Yep, that movie, surely one of the worst of all time any genre, wasted an hour and a half of my life.
Like another earlier poster your signatures caught my eye and my curiosity.....
Gary might need a rethink on that. If the nuts are solid gold they can't possibly be silver lined or platinum plated :smile:

Uh....Gary has been dead for years. The quote isn't exact, but he used to say something very similar and said it all the years I knew him. I can't remember it exactly. I'll probably remove it after a while, anyway.
lmfao my girl wanted to watch pool hall junkies and shooting gallery and I sure as hell wasn't going to buy them for her to watch.....so I'm searching the internet and up comes this thread........it was funny reading everyone bash the hell out of the two horrible ideas.
It can also be watched in its entirety on UTube as well.
Christopher Walken + Mike Massey = Gold!
Bash away, but this movie always had two thumbs up in my book. I found it very entertaining... which is the point of a movie, by the way. Why do some people have to judge this (or any) pool movie as if it was a documentary?
News Flash: Most movies are considered FICTION and will not always be 100% accurate. Now pull the cue out of your back side and have a smile once in a while :grin:
I commend them for bringing more attention to the game... it's a lot more than most can say they have done (including myself). It wasn't in the theaters for long, but it was there for a bit... and for that short time, it sure was fun watching every hack that walked into a pool room try 50 times to make Walken's kick shot in the side pocket.
To cap it all off, if you watch through the credits, the waitress' jugs end up being real! :wink:
Cheers,

shooting gallery was WAYYYYY bad, but wasnt there a movie about pool released sometime recently that had some mid level pros in it that was even worse than shooting gallery?
didnt see it, so i dont know.
mars is a friend of a friend, but i liked it before i figured that out.
does it match up with the color of money or the hustler? no, but that doesnt mean its a terrible film!
FYI, This site allows limitations to free viewing. I watched this movie and it shut me down with 18 minutes left.It then wanted me to either wait 54 minutes or pay for a membership - starting at $9.95 per month, which allows you access to other movies in their (what appears to be very limited) library.
KoolKat,anytime you use i think its "mega video" you need to download the movie & then unplug your puter from your isp then watch the movie.No internet conection means no timer.
That does not mean it is a good film either.
IMO The Baltimore Bullet was a better film then Pool Hall Junkies as well. There are very few movies about pool to compare to but Pool Hall Junkies ranks as one of the worst of the few this sport has. I know people here are often compelled to defend the film because of our lack of representation in the film world but IMO the film did little to forward this sport.
A movie version of McGoorty or a story like it following a fictional shortstop level pool player who lives through key moments of the sport and meets key characters through a 40 or 50 year time span? THAT could be something. That is what this sport needs in terms of movies, something that acts like a biopic and tells the history of this sport from the 1940's or so through to today.
The whole movie was worth making just for the "Lion" speech Walken gives.
It's even better when Alex Pagulayan quotes it.

As bad as the movie may be and as horrible as the ending is with a crappy crook hustler move to win the money at the end ... I always wondered how I would shoot that shot at the end of the movie.
Anyone want to diagram it up and see what the choices are? I would appreciate it. I never seem to be able to get the cue table program able to work correctly. If the two balls are frozen together against the rail ... I just don't know what the heck I would do if I was shooting for big money. If it was a friendly game I'd try to spin it back cross corner ... but not for 100k! Multi bank using diamond system a better choice? Any good safety choice?
I just might hit my table right now and try some options to see!
