Definitely here to apologize for the bright lights making our ghostly asses even whiter, and for the off sound but it is what it is. It was still a great movie detailing what these men went through during and after the war. I hope you guys still enjoy watching it with us and we appreciate you guys picking this one. Larenz should’ve gotten an award for this one. 👌🏻

[@77Creation]

All to the good. Bright White is alright and outta sight. 🪮✊🏽 Dead Presidents isn’t perfect but it’s highly underrated. Y’all’s reaction was a blast. 👌🏽 “…yeah, get up in that earwax.” 😂 Wanna recommend Angel Heart. May not get a ton of mentions but if y’all haven’t seen it will be worth your while. 🔥

[@HabitualCinema]

@@77Creation For sure underrated! Thank you 🫶🏻

I do lighting in Hollywood for a living, but I never wanted to criticize you because i know you’re not experienced in lighting and you’re doing the best u can. And I like the reactions regardless . But if u want suggestions I’m willing to help

[@HabitualCinema]

@@travisbickle1552 😂 yeah my bad. They never seem that bright until I watch the video back (once it’s too late).

You have to watch Colors 1988 if you watched Boyz in the hood and Menace to society. Colors is what started it all

“They want him to be the getaway driver? He better have his leg strapped on nice and tight” 😂😂

Larenz was born in Chicago and raised in California. He went to a performing arts school with Malcolm Jamal Warner.

Glad you watched this. Larenz Tate should have been a big star with this, The Inkwell and Love Jones. Martin Sheen, who plays the judge, is uncredited. The robbery scene was shot in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. A good amount of those buildings were torn down to make room for luxury apartments.

Don’t forgot menace to society

[@ereka333]

This is one of my favorite movies for a few reasons. Mostly Larenz Tate, Keith David, and the fact that this movie has EVERYTHING. It’s an action drama heist war movie lol. Also I think Terrance Howard’s first “movie” was the Jackson 5 biopic (The Jacksons An American Dream- 1992) I say “movie” because it has two episodes and is called a miniseries technically but it’s like 5 hours total. He played Michael’s older brother Jackie.

[@rashadwalker8218]

You're right it was!

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

@@rashadwalker8218He also appeared on The Cosby Show & Family Matters.

[@WilliamBaker-vk7oi]

If this was a real heist they should have got out of town immediately and not stuck around to get caught

[@reneedennis2011]

Yup.

[@rashadwalker8218]

Anthony needed therapy and support group that was positive in his life. Kirby unfortunately was all he knew but he wasnt the best influence for anthony

[@misstexas651]

Jackie Brown is a good Quinten Tarentino film w/ young Chris tucker as well. Samuel Jackson, and Robert De Niro, Bridget Fonda , and Robert forester too

[@kennycooper294]

my favorite Tarentino movie

[@shoryuken3305]

I LOVEEEE this movie, I was one of the people that suggested it! Cliffton powell is so good in this too it has to be said every scene he was in he stole it, such a great film. of course Larenz tate was incredible and got no award nods for this, sad.

[@HabitualCinema]

I love me some Larenz but I’ve had a soft spot for Clifton ever since Ray. He’s such a versatile and underrated actor imo

[@dsgcamo]

My uncle was in Vietnam and he told me unfortunately this is what the Vietnamese would do. They would cut it off and put it in your own mouth if they caught you.

[@HabitualCinema]

😬

[@dsgcamo]

@@Randy_Richmond what the hell you want me to do exactly?

[@DewJee2019]

Check out Denzel in Devil in a Blue Dress. Nice old L.A. story with some entertaining country characters.

[@Henry_213]

I agree!! "Devil in a Blue Dress" with Denzel Washington is a excellent film noir of 1940's Los Angeles! A great whodunit! Highly recommended!👍

[@victornewman06]

The song near the end when Anthony and Kirby gets caught is Curtis Mayfield's "Right On For the Darkness". A very poignant tune that set the scene perfectly.

[@CharifRocka]

"It's better to check out, then to go home all f'd up." Woooow. What a line. The irony. Amazin editing btw, intention or not.

[@HabitualCinema]

It was intentional. I thought that line was important. Genuinely glad to see you noticed.

[@JackHeRare]

One of the most depressing movies ever. Once you’ve seen this movie once, you don’t really want to see it again lol Movie is ridiculously saddening to watch.

[@DaveMillennial]

na. this movie is amazing. super rewatchable

[@miw9469]

“Sunset Park” Terrance Howard was in high school… great movie gotta check it out ladies

[@manny.3248]

Chris Tucker's character skip was on dope (heroin), which was common for some people who were in the military in the 70s and went to Vietnam.

[@reneedennis2011]

Yup. He was also suffering from Agent Orange.

[@reneedennis2011]

@@HabitualCinema Wow. That is sad 😔.

[@kadarmuhammad5059]

Terrence Howard played Michael Jackson’s brother Jackie Jackson in the “Jackson’s an American dream movie” (it’s movie about Michael Jackson and his brothers) that came out in 1992 I think that might’ve been his first film. You ladies should react to it 😎

[@bryce253]

How in the world is THAT how you highlight Terrance Howard's career?!? That's all you know him from!!? 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@tripsaplenty1227]

Terrence Howard got the RFK Jr brain worms

[@TymeJefferson]

Great reaction yall. Toward the end of the movie when he was sentenced to 15 yrs to life prison, all I was thinking about is, everything could've been avoided if he and friends chose college.

[@misstexas651]

All the Dead president reactions I seen ur the first to recognize Stacy from menace 😂

[@rashadwalker8218]

They are good at recognizing folks lol

[@WJones-jf8mf]

It’s so refreshing to see someone actually know the names of Black actors! I watch so many reactions and scream the names when people guess. You know your stuff!

[@WJones-jf8mf]

I think Terrence’s first was sunset park with the amazing w/Rhea Perlman! He was a baby

[@HabitualCinema]

Thank you 🫶🏻 genuinely appreciate that

[@kwanwallacephotography5145]

@@HabitualCinema please watch Life with jenna

[@swacfan100]

I like how they touched on Anthony's mental issues. My momma talked about men that came from the war. She said you could see the shortage because of the draft, and because many didn't make it back. Those who did had either drug and / or mental issues. Even health issues like Chris Tuckers character. Many could'nt get jobs etc, it was a crazy time for many She said.

[@HabitualCinema]

I read afterwards that Chris Tuckers character was a victim of agent orange as well. I had a neighbor growing up who was the same and his kids unfortunately all suffered severely from it mentally speaking. It’s all really sad honestly

[@KeishaCharmaine]

I’m guessing this movie took place before PTSD was a known thing. Super depressing movie but I can only imagine how many ppl from that time period could relate.

[@tkctkc5805]

Also, most of this cast had played on Menace II Society.

You gotta do higher learning next,John singleton directed that same guy from boyz n the hood

[@bryce253]

This is an overlooked great movie. I always thought it was brilliant at the end to use Martin Sheenas the judge at the end. Martin Sheen of course plays the lead in the greatest Vietnam War movie of all time Apocalypse Now. Many view it as an anti-war movie. It's actually both pro and anti tho.

This is one of my favorite movies. It hits different for me being retired military. Anthony made some horrible decisions. He should have gotten with Delilah instead of Juanita & he wouldn’t had to deal with Cutty & he shouldn’t have gotten Cleon involved in the heist.
