Is the opening to Clockers the most powerful opening of all time?

Good breakdown

Spike is excellent at making strong openings and montages. He Got Game is another one.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Yeah I remember those opening credits like it was yesterday

 

[AJtheOne]

Such a dope opening song too

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Spike had a way with opening credits. This one and "Bamboozled" stuck with me

 

[SupaVillain]

Love this damn movie

 

[Mr Clean]

Looks something straight from the Wire. I wonder if they were inspired by this movie

Here's the author of Clockers speaking about it. He ended up becoming a writer on The Wire



Gotta give Spike his respect because the visuals are all him. Check out Spike on Charlie Rose its about 25m



The montage during the opening of the movie consists of recreations of real crime scene photos using actors

 

[Art Barr]

Great film rant

Dude who wrote the wire was a writer on this film as well. IIRC

Classic movie. I had never seen the opening till earlier this year. But that "Return of The Crooklyn Dodgers" set da tone too.
