Short description
After being discharged from the Army, Brian Flanagan moves back to Queens and takes a job in a bar run by Doug Coughlin, who teaches Brian the fine art of bar-tending. Brian quickly becomes a patron favorite with his flashy drink-mixing style, and Brian adopts his mentor's cynical philosophy on life and goes for the money.
What's left behind the scenes
- The world-famous restaurant TGI Friday's made its first appearance in this film.
- Tom Cruise knew that Gina Gershon was ticklish, so he tickled her so vigorously during the bedroom scene that they both fell out of bed. That take made it into the film.
- Screenwriter Haywood Gould wrote a book and screenplay based on his experience working as a bartender in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when he was just starting to write.
- Tom Cruise's bartending skills were taught to him at a special Bartending School in Toronto, Canada. At one point, the instructor assigned to the actor refused to teach him to juggle bottles and glasses, because the training took place in a real bar, and there was a risk of breaking dishes and facing a lawsuit for damages. The actor was provided with prop plastic tableware on set. It took many takes to film all these scenes.
- Filming of the movie began on October 26, 1987.
