This preview looks like it would air on LIFETIME Television For Women or a straight to DVD flick. It's a classic movie but today if there was an official "National Period day" Spike TV would run this and a Christmas story 5 to 7 day marathon.
i cant believe this is paul newmans only oscar win he should have won for cat on a hot tin roof, the hustler, hud, cool hand luke, butch cassidy, the sting, even sometimes a great notion but whatever jimmy stewart only one 1 oscar too and he and newman are the 2 best
this movie got me hooked on the game of pool. I play for relaxation, comaraderie and the thrill of competition. The game of pool has it all. An average sized guy like me can compete at the top level against anyone...including women. It demands finesse, not strength.
I think if you are going to make a sequel the least you can do is make something that's different from the original. Charge the material and take risks. It's as much a brilliant sequel as it is its own film.
Several people asking what song is playing, but there are several on the trailer. First is It's In The Way That You Use It by Eric Clapton and next is Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon.
This original theatrical trailer is seen on the original 1986/7 VHS release of "Ruthless People (1986)". The home video trailer is seen on the 1988 original VHS release of "Tin Men (1987)"
@LeviBakersfield I seriously doubt he actually believes that shit. Scientology and other sketchy religions are usually a legal form of tax evasion. I dare say that's what he is doing. If that is the case it makes him quite clever.
"if your too old to cut the mustard, you can still lick the jar.." I really liked this film, though I dont really care for tom cruise...but this was made back when Tom was a well liked actor.
That's why rottentomatoes is more reliable (91%). Remember, the general public spends over 36 million dollars on movies like Vampires Suck, so you can't really trust what your next door neighbor has to say about a movie.

"we got the resource, this is the best" baaaaaaaaaaaaah..... :O god damn !!! i wonder how much money that fucking piece of shit tom cruise paid the movie maker to put those lines............... it's just so unbearably disgusting.... but the general public swallows this shit because they simply got used to it...
awesome movie - lots of people bad mouth it comparing it to the hustler or other scorsese films, but it is really just a great stand alone film, by the way does anyone know the name of the song played in this trailer? i would appreciate it
@jphil317 In some ways, i think its just as good maybe better than The Hustler, got the tune in my head, but couldn't tell you the name of the artist.
...for me the movie was almost all about Tom, Tom shone! With his cute smile and Chicago style attire and with pool cue swinging unselfconsciously, he's was a performance of respect and semi-constraint, along side that of the academy award winning co-star Paul Newman...
Will Cruise ever win an academy award? Well, he has said it doesn't bother him either way and one may wonder if he really feels this way in his heart when he shows such admiration for those that have one.
