HOOSIERS - Assistant Coach "Shooter" Flatch (Dennis Hopper) 

I love the way all those young men looked into his eyes for leadership. “You reckon #4 will put up their last shot dad?”

When we first are introduced to Shooter he's telling a story about when he was playing in a sectional game for Hickory and he shoots for the last shot and misses. Thats the best story he has to tell at the time. After this scene we catch him in the hospital telling the new story to the nurse and what a success it was. Tremendous arc for this character - the heart of the film.

I get goosebumps every time I watch this scene! R.I.P. Dennis Hopper

The smile after Shooter says don’t get caught watching the paint dry - first time in the movie he has his son’s attention and respect. Perfect.

Maybe the best part of the movie. Shooters son saw how lost he was, just needed a little push in the right direction.

I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING!!!!!

Anybody who's ever coached their kid cherishes this scene. And just one of many great scenes in the best sports movie ever made.

This powerful scene makes the later hospital scene so gutwrenching.

"Rade, let yourself get taken out. Buddy, you drop down and take his place... Close that Lane." EPIC.

Amazing sequence, and incredibly vulnerable performance from Dennis Hopper.

Dennis Hopper is one of the All Time Great actors. He played some weird characters in movies but this movie really shows how good he was.

apart from 'The Natural' homerun... this is the best sports movie moment of all time!!!! Shooter--- let er fly, and then coaching his son, and comin thru.... Anybody's who's coached their kids. The BEST!

My eyes well up every time in multiple scenes whenever i I watch this movie

What makes this film work when many sports movies don't, or are cliche, is that the details and feel are right. You can understand the excitement and stress of the games and the pressure that Hackman's character is under. How he has to make split second decisions and evaluate all kinds of factors, bringing all his experience and wisdom to bear at just the right moment (and also battle his own character flaws). Hackman is so good that he disappears into the part of the coach. I thought he should have been Oscar nominated, but maybe people had just gotten used to him being that excellent that it didn't register enough at Oscar time. Hopper and Hershey are both memorable also.

“I’ve done it again!.” 😂😂😂

Arguably the greatest sports movie ever made featuring 2 of the greatest actors of all time

The four who voted this down got caught watching the paint dry.

My favorite scene in the film! The music and Dennis Hopper’s acting make this scene one of the best of all time.

3:51 It was such an exciting moment that even the opposing player, wearing 21, wanted to give Shooter a high five.

Great supporting performance by the late great Dennis Hopper

I met him once 20yr after this. At the Kentucky derby he was a short small dude. But was cool!

Hopper made me want to live in a shack in the Indiana woods, wearing a top hat.

So many great subplots to this movie. I read that "Hoosiers" was renamed "Shooter" in Europe. Nice double-meaning. I wasn't surprised that Dennis got a best supporting actor nomination. But why Gene didn't get nominated as best actor escapes me. One on-line review said Gene was asked to do too much. Well, that's all part of the story, isn't it, overcoming adversity?

Shooter should be in the hall of fame

"I've done it again!" LOL

Maybe one of Hopper's best moments. Maybe one of the best moments.

Hopper and Hackman. LOL!!!!

Great Scene !!! Love Dennis Hopper !!!

Rest in Peace Dennis Hopper....

The music score to this movie made it great. It's on spotify also.

At first as a parent you are proud of your kids. Eventually you realize you want them to be proud of you.

Anyone that’s ever let alcohol get the better of them was real proud during this scene.

Seems the best part of this is the shot of them running off. They cut across the camera on a short angle, which gives motion and grace to the team, expressing the triumph. Very good.

hopper is a straight up wild man legend!

2:10 when they come back onto the court after Shooters first good huddle. Never forget seeing in the theater as a kid. Just all time great feels in a movie

And boys Don’t get caught watching the paint dry!

Never thought I'd see Lex Luthor and King Koopa in the same movie.

"Like a rusty steak knife cutting through a well-aged steak"

During the fling, Hackman and Hopper were sure this film would end their careers. They thought it was terrible.

Goosebumps

What a play from shooter!

To Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. "WHY!" Wasn't Dennis Hopper given (least one) one Oscar for his career.

0:51 lol the fact that he purposely done that is funny😆

It's just the right side of cheesey.

I need a blanket watching this scene.

Is it just me or did Simmons watch this movie every day as a teenager when it came out?

Great scene!

Dennis Hopper coaches the basketball team when Gene Hackman is taking a break

Although terrific, it's not this scene that gets me, it's what Shooter does after.

Great defense Buddy!

Nick Nolte, Gene Hackman and Tom Hanks all got ejected in movies filmed in Indiana.

@macgregor322 It was part of a montage going from game to game before this scene.

The drunk Tex Winter!

Big mistake - it's clearly No. 15 (Jimmy) who intercepts the pass, but when they cut to the closeup it's Buddy with the ball calling timeout.

this is what imagine a all white school basketball team to play like.

So in Indiana in the 50's was it legal for offensive players without the ball to just stand in the lane for like 10 seconds?

Just like Pop did so Becky Hammon could coach the Spurs.

Now boys dont get caught watching the paint dry the picket fence - thats english language imagine?

close that lane

I like how the ref is automatically apologizing before he’s said a word.

0:03 Hickory in White... 0:09 Hickory in Red o_0
