Is 'Training Day' the Best Cop/Hood Film Ever? 

The movie is based on the Rampart scandal, and Alonzo is based on former LAPD officer Rafael Perez, aka Ray Lopez, who did worse stuff than Alonzo and barely faced any consequences for it. I think in total, he has served 3 years in prison.

Crazy they gave Denzel a Oscar for playing a corrupt cop but not for any of the legendary roles he played before this movie...

As somebody that grew up in LA. The cholos scene was one of the most terrifying scene I ever scene in a movie. More than any horror movie.

Scott Glenn sure is an underrated actor… That scene with him and Jake discussing the ‘smiles and cry’ was top notch acting !

As an old goat(og) gang member whose clique is always in these movies(opening scene, that video arcade) but never credited(ws18st/7BGS), Id like to put you on some game; it's very close to real. The restaurant scene, that ThePacificDiningCar(now closed), where judges, lawyers, and cops all get badass steaks and hella hard drinks. It's also directly across from the 'new' rampart station. The days of the ol' street bulls(cops) are over, because of video cameras. But if you knock a couple zeros off the ammts, there's some dark reality in this. It's filmed all thru the Westside until u get to the PJ's. Anyway, you on fire homie, keep up the reviews! Vatos Locos Forever!

Legit one of the best movies ever made. I rewatch it every now and again but NOTHING compares to the first time you watch Training Day. Always a blessing to see an upload from you, hermano! Stay up, my guy! 💯🙏🏻

Omg bro!!! The “gimme some chon chon” audio, followed by the knee to the head sound effect 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👏👏

This movie was casted perfectly.

The story and script for this movie are good, nothing too special but good. But man the performances from Ethan Hawke and Denzel Washington are legendary. Guys have that Magic/Kareem chemistry and it's a big credit to Ethan Hawke to not get swallowed up by Denzel, not too many actors can be a Denzel co-star and not get drowned out (I think Russel Crowe and Viola Daivs are others who held their own with Denzel). Great video bro!

You should collab with Primm’s Hood Cinema. You two are single handedly holding up the chon chon video clip economy

Do Man On Fire sometime-- technically not a "police" or "hood" movie, but most definitely adjacent, and a great flick in it's own right.

Jake knew where to draw the line and ultimately managed to do what Alonzo didn't: keep his soul.

Hahah, loved the Eazy-E "Real Muthaphuckkin G's" Left Blow reference. That song with BG Knocc Out and Dresta is that REAL shit! Just like your reviews, Old Barrio! Another good one, carnal!

Best cop movie for me has gotta be LA Confidential. Best hood movie is probably Boyz for me. But this is the best of this combination imo and the best modern cop movie imo. I do like Copland and American Gangster but man Training Day was just so huge when it came out

If you’re looking for another movie about a crooked cop and a rookie I recommend To Live And Die In L.A. it’s not a hood movie but it definitely feels like “Grand Theft Auto: The Movie.” Willem Dafoe is also a sick ass foo in this movie, a masterpiece of a performance

Barrio, you corrupted me to say "AAAAH COME ON FOO'" like Shia now

It's great and so tense that it's hard to watch sometimes. Denzel really feels evil and manipulative.

Actually just remembered another one-- Route 666 with Lou Diamond Phillips. It's low budget as hell, parts of it are stupid to the moon and back, but it's one of those films where the cast is everybody's childhood, the ideas are badass, and the tone/imagery is one of those throwbacks we'll likely never see again. Without spoiling too much, it's a jokey buddy cop action flick meets a supernatural horror flick, and the "monster" is this unjustly murdered old time chain gang that come back as ghost-zombie things, each with their own road crew implement turned weapon, who's spirits have literally FUSED with the cursed road, and they're all made up to LOOK like they're part of the road they were buried under. That's the main sell, but it also does (or at least attempts) some other stuff around the edges that's kind of interesting and you kind of wish they'd have really explored it more. Again, kinda dumb, has a lot of bad editing and some of the writing is stupid-- but a lot of the flick is fun and laid-back and pretty badass-- some of the comedy even manages to be intentional!

One thing that always bothered me, was rookie or not no way a cop would give his gun up. Who would?

Youre like the latino version of primmhoodcinema. You guys got a niche little genre of videos going on

I heard Lonzo’s character was based on Rafael Perez the crooked cop from the Rampart scandal.

I believe that it's all three of the best rolled up into one! This movie is a masterpiece! And Denzel is unbelievable.

I loved this movie as a kid. Ethan is a name I esteem because of this flick.

Your editor needs a raise

This film and Brooklyn's finest is up there 💯

Well with regards to how accurate it is, the CRASH team this is based on got into some wild shit. So it probably isn't too far off from real life.

This channel has the BEST edits lmao

Another golden video, the edits are hilarious. Man, youtube needs to put you in the algorithms to blow up soon

The part where Alonzo is covered by Hitler made me 😂😂🤣

I love these videos bro keep up the good work

5:11 that sound always gets me

The thumbnail is sickkk....😂

“Dat boi dead” 😂 you a boss! Best video yet

This a classic Not to mention that Alonzo broke almost every law possible just for him stop at a red light at the end and get the Reynosa Tamaulipas treatment Also one prayer for Cripple Snoop 🙏🔥🔥🔥♿

Like how you shouted out Easy E, vato

Answer to your question: Yes,yes,yes,yes,yes. Awesom movie. Perfect acting.

7:00 That's awesome. Shout out to E Z muthaphkin E.

10:14 love that historical humor 😂

Another awesome vid😂😂😂

Bro your shit be hilarious bro and the way u clown on these topics and i relate to the jokes u crack are so close to the way i cap on my boys i love it carnal keep up ur work💯

The craziest thing i remember about this film is being a young stoner and my buddys older brother was like did you realize that training day the entire film took place over one single day? And i shit my teenage pants lol 😆 ahhhhhh c'mon foooo

Lmao gotta love that left hook for eazy e line 🤣

“Iconic ass Denzel monologue” 10/10 Oracles. Also I love Colors ima have to watch your video (when you release it)

A great review as always, loved the little jokes you do like the “ boom “ but please do Dirty (2005) with Clifton Gonzalez and Cuba Gooding Jr, also Street kings would be a good one too!

7:08 got me dead 😂🙏🏽

Actually you mention Colors my dude? That shit is as real as real gets. That's a straight up police and gang movie to the absolute bone! Hard AF!

Damn bro when you brought up Raymond Cruz I immediately thought of From Dusk Till Dawn 2 but you should do all 3 of them bro! Love your videos as always ❤️ now gimme some chon chon!

The batmobile joke got me 😂😂😂

I don’t know I’m still debating weather this or “Colors” is the best barrio police film

When he punches dre and Eazy E starts playin haha and hren hecter and the scooby doo noise bro 😂 luv your vidoes

It was also based on a true story about a Former Marine turned officer turned kingpin in the streets of LA

I remember watching this movie my senior year with my football team mates in the theather and man we all went crazy in there watching this. It's the best of all 3.

“Black Mobile” 😂

My man lonzo really went out like valentine elizalde

I thought this WAS the best cop movie when it came and it was, BUT then "End of Watch" came out and in my personal opinion I think End of Watch was better. Training Day is still a very good movie though.

Another great video as usual. Thanks for putting these together. I think YOU are a candle homie! Go Raiders!!

Its probably not realistic today, but it seems based on the C.R.A.S.H units of the L.A. police department. Cant remember if the banditos where apart of that but i think there was more than one "gang" in the police.

In 2024 this movie looks like a future artefact that will be used to illustrate the final stage of the American Empire before its collapse in the 2040s.

you are killing it. keep this up

Dr dres unheralded performance may have Oscar worthy potential

Do they ever address the plot hole that is them supposedly raiding a house shooting Rodger cutting and digging a hole finding the money in the kitchen floor all before backup got there?

Do American Me next

Damn, you gotta do "Colors" next. Look at me, Pac-Man!

Another great review! Thanks!

7:58 I remember this guy played Pablo Escobar in Blow. I don't believe he is Latino but he sure plays Latino roles very often.

Another Old Barrio classic fr fr

Best Film reviews. Homie has wit when making a joke. Funny and describes the movie's essence while entertaining the viewer. A lot of laugh out loud moments

YES I've been waiting for this one 😊😊😊

Im literally subscribing just becuase you use the flapjack scream 😂😂

Man i been waiting for this video forever, this the best movie ever made fr

You got to do the warriors classic

Yes

That gta sound clip was funny lol🤣

Jake should've quoted ScarFace Rule #2 the 4th Crack ComMandMent to Alonzo.

Training Day aka if Colors had Noel Gugliemi

Love the videos brother!

I can’t with him dropping the Danny Phantom theme. It’s tripping me tf out. Haha

Look up Raphael Perez. The inspiration for both Alonso and Officer Tenpenny from GTA San Andreas

3:02 FOR REAL THO I'm quick asf on my draw behind the wheel, you just try pointing that thing like that lmao

keep it coming my g

Congressionals you past the test😅😅😂😂😂it always gets me

This video is so good, i might just have to give you some chon chon 😢

Great content thank you brother

Jake was right to tell Alonzo to leave his family out of it. Alonzo's advice to Jake was rich considering Alonzo brought all that up in the 1st place. It's dishonest to compare that to the scripted "slap".

that black gang leader is also trey in End of Watch

5:11 if you look deeper into the way hee holding his guns, in one hand he’s holding his gun upright like a police officer would. In the other hand he’s old oh it to the side like a dealer/ street dude would. I think it’s symbolic for the movie to show what kind of officer Lonzo is. To show that he’s an officer of the law but also he’s a crooked, street smart corrupt cop.

I love that you use a lot of silent Hill sounds in your videos that most people wouldn't catch unless they were fans

I bought a S & W 4506-1 because of this movie. I call it, "The Denzel".

Short answer. Yes.

“… They’re inside the crack house to steal the cash” 😂 bruh that is not a crack house.

You gotta review David Ayer's Street Kings. Rare asshole protagonist role from Keanu Reeves

These edits cracked me up

The real life person who was the inspiration for Denzel's character in this movie was also the inspiration for officer tenpenny on GTA San Andreas if I'm not mistaken...

Give me some chon chon! I love it. You have to do colors next. Ahh come on foo!

08:40 Open the noor!

Candle in the darkness. Great review. Best cop film ever is Colors. Cannot wait for you to review!

cant wait for colors

U gotta do a review on American History X🙏🙏

The famous denzel speech 10:11-10:15 😂😂😂

Please, please, please do not forget about Clockers and Juice!
