Funny Rounders Scenes (1 Viewer)

[SteveEH]

Not enough players for my game tonight so I watched rounders again. I was laughing pretty hard after discovering the scene with Jo and Knish at ~36:30:

Jo: "Knish, how are you?"
Knish: *pause* "The same."

Thoughts?

Pretty sure only John Turturro could have played Knish.. great stuff!

It’s a great line. Very true for those ppl. I used to be involved in poker clubs in nyc and you can run into anyone involved as a regular player or dealer or manager and no matter the amount of time that passes, they’re exactly the same.

Petra was sexy as hell...and I usually hate women with bangs. Mike should have given her the business when he had the chance.

Lot of lines funnier/more relatable on the 20th or 30th viewing.

This one keeps getting funnier to me...

If you haven't seen Matt Damon do KGB, its a must:

I'm probably in the minority. I think its horribly overrated and will probably never re watch it.

It's not a perfect poker movie by any stretch. They got alot wrong (they way the bet with barrels, cutting it to ten, cutting that to five and then splashing the five chips; and the way Mike calls time out facing a big bet), but they got alot right.

And really, it's not a poker movie. It's a movie about finding one's true self played out on a poker background. If you're expecting a poker movie, I can see how you'd be disappointed.

Agreed its not the greatest acting, but its the best poker-related film in the last 30 years, imo.

I can’t take my eyes off the background actor when Worm gets caught cheating at the “municipal game”. He’s like a bull.

The thing is, hardly any other poker movies capture even 5% as much of the game as Rounders does.

California Split and Molly’s game each had some classic moments, but that’s about it as far as competition.

Almost every other movie focused on poker is absolute garbage, and most movies with poker scenes get the action embarrassingly wrong.

And all such movies are forced to include lots of extraneous relationship / drama / action / violence / personal journey stuff, because Hollywood just does not believe audiences will tolerate a true poker movie.

Honestly it is remarkable that Rounders got made at all. And it touches on so many valid and central themes of trying to make it in the game, that I consider it a huge success. The few errors I can forgive.

Plus it is very well-acted. Great cast, no real clunkers.

A true classic.

Love that clip so much.

Rounders is a movie I could watch over and over and over again and probably never get sick of it.

 

[SiouxperStack]

“We both know that’s not true.” Referring to Mike McD’s ability to be felt.

I'm not a fan, either. Only redeeming character is the judge.

 

[Defarse]

Love Rounders. What's also amazing is this was made 5 years before the Moneymaker boom.

Who watches movies for redeeming characters? The villains are always the most fun and interesting.

Your set up is very dope.

 

[SiouxperStack]

This trailer is awful. Very glad they cut the “my skin was tingling” line.

Haha, that was so good, never seen that before!

 

[SteveEH]

Today I can't stop saying "hanging around, hanging around" with a KGB accent.

How about the mockumentary The Grand (2007)? If nothing else, great cast and a few cool cameos...

Almost every scene with KGB was funny, he was serious and funny at same time.
