Color of Money Video

I did alittle search for color of money and found this cheesey recreation of the Werewolf of London scene. It says in the description that " Ryan M White is not an actor". Well as you can see from his bridge, he's not a pool player either. :D

LOL.....that was funny. They left out a few parts. But it was alright. Made me laugh. He missed the 8 by a mile and still got out.....:D I wish the pockets were that big down here in Texas......:p I think someone on here should do another one.

I liked it too so about 10 years ago I read through all the credits and found it.

Artist: Muddy Waters
Title: Still a Fool
 
I'm glad this was posted. There has been discussion on this scene before about the line "...do you think I need to lose some weight..." I think the consensus by this board was that it was referring to "pool weight" or "speed", in other words pool ability.

I have always disagreed with that assessment, and believe it is referring to Forrest being heavy set. He has Newman so angry, that he is trying to push his buttons even more. Forrest might be thinking that Newman is calling him a fat slob or similar in Newman's head. So that is why he asks Newman that question, to get him even more fired up.

Its like when you beat a guy and then have your buddy, who obviously watched the match, go up to your opponent and ask him who won. It just fires the loser up.

i was a teenager wen i first saw this movie and thought pool is tough , im older now and still think the same lol but what i dont get is why did newman get hustled ?i thought he was the star of the movie and was unbeatable?
 
They could have been trying to show that the stage which we all go through... those days where you cant find your game. He kept at it and he won! :p
 
After he pays him $80, they say double or nothing???
He already paid him. ???
thnx

Well, if you noticed, someone at the bar (known as a bird dog)
asked the bartender to call Doug. So this guy Doug now knew
that there was money to be made, and could set about a great
hustle, making it look like he just happened to be there, etc..

Then, he could act as if he hardly knew how to play, and if
done correctly, could execute those (insane) 9-ball combinations
and make them look real lucky. If Newman was not aware of
this guy's true speed, he would also not be showing his true
speed, as to not scare the guy off. By the time it came for
Newman to use all his speed, it was too late, etc.. He didn't
see it coming quick enough.
 
The lesson to be learned is not to sleep on your opponent no matter who they are or who you think they are because they might not be a fish.;)

What if you already know who they are? And they know who you are and are just too stupid to not play?

I believe he says call Dud. Dud was Grady Mathews character. The guy who hustles him (Forrest) is named Amos.
