I've never seen a cockfight and I want to. Even after seeing all the chickens die in this. Poor birds had to die for this piece of shit. At least it was filmed in interesting, rural locations. It's got a charm to it. Did everyone just suck back in the day? Why does everyone like this guy? "Oh wow. It's chicken guy! He doesn't talk and is an alcoholic gambling addict who sells all his shit just to keep killing birds. Golly. Everyone loves him!" This is just a series of chicken themed scenes stacked on top of each other. I like how he handles himself in some situations but it's all so awkward and hackey. Some fucking gigantic 19 year old farm boy biting your calf and you don't beat the shit out of him? He later comes at you with an axe, smashes your car window and all you do is dunk his face in water? What about the window? But you know, our guy is just so like ummm into chickens so he doesn't respond to people in real ways.
