Hoosiers (7/12) Movie CLIP - Shooter Runs the Picket Fence (1986) HD

[@Tyrunner0097]

In that last play call by Shooter, you can see his self-confidence grow with each second, to where he's almost smiling and his eyes light up when he tells them, "don't get caught watching the paint dry!". Great job by Dennis in projecting this guy's growing self-redemption.

[@KidFresh71]

Hopper rightfully deserved his best supporting actor Oscar nomination for this role. He crushed it.

[@seanpark7709]

He sure did. Legendary acting in this movie. If you’ve ever known or lived with an alcoholic (I have-my dad) this character resonates on a deep level.

[@OneRedKansan55]

amen

[@dashx1103]

As a recovering addict and alcoholic, I always love the Shooter story line in this movie. AND I appreciate that they did not sugar-coat it to make it seem like he was "totally okay" because he assisted a win or two for the team. It is a hard road. And it was well portrayed in this movie. Good job.

[@Kustomone]

I agree. This is actually the best movie on alcoholism ironically.

[@Kustomone]

Always an alcoholic should be shown more in movies.

Rollin Butcher is the unsung hero of this movie. He supported Shooter sitting with him on the bench in this scene. He brought Whit back to apologize and rejoin the team, which probably influenced Buddy to come back too (even though this wasn't shown in the movie). He also had Dale's back when Dale wanted to close the practices to the townspeople.

[@eddiefeeney9759]

True. They never show Buddy’s return but there are 2 moments in the film where Norman tells Shooter when he’s drunk at Normans house. We’re all coming together. ( reference to buddy ? ) And this is the clincher. Buddy says. Let’s win it coach. Who got us here. Buddy rejoined team after other kids Dad brought him to practice.

I love how Hopper plays it in a way that you can see the fog in his head clearing. He goes from dumbfounded to confused to unsure of himself. But by the time they gets the steal, the mojo is back

[@jamesauber8622]

Gene Hackman. And Dennis hopper. Both great actors. They been in so many. Great movies

[@rickb.284]

Dennis Hopper may have had a bit part in this movie, compared to what he usually plays, but the overall essence of the movie, revolves around his character...great actor for a great scene..

[@sedawk]

Yup - he was nominated as Best Supporting Actor for an Academy Award for this role.

[@Jared_Wignall]

@@sedawk while he was excellent in this film, Hopper should have been nominated for Blue Velvet instead. He gave more of an Oscar worthy performance in Blue Velvet, though due to the character and the time the film came out, they probably didn’t think he could have won for Blue Velvet and since Hoosiers was the same year as Blue Velvet, they put him up for this film instead.

[@palmerlp]

I really love Dennis Hopper in “small” roles. He has so much emotional power.

[@JStarStar00]

See how in the first time out, Shooter is all quivering and nervous and the players were doubtful and shaking their heads. But then the defensive switch he ordered works, and Shooter takes command like he had been coaching for years.

[@JStarStar00]

"All right, this is the last shot we got! We're gonna run the picket fence at 'em!"

In another scene, I love the psychology of success where he talks about the worst freethrow shooter on the team and he says in the huddle "now after he makes the second freethrow..." That's great coaching.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

The actors who were the players for Hickory were all college players at that time, except "Jimmy". But the actor that was the best player in real life was the kid who hit those free throws, the manager.

[@3dbadboy1]

[@tommym321]

My coach did that for me too! It was awesome! But I still missed. Both shots.

[@whatisdoneinthedarkwillbeb9204]

You didn't finish it, the most important part was when he looked at Ollie and said, " and you will hit the second free throw." Incredible movie remember the Titans before remember the Titans.

[@jondstewart]

Dennis Hopper did such a great job as a former basketball star and recruited by Hackman to do a job. It was a challenge for him because he was a nonfunctional alcoholic that lived in a dry cabin in the woods. He remained sober during the games feeling sick and shaky, but still went on.

[@fishordie1992]

[@CPK1125]

Superb scene all the way around

[@Friarjohn1971]

I’ve heard other people’s explanations about what the phrase “don’t get caught watching the paint dry”. I always thought he meant when they go to set set up the picket fence they are standing in the paint and for them not to get caught with a 3 second violation. As they run the picket fence you can see two players standing in the paint.

[@PikeBishop65]

He's saying don't get to the paint, i.e. the"three second zone" too early. The timing had to be exactly right. If the play took too long to develop, they would have a team foul called for a three second violation.

[@ZacharyGreenberg18]

I think it means just keep moving, don't get caught not paying attention even if you're off ball.

[@HarrisonHollers]

Hopper was always better in films where he had the least amount of screen time. Odd thing, but true.

[@chumline577]

The only time Dennis Hopper played a nice guy

[@jondstewart]

I kind of thought he did in Easy Rider, but he was hyper and jumpy. Until Jack Nicholson’s character came on, nobody treated him with any kind of respect. The drug buyers bodyguard kept him away and the hippie they picked up on the side of the road always dismissed him in conversation and trying to fit in at the commune.

My head coach recently did that to me, when *I* was the Assistant. It was for Hockey and not basketball, but still. He got thrown out on purpose, to make me coach the team in the last 4 minutes of the game, where we trailed 3-2. Now I told him, it had been years since I coached, and I felt more comfortable with him coaching, and me being the backup - and to never put me in that position again: Well, he did. Long story short, I got the guys to do a dump and chase, have the forechecker on the defenseman, and told our center to be ready for the slot pass. (the slot is the spot in between the circles, in front of the goal, 10-15 feet out.) Sure enough, it worked, and we scored not once to tie it, but TWICE to win and the place was going insane! So I know how Shooter feels - and we both were able to bring it home, when we were not supposed to win. 🏒🏀🥳
