28. not as fictional as one might think...
The characters are based on three brothers who were actual hockey players; two of them starred in the film.

Along with their time on minor professional teams like those depicted in the film, all three of the actors playing the Hanson Brothers played in the major leagues. Steve Carlson played in 225 games, in both the NHL and the WHA. Dave Hanson played in 136 games in the NHL and WHA. Jeff Carlson played 7 games in the WHA. Like their characters, both Dave Hanson and Jeff Carlson were known for a willingness to "drop the gloves".

Vastly underrated. As an action movie, and as social commentary. :toast::beer: :9
