DC's Legends Of Tomorrow Season 1: 6 Ups And 6 Downs From 'The Magnificent Eight

4. Slugfest

Legends of Tomorrow Mick Rory Old West
The CW

What’s a Western without a good ol’ barroom slugfest?

For anyone who’s ever seen even only one Western, you’ll know that an old fashioned brawl is a must. And The Magnificent Eight certainly delivered on that front right from the get-go.

Like so many an Old West fight, it all began with a sore loser kicking off after losing a game of cards. From there, fists were flying, Captain Cold was exercising his trigger finger, tables were smashed, bottles were thrown, music played, and Mick Rory was out cold at the bar after one too many spirits.

If you’re going to do a Western-set episode of a show, a scene like this is a must, and Legends of Tomorrow delivered a brilliantly camp, cliched barroom brawl for the ages.
