Can we talk about how Scotty Appleton got Pookie killed?

[FeverPitch2]

she blew an opp's head off. this dude is family

IIRC, that was her cousin

 

[Rell84shots]

Wesley Snipes is the saving grace cause that movie aged like milk


god is it so corny now.

fukk you and anyone that agrees with that bullshyt post.

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

How about when Scotty applies pressure on that kid in front of the house where Nino was staying? talking about he got lookouts and people on the roof but none of em could see what was going down below?

Yeah man, he upstairs with his b-itch, probably not even using protection. I hope you kill his black hearted asssss

 

[avon barksdale]

Facts..




And i though this thread was going to be another 'Did G-Money make the free throw'

Yeah he made it...he fake his death and went to Bel-Air

 

[Ol’Otis]

Bullshyt ass anti drug flick

 

[Krisrunner2049]

My fav scene.

As a young dark skinned breh I was


Up until that point in the late 80’s going into the 90’s lighskinned brehs were on a helluva streak. If you was a midnight boy it was very hard to get any play


When Wesley stabbed ol boy I was

fukk you. We in the light skinned pretty boi delegation still winning

 

[Luxury Tax]

Nino Brown was color struck. He didnt like light skinned nikkas and that led to the demise of CMB. So many examples throughout the movie.

G-Money didnt put Pookie in position... Nino did. All that hanging out with Appleton and blaming G-Money because Appleton turned out to be a cop.

Nino was a horrible leader!

Movie unrealistically portrayed criminals as low key retards and narcotics cops as good guys

Fun film but you can't think to much about it

Has there been a hood "good guy/bad guy" flick that did not look wild stupid in a realistic approach

 

[Cladyclad]

That whole task force should be fired. U don’t put a addict in the disney world of drugs. If Pookie had family they gon be paid

 

[FeverPitch2]

Most Black actors up until the mid 90's were from bougie backgrounds and often ran with a bunch of cacs.
Cac directors think all Black folks are from the ghetto and usually hire the bougie Black actors who overdo it for hood roles.
Because they didn't know shyt about Black folks and have no respect for us as humans, cac directors weren't looking for subtlety, nor did they really know the difference.
So that's why most Black movies up until the 90's had really c00nish performances from Black actors.
Vanessa Williams' performance as Keisha under the direction of bougie ass Mario Van Peebles is a prime example.

Robert Townsend spoofed all of this shyt in Hollywood Shuffle. The whole movie was based on real shyt.





We think of Laurence Fishburne as a dignified breh now, but before the rise of black directors, he played a bunch of c00n roles
Fish is in the fedora and pink glasses:

So because of the Hayes Code many films felt like they "had to" make it so the bad guys are always punished for their actions at the end and the cops are shown in a good light

King of New York toes the line by making most of the cops "dirty" (ironically including Wesley) and the criminals "charitable" but eventually let's the cops win

Heat does a decent job making De Niro a more sympathetic character than Pacino but again does some bullshyt to make the cops win in the end.

Yes, both of these movies have white leads as the criminals.

I would say The Wire shows the police to be no better than the crims, like I'd rather work for @avon barksdale than BPD

 

[b. woods]

They had to place him in quick bc if too much time passed = red flags

Scotty (the white boy) moved like a ex-fiend too

they were not regular street cops, both of them were known for renegade tactics and on thin ice

the worst actor in this imo was Mario Van Peebles, always trying to shut down the operations

Also a big problem was how close Ice-T got to Nino. I don’t care how much you buy you not coming to parties and eating grapes and shyt

I also like to think that this was the origin story for Finn Tutuola who transferred to SVU from narcotics

Ice-T was Scotty Appleton.

The white boy was Nick Peretti.

Why did they let him keep his clothes on in the Carter?

Because The Carter is located in HARLEM.

Nino may have peddle that family shyt when it was convenient, but he didn’t care about any of them (Maybe G-Money and the Duh-Duh Man a lil). Niqqa did not give a fukk about his main or her brother, bodied his day-1,fukk G-Money’s girl prior to and after G-Money’s death, used a lil girl as a shield, set a lil homie on a fire for coming up short, and then blame the whole operation on Christopher Williams .

Yep.

Yeah something about having a former crackhead go undercover in a crack factory didn't seem like the most brilliant of ideas

Like putting a freshly-paroled pedo in charge of a boy scout troop

Inevitably, both will give in to their urges.

It was G-Money's decision to put Pookie in a room full of crack and bare titties.

The task force were hoping that Pookie would get promoted from lookout to the Computer Room so he could take important files/documents from there and report back to them with it.

Gee decided to put a recovering crack addict fresh outta rehab in the room where the SAME DRUGS Pookie was addicted to ARE MADE.

No wonder Nino sonned him for his incompetence.

And at Kareem's reaction when Gee tried to blame HIM for Pookie infiltrating

Nino:

Gee: Kareem was the one who brought him to my attention.

Kareem:

 

[Goat poster]

Nino taking over the apartment building while killing so many people that lived there always struck me as ridiculous

 

[JT-Money]

Scotty was a dumbass. And stayed doing dumb shyt.
