The Stephen A. Smith Hottest Take Award
Old Tom Cruise teeth; Cocktail 2
The production indirectly enabled Eyes Wide Shut because Dr. Jerry Punch recommended Nicole Kidman after Dead Calm. Days of Thunder is tested and rejected as better than Top Gun. Tom Cruise's original teeth are preferred to his later straightened teeth. Michael Rooker should have become a much bigger star, though a lack of comic range or conventional leading-man looks is offered as an explanation. The film would be better as Cocktail 2, with Brian Flanagan leaving the bar business for racing.
