Did You Know?
| Trivia | Nicolas Cage came onto the set dressed up with a wig, albino contact lenses and dark sunglasses because he thought this would add more authenticity to the character of two-bit hustler, Eddie. Cage was told that he could dress up however he wanted for his part. See more » |
| Goofs | In the pool hall scene, Joe and Fats are playing "three-cushion billiards," in which the cue ball must carom off both object balls and contact the rail cushions at least three times before the last object ball. However, Fats only touches two cushions on his 2nd and 25th points, which would be a loss of turn and no point scored. See more » |
