Color of Money on NOW !

"You gotta be a student of human moves....", "Its like a nightmare isn't it, just keeps getting worse and worse doesn't it.....", "You gotta have brains and you gotta have balls..... you've got too much of one, and not enough of the other....."
Of all the great lines in that movie, for my money the best is still Keithers gravelly voice with "You got lucky you lucky *****"..... I've gotten more mileage out of that the last 20 years than any other line ever..... :D

Watch u got in there ? in here doom !:D

Lol, yeah. We named our pool team after that line. Team Doom. This year it's "Resume the Doom".

I don't much care for Tom Cruise, but man, he sure delivered that line in that movie.
 
i wonder why they just didn't use a real Balabushka instead of a Joss ...anybody have anything to say about this besides too expensive ? this was made in 1986 so i would imagine a Bushka was about a thousand then...just wondering...

Ummm,did you see him twirling it around and doing kung fu with the cue in the movie,i dont think that would be a good thing with a one of a kind Bushka if it were dropped,slammed,or smashed.;)
 
there is a youtube video that shows what can happen

I think I got the link from this forum, but there is a short
video on youtube about a guy doing that and hits himself
in the head. Actually the title says cue, but I'm not sure.

EDIT: I'm removing the link, as the language might not be appropriate.

By the way, notice how Paul Newman just throws that cue
to Cruise? In a way that surprises him and he could have
easily missed catching it. You would never do that! Then
to top it off, the first thing he does is go downstairs and break
using the cue, and follows through to the cloth, and leaves the
cue down and bent!

in movies they use stunt doubles as with expensive items..i was wondering why when the camera zoomed in on the cue IN THE CASE that it could/should have been the real deal..just like in Pool Hall Junkies IF they would have zoomed in on the cue when Rod Steiger gave it to Mars and says he's playin with this..i loved all the pool movies and was just second guessing things not complaining about them..it's nice to notice new things everytime i watch them..

The South West in PHJ was/is Mars Callahan's personal cue, fyi.
 
However, this one is still my favorite..."I'm gonna ask you somethin, and I want you to be honest with me....do you think I need to lose some weight?:D"

That is freakin priceless.
