Pool Shark Neon Sign
Are you a fan of pool or billiards, or do you know someone who is? Then we have something special for you: the Poolshark Neon Lighting. This unique lighting brings a touch of humor and a bright glow to any room.
The term "pool shark" is slang in the billiards world and refers to an experienced and skilled pool or billiards player, who often hides his or her abilities to trap opponents, similar to how a shark stalks its prey. This is reflected in popular culture, where "pool sharks" are often depicted as charismatic and admirable figures, despite their deceptive tactics. It is this mix of skill, strategy and sometimes deception that gives the term "pool shark" its rich connotations.
Some of the best-known films in which pool sharks play a central role are:
- 1961's The Hustler, starring Paul Newman as "Fast" Eddie Felson, a small-time hustler who takes on the legendary pool shark "Minnesota Fats," played by Jackie Gleason.
- The color of money from 1986, the sequel to The Hustler and again starring Paul Newman. Newman's character, Eddie Felson, in this film is a pool shark transformed into a pool manager. The film also introduces Tom Cruise as the young and talented pool shark Vincent Lauria.
