Anyone remember Diggstown (1992)?

James Woods, Lou Gossett, young Heather Graham. Me and my best friend saw in theater in 92 and were both just in awe. The twists, the turns, the boxing. It was all such great stuff and think it should get more credit then it gets as a Heist/con movie. Terrific performances, terrific screenplay, just loved it then and still love it now.

Anyone else love this gem?

This movie went down in history at the first theater I worked at for having only ONE person pay to see it in the 3 weeks we had it. That person left halfway through.

Re: Anyone remember Diggstown (1992)?

I think it was on constant rotation on cable and one of those movies I would think about taping if I had space on my VHS tapes


Looking back maybe James Woods was a mediocre actor since he does not get gigs anymore.

not at all. I was responding to trespoochies’ response about theater and person leaving. I was in shock and awe.

Re: Anyone remember Diggstown (1992)?

Not only do I remember it, I requested the Blu-ray release to review in 2015 because I enjoy it so much:

Re: Anyone remember Diggstown (1992)?

Those scenes, in my mind, are so memorable and standout for me. It’s not in my all time favs for nothing. I love a good heist/con movie and this one could have started it all. And pretty damn good twist at end. That’s got to be in that other thread...

Re: Anyone remember Diggstown (1992)?

Didn't read all of the comments but this was when James Woods was banging Heather Graham. Woods is known for having a big schlong and being a republican prick.


EDIT - Oh, and I've never seen it.

Re: Anyone remember Diggstown (1992)?

It's one of my favorites, but I don't watch it enough. I finally bought the br from Kino back in April but haven't watched it yet.

Might not be the exact line, but Honey Roy's 'get the next one up here' I say after any of my teams advance in the playoffs (so, not used a whole lot lately).

Re: Anyone remember Diggstown (1992)?

Was putting a movie back on the shelf and right next to it - Diggstown. Forgot I had that DVD. This thread and that occurrence must mean fate is telling me to watch it again.
