Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Starring: Helen Shaver, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Paul Newman, Tom Cruise
Trivia: Paul Newman won his only Oscar for his performance as Fast Eddie Felson in this movie.
Trivia: In one scene, Eddie comments that it's been 25 years since he played pool professionally. Paul Newman last played Felson in The Hustler, 25 years earlier.
Factual error: Cruise is breaking and if you watch the eight ball after the break it's following the 5 into a pocket at the end of the table closest to Tom. Now the 8 ball didn't necessarily go in because they focus on the one ball, but in the next frame shot, there's no way it could be at the opposite end of the table like they show. (00:29:20)
Eddie Felson: Do you smell that?
Vincent Lauria: What, smoke?
Carmen: No, Money.
