Tom Cruise in The Color of Money

Tom Cruise is phenomenal.
He gives a nice show, but he really can play pool. This is my favorite scene from the movie.
Starring - Tom Cruise as Vincent and Paul Newman as Fast Eddie Felson.
Songs: Eric Clapton -
"It's In The Way That You Use It" & Warren Zevon - "Werewolves of London".

[@enut23]

I remember Paul Newman saying that Tom practiced for 10 hours a day for 6 months and by the end he was so good he could've gone pro. Not strange to hear that given what we know of TC now, but back then that was some Daniel Day Lewis dedication.

I can exclude some Battlefield titles but generally the latest ones are just as bad. The reason why doom is still king is because it's fun, challenging and rewards smart thinking and exploration. You don't have perks or xp to level up, instead your own instincts and sense of control improves. You just pop in the game and start shooting demons in no time. No day one patch, no broken gameplay on release, no unskippable cutscenes, no quicktime events, no content blocked by a paywall, NON of that crap...

Cruise is a talented and very professional actor. He will always take responsibility for the film with his work rate and focus.

One of the greatest movie and scene, Tom is totally an actor who knows how to work the cameras. Excellent!

[@drmitofit2673]

The background for this scene is that Fast Eddie previously got inside info from the pool hall manager who says the older man in the nice suit carries a lot of money but scares off easy. So the plan is to have Vincent avoid showing off against the best local player Moselle (big guy in cowboy hat). Vincent disobeys and takes the fancy "Balabushka" cue and beats Moselle, scaring off the mark (cut out from the end of this clip). This explains why Fast Eddie is so disgusted, even though Vince won them money, as they could have taken the rich old guy for much more.

[@steveconnelly9207]

I only wanted to point out that I had counted all the full shots that Cruise had in the movie and it totaled 3. All the rest were probably shot by Sigel and cut into the film. A film cut means that in the next nano-second you are gonna see a different piece of film that shows the ball going into the hole or where ever. I counted Newman's as well and I believe he made all his shots; one complete shot from start to finish. I've got the movie and I'll re-check it but as a rule the film shows the shooter cueing the cue ball then the start of the forward stroke but then comes the cut and you see a new shot, maybe a different angle or something and you see the ball go in the hole then maybe, just maybe they might pan back to the guy who was supposed to be shooting first and he acts as if he made the shot, but he didn't . A stand in like Sigel has already stepped out of the camera range and I looks like Cruise made the shot but in fact it was somebody else! Watch Newman and see if you can find any cuts during any of his shots. There's only one that I'm not 100% sure about. All the rest show the complete shot in Color of and the Hustler.

So obviously Mr. Cruise couldn't handle that shot and someone reached in and lined it straight up for him so he could continue dancing! :)

[@Jesse-cx4si]

I’m certain he could have made the 3 ball but they wanted the almost 1 minute shot to run with not hitches.

[@TheMrBennito]

paul newman. one of the greatest. Tom cruise. at his very best. the energy!

[@zwem6]

2 things. 1)- Never play a dude when his name is on a shirt. 2)- You can actually get away with dancing and acting a fool if you do it like a boss. Folks, Tom Cruise does it like a boss in this scene.

[@batswbennett]

He does it like Tom Cruise, not a boss.

[@walrus2515]

confidence is key

[@Jabberwockybird]

Here because of RetroAhoy.

[@leoschue8071]

Hey, I am too!

[@TheForsakenEagle]

Also check out the book "Masters of Doom". Great read.

[@ExcaliburHeavyBattlecruiser]

ME AS WELL

[@danteezy945]

Same

[@aishaarellano8869]

Jabberwockybird me too

[@darinfoat8410]

Fantastic scene. My favorite little touch is how the honking car horn blends perfectly with the start of the song when Paul Newman is driving.

[@ApocalypseMoose]

In here? RIPPING AND TEARING

[@JDE24]

If you'll notice the position of the ball @ 1:27, compared to 1:45 when he actually shoots the one handed shot are different. I never noticed that in the 5 times I've seen this film until now. I liked this scene when I was younger, but watching it now makes me think, "what a tool." Every shot he makes in between his antics is a straight in perfectly spaced out layup. If he was walking around the table banking everything in, then maybe he could act like this... I understand it's for affect and love the movie. My favorite scene however is when he plays Grady Seasons for the first time.

[@elbob17]

That's because the role of Vince starred Tom Cruise not Minnesota Fats.

[@Zombies8MyPizza]

"Tom Cruise runout" is a popular phrase in pool in reference to this. When the balls lay so that all you have to do to clear them up is play a series of easy stun shots to maintain position for the next ball, i.e. the easiest type of runout possible, it's referred to as a Tom Cruise runout.

[@bossmustang9615]

Zombies Ate My Pizza! : also called" a road map "run out

[@aishaarellano8869]

JDE24 I'm not sure what you do for work but you should do movie editing

[@Zombies8MyPizza]

Boss Mustang A roadmap runout is just a runout that's particularly easy, though might require some follows, stuns and screws. A Tom Cruise runout is a run that only requires stop shots.

[@hunterwolf9591]

And thus, a legend was born.

[@AlexisG-no6nu]

One of the best scenes of the 1980s. And for me of all time. Fast Eddy was watching himself 30 years earlier.

[@dereks66]

Great sound track! Great actors and director! Amazing film!

[@zyxw2011]

tom cruise the mega star

[@zyxw2011]

you dont have cool scene like this in today's movies.

[@squarepeg85]

The last time I saw this scene I was about 7, and I totally fell in love with Tom Cruise. I've come a long way since then, thank God o.O

[@fatchickenswitnoribs]

Agreed! That cue ball control was top-notch.

[@GiordanDiodato]

0:38 And thus we got the name of one of the biggest FPS juggernauts ever.

[@fickdich5114]

Didnt knew this movie, but i have to say, back then, Tom Cruise looks really pleasant and also his laugh isnt creepy like nowadays xD

[@coreyabshure1463]

This and cocktail are Tom cruises best movies.

[@celebrim1]

Tom's best role to this day.

[@JeewanthaBandara]

It's no wonder that Cruise is the last true movie star. He was taught by the best

[@MarvelousLXVII]

The “doom” scene is how Id Software came up with the name Doom for their shooter.

[@samutzu11]

Orvis has the best part in this clip. Great acting without even talking ahahaha

[@socalsocal88]

Newman and Cruise. 2 of the best ever.

[@babygirl6789]

Let's take a minute to appreciate Tom Cruise's sexiness in this movie.

[@freejack]

classic 80's! classic Tom.

[@OvelNick]

I can't listen to the song without seeing Tom cruise.... "drinking a pina colada in trader vics, his hair was perfect"

[@time558]

I love how Scorsese plays with lyrics of the background music (Warren Zevon "Werewolves of London") "you better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim", a shot on Cruise smiling and laughing at his opponent, shaking his head with malice. "Ha! I'd like to meet his tailor" : Paul Newman enters the scene....brilliant.

[@1986SSMONTECARLO]

His hair was Perfect!!! ''AAARRR AAOOOOW''

[@aishaarellano8869]

2016BMWi8 that twirling of that stick....whhhhaaaat goals

[@Marchew1200]

EA: "What you got in there?" id Software: "In here? DOOM :D"

[@rossogden9920]

Cruise should have won the Oscar for this scene alone.

[@suzannesellers7383]

Werewolves of London has held a place at so many points in my life.

[@elliepses]

This movie has been watched by John Carmack.

[@Prowbar]

Hehehehehehehehhe DOOM!

[@Prowbar]

Sorry for my retarded comment lol.

[@lulubeloo]

Holy shit, that self-esteem. Want to have that! Imagine if he missed a shot, all that dancing and prancing was for nothing.

[@robertbelyea5767]

+lulubeloo He couldn't miss ;)

[@RaikenXion]

I luv that Zevon song, but Paul Newman's face just says it all, classic.

[@MultiAmbivalent]

Surely nailing the line "his hair was perfect" is Tommy C's finest acting moment.
