Trivia
The Maloney brothers are supposed to be in high school. In reality, Ricky Schroeder was around 20 and Brad Pitt 27 during filming. But it can be assumed that they were really bad students who were set back several grades in school.

Goofs
The 800 meter run does not start and finish in the middle of the straightaway, it starts and finishes in the corner of the track right before the first curve.

Brad Pitt Vehicle

So it's obvious no one would watch this movie for any other reason than to see a young Brad Pitt climb from the depths of the Hollywood industry that is this film.

Generally, I am a fan of Brad for his motion pictures. And this one is actually fairly good.

It's about two brothers on the opposite sides of life. One is studious and smart, the other is the troublemaker. As the brothers compete in high school track, we are caught between the struggle of good and evil, and contemplate it's real meaning at the end of things.

Great vehicle for Pitt, though probably will not appeal to most.
