Gene Hackman. The ONLY actor you could love and/or hate with a fierce passion. That man wielded his craft like a finely balanced sword. Respect.

[@Mark-zd5dl]

Yeah, hated him in unforgiven and quick and the dead, loved him in Hoosiers and Mississippi burning.

[@frankieliccardijr220]

Good comment. Although Jack Nicholson was first offered the role, and I could see Jack crushing it too.

I'm 73 and played in small gyms in Western Pennsylvania that looked exactly like those in the movie.

[@vkws828]

It is actually based on a true story that is better than the movie. I was born and raised in the area it was filmed in; and actually played in some of those gyms.

[@alexandria2243]

It is based on an actual story

[@mikeat2637]

There is no doubt that Hoosiers is the BEST sports movie of all time, nudging out Pride of the Yankees. And Gene Hackman was the perfect casting for this role, as well as Dennis Hopper. It's pretty plain and simple.

[@localone1597]

The look on the guy who wanted to coach face after the results is priceless, LOL.

[@shanecompton2428]

I was hitchhiking from Ohio to California in the middle of January with 12 dollars in my pocket. I received a ride from a donut shop to a men's shelter in a small town in Indiana about 9 pm on a Sunday night. I stayed there 4 days. During my stay I saw Hoosiers in a movie theater on Larry Bird Blvd. The town was Terrahaute(sp?) - Indiana.

[@JStarStar00]

Terre Haute, although your pronunciation is on target.

[@DavidGee51]

James Dean was on one of the opposing teams that Hickory defeated during that magical season. Look it up.

[@ericburns9132]

One of my favourite movies with Gene Hackman along with Mississippi Burning and The Conversation

[@chessmentor63]

The French Connection ain't half bad either

[@boondox270]

I agree. Hackman and Defoe were great together in Mississippi Burning.

[@mariocisneros9355]

Agreed, he was great in all three, but my personal favorite is the Unforgiven for which he won a much deserved Oscar portraying Little Bill Daggett - "I don't deserve this, to die like this, I was building a house"

[@boondox270]

@@mariocisneros9355 I wish the quick and the dead was done better. There is something about the movie that feels completely like it was watered down for me, but he was still so good in that movie. He's the only reason that movie is enjoyable.

Still an iconic movie. This and Rudy I can watch 100 times.

[@dpm-jt8rj]

This is probably the best sports movie ever filmed in solely Indiana, with all due respect to "Rudy" which was filmed in both Indiana and Illinois (Chelcie Ross was in Rudy as well).

[@sweshrung]

What parts were filmed in IL?

[@sheepshead17]

He’s a goober in both

[@mattj4211]

In addition, David Anspaugh directed both Hoosiers and Rudy. Cool that they were able to bring in Ross to play Dan Devine.

[@gdoumerc1984]

Chelcie Ross could teach a Masters class on facial expressions.

[@johnkaluzny9649]

I mean I thought he was billy bob thornton until about 2 years ago so he’s mastered that expression quite well

[@twicethechamps]

He should teach it at Notre Dame.

[@King1Wraia]

Remember his expression when Jimmy nails the jumper to win it all. It is also reveals, despite his dislike of coach Dale, that he just wants to win baby! Winning is all that matters!

They needed to address the toilets at Hickory High. For one, there were not enough of them. For two, they were clearly marked "BOYS" and "GIRLS". This would not be allowed today. Why the screenwriter chose to ignore the status of the toilets is beyond comprehension. So many elements around them.

[@bearcattony00]

The thing about George, the rival of Dale, is he doesn't fight the revote or Dale staying. He accepts it knowing they will win with Chitwood.

[@Rob2068]

I never understood the whole jimmy quit basketball thing so he could maybe go to college on an academic scholarship. He’d get a full ride wherever he wanted on a basketball scholarship.

Violated the league drug policy and received an indefinite ban until the town of hickory legalized weed. Look at his eyes. Obviously tokin. In a deleted scene, he and coach actually share a blunt when they have their little chat outside at Jimmy’s house. Coach was like “I don’t give a damn whether you play or not. Just as long as you can get me some more of this stuff.” And jimmy was like “aight”. Then he showed up at the church in this scene and dropped the mic. Coach Dale was like yeaaaaa 2:10

[@MadmanXXVII]

I live in Southern Indiana. About an hour from Milan (the town Hickory is based on). This scene, while awesome, is a Hollywood fabrication. There's never a town/community referendum where a coach gets to defend himself. Things like this are done very discreetly and dirty by a small group of vindictive douchebags with the power to do so. In real life, Norman Dale would've been done for regardless of what Jimmy had to say. Still one of the best movies ever!

[@Stogie2112]

1. He was an outsider; not part of their community. 2. He didn't let anyone from the town help him coach. He did it HIS way. The town folk were insulted. 3. He taught the boys advanced basketball - not the simplistic basketball that the old coach taught. 4. He was a disciplinarian. He was the boys' coach - not their buddy. He held the boys accountable.
