White Men CAN Jump!
"Yo motha's an astronaut!" One of the classic trash talk lines from one of my favourite movies ever! Forget about those critics who slate this movie. They just don't have any b-ball blood in them. This is a must see for any true b-ball fan. I came out of the cinema and was still high from the final scenes of Billy (Woody Harrelson) jamming the ball. Another classic line was "I saw your Mom walking down the street kickin' a can, I asked her what she was doin? She said movin!". Excellent! Buy this movie NOW!

Trivia

Woody Harrelson and Kadeem Hardison, who have similar-sounding surnames, and birthdays just one day apart, also share the distinction of this movie being the second-to-last film that they worked on while still attached to their respective sitcoms, which both aired their series finales in May of 1993. The last film that Woody worked on while playing Woody Boyd on Cheers (1982) was Indecent Proposal (1993), and the last film that Kadeem worked on while playing Dwayne Wayne on A Different World (1987) was Gunmen (1993).

Quotes

Sidney Deane: You see Billy it's like this, you either smoke or you get smoked. And you got smoked.

Goofs

Billy tells Gloria that he spent $5.16 of the $62. Gloria then says that they have $58.84 left. They really only have $56.84 left.

Crazy Credits

In the opening credits, we can hear the classical 20th Century Fox Fanfare in a hip hop style.
