Diggstown: Difference between revisions

Line 24:

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Gillon holds one boxer's brother hostage, threatening to kill him if the boxer doesn't knock out Palmer. {{spoiler|He doesn't knock out Palmer.}}

* [[Made of Iron]]: Honey Roy takes a beating from several fighters in a 24 hour period, only to emerge victorious. Even during one fixed fight, he encourages the fighter to hit him harder to sell the fix, stating, "I ain't made of glass!"

* [[Out Gambitted]]: Gillon is defeated after a back-and-forth battle of gambits to rig the wager. Realising that he'd been bested by a superior conman, Gillon admits, "You beat me fair and square!"

* [[Out-Gambitted]]: Gillon is defeated after a back-and-forth battle of gambits to rig the wager. Realising that he'd been bested by a superior conman, Gillon admits, "You beat me fair and square!"

** He's still a sore loser, as his next action is to grab the sheriff's gun and try to shoot Caine, only to be stopped by his own son.

* [[Shout Out]]: When Caine is trying to inspire Palmer against a particularly tough fighter, he gives a little speech acknowledging how tough his opponent is, ending with, "But you remember this! You... are black." Palmer wonders what the hell that means, and Caine admits he was trying to inspire him; "It's a ''[[Roots]]'' kind of thing." Palmer retorts, "Well, you're shit at motivation." Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].

** There was an echo of this later on (but it was cut and only appears in one of the trailers). Roy is facing a nightmare challenger from his past.

{{quote| '''Roy''' He seems awful mad.. (beat) Did you tell him he was black?
