Should this be classed as a buddy movie? The nature of Billy and Sidney's itneraction probably fits that definition? --MartinUK 13:26, 11 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Isn't it odd that a movie should be based on racist assumptions and stereotypes? Was there any criticism of this aspect of the film? If so this should be referred to.203.184.41.226 (talk) 04:41, 22 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

I just saw this movie on television in Nova Scotia on Eastlink Cable and I am somewhat sure the following quote from Wikipedia page is wrong: "Winning or losing is all one organic mechanism, from which one extracts what one needs."

It seems to me she did not use the word mechanism but, rather, used some other word. Another person in this same building using this same cable feed (that also provides this internet link so might be co-alterable) also thinks the word was not mechanism but he too isn't sure what word it actually was.

Obviously the range of words that would fit the context is all one organic glob of words, but a glob of how many characters, how many of which can cary within what range of pronunciations? ;)

Aha, the guy just claimed that she said globule. (Yes, I am still watching the same movie.) Is the guy misquoting her? The guy is McLeod's (sp?) apprentice Robbie, from the "there can only be 144,000" (or whatever ;)) tradition. (No, wait, 144,000 is moremen not lowlanders... ;) :D)

Yo Mama

Was this the source of Yo Mama jokes? Was it really the inspiration for the MTV show? That doesn't sound right. It might have helped popularize those jokes, but it's not such a direct relation to the joke or the show, as far as I know. Daniel J. Hakimi (talk) 12:03, 22 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

NO. Yo Mama jokes have been hood since the 1970s 23.251.197.123 (talk) 21:21, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Dunk Bet

ok Billy making a bet for his half of the tournament winnings is so ludicrous but ... BUT why on earth did Sidney take that bet? APPARENTLY Billy Hoyle dunks in the final game for the final point proving that he so easily could have won that $10k. WHY DID SIDNEY TAKE THAT BET? Both are mad men for that bet! I think it's ridiculous that Sidney would even accept that bet, yet he does! 142.161.119.146 (talk) 21:06, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
