| Bad Day at Black Rock | comment |
A classic 1955 thriller (with some Film Noir and New Old West elements) directed by John Sturges and starring Spencer Tracy, Robert Ryan, Anne Francis, Walter Brennan, Ernest Borgnine, and Lee Marvin. It's based on Howard Breslin's short story "Bad Time at Honda".From the time one-armed veteran John J. Macreedy (Tracy) steps off the train in Black Rock, he feels a chill from the local residents. The town is only a speck on the map and few if any strangers ever come to the place. Macreedy himself is tight-lipped about the purpose of his trip and he finds that the hotel refuses him a room, the local garage refuses to rent him a car and the sheriff is a useless drunkard. It's apparent that the locals have something to hide but when he finally tells them that he is there to speak to a Japanese-American farmer named Komoko, he touches a nerve so sensitive that he will spend the next 24 hours fighting for his life.Not to be confused with The A-Team episode "Black Day at Bad Rock". | |

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy | |
| Bad Day at Black Rock / int_30d2ae29 | comment |
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: The entire conflict of the movie could have been avoided if not for the town residents' paranoia. Macreedy had nothing to do with anything, he simply wanted to give his friend's father his medal. All Reno and his crew had to do was be polite and tell Macreedy that Komoko passed away several years ago, and his house burnt down in a brushfire some time later, and no one really goes to Adobe Flats which is why his grave marker never got replaced, or say that Komoko moved and didn't keep in touch about where he was going. Macreedy would have been disappointed but none the wiser and taken the next train to LA. By acting like crazy people for no obvious reason and attempting to drive him off, they clued Macreedy in that something was wrong. | |

| Bad Day at Black Rock / int_3dc6aa5b | comment |
New Old West: The film is set in a Western "cowboy" town that, for all its isolation, has by the 1940s managed to acquire such modern technologies as rental cars, telephones and streamlined trains. The pseudo-drifter protagonist served in World War II, and the anti-Japanese racism of the era is an important theme. | |

Reality Is Unrealistic: When Spencer Tracy saw the rushes, he thought the fight was preposterous. He didn't believe his character could disable his enemy that quickly and easily until John Sturges showed the footage to a Marine instructor who not only confirmed the effectiveness of the karate method but told Tracy the blow as executed would have killed his opponent in real life. | |

What You Are in the Dark | |
| Bad Day at Black Rock / int_afc6df04 | comment |
What You Are in the Dark: Isolated from the law and civilization, the town of Black Rock can ignore the manslaughter of Komoko. It’s partly why they’re all terrified of Macreedy: many of them can’t admit to themselves they did something wrong, much less to the authorities. The Doc also notes it’s why Reno’s team choose to kill Macreedy at night. Committing the deed in broad daylight would make it too real for themselves. | |

Obvious Stunt Double | |
| Bad Day at Black Rock / int_c8c00dc9 | comment |
Obvious Stunt Double: John Sturges admitted Spencer Tracy’s double during the fight looks nothing like him but says that’s not important - "You stage and cut the scene so that you’re always looking at the other fellow". Tracy wouldn’t take part in fight scenes because he would get too carried away and had knocked teeth out before. | |

As Long as It Sounds Foreign: "Komoko" is not an actual Japanese name. And if it was, it would be a female name.note Though incidentally, it IS the Japanese name for Lake Como in Italy. | |

Last-Second Word Swap | |
| Bad Day at Black Rock / int_f165cf2c | comment |
Last-Second Word Swap: When Macreedy mentions Komoko to the sheriff, the sheriff is startled enough he knocks something over on his desk. When Macreedy is able to catch it before it falls over, the sheriff says, "You move pretty fast for a crimp-", until he notices Macreedy's missing arm, and he changes it to "-for a big man." | |
