Dennis Hopper was so unbelievably good he transcended his role and almost brought his character to life. Hackman was nearly as good. This was a once a lifetime event bringing everything together to make the perfect film - pacing, script, music, actors. Even the secondary actors brought a richness to the film. I count this as the most flawless film every made.
Notice that when Norm gets kicked out ("I've done it again!") and leaves, the sheriff and other townspeople are patting him on the back and supporting him in contrast to earlier in the film. I like the fact that Norm remains a hothead (in this scene, he tells the ref to wipe the pig slop out of his eyes) to the end.
Tyson Dude. Yes I get it on the quality, but 4real: Considering you can't see the WHOLE movie on Y T, to get what you can get...be thankful its not like American Graffiti where even though its not sped up its still on a 1/4 of a screen...
Dan Brenner I was complementing it lol! I was born in 1992 and own the dvd(saw it first on tv), and the quality has never looked like this on anything that I've seen.
Yes, Shooter was the star player. He also says he knows everything about the history of basketball. He knows about the team Hackman's character coached in the professional league.
GIMME MORE OF THIS !!!!!!! Right the F ON! Dammit!! Can't you just put on the full movie? a la other movies, like "The Seven Ups"? (Roy Scheider/Bill Hickman car chase right in there with Bullitt?) Damn you are good!
Jerry Goldsmith was known for combining electronics with orchestra. It's anachronistic, but it works the same way it worked in "Chariots of Fire." Goldsmith sampled the sound of a basketball hitting a floor and used that to great effect in the game scenes. He also used electronics more subtly in other scenes.
I love how aggressively the montage comes in, they just start kicking ass with the score rocking, so good
Two absolute legends together

Hopper and Hackman were the greatest!
Dennis Hopper...
Was as good as it got.
Inspiring music soundtrack
Guy can flat out act.
Wat an awsome movie man Hoosiers my favorite movie
Authentic basketball movie from the classic days. Not a single dunk, even from the final team of black players. No threes.
This is an 80s movies that took place in 1950s Indiana
Dunks and threes are part of the game. An authentic part.
Gene Hackman doin the gimmick!
Great movie
What media is this from? Quality looks like it came right from the film!

Coaches ejection
So much for scouts honor

Damn you are good!
Pigeon shit, not pig slop
Pigeons are a big-city species; he's presuming the ref is a farmboy hick favoring his own team.
The synth music is incompatible with film’s setting. It cost less to produce: synthesizers and digital drums.

Is that pig slop in your eye's!!!
he says "pigeon shit" in the unedited version.
More head coaches should get intentionally thrown out of the game. That was great.
Yeah ...High School Coaches always get kicked out of games.....it happens all the time?
