It's a great little movie, and one that I am unabashedly in the cult for.Tim Lehnererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410878013331168436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715711610648154390.post-34199113938646316662015-04-06T15:31:36.337-04:002015-04-06T15:31:36.337-04:00I will join the church of Diggstown with you, Tim!...I will join the church of Diggstown with you, Tim! I love this movie also. Whenever someone asks me what my favorite boxing movies are, I always list this along with the usual suspects (Rocky, Raging Bull). Woods, Gossett, and Oliver Platt are amazing, and Dern is a perfect villain.KO Robhttp://kopictureshow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715711610648154390.post-33593315439459039192015-04-06T11:38:42.306-04:002015-04-06T11:38:42.306-04:00I detest sports movies.

I think Diggstown is actually a grift salad with a few sportsy bacon bits on top.<br /><br />(And yes, it endlessly amuses me how much the most non-violent person I know loves movies about punching things. And hitting evil-doers with pipe wrenches.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334013610288458384noreply@blogger.com
