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.
Joe: How the fuck does that make you feel... to be in that position with all your money on the table?
Mike: How much you got, Joe?
Joe: What?
Mike: Total. You put down 80 thousand like it didn't matter. That's a lot of money for somebody like you and him. I think it matters.
Joe: What's the difference.
Mike: I'm a millionaire! That's the difference. I lose 80 I get another 80. For me it doesn't matter. See, I think it's you... who's sweating this, the both of you.
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.
