Did you ever notice that the tipped-ball touchdown catch Elliot happily remembers in the tub is different in detail than the one played back during the game film review? I guess he had two lucky catches in the same game, or else Kotcheff was subtly showing us the imperfection of memory...
shareYes. I noticed that too. There are some parts of this movie where you have to suspend belief. For example, the private detective illegally searching Elliot’s residence and not one thing being said about it. This would have gotten the league sued and most certainly wouldn’t have held up at a hearing or in court if Elliot had challenged his suspension instead of quitting.
share...and it would have gotten the private detective arrested with breaking & entering.
