Interesting he doesn't think Dead Presidents is one of his best moments.

I went back and watched Menace a few days ago. I do think Menace flows better as a movie.

Dead Presidents sort of, in a way, becomes like three different movies. It's very much aligned with The Deer Hunter in that regard.

It's almost like where Menace lacked some in detail, Dead Presidents almost had too much detail and dragged some.

Looking back at the Hughes brothers career, they’ve had a weird career

They’ve had one movie that was larger than life and that was it

I haven’t watched From Hell in years but I remember that movie being boring as hell

I knew these dudes had squabbles :pachaha:

Albert said when they were younger, he would throw VCRs at Allen because Allen was body slam him and he was heavier :russ:

Bout to do a quick re-watch of all their movies and see how i rank each of them

damn shame The Hughes Brothers only got a handful of movies together

Menace II Society, Dead Presidents, American Pimp, From Hell and The Book of Eli.
