here’s a interesting fact! The actor that played Sonny Carson, was the cop that arrested Bishop, Steel, and Q at the Mix Massacre in the 1992 movie Juice! He was also the sleazy property developer in the 1985 movie Rappin!
And his girlfriend on this movie is Shug Avery from Color Purple and also the lightskin guy from the tomahawks is the guy from the Warrior's that got shot at the rally when they blamed it on the warriors.
@@shaheedcoleman6146 your right about the light skin guy. His name was Roger Hill, Cyrus the leader of The Riffs! R.I.P. but you are wrong about the girlfriend being in the color purple. Margaret Avery wasn’t in this movie. But the girl does favor her
@@lenortucker5146 why bother replying to a comment ON A SCENE of a movie on fuckin RU-vid then? What does your comment even matter to anybody? That jam actually was smooth.
TripleRp The setting for this movie is realistically in the late 50's when our elder Sonny Carson was rolling heavy with THE BISHOPS (not the Lords). He was the older group of "jitterbugs" that my uncle's crew came up under in Brooklyn. My uncle started banging around '63.
TripleRp There was a gang called the Lords. I'm not sure if they were around during the late 50's to the late 60's tho. Remember that youth gangs were short lived back then in the boroughs. The largest gang in Brooklyn at that time were the Chaplains. They even had divisions in Queens.
Yup,a lot of stations looked like that back then,just mad dark before fluorescent lights. I remember 168th Street on the mezzanine for the A/C line being that dark (back then,it was home to the A,AA,B and CC, and you took the elevator down for the 1)
Acting was REALISTIC in THIS movie. As you see, the real "them" comes out a lot in here.. have you seen other high budget trash movies from this time period? You're really uneducated in your movies by judging a whole era of movies by this one single movie.
U know u can really get lost in this movie one min they in a school looking like they failed about 12 times beefing, then they on a train giving serious rape vibes, next they in some random as parade in the street, then whole gang fight breaks out, etc..........dont watch this high will leave u asking "wtf did I just watch" 😂😂😂
BoomBoomMcG1 Y'all are too funny! Ed Koch in a movie about Abubadika Sonny Carson! Ha! No, it wasn't Koch. He would've been in Congress back then. I do remember those trains; they were on the A and C lines.
KSmall109CAB that was Grampa Al Lewis from the Munsters. He was mistaken for former NYC Mayor Ed Koch a lot on the streets to the point he moved either down south or our West.
I remember Al Lewis! He was a Green Party candidate for a number of political offices here in New York State. He had a radio program on WBAI-FM in New York City. This movie makes me think about others in the cast. Rony Clanton went on to appear in several movies and on a number of TV shows. He had a rather forgettable part in the infamous "Fort Apache, The Bronx," which did to the modern Bronx what "Birth of Nation" did to Black people at the turn of the 20th century. The woman who played Virginia was featured in some movies later as well. I remember her in a 1990s movie that featured Mekhi Phifer and Camron.
jomjong I agree with you those were the days when black people gravitated towards love for each other and had a deep understanding and appreciation for love based and brotherly music now everything is all fucked up
