    • Quotes

      Coach Finstock: There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

    Fantastic.

    I do not understand how it can be so poorly classified, this movie is one of the best classics of the 80s, with a great story, beautiful soundtrack, good morals, great actors and every time you see this movie, it still looks better. Fantastic, I highly recommend it.

    FAQ6

    • If Mick is 20 years old, why is he allowed to play on a high school basketball team?
    • Was it explained how Scott's mom died? Mick says "Your mama used to steal chickens out of the backyard until I blew her head off with a shotgun" but is he just trying to make Scott mad or is that how she actually died?
    • Why didn't the dog whistle, which bothered Scott, not also bother his father Harold?
