Short description
Two street basketball hustlers try to con each other, then team up for a bigger score.
What's left behind the scenes
- Bob Lanier, a legend of the Detroit Pistons and Milwaukee Bucks and a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, was the basketball coach during filming. He was impressed by the skill level of Snipes and Harrelson, which was comparable to that of American college basketball.
- At the beginning of the film, a hip-hop version of the 20th Century Fox studio musical sting plays over the studio's logo.
- A computer game for the Atari Jaguar exists based on the film.
- Future NBA Basketball Hall of Famer Gary Payton appears in the film as an extra playing basketball.
- Actor Cuba Gooding Jr. appears in the film in the crowd at a game.
- Freeman Williams, who played Duke Johnson in the film, had a successful career in the NBA. He played for the Clippers (LA Clippers), Jazz (Utah Jazz), and Bullets (Washington Bullets) for 8 years (1978-86).
- Mel Brooks’s “Robin Hood: Men in Tights” includes a parody of “Basketball is a Black Man’s Game,” where Robin Hood attempts to jump onto a horse and falls, and the Moor Acho laughs, “Friend, white men can’t jump!”
- The “Foods Beginning with Q” category was used on the quiz show Jeopardy! in October 1997.
