When they got the money in Dead Presidents, why didn't they leave town?

[The Intergalactic Koala]

The whole plan was fukked up to begin with:

• Tate should had focus on the people in the room instead of bringing Bokeem into the mix
• Maybe David should had brought those "revolutionary nikkas" in the mix because they could had been the pawns that won't go back to Tate and them
• Chris Tucker should had been the driver, instead of the lookout
• The Rican dude did the most instead of enough

The plan was doomed on arrival for them to even try to leave because they weren't going to get far.

I don't even do drugs but that scene of him with blue eyes and a needle in his arm hit hard

The Al Green song playing in the background just did it for me

I swear The Hughes Brothers never get their due for what they did for not only black cinema but motion pictures as a whole. This type of flick should get the Criterion Collection treatment, but of course not. Heavens forbid we have a movie that has a full black range of characters, a powerful story, and some of the best scenery to justify film critics to discuss the elements of a black man struggling in a recession filled 70s after coming from a war being abandoned by his own fukking government.

As long as we know what it is..... fukk em.

Yeah like someone said, that soundtrack was perfect. I think it was AL b sure or someone who sang it on the record but it sounded great still

I loved that shyt,if you get life might as well go out with a bang. Homeboy was on bus like looking out window. His mom reaction to him throwing chair was funny too "Ahhh"

Chris Tucker said "Live by pu$$y die by pu$$y"

 

[Ziggiy]

They would have never got away with it because of Chris Tucker's junkie character.

Skip wouldn’t have snitched. Even as a junkie he was loyal

 

[Premeditated]

I think the dude Larenz Tate's character is based off of, ended up only doing a couple of years after good behavior

that ending scene at the court was sad and funny at the same time

 

[Offthegrid]

The ending was sad af even tho it wasa movie but a eerie reality for us black men wat learned from dat movie as a kid is if u gonna hit a lick do it on your own with no witnesses hypothetically

I wonder if that shyt was improvised because Martin Sheen was ducking for the fences .Laurenz blacked the fukk out during that whole movie

 

[Unknown Poster]

BTW, I always regarded Dead Presidents highly as a great period piece and an amazing follow up to Menace II Society.
Acting and cinematography is on point.

 

[OneManGang]

Great film. fukked me up as a youngin but to this day it’s fire
