    • Trivia
      While filming was underway, Omar Sharif was staying at a local hotel, and sent his cousin, who bears a slight resemblance, to tell the director Sharif was at the hotel. The director then rushed the cousin into makeup, mistaking him for Sharif himself.
    • Crazy credits
      In the movie's closing credits, the billing of screenwriter Robert Vincent O'Neill is spelled correctly but in the film's opening credits the name is spelled incorrectly as Robert Vincent O'Neil.

    Don't over analyze "The Baltimore Bullet" .... just enjoy it ...........

    James Coburn is a pool hustler, and Bruce Boxleitner his protégée, in this enjoyable film. Coburn's living on the edge character, is not unlike his portrayal of "Speed" in "Hard Times". Omar Sharif really does not play as much of a part in this as his second billing might lead you to believe. It is a mistake to be too critical of the actual pool games. Just enjoy "The Baltimore Bullet" for what it is, a very entertaining buddy road movie, that happens to have a theme which involves pool. Michael Lerner deserves special mention, for wearing what can only be described as an abominable toupee. Seek this one out. - MERK
