So was Czervic's arm really broken?
I have always wondered this since the film was released, mainly because of the way he moves it around as if it really wasn't.
shareNo, he was faking it to get out of the bet. He was playing the worst game of his life. MY question is why they let Czervic have a substitute at all. Otherwise, they forfeit and Smails gets his money.
On the other hand, it might be a fractured ulna.

Aha, I found you! Could you please explain to me how Dr. Strangelove is funny?

It's not laugh-out-loud funny. It's black humour. Dark comedy. Considering the death toll at the end, not much light there.

The Doctor, Small's partner, lied and verified the break to force the forfeit. Therefore Small's couldn't object to a substitute being brought in.
shareI think Lou allowed the substitute because he secretly wanted Al and Ty to win. (He knew Smails was a prick)
