Frankie tells Maggie they're going to England for the British title fight. Maggie tells Mickey she'll never leave Frankie.
#Million dollar baby movie series#
Frankie bumps her up a weight class, and Maggie gets her nose broken in the victory.Īfter Frankie turns down a series of title fight offers, Scrap secretly sets up an "accidental" meeting between Maggie and Mickey Mack, the manager who nabbed Big Willie. Pretty soon, nobody will fight her because she's so awesome. Maggie knocks every opponent out in the first round. Sally's no good, though, and Maggie and Frankie are quickly reunited. When she makes the mistake of asking Frankie about his family, he pawns her off on another manager, Sally. Still, he's cautious-Scrap would say too cautious-about putting Maggie in an actual fight. Maggie trains with Frankie for several months and her skills improve greatly. He also pens letters to his estranged daughter Katy, which always return unopened. When he's not working with Maggie, he attends mass everyday, seemingly just to antagonize his priest. Maggie keeps practicing at the Hit Pit anyway, and when Frankie's best fighter, Big Willie Little, jumps ship for another less cautious manager, Frankie agrees to train Maggie. When Maggie Fitzgerald (Swank), a waitress and would-be fighter, originally from small-town Missouri, asks Frankie to train her, he says he doesn't train girls. Scrap also narrates the film (because everything is better with Morgan Freeman narrating). He owns Los Angeles's Hit Pit gym, which is looked after by his best friend, former fighter Eddie "Scrap Iron" Dupris (Freeman). Frankie Dunn (Eastwood) may be getting on in years, but he's still the best cut man in boxing.
