n 1984 and 1985 I worked as a chip attendant at the Bicycle Club Card Casino in Bell Gardens, California. Many of the casino indoor scenes were filmed there at the five raise blind tables where I worked often. One day while I and a co-worker were on break, we decided to view the current film take at one of the tables with Ryan O'Neal. My co-worker was talking about what we thought Ryan's favorite color might be. Suddenly a really tall man (he was 6'7") standing close to us said "Blue, like his eyes." I asked him how he knew and he said he was Ryan's bodyguard. Then asked us both if we wanted to go see the powder blue shag carpeting walls in Ryan's tour bus. We did have a few minutes left on our break so we said yes. The bus was all blue! Even the ceiling and walls were covered with blue shag carpet and beveled mirrors. It was beautiful. When we returned, the bodyguard introduced us to Ryan. He said hello and had to leave to film more of the movie. Earlier that day, I was filmed walking from the cash cage down the hallway. I just downloaded the movie so I am going to watch it and see if I am in it. I should be in it several times and my friend Lori, who was a cocktail waitress with tux and tails, handed him a drink in the film at the casino table. I will never forget the experience.
If it's true that Warner Bros owns the rights to this one, I want to see it on HBO Max or at the very least as a limited release DVD or Blu-Ray. I just have to see this movie now.
Yes, its true. Because that's why AOL Time Warner owns the rights in 2002 after its 1992 limited re-release as a director's cut like Promises in the Dark, Farewell in the King, The Favor and There Goes My Baby, I want to see them again on TNT, Lifetime or Oxygen for the very least.
HBO pretty much seemed to unleash its entire catalogue in the late 2010s except for the stuff that they didn’t have complete ownership over like tales of thr crypt because they didn’t own the rights to some music, but if they didn’t show it back then I’m not sure why they would now ? They’re trying to cut costs like crazy
There's gotta be something wrong with me! I see this movie all the time on VHS and love it. I live in Vegas and enjoy craps -- I've had plenty of losses and big wins as well. I've almost experienced every outcome as seen in this movie. It's very true to life. I'm still waiting for this movie to go to DVD. Richard Brooks was indeed a genius!
At the end of the movie he bets a quarter and continue to play enough to win $89 K. That's not reality! That's a "Fairy Tale"! Not even Disney can come up with a "dream ending" light that!
I bet your best bet is for it being a vhs rip on a some torrent website. Anything that didn’t make it to dvd or even blue ray when that format peaked in the late 2000s, I’m not sure why they would now ?
.. gave 2 geart gamblin scenes. The one with the moneyrunner song and the 'grand finale..Anyone know movies with great gambling scenes that i missed in the years? Hard eight has a few but more subdue, if that is the word :)
discovered this when going thru some old videos - you know the keep / throw out thing. i got 10 minutes of it b4 the tape ran out. now where in the hell - other then ebay - can i get a copy of this?
Warner Bros owns the rights to this movie rather than MGM/FOX as Warner Bros. own the MGM movies before 1986 so this would most likely go on the Warner Archive label.
AOL Time Warner owns the rights to Fever Pitch (1986/2002) rather than Buena Vista as Warner Bros. own the Turner Entertainment library such as MGM, UA, Lorimar, Telepictures, RKO, Rastar/Seven Arts, The Wolper Organization, QDE, CLE, Avon Productions, New Line Cinema, Fine Line Features, Castle Rock Entertainment, Bel-Air Entertainment, The Bedford Falls Group, The Geffen Company, The Ladd Company, InterMedia, Silver Pictures among others before the spring of 1986, so this would most likely go on the Warner Archive label.
Ok, so there was some cheesy acting & the soundtrack was bad disco but the main theme instrumental made you actually want to go gamble.....hahaha. I thought it was an entertaining movie.
O god if i remember correctly Ryan O'Neal received a razzie for his performance in this film i'd rather watch the good fever pitch movie starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon

That is an incredible story, thank you!
@@doctorsuarez Oh you are welcome. It was one of the most memorable experiences that I have had and I will never forget it!
I love that dialogue. It's like awkward beat poetry.

Same here. I’m usually pretty good at tracking down and obtaining lost or obscure movies, but this one is impossible 🤦♂️

Oh God...Oh Man...Oh God...Oh Man... Ryan and the Razzies Collection. now I need to watch this movie. I loved this trailer.
This was Richard Brooks' final picture and sadly, he died in 1993. As of 1998, Warner Bros. owns the rights to this latter rather than anyone else.

Terrible and enjoyable are not at all mutually exclusive.

you're wrong. I've gone on huge run ups from 10 dollars or less all the way up into six figures.@@arturovillaluz2053

I have this on Video cassette. I liked it but my vcr broke. I can't find it on dvd anywhere.

I've ripped it from an old VHS into DVD if anyone wants to watch it
Great video man! Totally agree!!!
No, it's insanely bad!!!
A great director's sad farewell!!!
I'm a day player in the game of life.
THIS LOOKS HORRENDUS
4:24 The girl is just like "what am I doing in this movie?"
I gotta see this. Quentin Tarantino is a fan.
Hugs and kisses. LIES.
Fuck.
This seems to be the Schindler´s List of Horrible movies.

I thought this movie was great
Anyone know where I can get this movie--Thanks
JESUS LOVES YOU AND WE LOVE YOU TOO AMEN!!!

Was this intended as a comedy?
It was intended to have some comedic elements, but ultimately no. The parts that aren’t meant to be funny are funnier than the parts that are.
star trek 4
This was Catherine Hicks' only current hit in the Star Trek film franchise after a series of major film flops.
