The "weight" comment was the actual end of the act. His "Do you think I need to lose some weight?" was him asking Eddie if he thinks Amos might actually need to give up some "weight" in order for Eddie to have a chance of winning.

Amos is answering the question Eddie asked earlier in the scene. "You a hustler Amos?", his question at the end "You think I need to lose some weight?" was basically Amos's way of letting Eddie know that he is in fact a hustler and Eddie would need weight to win.

Nice use of Muddy Waters' Still A Fool against the rolling of the balls.

@Gos1234567 Thats actually not how the conversation went down at all. When he says "Hey let's just play" was after the "double or nothing" "double or nothing" mimmick moment WAY before Eddie knew what he was getting himself into. When Eddie asks Amos if he is a hustler he responds "that's just luck", he asks him again and Amos responds "what, you wanna quit?" Amos never admitted outright he was a hustler until the "weight" like, although he knew Eddie was fully aware well before then.

@Gos1234567 I'm not trying to be a dick, but I don't think you read my comment clearly. I said this is "a weak sequel compared to how great The Hustler is". Which means I have already seen The Hustler... many times & I think its a masterpiece movie. Unfortunately this is all we have for a sequel, as poor as it is. I'm just saying than iTunes doesn't have the only movie Newman won an Oscar for.

@dokokai the hustler is WWWAAAAYYYYYY better man,altho i like this as some popcorn fluff,but watch the hustler,it is actually pretty deep about the complexity of winning v losing

[Gos1234567]

@Stiletos naw the hustler thing was verified earlier,eddie asked him are you a hustler,forrest didnt answer properly,said something like "lets just play" ,then it was taken for granted than forest was a hustler,the weight thing was just an insult to eddie

[dokokai]

Can you believe iTunes still doesn't have this movie?!! And Newman won the Academy Award for his role... although I still think it's a weak sequel to how great "The Hustler" is.

This was the film that brought Forrest Whitaker to my attention. And fortunately for him, he was given the best line in the movie. He held his own with Newman too. Nice work.

:14 ... he's aiming at the 1?

I've been around the pool scene since this movie came out, and trust me, Amos' final question had nothing to do with handicapping.. It was the needle, pure and simple..

To say otherwise ruins the moment..

Great acting!!

@DelBluenose80 no he actually loses the game... afterwards he relizes that his eyesight wasnt great and so he gets glasses afterward and swims to get back in shapes and practices to get his game back
