That was the only way to do it back then,.....in some cases, there are actors in Hollywood who have twin siblings. Actress Linda Hamilton, for example, has a twin sister named Leslie. They used Leslie in some of the Terminator films such 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' in scenes that needed two 'Sarah Connors' in the same scene.

H O W ? ! Look . . it's a TV show and I get it. KITT can do some pretty amazing things but, at the very least, they all have some kind of semi-plausible explanation. Booster rockets exist, microwave emitters exist, AI exists. Most of KITT's functions are basically extreme advances of plausible technology so I can suspend my disbelief. But being able to manipulate a dice roll or unlock handcuffs is just magic. It's too far . . . even for this show. Notice they never even bothered trying to explain how KITT could do it.

[@fjccommish]

[@akosbarati2239]

Well... Chow-Yun Fat is mostly known here in the West for his John Woo movies and the ones he did in English. He starred in a series called God of Gamblers, which at first have begun as pretty serious. Then came the "super secret contact lenses with super secret decks made abroad", the ridiculous amount of bets, no matter if you count them in Hong Kong or US dollars, the changing of directors, Chow's change from the original character to a lookalike first... ... and then came From Vegas to Macau, a very, very self-aware parody of the God of Gamblers franchise. Kind of like if Saints Row would be made into live-action from its original intent to copy GTA to parodying everything, even themselves.

[@morganrussman]

For instances like at 2:50, I didn't initially understand how they pulled this off, but these days, I have an idea of how they did. For the curious, even back then, it wasn't hugely difficult. A few options they have/had is Just have the actor stand on one side of the camera while they film, and then use another negative to film the actor in a different perspective and then splice them together in post production. Or, maybe use the same negative and film the actor in 2 different sports with the same film. Today with software editors, it isn't terribly different with the one I mentioned before.

If you're disciplined and know your game, you can always walk out a winner on a winnable game. Then again most games in a casino are at best 50/50 chances of win or loss. The games with better odds 1. Blackjack 2. Roulette 3. Craps

[@mutex1024]

Because of probability, there is no guarantee to "always walk out a winner" on any casino game. Only Blackjack can have a player advantage with card counting and adjusting your bets. However, casinos will stop you from playing if they notice you are adjusting your bets based on card counting. I hope you haven't fallen for the myth that Roulette and Craps can be beaten.
