TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Reverend Fred Sultan (Samuel L. Jackson) greets a man with shoulder length black hair and a black suit, with "Hey Vincent, Vincent, where's Jules man?", a reference to Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction (1994).

The lion's head entrance to the MGM Grand featured in the movie has since been removed, because many Chinese gamblers avoided the casino (or entered through the back entrance) due to the feng shui belief that entering the mouth of the lion was bad luck.

Sol (Jon Lovitz) mentions, when watching the film of Tommy Morrison being knocked out, that he is "John Wayne's cousin". Morrison was John Wayne's (real name Marion Michael Morrison) grand-nephew.

Many members of the cast made either guest appearances, or had recurring roles on the FOX television series Roc (1991), which featured Rocky Carroll as a regular cast member. This includes: Samuel L. Jackson, Corbin Bernsen, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Jamie Foxx, Albert Hall, Lamont Johnson, Art Evans, and Rick Scarry.

Such was Ron Shelton's dislike of this movie that he has said, "I tried to get my name taken off it, because the film they made was not the script I wrote. I find it a horrible movie."

Popular Dialogues

"[Quoting his father] Mitchell Kane: Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and I'll give ya something to cry about you little bastard!"

"Rev. Fred Sultan: if there isn't a white heavyweight out there for you, I'm going to create you one. James Roper: [Confused] "white heavyweight?", The words don't even go together, it's like saying "black unity""
