Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Due to budget limits and to add to the realism to the movie, the director and producers chose to use real news clips from the Cleveland area from the actual events that took place in the movie. See more »
Goofs Danny turns down a beer at his girlfriend's apartment and asks if she has a soda. In the '70s, nobody in Cleveland (or northeast Ohio) would even know what a soda was; they would have asked her for a pop. Even non-natives quickly adopted this term when referring to a soft drink; occasionally a soft drink might be called a coke but never a soda. The term soda referred to carbonated water used in a mixed drink. See more »

Quotes Danny Greene: Mr. MacLeish; Danny Green.
Mr. MacLeish: I know who ya are. You're the tool who sent me this... Four thousand to unload each vessel? Are you outta your fucking mind? The price is two thousand. We have a contract and you're going to honor it or I'm going to lock out your union. Is that clear ya fuckin' potato eater?
Danny Greene: Potato eater? Seeing as how the potato was the only source of nutrition in Ireland for 300 years and half the population including my ancestors died in the great famine, I'd say that term is insensitive. Speaking of culinary tastes, Mr. MacLeish, you're Scottish aren't you? Let's talk about Haggis. Haggis is seasoned lard stuffed into a sheep's colon. So I may be a potato eater Mr. MacLeish but I don't eat fat out of a sheep's asshole... What do you think of the new carpet?
