My Favorite Movies: Diggstown
If you liked the Sting, or Rocky, or Rocky and the Sting, you ain’t gonna get closer to heaven then Diggstown.
A man gets out of prision, heads down south to make some trouble. He enlists a pair of old friends and goes to work setting up a caper that is essentially a two-hour lesson in 101 ways to rig a boxing match.
It’s a bad ass flick, and it’s probably a catalog rental at your video store. I challenge you to watch this movie and have a bad time.
EDIT: I’m re-instating the lyric of the day.
“I’m the king of rock, there is none higher
Sucker MC’s should call me sire
To burn my kingdom, you must use fire
I won’t stop rockin’ till I retire”
great movie!!!
Not to big into boxing, but the caper idea sounds good.
Funny you should mention that (expectations after Blade II). My expectations were much lower and thus should have been easier to meet. Even Tas, who loved Blade II, hated Trinity. Which is probably the worst review I can give.
Yeah, Diggstown!!!! “…..Snowflake white…better a limp color than a limp model…..” – LMAO!
No uniform, but he was wearing his standard issue winter coat from the US Army. And there was no Joe Cocker or Jennifer Warnes.
I said cock.
I’ll have to check the movie out, sounds good.
*Lol – That’s true, a sock monkey isn’t afraid of anyone or anything who watches it – it’ll just stare at it right back. And in those staring contests they always manage to go undefeated too – :-p . **Hey, I thought of a couple other Diggstown lines I like: “……he’s bigger than you, he’s faster, he’s tougher, he’s younger than you are. He hasn’t fought 22 rounds today; but you remember this……….you…are black! It’s supposed to be motivational, like a Roots kinda thing”. Then in a different scene at the end after the lines, “Roy, what you did today couldn’t be done”; and Roy says back, “NOW you motivate me!”. Ahhhhhhh – love it!
dude
I agree completely…
Tell your alien brothers that Ronnie Cordova says they’re gay!
