`~John Doe~`
Edit cast list for:
Hoosiers (1986)?
Trivia:
The movie was renamed "Best Shot" in Europe because most Europeans wouldn't know what a Hoosier was. `~19451~` was told that whether he made the last shot or not, people were going to rush the floor because of the need for a wide shot of the court. Luckily, he made it as shown in the movie. The filmmakers had trouble filling the FieldHouse with extras for the final game, and needed to move people around when shooting different angles. Extras were given 1950's hairstyles and their clothing was checked for anachronisms. The announcer at the final game is `~Hilliard Gates~`, who announced the "real" game. The actual game was played between the Milan Indians and the Muncie Central Bearcats. For the movie, the South Bend Central Bears were the opponent. The true championship took place in 1954, not 1952 as in the movie, and the score was Milan 32, Muncie Central 30. The actor who played Jimmy Chitwood (`~19451~`) was the only player on the Hickory team not to play high school basketball. He did play college golf at Purdue his freshman year. The actor playing Ollie once left the set to watch his high school basketball team play. He was a junior on the team when he got the role and was feeling homesick, so he decided to go watch them. The crew had to contact his mother to get him to return. For the scene where `~6791~` walks onto the court drunk in the middle of the game, Hopper wanted a ten-second notice before calling action. At the ten-second notice, he spun around in circles until action was called, allowing him to stagger onto the court in an awkward fashion in order to appear drunk. The scene with Jimmy and Coach Dale talking while Jimmy shot baskets was filmed in one take. `~19451~` said that he "wasn't even listening to him." "I was just concentrating on making them and I made one and they kept going in." `~Steve Hollar~` who played Rade Butcher was actually playing basketball for DePauw University at the time. This caught the attention of the NCAA. Later it was deemed that he was acting and not playing and was given a three-game suspension and was charged 5% of his acting fee. `~1668~` was the original choice to play Coach Norman Dale but had a schedule conflict. Told the producers he knew they were on a tight schedule to shoot, and if they found another actor to go ahead. If not, he could do it the next year. `~6790~` then signed on for the part.
