The Luck of the Irish: Difference between revisions

Also stars Timothy Omundson as Seamus Mctiernen, the antagonist of the film.

 

* [[Born Lucky]]: The main character, Kyle Johnson, is a popular junior high basketball player, gets good grades by guessing answers, and often finds money on the ground because of the lucky gold coin he wore his whole life.

** You may even be able to go as far as to say that this trope was [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstructed.]] Kyle's insane luck only comes from his gold coin, but when he loses the coin, he loses all of that luck, then realizes that he doesn't actually know how to do anything without getting lucky. Especially in the area of basketball, where he went from the team's star player to missing every shot he takes.

* [[Tournament Arc]]: Used as the backdrop as Kyle and his best friend Russ are both on the junior high school basketball team. They eventually make it to the state championship, which is utilized as part of the final bet.

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Semaus when Kyle regains his confidence and begins beating him in the basketball tournament. He actually goes [[One-Winged Angel]], changing into his far darrig form, ranting all the while that he can't be beaten.
