PHJ......AGAIN tonight!

[9andout]

Lots of haters I know BUT.................. VERY underrated.
For someone who hardly shoots...................... My wife sure does like pool movies.
PHJ again tonight. Maybe a double feature with COM?
Funny how she can quote PHJ.
"How much for your ring?" "You want my ring?"
"You said shoot it all Joe. Let's shoot it all!"
"I paid $2,800 for it. $3,000 Covered! I'm going to leave you with NOTHING!"
Big Walken fan I guess. lol
Seriously. Gives COM a big run for the money.
Waaaaay more hustler/pro references too!
Mars would spot Cruise the 3 and Newman the 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A. Eastwood sux. Movie is classic.

Worst ending EVER.... Took what could have been a great movie and moved it below Kiss Shot in the grand scheme of things...

Hustler
COM
Shooting Gallery
Baltimore Bullet
The Baron and The Kid
Kiss Shot
Pool Hall Junkies

Different ending and it could have been a contender for number 2.......

Oh, so you're the guy. I was told there was a guy who actually liked PHJ. Always thought it was just a myth :wink:

Maybe not the best move, but it is a pool theme, and fun to watch. What channel I'd like to watch it again.

Then ending was so stupid and ill advised, I can't even fathom ever watching this POS ever again. And can you imagine the bs that would have come if this actually happened in real life??

A barely average movie, with a piss poor ending, which makes it a stinker in my mind

Gotta check a few of #'s 3-6 out.

Oh, so you're the guy. I was told there was a guy who actually liked PHJ. Always thought it was just a myth :wink:

And the guy with the DVD! haha. BUT there is at least 2. Bought it for my brother back in the day.

The movie was pretty bad, especially the lead actor. The plot was pretty lame as well, with lots of "filler" sideplots which add nothing to the whole. Walken is the only thing even remotely good about it, but even he is not at his best here. I don't even like the pool in it, meaning the shot choices and situations. Overall not too good.

Kinda grew on me I guess?
