when christopher walken makes that shot the reactions from the other actors are authentic. the story behind this is they had time set aside for christopher to have to make multiple attempts to make the shot. he actually got it the very first time .so when "johnny" in the background does the slow clap. the reaction is shock that walken got it right away . ....and walken never breaks character and just plays it off. brilliant scene . i know this because i've watched the dvd with the director's comments and that was what he said actually happened during filming the movie
This movie is EXCELLENT! Great cast! Christopher Walker, Chaz Palminteri, Rick Shroder, Allison Eastwood, Rod Steiger and Mars Callahan! Very good scenes! Love it
trivia about this movie. The lead actor, Mars Callahan, had spent his youth hustling pool. He wrote, directed, starred in and hired Chris Walken, Chaz Palmeterri and Ricky Schroder. The cast played pool for 3 weeks before shooting and Ricky and Mars are great shots. Mars wanted the actors to make their own shots on film. If you watch closely, you can see very few shots where you cannot see the actor shoot it. Mars missed this shot on the first try in filming but made it on the second try.
Best part is, Walken wasn't sure he'd ever get the shot and they thought they'd be shooting it for a while. Just after he was taught it, he asked the director to shoot his very first practice shot. Hence his shocked reaction, and the amusement of everyone else.
christopher walken actually made this on the first try, they werent going to film it at first they were just gunna let him practice a few times, but he told them to record it anyway and he made it. thats why johnny starts laughing and clapping at first then they cut it off really quick.
@@lairofun-dereksyoutuberecr631 There's no point in looking close since this video is low res. The director's commentary said that this was Walken's first shot, and it was supposed to be some practice rolls while they were blocking the scene. Nobody was standing where they were supposed to be in the final shot. They tried recreating the scene but couldn't, so they reblocked the scene to match the positions everyone was standing in during the test shot. Basically they got a one a million first take without even trying.
All of a sudden, I'm having flashbacks to his movie(s) "The Prophecy.." I mean, of course he's going to make that shot, he's the angel "Gabriel" after all.. 💡🤨🤣🤣🤣
One of if not the best pool movies of all time I really wish the company that owns the rights would let up and let it stream instead of keeping it on DVD only and not making anymore copies crazy
@@w0mblemania i’m not sure what posting a video of it and me betting on it would prove considering I could take 1000 tries and I could just as easily set up a fake bet with “strangers” who are actually my friends (because you know this is a movie and not a real bet mmk?) not a well thought out request, however I will tell you it’s just a timing shot and it may seem difficult to you but as a pool player I can assure you it’s not.
@@w0mblemania I suppose in your mind that was your “gochya” moment?? it’s called a trick shot. Since you don’t know what a trick shot is I’ll explain. A trick shot can be a shot that’s set up in a way where the balls are positioned to go in the pockets with relative ease. With basic knowledge of high school geometry and a decent cue stroke you can execute these shots. To the untrained eye it looks fantastic but the player knows it’s simplicity. There are videos of professionals at trick shot exhibitions setting up the balls then getting a random 10 yr old kid from the crowd to complete the trick because it is literally that easy. I have done this trick shot on my pool table and it took a couple tries. Any shot you can do in a couple tries is nothing special. Anything else? Btw there are “how to tie a double knot” videos on RUclips I’m sure you’ll be amazed.

THIS FLICK IS COLD BLOODED, I'M DIGGING IT. THAT RIGHT TWIST OF THE HUSTLER. THE TWO KEY CHARACTERS GOT IT DOWN TO A SCIENCE. EXELLENT CLIPS AND I KNOW GOOD FILM. THANK YOU FOR THE REMARKABLE CLIPS. YOU THE MAN.
Awesome that at the end you put your own shot. I love playing pool I've been into it obsessively 8 hours a day for the last 2 years almost will - 3 months. Someone told me about this movie the other day never heard of it but looks pretty cool
It is a great pool flick although the acting is far from the best by many in it. Walken and Palminteri are fantastic as usual. When it comes to pool though it does what could be done in The Hustler and Color of Money. In those films most of the shots are filmed up close, with the exception of Gleason who really was an excellent player. In this film the shots are often taken one after another with a long continuous take. Watch the film with the commentary, it is worth it.
Love that movie, I messed up at my local pool hall, I did that shot one handed, no one wanted to play me for money after that. I didn't think anyone was watching. But rule Number 1 of a pool hall, Everyone is watching how ya shoot.
A shot like this came up in a game for me once, the balls were touching leading the 8 away from the corner pocket, but I had seen this movie and figured I'd give it a go. Once I lined up the way I had to my opponent was confused asking me to state again which pocket so I did and took the shot plop goes the 8 off the kick. Two hands though lol.
This is actually a well-known trick shot that anyone can consistently do with just a little practice. Even a child can get this with around 80% success.
that's what i was just telling them. You can actually do this with around 8 hours of solid non stop practice i found it funny that they portrayed such an easy trick shot to be an impossibility and of all things PUTS A FUCKING LAWYER JOB ON THE LINE AS THE ANTE LOL i mean, what a dumb lawyer do you need to be if you can be fooled by this one that's as stupid as perfectly lining up 8 balls directly in front of a hole perfectly lined up dead straight and close together with the first ball literally 5 cm from the hole then saying to someone i bet you i can sink the last ball by hitting the first ball LOL
I'm more interested in a shot that was shown as a very brief clip. I'm not sure it's legal -- kinda looks like a "push stroke.". The CB and 8B were frozen together, out vertically from the cushion, just a short distance from the corner pocket. The CB was "pushed, with a twist to the left, and BOTH balls travelled together, sideways (spinning, too), until the 8B went into the pocket. PoolHall Junkies is currently playing for free on youtube. The shot occurs at time 11:05
cool video the Benz for a job. haha cool shot at end but I think the 8 went in on it's own in the 1st shot at the end the cue ball nocks it in. 2 different shots. I watch again. Thanks for posting
"How about my new Benz. It's got a Can't Get Lost system. It's beautiful. Phil--I know ya *want* it. You could own it." Nobody delivers a line like Walken.
Yes you could, it's not a hard shot SET IT UP Like this Middle Pocket (now depending on whether you favour left or right) go the side of the Middle pocket that you prefer The distance from the pocket doesn't actually matter too much ALTHOUGH THERE IS A CATCH AND A CONSIDERATION TO ACCOUNT FOR You need to account for SPEED OVER TIME AND DISTANCE TRAVELLED so.. First what you do is Just practice hitting the white in without the black ball (off a double) A Double is... When you start on one side of the table and instead of aiming directly at the target or the pocket, you first bounce the ball off a cushion and then into the pocket with only one bounce and it follows that a triple is the same thing but off 2 cushions , 2 bounces so.. first just double the white into the pocket, get used to where you need to be , keep hitting with a consistant speed (dont' change it ) then once you have that down Put the black in place IT MUST BE RIGHT UP AGAINST THE CUSHION or it won't work Now when you shoot the white IT MUST JUST TOUCH THE BLACK what you will learn from the first attempt is Based on how hard you are hitting the white HOW FAR IS THE BLACK TRAVELLING You need to adjust either the speed at which you hit the white or the original distance of the black from the pocket or the angle at which you hit the white Tweak these things NOW UNDERSTAND THIS AS WELL the trick is.. to get the black in but NOT THE WHITE Meaning, when you aim for the pocket, you can't aim in the centre THE WHITE MUST HIT THE BLACK ON THE SIDE QUARTER SO AS TO BOUNCE INTO THE SIDE CUSHION OF THE POCKET if you do that, the black can never be potted this actually isn't hard to do , just practice it a few times and then you can tell your friends that you're a pool god
look at the keys 2:31, then look at the keys at 2:42 different positions, he probably missed in the first try while filming, but that was a fucking great shot
Pretty the first time you see it in the movie and every other time you showed somebody but in real life my man it's a damn great way to win the round of drinks with your friends are the random person that says you can't do it and then you must show them up and when you do introduce them to the movie
Oh btw funny how no-one mentioned this isnt 9ball, its 8ball and thats why he took the shot into the side (albeit a scratch would result in a instant loss...) Look at the original shot, 0:05 there is 4 stripped balls (believe the 10, 12, 14, 15) on the table and hes shooting the 8....

Fantastic! Bravo. Greetings from London, England 😎🏴
ZNEVER SEEN THESE SCENES BEFORE
......EXCELLENT
It's nice to see Mark Richman! I remember his series "Caon's Hundred." A very underrated actor.

This is actually a well-known trick shot that anyone can consistently do with just a little practice. Even a child can get this with around 80% success.
Played pool all my life .. can almost always drink for free in any bar with a pool table ! When your in that groove nothing can best you
Forgot how good of a shot this was. Think Walken did it on the first take.
I was 75 when I did it the first take at a bar witnessed by the younger guys I didn't know.
I am a hardcore player, and believe me that this guy risked a lot, even for the super-top player, this shot is not guaranteed.
Because of this movie i practiced that shot until i can do it one handed regularly, i have won many beers at the bar with it
Nice Shot Mohamed! Thumbs up.
I gave the like for your shot. beautiful.
very good video , seeing you do it was a bonus , kudos
Seriously...!!! Nice shot....!!!!!!!!!
And I thought he was out side helping to kick start a broom stick, so many great moment in this movie
Shot some pool down in Biloxi in the early 80's and met a 1 armed player who was one of the best I ever saw!
The ending was dope!!!
I love doing that shot. So fun.
And the movie. Great story.
this is an easy shot to make. I have done it many times at bars. you can learn to do it in about a week with consistency.
Yep, it's just a time shot.
that's what i was just telling them.
You can actually do this with around 8 hours of solid non stop practice
i found it funny that they portrayed such an easy trick shot to be an impossibility
and of all things
PUTS A FUCKING LAWYER JOB ON THE LINE AS THE ANTE
LOL
i mean, what a dumb lawyer do you need to be if you can be fooled by this one
that's as stupid as perfectly lining up 8 balls directly in front of a hole perfectly lined up dead straight and close together
with the first ball literally 5 cm from the hole
then saying to someone
i bet you i can sink the last ball by hitting the first ball
LOL
Nice shot at the end there. Cool, dude.
Loved this movie.
it's a copied scene from the movie Hustler but still .... awesome. one of my favorite movies.
Awesome, well done!! 🎱
all i want is meet this guy and play with him! that"s my dream. poll is amazing game.

Top job.
Luv and Peace.
that was dope bro! nice shot. damn, i could never do that
Yes you could, it's not a hard shot
SET IT UP
Like this
Middle Pocket (now depending on whether you favour left or right) go the side of the Middle pocket that you prefer
The distance from the pocket doesn't actually matter too much
ALTHOUGH THERE IS A CATCH AND A CONSIDERATION TO ACCOUNT FOR
You need to account for SPEED OVER TIME AND DISTANCE TRAVELLED
so..
First what you do is Just practice hitting the white in without the black ball (off a double)
A Double is... When you start on one side of the table and instead of aiming directly at the target or the pocket, you first bounce the ball off a cushion and then into the pocket with only one bounce
and it follows that a triple is the same thing but off 2 cushions , 2 bounces
so.. first just double the white into the pocket, get used to where you need to be , keep hitting with a consistant speed (dont' change it )
then once you have that down
Put the black in place
IT MUST BE RIGHT UP AGAINST THE CUSHION or it won't work
Now when you shoot the white
IT MUST JUST TOUCH THE BLACK
what you will learn from the first attempt is
Based on how hard you are hitting the white
HOW FAR IS THE BLACK TRAVELLING
You need to adjust either the speed at which you hit the white
or the original distance of the black from the pocket
or the angle at which you hit the white
Tweak these things
NOW UNDERSTAND THIS AS WELL
the trick is.. to get the black in but NOT THE WHITE
Meaning, when you aim for the pocket, you can't aim in the centre
THE WHITE MUST HIT THE BLACK ON THE SIDE QUARTER SO AS TO BOUNCE INTO THE SIDE CUSHION OF THE POCKET
if you do that, the black can never be potted
this actually isn't hard to do , just practice it a few times and then you can tell your friends that you're a pool god
I've only been able to do that shot once one-handed, out of thousands of tries, lol!
But ... ya don't have to make it. a thousand times. just once. waaaoow.
"Uncle Mike has got balls!"
Loves to gamble!
Your shot was smoother than the one in a movie haha
You did it too thats very talented !!!!!
nice shot guy, never seen that one done in person
The nice thing about CW's shot was that he hit the 8 on the fly. The others were barely moving.
Great work king
nice shot man!
Beauty shot at the end
Nice shot man!
the ending tho! hella grats!
I’m having trouble understanding Walkin, it’s got a kickin “what” system?
“It's got a can't-get-lost system. It's beautiful.”
look at the keys 2:31, then look at the keys at 2:42
different positions, he probably missed in the first try while filming, but that was a fucking great shot
Took Mars 5 or 6.
Chris? One lucky shot.
All I could think of was “I’m young and scrappy and hungry and I’m not throwin’ away my shot”
Nice shot, Homie!!
Hey man, nice shot!
