Fun Stuff

Goofs:

Anachronisms: The Coney Island Roller Coaster train seen in the movie is made of fiberglass, as most modern ones are, and not wood, as a 1940 era coaster train would be. The film is set in 1940; fiberglass as it is known today was not introduced commercially until 1936, and then primarily as an insulation material. It was not used for applications like roller coasters until well into the 1950's. more

Better than Sting I, 22 September 2000
Author: SanDiego from The Beach

You'll forget all about Newman and Redford once this picture starts and you see Gleason and Davis take over the characters. I think if it weren't for the original this might have swept the Academy Awards, including a very deserved Oscar for Teri Garr. Gleason is the definitive Gondorff! Davis, hot off his success in "North Dallas Forty" charms his way through another great performance as Hooker. With Oliver Reed and Karl Malden one wonders if we'll ever see such caliber of actors in the same room again, let alone the same film. Wow! Sorry, none of this is true...this is a Sting...too.
