No there weren't. Brothas is a term for Black person. If you want to say it like that fine but it could go the other way too then. Why didn't post photos of Black Italians?

Where I live you can't buy a single slice of pizza and when you buy a pizza, it's going to be too spicy. I couldn't tell if the slice of pizza in this movie clip had less cheese on it than it should have, but it looks like Sal might be one of those types who skimps on the cheese on purpose, who knows? It seems like everyone wants to be a jerk these days. At first I thought "What is Bug out complaining about no black people in the pictures on the wall - it's a pizza place, for God's sake, it's about Italian people ? But then I thought, "Hey, Sal could look into finding some noteworthy people of black and Italian heritage whose photos could be included! There are ways to do things right and both Sal and Bug Out could be better people if they could both drop their attitudes.

YW. I saw this Movie and I was blown away when it first came out. You know what's kind of sad, since the heyday of The Cotton Club there's always been this hostile history between Blacks and Italians. Many of them had controlling interest in Harlem Nightclubs in the 1930's, in the 1950's, a lot of R & B Singers recorded on Labels that Italians had small interest on. There were allegations that The Copa had Mafia ties, and remember on The Sopranos when Massive Genius asked Hesh for $400.000.00 for back Royalties for Adella Willis who recorded for a Label that Tony Soprano's Father Johnny "Good Boy" Soprano had an interest in.

[@thebee9907]

@@laminage I think you should research a bit further...about the 11th century. Italy was invaded by the black Moors then, and there has been hostility since. In that episode of Sopranos, its funny when mob guys keep saying the word, "mulignan", only for one of the black associates to remind him that the mob guys, "got a lil soul in them as well, dont you all remember the Moors invading Italy? Or is that not covered because Christopher Colombus is your hero?" Technically, Buggin' Out did have his people on the wall. Whats even more ironic, is that the actor playing Buggin' Out...Giancarlo Esposito, is Half Black, Half Italian in real life.

There is no half and half in the Italian Community.

[@indy-fs6de]

Buggin' Out is grating, as he's supposed to be. What's great about this film is that no one is framed as being entirely good, leaving you confused and conflicted by the end. The black people in this neighborhood have absolutely no real power on this street that is their home. The cops have the real power, and the businesses are owned by people from outside the community. Without any real control, characters like BO and Radio Raheem try to assert control over their environment in essentially meaningless ways, like BO's insistence of putting black people up on the wall of fame (which the movie makes a point of telling us that no one else in the community agrees with) or Radio Raheem playing his music loudly wherever he goes. It would have been such a cut-and-dry ending if BO or RR had been portrayed as completely noble or heroic. They needed to be portrayed as flawed jerkasses because black people shouldn't have to be perfect victims for us to care about them or their lives. Whether he was a jerk throughout the movie or not is completely immaterial to his being murdered by the cops. Portraying him or BO as "good black people who behave" would have weakened the message.

[@jacobyoung729]

YES. I knows when the big dawg is about to bite. He's seen it.

[@RaiderX948]

$ 1.50 for a slice, the good old days, 1989.

[@shadowboxing7779]

everybody in this film was racist lol

[@skudaarkaat1]

OH GROW UP!!!

[@lovefood4eva1983]

I know right, they should have named this film " do the racist thing" lol

[@Colincamera363]

Not everybody the mayor was OK

Hello old profile, been looking for you cheers from the future!!!

[@deepfried13]

So was everyone else in Brooklyn in 1989

[@jackoreilly4015]

So this was why Gus started his own fast food business

[@ThatsBlackJack]

The funny thing is "Buggin Out" aka Gus better known as Giancarlo Esposito is half Italian himself lolll 😂😂

[@JoeyTCartoonP]

I think that's the brilliance of the scene. In essence, black Italians have every right to be on the wall with white ones.

[@jamretro1336]

Gus from Breaking Bad

[@johnnyangel9163]

Yeah but dont tell him that!

[@christopherhughes9787]

What he really should have been complaining about was that just a little extra cheese cost more than the actual slice of pizza.

[@osbaldohernandez9174]

I don’t know why he trippin that’s sals place like damn

[@hibye666]

Such a well show scene. All the little details like the sons slowly and quietly trying to calm Sal down and not let him do or say anything stupid comes off really authentic and realistic.

[@lexkanyima2195]

But edgy. Sal has a point

[@JoshuaJackson360]

Michael Jor-Dan LMAO

[@peppecimmino792]

Both Giancarlo Esposito and Danny Aiello have italian descent from Naples

[@matthewakian2]

The ironic thing is that the actor who plays Buggin Out is half Italian.

[@tharanmanning6559]

Buggin out was just being ignorant. That's his place of business he had no right to tell him who's pictures he can have on his wall. If he dont like it go somewhere else for pizza.its his place of business.he can run his business however he wants to run it.thats the same as like going to his house telling him how to run his house.

[@AQUAPHREESH193]

Cartell Jenkins lol they were sharing their opinion pretty “calmly” to me.

Buggin has to be one of the best movie villains of all time...

R.I.P Danny Aiello.. thanks for great cinema memories

[@johnbrown9802]

Comes in there 3 times a day doesn't know the price. And just then notices the pictures on the wall.

[@JenniferRubyHan]

2:25 Sal says, "I'm not kicking you out. You're kicking YOURSELF out." I can't...

[@Ant-speakingfacts]

Bugging out was the reason why there was trouble throughout the whole movie

[@billybutcher913]

To be fair, the pizza had a fair amount of cheese.

[@tinatally3278]

What's hilarious is that the real man behind Buggin Out's character Giancarlo Esposito, is of I----TALIAN decent. LOL.

[@superblue2983]

True, he said in a interview that Danny Aiello reminded him of his own dad, it was ironic Jesus has Italian blood also....like me I'm half black half Italian, i look like Vin Diesel.... Hence my name Giorgio "Geo" Jones.

[@superblue2983]

super blue typo he has Italian blood

[@driv21]

+Tina Tally I know, he must have to be a great actor to portray a character who hates Italians, even though he is Italian. For one thing, his name is GIANCARLO ESPOSITO!

[@illmatic826]

+extracredit100 shut up BITCH

[@illmatic826]

jaroncreed he is afro italian

[@theplaraorder7467]

This is why Gus got into the restaurant business.

[@quarternipp]

The practices of a private business is that private business' say and no one else's. Just because you patronize the place doesn't mean you have any say on how they run their place. You choose to go in and pay for a service then you abide by the way they run their business while there, if not you can go somewhere else.

[@kingecho1894]

"I'm making trouble" 😭😭😭😂😂 like it's some sorta dish

[@Lapusso650]

So that's why he opened Los Pollos. To have a place to put some brothers up on the wall

[@extremeking425]

you expected likes huh

[@Alucario64]

Buggin should open his own chicken restaurant so he can get brothers up on the wall

[@chrisnasif4156]

Sal lost his cool at 2:00, he should've kept it together. Buggin out wasn't causing a problem, he was just ranting as he does. Most Sal should've responded with was "Don't throw stuff on my floor, come on man!"

[@melo6904]

This is the guy that finds a million things to complain about something outside of himself so he never has to look deep inside and figure out what’s wrong with him.

[@andalusianproperties9622]

Danny Aiello was brilliant in this. RIP. Entire cast was brilliant

[@GurpreetSingh-by5ih]

If bugging out intention was to end racism, He must have watched EPIC ✋ S H A K E between Arnie and Carl weathers in P R E D A T O R
