Goofs:
Anachronisms: At the beginning of the movie when the man skids his car yells at Radio and says "What's wrong with you, boy?" he is in a 1977 Ford Ranchero. 1977 was the first year Ford used that style of front end (or "clip" as some people call front end sections) and as stated before, the movie is set in 1976. moreSoundtrack:

The fact that the movie is based on a true story contributes to a better and, of course, more realistic experience and keeps the viewer focused on the basic theme of the movie. The story is filled with unexpected twists which keeps the viewer at all times from figuring the ending out. In one moment you think that something happens to Coach Jones or Radio. Well it does, but certainly not what you'd expect.
The film becomes at no point boring or too sentimental and the acting performances by Ed Harris & Cuba Gooding Jr. are some of their best in my opinion. The ending puts a long lasting smile on your face and makes you wonder if what you are doing is right. Well I guess that was what Michael Tollin & Mike Rich were trying to do. First-class movie.
