Jacob Watson Reminds me of a few lines from The Dark Knight. Thug - You think you can just take our money and walk away? Joker - yeah. It went something like that. 😂
I agree with you a thousand percent it would have been better off just taking a tablecloth off the table and put a and a suitcase/// the men will probably still be alive// or maybe!!! One of the greatest movies of the 70s I hope they they can do a real nice part 2 and have Denzel Washington and all the other famous brothers right now 2020 actress and actors let's make it happen
NICE UPLOAD!!!...Saw this RAW GRITTY CLASSIC when it first premiered back in '72 at the age of 7 at The President Theater, Bronx ..GOOD Memories!!!....GREAT MOVIE!!!...BADASS SOUNDTRACK!!!

Here's where these robbers messed up; 1. They dressed up as cops, but fled the scene in a hurry making all kinds of noise like criminals 2. Taking a shot at an actual cop who had not drawn his gun and was likely coming to assist the robbers, thinking they were actual cops 3. Stealing a small fortune from the mafia and killing five of their members and the plans ending with getting away. If you steal from and kill members of an organized crime syndicate, especially one as large and powerful as the New York mafia, you'd better be packed up and have left town or be on your way out an hour after shit went south. While the mafia is hunting for the criminals in New York City, I'd be on a beach in San Francisco sipping a rum 'n coke while watching the waves crash onto the shore.
You would think so with a good plan but how many times have you heard criminals getting caught within a one-mile radius of where the crime was committed happens all the time tying up loose ends, classic movie
Showing a close-up of the barrel of the Smith & Wesson M-76 shows the blank device! it's an octagonal shaped device inserted in the barrel to enable the gun to fire the blanks at full auto. Most of the time the device is inserted deeper into the barrel so it's not so obvious.
Man!! Does this movie bring back memories of my 1970s childhood. A lot of the old 1970s' era blaxploitation movies were of the same questionable production quality. This movie was not for the squeamish and really wasn't written very well either. But 46 years later, it's an accurate picture of the mentality, if not the actual conditions, in early 1970s NYC. The high rate of violent crime, depressed economic conditions in Harlem (and other neighborhoods in NYC that weren't necessarily predominantly black) as middle-class people fled to the suburbs, the general malaise, etc. I never visited NYC until the late 1980s but by that time you could see the damage wrought on the city by almost 20 years of high crime.
I'm surprised you didn't think it was well-written. I thought the character writing was one of its strongest elements. There were great performances all around, but I particularly liked Paul Benjamin as Jim Harris. There was always something sympathetic about him though we see him commit numerous acts of violence and murder. You can understand why he would try something as dangerous as robbing the mafia when you hear his tearful rant in the middle of the film about how he has no prospects for a better future (given that he's a black, disabled ex-con).
A lot of the sound effects of guns used during the 70s were taken from Radio and Television sound libraries which were made during the 1950s and 60s. Ever notice how all war movies sounded alike during that time? or how all Westerns Sounded alike? Nowadays, with modern digital audio technology, everyone wants to record NEW gunfire and our sound effects are so much better. Movies like "Saving Private Ryan" and others all recorded new weapons noises of the actual guns, but with brand new digital audio equipment :)
You'd think with all that cash, they would buy some mechanical money counters instead of doing it by hand. More efficient and less likely for mistakes. And no armed guards?
Yeah, it's the Smith & Wesson M76, but not necessarily the exact same gun. Movie armories have multiple versions of each weapon to be rented out for various movie sets. The M76 was also in "The Omega Man" and "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" :D
This is kinda unrealistic. I don’t see two wops going into harlem and just walking out with a briefcase full of drug money. I would think that both the Blacks and Italians would meet at a neutral location that was away from both of their turf. Maybe im wrong I don’t know.
drchen054 the character "Doc" Johnson (the black crimelord in Harlem) explains later in the film that they never bother with guards since they do these transactions in random vacant apartments and thought they were safe.
You know my english is bad bt i gotta tell u diz is about social gap btw poor & rich & it gets to social corruption at the same time it doest who u are cuz in de movie gangs just like government try to control harlem by fear & small cash & much of police department like army try to protect them interests cuz they take also small profit from that And only neutral positive man in diz movie former army man who from worker class & some young fresh idealistic capitain who come for changing diz hood and also both of have moral points
Good call, but put the timing correctly to see the point you're making. 1:26 is where the money gets cleared from the table. As well, as easy as it was for the mob to throw the tablecloth over the whole mess of money, wouldn't it have been just as easy for the fake cops to do the same?
Next time, have the gangsters fill the suitcase with money...that way their hands will be busy and they can't reach for their guns...Also, gangsters, don't put your guns out of the way, and have someone covering the door on the outside to warn the cops were coming.
