Why do people keep saying, I'm only 12, I'm only 3, I'm only not even born yet?

ya it's not the hardest shot in the world but pros miss free throws in basketball too..... it's called pressure. This movie is about the mental side of pool, the lions and jackels

"Christopher Walken made the difficult trick shot to win the match against Tara's (Eastwood) boss on the first take. He was supposed to make a "trial run" for the scene, but he asked that the cameras go ahead and roll, in case he happened to make it on his first try, and he did." the reactions (with the handclapping etc) are genuine reactions.

To know for certain, listen to the director commentary. Awesome movie.

Cool scene. But they had plenty of times to get multiple takes to get this final pool table scene in a one shot in take.

@ikbrandon Right. Well I'm just on YouTube to watch videos of interest and comment, not to impugn anyone's intelligence. I'm sorry if you found my original comment that offensive. I was just expressing my opinion on the movie.

@XFS540 excuse me all to hell...aparently u have never mispelled a word in ur life... i didnt know i was on youtube conversating with harvard grads... plus it doesnt really matter if i spell right or not u still knew what the word was...which i am impressed with that...

@ikbrandon First of all, never call someone else an idiot when you can't even spell the word CONCEITED correctly (also the wrong word to use). Second, if you ever saw Paul Newman in The Hustler, you would see just how great a movie about pool or billiards can be, with regard to both acting performance and believable skill. Third, the game of pool isn't that prevalent in this country relative to major league sports. I'm just saying that I enjoy it more than most people, not most pool players.
