* TheCameo: Creator/CharlieChaplin! In 1914 Chaplin was the big new star at Creator/KeystoneStudios, where Arbuckle worked. In this film he has a small part as the referee in the fight between Pug and Cyclone Flynn. He gets in some pretty good comic business in his brief appearance, including a gag where he takes a punch and then counts himself out. This is one of just a few film appearances in Chaplin's career where he wasn't the star.
* CelebrityParadox: After chaos breaks out at the fight and the crowd runs out, a poster for the Keystone production ''Caught in a Cabaret'' is visible. Several of the actors in this film, including Chaplin and Minta Durfee (Pug's girl) also starred in that film.

* BottomlessMagazines: Technically averted, as Fatty does run out of bullets, allowing the cops to lasso him. But before he runs out he fires at least 30 shots from each of his revolvers.

''The Knockout'' is a 1914 {{Slapstick}} {{Farce}} starring Creator/FattyArbuckle and directed by Mack Sennett. Fatty stars as Pug, a big guy with a pretty girlfriend. Pug sees some ruffians making unwelcome advances on his girlfriend and fights them off. This gets him volunteered for a boxing match against professional "Cyclone" Flynn, who is taking on all comers. Two hobos who rode in on the train have an idea to impersonate Cyclone Flynn and score some easy money. They propose to split the purse with Pug if he lies down. But then the real Cyclone Flynn shows up and poor Pug finds himself fighting a professional boxer. Pug is getting the worst of it in the fight, until he steals a pair of guns from a spectator and turns the tables on Cyclone Flynn, going on a long, silly chase that forms the climax of the movie.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Pug has gone off to change into his boxing trunks. He's about to take his pants off when he looks straight into the camera. Embarrassed, he motions for the camera to pan up, which it does, shooting him from the chest up until he's done putting on his trunks.
