Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie Gabe and Roy are sitting in the bleachers and Roy is wiping his forehead with a towel as Gabe starts talking to him. The camera zooms in and Roy now has his arms folded on top of the towel with his legs crossed.
Diggstown (1992)
Directed by: Michael Ritchie
Starring: James Woods, Bruce Dern, Oliver Platt, Louis Gossett Jr.
Factual error: When Fitz and the Diggstown boys are playing 5 card stud poker, the cards are supposed to remain on the table. However, Corny has his cards in his hands, like they're playing 5 card draw poker.
Gabriel Caine: Roy... what you did tonight... couldn't be done.
Honey Roy Palmer: Now you motivate me.
Gabriel Caine: He's bigger than you are. He's tougher. He's faster. He's younger thant you are. He hasn't fought 22 rounds today, but remember this... you are black.
Honey Roy Palmer: What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Gabriel Caine: I don't know. I mean it's... I'm trying to inspire you. It's a Roots kinda thing. It's a motivation thing.
Honey Roy Palmer: Well, you're shit at motivation.
Gabriel Caine: Do you know the difference between a hustler and a good con-man?
Fitz: No.
Gabriel Caine: A hustler has to get out of town as quick as he can, but a good con-man - he doesn't have to leave until he wants to.
Question: In the locker room before the fights begin, Gillon uses the phrase, "blind as Tidwell's goat." What is the reference here? I've looked online and can't find anything about it.

Answer: Maybe it's just a local reference known only to the local residents of Diggstown. Then again, I can't find any info on the town of Diggstown either.
Diggstown, GA is a fictional town.
