What u talking QT always dying

[@bondr750]

Many people neglect to recognize that spike lee introduced the world to many blockbuster actors in his early filmmaking. If you observe many of his films, you’ll see the same cast of individuals who are top list actors currently.

[@DreamTeamScout]

​@@notnyce Charlie Murphy also

[@ghariiscool]

Yessir. Good movie too

[@JussIce47]

And Giancarlo Esposito

[@JayBelafonte]

Classic Spike Lee movies always had a great cast

[@willyjakkz]

So much talent in this movie. Snipes Denzel Samuel L Giancarlo Bill Nunn Charlie Murphy John T etc! Spike Lee had an uncanny eye for talent!

[@JUSREEL1978]

Doug E. Doug in the bathroom

[@xbigwormx]

John Turturro even had a small part. Spike had an all star cast here

[@4lmightygee212]

The legendary actors in this film wow

[@msjones1979]

Cast of New Jack City with the cast of Malcolm X. 🔥

[@simoncharacter01]

🔥 wonderful if this why Wesley and Denzel havent workd together again

[@nuttybuddy14]

Dont forget school daze as well

[@OfficialBigD33]

And school daze lol

[@damediamonds8495]

Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, Giancarlo Esposito, Charlie Murphy, Samuel L Jackson, Bull Nunn, Spike Lee. Serious heavyweight actors in this movie. I was to young to understand it all when I first saw it. I was a teenager.

[@castolano]

Gian Carlo don’t get his respect!!! Phenomenal actor. I cried watching this at 11 lesson to learn watch the company you keep.

[@thomasbrown3356]

Nah, he's getting his flowers late in his career, like Morgan Freeman. It just took the mainstream long enough. He now has enough recognition to get top billing in a movie.

[@ricov1039]

Same! This scene really made me upset as a kid

[@castolano]

@@thomasbrown3356 Long is an understatement. His character in Fresh is right up there with Nino Brown and Scarface. That character is never talked about. When I seen him in "The Boys" I knew he had made it...

[@dc7236]

We love Gustavo!!!

[@47phredsmile]

Spike Lee, the man that had ALL the greats at the start of their careers in his movie's Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, Giencarlo Esposito, Samuel L. Jackson , Lawrence Fishburn, Tisha Cambell, Rosey Perez, Woody Harrelson, and so on.

[@nickatnite16]

This was not the start of Denzel's career,he was already an oscar winner and a huge star when he worked with Spike

[@47phredsmile]

@nickatnite16 No, he was not

[@47phredsmile]

Just kidding. Oscar winner. But Still not that big a star yet

[@slender4]

Spike Lee Chin is IRON.

[@scotttucker2835]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@rlstokey]

Spike Lee and Sam Pollard's use of cross cutting between the assault and performance is masterful. Top it off with the frenetic pace of the music, it makes the scene even more impactful. IMO, this film is one of Spike's most beautifully shot works.

[@Jayyreasons_]

1:51 We don’t believe in killing are brothers but this time you are definitely gonna be hurt 😂😂the moment giant heard that he knew his ass was grass

[@derrickbossie3015]

All the greatest black actors

[@adonalleniii9878]

I hated that Bleek had to take this L because of Giant. BUT, this was karma for Giant. From being a horrible manager, to the gambling and starting the mess between Bleek and Shadow in this scene. This was definitely on Giant.

[@johnwebb2442]

That's true.

[@Devtr3]

I agree to a certain extent. Everyone the whole movie was telling Bleek about Giant. Bleek never wanted to listen until it was too late. If Bleek wasn’t being stubborn and having Giant around as much as he did probably Bleek wouldn’t have gotten himself into this beat down which was kinda the final straw for Bleek that sent him into the depressive state he was in due to not being able to play anymore.

[@akingwithwords2144]

“Your alligator mouth finally got your humming bird @$$ whipped!” Now THAT’S a line! 😂

[@craigdavis5407]

[@themikecash]

Dadun daduuunnnnn psssss WAAAAAKE UP was also my favorite part

[@monqueawhite5782]

always makes me bust out laughing

[@caronandgful]

All the legends

[@ruff1draft]

I had always heard of this film but have never actually seen it. Great cinematography

[@ldaialoguedicaprio]

Damn. Sam L hitting Denzel in the face and messing up his embouchure permanently is the saddest part of this beatdown. 😢

[@bigtonebreakdown7817]

Man, Spike had all the heavy hitters in this joint; Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, Samuel L Jackson, Charlie Murphy (RIP), Giancarlo Esposito. Of course this was before they all became names in Hollywood.

[@HovaNirvana]

To be fair Denzel was already a name. He had done the NBC series “St. Elsewhere” from 1982-1988 and he won the Oscar for “Glory” the year this movie came out. Everybody else was still a rising star though.

[@slimpickens01]

John Turturro included too

[@nickatnite16]

What are you talking about,Denzel was already a leading man and Oscar winner. Snipes already proven himself with new jack city,thats why they were billed.

[@AriusBLK]

Esposito Samuel Jackson Bill Nun All of them got their breaks from Spike Lee. When none would hire them. Just the amount of heavy weight FBA talent here that shaped the entire Movie Industry for decade later !!

[@BobKnight-mm2ze]

Darkness!! Charlie Murphy! It's been a WHOLE lotta years, since I saw it when it came out. But I really forgot Giancarlo was in about 3, 4, or 5 of Spike's movies. And wow, that last overhead scene. Never realized how theatrical Spike shot his scenes (I don't mean overly dramatic, but how it would have played on a stage, and then a fade to black).

[@deerocker4113]

Damn they kicked his ass

[@dewayneduffy6032]

This is a classic classic classic

[@walihenry4600]

The Shadow came to Bleek’s aid after their altercation,still amazes me ,& I saw this when it came out 😳 one of Spike Lee’s best movies

[@sidvicious647]

They Beat the BREAKS offa Giant ! Damn ! SLJ aint got NO love 😂🤣🤣❗️❗️

[@cambreezythecolorman0716]

Three of my favorite actors Denzel Wesley Samuel did an great job

[@Themackofalltrades]

[@jonathancineus6424]

[@RexxGarvin]

The Greatest Underrated Movie Ever! Spike Did A Great Job On This One....

[@themikecash]

I like how my man Wesley was still concerned about Bleek

[@davidtolbert716]

YES, Them loan sharks was serious about their money!

[@johnwebb2442]

True.

[@KBdoubleE]

Shadow was a real friend, Giant had Bleek out fired up on Shadow. At the end, Shadow was there for Bleek

[@aaroniic]

Wouldn’t say he was a real friend. Just wouldn’t wish death on Bleek. Admittedly, Bleek was fcking up though.

[@Reprodestruxion]

Shadow sold out giant

[@Blaqsnake]

Everywhere you look in this film there was a legend. Mo Betta indeed🫡

[@mdpo6419]

3:45 good old Charlie Murphy

[@tehf00n]

I remember seeing this scene when I was young. I played guitar and I thought I hope that never happens to me. Cut to a decade later, Im in jiujitsu class, long story short, something goes wrong and now I cant play guitar again. It's soul crushing.

[@Isekaiser]

Spike is one of the greatest at placing you in a movie. The atmosphere can be felt through the sounds and visuals .

[@Bremblin]

The cast was loaded.

[@terencehardeman8916]

I love the part at 5:28 when they was walking away like nothing happened

[@yshuff7603]

INTENSE SCENES HERE! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MOVIE 4EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎼

[@RighteousFollwer]

This one of spike lees most underrated movies

[@MJMoneyline]

Literally a DOZEN HEAVY HITTERS IN THIS MOVIE!

[@haroldbrooks4235]

Spike is very loyal to his cast mates. Everyone here played in a Spike Lee Joint

[@apx476]

To those unaware. Yes, spike lee put all these actors on in some of their 1st big roles. Classic

[@kenyontucker6469]

Spike Lee's directing style can be so chaotic I would like to see what he could do with an action movie.

[@ronaldblack-zb4yn]

I watched this movie so many times. Love it!

[@gregoryyarbrough7765]

CLASSIC HOUSE SPIKE LEE'S VOICES IN THE BACKGROUND STEADY SAY YOU'RE FIRED DAMN SPIKE LEE WAS A GOOD ACTOR MAN / DIRECTOR/ PRODUCER

[@royaldavis640]

Yeah who ever was in the band and didn’t help would have had to see me

[@conroysmith2581]

2:40....dude over here beating up their boss is rare.......🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SDSOverfiend]

I can’t watch this scene the same knowing that Wesley is Blade and Samuel L is Nick Fury. Seeing Wesley knowing he would’ve worked both of them makes me feel a way now 😂

[@simeontong33]

Damn what a cast

[@KTLR-333]

Bill Nunn is a underrated black all star dude was in so many classic movies

[@s.joynerii7312]

Great cast! Great movie!

[@SpaceGhost-wx9sw]

Wow I've been wrong all these years Samuel L. Jackson & Denzel were in a movie together. I need them to do another with both playing the leads

[@madmindustries]

They did Jungle Fever also

[@SpaceGhost-wx9sw]

@madmindustries Denzel wasn't in Jungle Fever however Wesley Snipes was

[@madmindustries]

@@SpaceGhost-wx9sw Your right my bad

[@DavidRichardson95]

You will never see this type of _black_ star power on this level ever again.

[@TheStranger513]

Possibly my favorite title of a movie. Mo Betta Blues.

[@RANDOMZ161]

Denzel got tossed around like a slinky 😂

[@nbagoats4819]

What I learned from this? Never fight a man with a trumpet in his hands.

[@xbigwormx]

Lesson 2: Don't fuk with loan sharks.

[@jefeking2117]

Damn snipes, Washington, nd Jackson in one movie!!! I have too watch this Murphy, Harris, spike Lee the fool!

[@360Warlock]

Fact that shadow came back to help him after he fired him .... true friend

[@EmmanuelStokes]

“Aw he ain’t dead he’ll be alright” 😂😂

[@Omarxh3]

Never seen this movie I need to see this. All these celebrities in one movie that I’ve never heard a soul talk about I need to see it

[@kidspectro23]

In retrospect, Bleek should’ve gotten rid of Giant as his manager, and listened to atleast Clarke if not Shadow with their opinions regarding his business dealings.

[@johnwebb2442]

True.

[@RedForeman]

0:55 ain’t that the dude from new jack city lol the one with the stutter ?
