- Children from Irish villages engage in mischievous battles using humiliating tactics like cutting off buttons and underwear. They sometimes engage in nude conflicts leading to embarrassing encounters.
- The children of Ballydowse and Carrickdowse engage in battles in which they cut off the buttons, shoelaces, and underwear of their captured opponents, in order to get the boys in trouble with their parents. They go to battle in mass groups of dozens, throwing stones and cutting off their opponents' buttons, etc.; sometimes they go to battle completely naked and exposed. In one such scene, about 30 boys return from a battle to celebrate victory at a barn-house only to find some girls waiting for them, and they get very embarrassed at losing their privacy.—yusufpiskin
- The children of Ballydowse and Carrickdowse engage in battles in which they cut off the buttons, shoelaces, belts, and braces of their captured opponents. This gets their opponents in trouble with their parents. They go to battle in mass groups of dozens, wielding sticks and slingshots. It's a battle of strategic skills for the opposing leaders, including one scene in which the principal gang uses an ancient war trick to overcome their opponents with successful--and itchy--results.—Kendall Blake <bluebird90@hotmail.com>/Mick DeLeon
- Rival gangs of young Irish kids enjoin in constantly escalating battles that ultimately entails the removal of the buttons from the clothes of captured losers. While the shenanigans cause obvious problems, the two leaders of the groups nonetheless develop a grudging admiration of each other.—John Sacksteder <jsackste@bellsouth.net>
