Folks, this movie was intended to unite races. Any person with common sense can see that. Most of these comments remind me of the Mayweather vs McGreggor Irish bs. Enjoy the film, as it was a good movie. Jordan will always be the best, not because of his color. Bird was also good.
@billjames8036 I hate when they do that mess like c'mon, it's classics for a reason, not some movie that should be touched off because of the type of nonsense.
My favorite part of the scene is the very end where Sidney smiles: there's a difference between losing and getting beaten, and Sidney is wise enough to see a loss as an opportunity to make really, really big money!
@@mattm7798 Yes and No. Sidney guilt trips Billy into helping him play the final game with the money Gloria gave him, to win some money after Sidney's place was robbed. Only after they win does Sidney switch and tell him he shouldn't have done it. which is a bit of a Gaslighting dick move again from Sidney. Billy loses Gloria because of Sidney.
The World Record in the Triple Jump is held by a White Man from Britan....the only man to hit the 60' mark. The title to the movie is missleading. And some of the best High Jumpers in History are White.
@@oldfrend the man is preaching the truth. You find a sizzler nowadays, go to it. They downsized and killed all the terrible ones and the only ones now in operation are like the best of the best. Got one down the street and still the most solid salad bar and steak combo in town.
The Title is missleading. The only man to jump 60' in the Triple Jump is a man from Britian who is White. And that record is about 30 years old. Set by Jonathan Edwards. And who can forget White High Jump World Record Holder...Dwight Stones, and Valery Brumell.
Whites have held many world records in the High Jump also...and from several different nations...Both Men and Woman. And the Pole Vault....Between Sergay Bubka and Mondo Duplantis...It's been 38 years of White Domination. It's not that im racist I just know from keeping up with track and field that Whites can indeed jump.@@jolelen6736
I stole/borrowed this on VHS from my parents collection somehow & smuggled it to my best friends house to watch when I was in 6th grade (1993) lol. He’s Irish Catholic and still has this in his top 5 movies of all time. His wife hosted a big party for his 40th bday last year and during the toast this fool said, “At 40 y’all don’t understand, it ain’t easy,..It is haaawd G* damn work making somethin this pretttayy.” I literally spit beer on my wife’s shoulder I was laughing so hard!! 😂😂😂 Timeless classic!!
This is one of the most perfect scenes, it is hard to even know what to praise, it's all great. But I want to single out the subtle changes in Snipes' facial expressions...the way a bit of nervousness breaks through the macho bravado around 5:31 as he realizes he is the sheep and not the wolf, and the way his look of frustration changes into a look of thoughtfulness at the end as he starts to realize the possibilities of teaming up with Woody's character. Great stuff.
So on point. There's so many layers to this story and it's brilliantly written. Woody does a great job with Billy playing the ignorant outsider who presents himself as an easy mark. It's the ultimate con game. Welsey's portrayal of Sidney is perfect as the cocky and skillful hustler who meets his match. I noticed the look on Sidney's face too; he knew the game had changed, but his ego wouldn't let him back down. That's why Sidney and Billy make such a good team. Sidney is a straight up businessman; even though he was trying to save face in front of his people, he was also sizing Billy up. Sidney is a talent rep with no leads; Billy is the fresh talent with no manager. How could Sidney resist? Billy played college ball and used his appearance as his camouflage. Sidney played street ball, but all he needed was Billy's "geeky white chump" guise to clean house, and even Sidney was forced to step up his game.
My friend went to high school with Woody Harrelson back in the 70's at Lebanon High school in Ohio, he told me he is still shocked at what level of fame he's reached...
It's amazing Snipes made so many sports movies despite not being that good. He wasn't a good baseball player filming Major League so they did a lot of tricks to make him look better than he was.
@@RighteousFollwer Unlike Billy I am mostly Irish and I spent a lot of my life in the south playing basketball on public courts as the only white kid/guy. Maybe Ron did too, but if nothing else he also worked on Blue Chips and probably gained a lot of insight.
6:14 You notice Billy's entire demeanor changes in that one instance. He's letting Sidney know that he's the real deal; Billy blows his cover to let Sidney know that they are very much alike. That's why these two make great partners. Sidney's never been challenged like that before.
That smile at the end was thinking how he can't get his money back and he realized what Billy said. In that moment he's hatching an idea to hustle other players on the court and using Billy as the main part of the hustle. Later in the movie Sidney follow through and ask if Billy would be interested.
@@alexojideagu in southern California, they still exist, last time Visited in June of 2023 i still seen some around. I grew up in San Diego, and loved sizzler, but moved to Texas and never see them out here.. Sizzler is basically a cheap steakhouse with an all you can salad bar, with a few hot items.
I was playing basketball with my black friend Aaron once. He told me I don't know what it's like to have people make up their mind about you before they know anything about you. Three games later I hadn't been picked up despite being one of the better players there, and I asked him if he still felt that way.
But it only counts when it happens to THEM though! Haven’t you heard?! Lol If it wasn’t for those trust Ol’ R-cards I don’t know what Javons and Shaniquas would do. 🙄🙄🙄💩
Lmao theres a difference between playing a basketball game and walking around you whole life with preconceived notions you racist biggot...or you're a troll either way yo def a weirdo@jimclaus1576
I thought it was hard to watch, because Woody's character was such an idiot. You wanted to feel sorry for him but he deserved to earn those painful lessons.
So, I have a colleague, tall, huge , the uniform fits him as M. Jordan… And I ain’t into basketball for an inch. So, I am passing by him throwing ball to the ring and I just count the hits. It was like zero out of seven attempts. And he catches me watching, and he suddenly says: “ People, stop thinking I was doing it before. I am 37 and I started it a year ago only…”
2:58 "It's pretty! It's soo pretty!" 6:02 "Ain't no thing but a chicken wing on a string..." I still quote these lines and nobody knows what the fuck I'm talking about. 😂
Woody Harrelson has proven to be a very good actor with a good range, but this act he was putting on just made me keep thinking this was Woody Boyd shooting.
The 90's were good...
Nooo. The 90’s were GREAT!
In hindsight, very underrated.
Early 2000's were great too.
It went downhill around 2010-2015. When Social Media and their algorithms got big.

And to hustle Billy
Almost mutual respect.
he smiles because he knows he got hustled, and then he plots to get billy back.

this scene is so classic
I went to Sizzler once and I saw Sidney having dinner with Shooter McGavin.
😂
I was there too Billy, saw the whole damn thing!
After they became friends on the court they decided to get on the money train together
This movie captured the vibe of early 90's California culture so perfectly
What the hell happened to California now?!
@@charles9571 it was always like that. it was just disguised more because the lack of social media
@@PixxelBros No... no.. it's a lot worse now.
@@Section.9 Bros tryna tell me its worse now when gang violence was at its peak in the 90's. Worse overall, maybe because of politics.

Woody's T-shirt...blast from the past. I'd love that shirt today.
I grew up on this.... 90's I loved that era so much!
6:15 - Woody didn’t say anything till that 5th shot, meanwhile Snipes was hollering the entire time. Humbled him real quick

6:50 one of the best insults in human history
I’ve seen this scene so many times and I still get tense watching it, great film!
An outstanding 90's flick you can watch over and over..
You can tell, hustling aside, he respects Billy. That smile at the end says it all.
