I need help on a confusing scene


What does Tommy mean when he says “I’m gonna put you through the street”? Does he intend to get a construction crew out there, drill a big hole in the street and throw Rocky in it? If that’s what he intends to do then why doesn’t he follow through on that plan? It’s such a weird line.

I like that line. Some say they'll knock you into the next world, or off the planet, it's a street fight so Tommy thinks he'll put him through the street, like knock him through the concrete pavement underground or whatever.

Tommy could have won the fight if he stomped on the street like Dom did in Furious 7, claiming the street always wins. That would have put Rocky thru the concrete. You should have known this

That makes sense, but why didn’t he break the concrete?

It was an error in character by Tommy Gunn

Yeah Tommy didn’t seem like the sharpest tool in the shed to me. It would have been epic however if Tommy had actually tried to put Rocky through the street.
