Official The Harder They Fall Thread

[nieman]

Yo, am I bugging but did anyone peep the symbolism. "Nat" Nat Turner "Buck" Black Buck or am I reaching?

Those were their real names. Rufus Buck, Nat Love, Cherokee Bill (he was part Cherokee), Stagecoach Mary, Treacherous Trudy Smith, Bass Reeves (REAL Lone Ranger)

It was good...very entertaining, but not a classic. They could've benefited by not going over-the-top with the blood, or giving it the dusty retro feel.

Also, with the plot, since it is fictionalized, I would've loved it had they all been in together on some "Stick it to the white man" ish. And whatever happened to the Bass Reeves major we were supposed to get?

How does it compare against the GOAT Tombstone?

Ehhh...It's more Magnificent Seven remake, than Tombstone. It's somewhere between that and underrated Cherokee Kid (HBO - with Sinbad). The good thing is that it's nowhere near Posse. But I'm definitely not gonna list it among the best Westerns.

Interesting take...will check it out....but I got cheese factor from the trailer and I'm a western fan

Absolutely loved this movie. Been waiting for this for a while. I just wish they would have used some of the same actors from They Die By Dawn. Imagine if Erykah Badu reprised her role as Stagecoach Mary! Obviously doesn't have the acting chops of Zazie but she killed that role in the short version of this.

Great movie, superb acting, dope music.

The only complaint I have is

Spoiler: MOVIE SPOILER

the scene where Cuffee kills Cherokee Bill was very underwhelming, should have been longer and more detailed. Both characters, Cherokee Bill and Cuffee deserved it.

Started it too late last night so I got a hour to go, but it was pretty good so far. I just got into newer type westerns just a few yrs ago. Used to watch old ones with my granny growing up. If she were alive today she'd love this from what I've seen so far.

I kept thinking about Badu whenever she was on the screen.

It's definitely campy. I like the campy-modern Westerns too, but I love the gritty ones more. Even Django was gritty...until the end.

This is amazing

I really liked this.

-going to start with a minor gripe...Zazie wasn't all that good in this to me. but she wasn't bad either.
-i liked pretty much everything else
-I like that Cherokee Bill kind of portrayed himself one way, but really he was just the type of dude to shoot you in the back
-I like how Bass Reeves basically took no Ls, and he pretty much told Nat "yeah i brought in Rufus by myself "
-Trudy being damn near the equal or better to Rufus was a good touch in setting up a sequel.
-Wiley Escoe died on some comedic shyt
-i don't know why but it was funny to me when Rufus was like "YOU A BUCK " at the end talking to Nat.

Ok I finished this off last night and it’s definitely not a classic. Still a good movie I just didn’t like the campy action at the end, dudes just walking down Main Street blind shooting nikkas in windows but not getting hit at all. I also didn’t like how the quick draw plot resolved itself. Was so disappointed with that, like that’s how Jimmy going out??

I didn’t know Jeymes produced the soundtrack. No wonder it was music blaring every 5 minutes in this.

I did enjoy the twist and I almost think if they do a sequel...

Spoiler

Trudy could be a Buck too right? I mean they never directly show her and Rufus being romantically or sexually engaged. I’m thinking they would have put more dialogue in to suggest to ppl putting it together later, that she knows Nat is her brother when he shows up...so I could be wrong.

 

[Big Boss]

This was so good. We need more Black Westerns. That Chadwick Boseman tribute was subtle but beautiful


Also the soundtrack is FIRE

Facts hope we get a sequel

 

[Dillah810]

This movie is pretty good. Did not expect the twist at the end. Jim and
Cherokee Bill's interactions were hilarious

 

[calh45]

Very good movie right here. I'm 100% in for the sequel.

These were the best roles Zazie Beetz and Deon Cole ever had

Deon Cole acted his ass off. Him, Jim, and Cherokee Bill were the highlights to me.

Am I the only one that felt like the music was trying too hard?

I was impressed with Deon Cole. He has a distinct voice and cadence, so I was surprised to see him switch his voice up to fit the role.

When I saw his name on the opening credits I expected him to play a comic relief role. It's cool to see that he has some range.
