The Overlooked Genius of Training Day

[eastsideTT]

i still laugh just thinking about the scene when Lonzo serves Macy Gray with the chinese menu warrent and takes the cash from her bedroom, only to use it to purchase a REAL warrant to be used for juxing his drug dealer friend. the level of planning that went into the whole day was unreal. lonzo almost won too. the coincidence of Jake witnessing that rape in the alley and stopping it is what fukked up the whole thing. Lonzo didnt even want to stop the car then, either. if he only knew

@ alonso when jake kicks catches up to him at the girls crib. fresh outta eva mendes p*ssy Lonzo's like "congrats officer hoyt, you passed the test! " RIP alonso a true bullshyt artist and slimeball till the bitter end

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Terry Crews cameo was comedy loool

Rewatching again on Netlfix

Stealing money from corrupt drug dealers....shyt if ain't nobody see it, no problem with it



Hoyt was too straight laced for this type of work

 

[Booker T Garvey]

I respect this theory, I don't agree with it 100% though

the one thing I took away from it is that nothing is what it appears to be from the outside

 

[Marti]

I was 10 when this movie came out and I saw right through it

Denzel’s role was written for a racist cac

 

[raidersreceiver]

My favorite movie

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

Terry Crews cameo was comedy loool

Pre comedy Terry crews. He was originally type cast as the random swole nikka until he broke the mold in white girls

 

[Lootha VanDraws]

That's because Don Cheadle came through and made Denzel a side character in his own movie.

One of the few movies in my opinion that was as good as the book it was sourced from. "Easy, you need me to run these streets with you again, let me know, you know how to put some money in a nikka's pocket !! " (We need a Cheadle smiley).

Jake should have got popped.

 

[Asicz]

White viewers walked away from this film being more sympathetic to police brutality

 

[Bugsmoran]

Movie was like part 2 of Colors

Movie was like part 2 of Colors

I always felt like Brooklyn's Finest could've been like a sequel to Training Day. With Hoyt moving to New York and turning dirty.

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

The chess checkers line saved me legally

 

[Geek Nasty]

Yeah i think every body got that

I didn’t get the Trianing the audience aspect. That’s genius The problem with Colors was they made Sean Penn the good guy and the audience would excuse his fukked up behavior.

The thing you can’t appreciate rewatching is how Lonzo gets more and more wild with his behavior. I think it was the scene with the bums when he looked like he was about to blast both of them that had me like
