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
Revealing mistake: When Uncle Mike and Johnny go upstairs at the party to hustle Phil and company, Phil shoots the eight ball towards the corner pocket, and the sound effect indicates he made the shot. Phil says, "That's how we do it," but right as he says this, the eight ball is seen slowly rolling back into the shot, revealing he actually missed the shot.
Mike: I'm gonna step outside and get some smog.
Trivia: The co-directors of the film actually met one another while trying to hustle one another at pool. Some of the hustles shown in the movie are taken from their real life experiences.
