Prepare for a hilarious ride when two buddies try to become Big Time Hustlers. To get started, they borrow fifty thousand "stacks" from 'Real Deal', a loan shark and boxing promoter. But when the boys get ripped off on their drug buy and they have no way to repay their debt, 'Real Deal' makes them an offer they can't afford to refuse. To get out of debt, one of them must survive three rounds of boxing with 'Damaging Dynamite' but if he loses, they'll have to pay double. Come ride on this outrageous journey with two guys who just want to improve their lives but just can't get it right!

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
