The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh! (1979)


Ok my peoples...so only 2 folks outside of my family know what the fuck im talking about when i mention this movie right'chirr. I know i ain't crazy...ok lemme rephrase that...i know what i'm talking about yo! This movie is such a classic man, the soundtrack was a classic in its own right as well. SIDE NOTE:

The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh tells the story of a struggling professional basketball team, The Pittsburgh Pythons, whose continuous losing streak and lack of talent has made them the laughing stock of Pittsburgh. This results in several players asking to go elsewhere in the league, except for the star player Moses Guthrie (Julius Erving), mostly because he is the highest paid player on the team and is not liked by the teammates.

Sensing that the team really needs a miracle, the team's ball and waterboy Tyrone Millman decides to turn to his favorite hobby, astrology, as a way to turn around the team's fortunes. He brings his idea to an astrologer named Mona Mondieu (Stockard Channing), and they come up with the perfect concept: A team composed of players who were born under the astrological sign of Pisces (matching the star sign of Moses Guthrie), thus the 'birth' of "The Pittsburgh Pisces!"Thanx Wikipedia!!! lol

"Bullet-bullet bullllet, bullet bullet! You so fine you so fine! Lawd have mercy you so fine!" that was a classic moment for me in the movie that Debbie Allen's character (a fan) was yelling to one of the players named Bullet of course...yeah i was 5-6 years old repeating it to everyone lol. Well if you never heard of this flick then you need to find out! C-L-A-S-S-I-C!!!
