Jill Ireland
Factual error: The movie is set during the Great Depression, in 1933, but Charles Bronson gets in town aboard of a freight train pulled by an EMD NW5 diesel locomotor, introduced over a decade later. (00:01:15)
Trivia: By open admission of one of the original artwork designer Akira "Akiman" Yasuda, the movie (known in Japan as "The Street Fighter") inspired at least 2 of the most iconic backgrounds of the game Street Fighter 2: it is really obvious when you watch the fight between Jim Henry and "the kid", on the docks with a boat in the background much like in Ken 's stage. The cage fight against Henry inspired also Zangief's stage. (00:19:30 - 00:47:50)
