Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

No line says they, or a film of theirs, drew on anything.

The Color of Money (1986): 7 lines

  1. lineage (callback) · through The Hustler (1961), which they acted in: The Hustler ⇒ The Color of Money (the host's read). The mentoring conversation Newman has with Vince and Carmen mirrors the one George C. Scott has with Newman in The Hustler; both films also go on the road.
    “that's basically the George C. Scott has the same conversation with Paul Newman and the Hustler.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Color of Money’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:44:53 · Chris Ryan (0.65 sure it was them)
  2. lineage (sequel/continuation) · through The Hustler (1961), which they acted in: The Hustler ⇒ The Color of Money (the host's read). Newman's Eddie Felson in 1986 becomes the George C. Scott hustler-mentor character of the original, and the sequel answers rather than remakes it.
    “the Newman character in the color of money becomes the George C. Scott character in the Hustler.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Color of Money’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:45:31 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)
  3. lineage (lineage) · through The Hustler (1961), which they acted in: The Hustler ⇒ The Color of Money (the host's read). The Color of Money revisits Eddie Felson years later, with Paul Newman in his twilight and a new protege.
    “Now we find Paul Newman bringing up like a new protégé.”
    The Big Picture · ‘Gladiator II’ Is Here. Are We Not Entertained? · 1:47:28 · Chris Ryan (0.60 sure it was them)
  4. lineage (callback) · through The Hustler (1961), which they acted in: The Hustler ⇒ The Color of Money (the host's read). Newman getting drunk and hustled by Amos is the first time he plays the Jackie Gleason role of the original, drunk and overconfident.
    “it's basically the 1st time he plays Jackie Gleason and the hustler where he's just like wasted and thinks he's going to win and then gets gets hustled.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Color of Money’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:45:56 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  5. lineage (source material) · through The Hustler (1961), which they acted in: The Hustler ⇒ The Color of Money (the host's read). The film is theoretically based on Walter Tevis's follow-up novel to The Hustler but has almost nothing to do with it; Minnesota Fats was in the novel.
    “this is theoretically based on Walter Tevis's follow-up novel to the Hustler, but the movie has almost nothing to do with the novel”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Color of Money’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:52:26 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  6. unmapped (continuing tragedy) · through The Hustler (1961), which they acted in: The Hustler ⇒ The Color of Money (the host's read). The Color of Money carries the original film's tragedy as backstory without explaining it in a monologue.
    “And that's all the backstory for this movie, which is so interesting that he doesn't give the big monologue explaining what happened in the 1st film.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · The Color of Money with Chris Ryan · 0:12:13 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)
  7. lineage (sequel) · through The Hustler (1961), which they acted in: The Hustler ⇒ The Color of Money (the host's read). The Color of Money is the sequel to The Hustler, but built from a new script that keeps only the title of the Tevis sequel novel.
    “Even when they start developing scripts and go, like, throw all that out, start fresh, they kept writing in parts from Minnesota fats.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · The Color of Money with Chris Ryan · 0:13:06 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)
