8-Ball game in the bar


The 8-ball game played in the bar between Beckman ("Jr.") and Hoot was by far the weirdest game of pool of any kind ever captured on film. First Hoot took a turn at the table and sunk about four or five of his 7 solid colored balls but then missed. Then Beckman had his first turn and sunk five or six of his 7 striped balls but then missed. At this point in the game there should have only been about four total balls, including the black 8-ball, remaining on the table. But, when Hoot begins his second turn at the table there are suddenly about TEN (10) balls present. It gets even goofier after that. Also, Beckman was unable to make even a "pretend bridge" to hold the front of the cue stick. VERY FUNNY.

That's bad editing. I'm sure they filmed the whole game properly, but then the editor thought the shot from earlier with more balls on the table looked better.
