LOL! Loved both the movie clips. BTW, that was no Balabuska in the movie. Cue made by Joss Cues. Decent shooters. They still make it.
Rare exception for movie pool hall scenes. Both Cruise and Newman were well coached, actually look like good players when making shots. Cruise had never held a cue before the movie but with coaching turned into a real life good amateur. Newman already knew how to play, having learned from none other than Willie Mosconi while filming The Hustler. World Champ Mike "Captain Hook" Sigel was the movie "technical consultant". Lots of real players had bit parts...
