[@alecia-dfcb71]

Agreed! I get so excited when I see them reviewing and it’s always the best movies

[@gracerebekahh_]

Fun fact: after this movie was released, Queen Latifah put a no death clause in her future movie contracts because she understood how traumatic it was for her to act it out and how the audience received it. It was too heavy for her to deal with so if her character does have to die, it can’t be on camera and it can’t be gory.

[@BAMOORE94]

[@immaculatenzimande9929]

she's amazing! I don't understand how she never got Oscar nominations, let alone wins. It's what I noticed about the actors Tyler Perry hires, they rarely get hollywood recognition or gigs outside of Tyler's projects. I'll always always appreciate Tyler for that. These black actors are better than over 60% of the white actors I've watched over the years.

[@philburton2223]

I keep trying to remember what other movie I saw her in. If I couldn't remember I doubt they would to. To be honest this is the 1st time I have watched this movie from start to finish. I had only seen scenes here & there .

Cleo is the epitome of a crashout, which explains all of her actions and why she went out shooting the way she did. Queen Latifah did an amazing job with portraying her character.

Ikr? One of the most memorable scenes in the film to me & yes, that scene always gave me chills, especially when that song comes in. I still think that this is Queen's best performance, same with Kimberly Elise & maybe Jada & Vivica as well. Blair Underwood & John C. McGinley are always good.

[@Woodstri]

Cleo*

[@letitiacooper98]

Yes 😢

[@bulelwashezi4540]

I feel like removing the racial aspect to the cop's arc oversimplifies his character. I think HE thought he was just 'all about his job' but letting one of them go for sympathy literally doesn't make sense for his character. He was faced with his unconscious bias by seeing how the local cops just immediately unload on every black perp no questions. He didn't try to bring perps back alive until after killing the boy. He makes that one change, and it showed him how the cop bias is actually racial bias. He let stoney go because the weight of all that bloodshed left him guilty. He feels responsible for turning her life upside down and leading her down this desperation path into crime.

[@cinemeleon2808]

Yes, yes and yes!

[@seedking40]

Letting Stoney go is within his character. He's a detective that is suppose to investigate criminals. Stevie was not only innocent of the robbery but he also was squeaky clean even after losing both of his parents. The money is insured and Stoney has already lost everything. He owed Stoney because of what he did to her brother. He basically delivered street restitution to Stoney. He also realized he played a critical role in Frankie becoming a bank robber because she was the brains. She could have blew him away since she knew it was over for her but with nothing to lose she still spared him. Why not show Stoney the same grace??

[@danerook]

It isn't racial bias

[@jaydarussell2901]

It was obviously racially biased. That's how the show started off in the first place. The bank got rubbed by black men, and a black woman who so happens to come from the same hood got the heat, even tho there were other bank teller there who could have pushed the silent alarm when they saw men with guns😒. Franky, A.K.A Vivica A. Fox, was the only one to get fired and her boss literally told her, he was uncomfortable with her "being friends" with one of the perps 🙄, it started out racially biased. That's what kept the detective thinking franky was involved in the robbery even when she wasn't.

[@CloroxBleach-lm2gm]

⁠@@danerook the whole movie is an exaggeration of how racism pushes ppl to go to extremes. TT white boss having no sympathy for her having a kid and docking her pay. Social services taking her child. Frankie being fired from her job of 2 years. Stony brother being falsely identified and then him being shot grabbing a bottle(something that still happens today) The boss running off w the money. All of that pushed them to a life of crime. It’s an allegory for real black ppl around those surroundings. A lot of us feel like we can’t catch a break and turn to crime for material satisfaction and to relieve the stress of struggle.

@@michelle5802 how is it a weird statement lol? Maybe you have weird comprehension. The original person said it was a "true American classic", and I specified. Black American and hood culture are a sub-culture of American culture. Like how Asian ppl often specify what kind of Asian something is. Or sometimes ppl specify the region of America something is, like "southern". Most Americans are white and that has been the standard/general culture since the country got going. Ppl say things like "white movie" or in the same breath "American movie" unless it's a white specified ethnic group like a (white) Latin, Italian, or Irish.

I also watched this film in the cinema-GREAT-movie too.Most of the film's cast dying was realistic tho ( I'm assuming the show-runners didn't want to glamorize robbing banks,so,they showed the consequences of criminal acts ) in 1996 I was in the army,stationed at Ft Hood,Tx ( since renamed Ft Cavazos ) and every one was talking about this film and which female characters they liked the best.This was one of the only films starring 4 black,female leads in a major movie,until Gang of Roses ( came out Oct-2003 ) no a bad film.Then-GIRLS-TRIP-came along ( July-21-2017 ) which is also a-GREAT-film.

Also, Jaby just gets it, with the scene where Cleo tells Stoney and Frankie to get out of the car in the tunnel. That moment when Stoney goes to embrace Cleo after she tells them she'll catch up with them later and they both tear up, was like a gut punch to me because they both knew, in that instant, the chance of that happening wasn't at all likely. The same for the hug Stoney and Frankie shared right before the split at the gate. The same as the kiss Stoney placed on TeTe before leaving her body in the car. The way this story built their connections and sisterhood, made every moment that much more palpable. Their excitements, hopefulness, heightened fears, disappointments, sorrows, regrets...etc. I saw this movies countless times, starting when I was a teen in the 90s. It took me seeing it as a woman in my mid 30s who has experienced enough of these character's emotions and now hold a deeper understanding of sisterhoods. The emotions were so high and the stakes even higher. At some point, they just decide to fully commit after going from one level to the next of "well there's no turning back from this, now that we've done that, so we might as well keep on going" all the way to the moment they're busting down the freeway with cops tailing and helicopters looming, wanted for robbery and murder. The guts, the heart, the intensity, the commitment. In those moments I was with them...and for other brief moments, in my mind, I WAS them. I was fully SWEPT, emotionally spent and, dammit, crying right along with Stoney in that damn hotel room feeling like, I too, had just lost my sisters. And a movie that does THAT?? Whew!

[@SimplyRaecosmetics]

Whew this made me cry, I was too young to fully understand why this movie felt so real to me. I know these women. I understand their motivations more now going into my late 20s. Honestly, brilliant

[@mookiemonroe9311]

As a black girl born in the 90’s, I am enjoying you two watch these movies SO much!! BABY BOY, The Wood, and Love and Basketball WOULD BLOW YOUR MIND😂😂😂

[@richhill39]

I've never seen you guys so invested in a movie before. When I saw that movie when it came out, I had the same reaction. Great movie.

[@fredrickbrown4990]

My friends and I freaking love you guys!!! Keep doing your thing❤

[@sarcasticwanderer1148]

God, I haven't watched this in years. That scene with Cleo and the music playing always gets me 😭

[@jocelyngipson7882]

STILL!!

[@isaiah9634]

10:20 The way Jaby laughs...I believe him 100% that he almost passed out laughing on a weed cookie 😂

[@denithegodmother4158]

I’m sooooooo happy you all did this movie (and are choosing to do more Black films), I can’t lie, when I saw it, it took a minute to click on it because I had to get my emotional setting together lol. This movie really catapulted Queen Latifah in her film career. This is such a culture classic! 😊Thank you all so much!

[@DSGodiva]

Man talk about a classic!! Cleo’s death with Up Against the Wind playing in the background still gets me every time.

[@jewelljohnson4919]

Acrimony, Deliver us from Eva, Love and Basketball, The Best Man Holiday

[@ag18458]

Please react to Life with Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence, you'll love it, it's so funny.

[@donnac.3273]

Yes Life

[@AceVenturaaa]

It was SOOOOOO good🫶🏾

[@Reichol_]

Yess

[@cavaughngrace1488]

It reminds me of The Shawshank Redemption but a lighter, funny version.

[@janaesmith8966]

Thissss

[@ArmaniReactss]

Almost Christmas, Juice, Poetic Justice, Madea’s Big Happy Family, baby boy, Hardball, Think like a man, ATL, New Jack City, A thin line between love and hate, Boyz n the hood All great classics you guys should watch if you haven’t already!

[@lucheechala]

New👏🏾 Jack👏🏾 City👏🏾

[@jlcii]

This movie is a prime example as to why we in the Black community are mad that our works are not acknowledged. This movie is nothing shy of oscar-worthy, with oscar-worthy performances. And do you think it got one nomination, let alone any wins? Exactly.

[@MasochisticMaiden]

“It’s a wonder they didn’t get a sequel” 😂😩 Set It Off Again has been a funny internet rumor for years but I remember sneaking to watch this for the first time (as a kid) because my mom’s best friend would say I looked like a “little Jada Pinkett” and I felt insulted because I’m a kid and don’t know who that is. My older cousin lifted the key to the cabinet (where anything rated R was) so she could show me the movie and I’d stop being offended, it worked 90s Jada was chef’s kiss 🤌🏽✨

[@TryingMurphy]

It’s funny because when yall started watching more black films I was thinking that you guys should react to Set It Off then boom here it is. Love y’all’s videos

[@officermills]

It was only a matter of time

[@deanahicks6744]

Omg this really warms my heart that you guys are watching these classics that a lot of us grew up on and you really pay attention and not disregard it as just a black cinema ❤ Thank you and keep em coming cuz I enjoy your takes on them ❤

[@billclay9489]

'these Columns are made of columns" side salad kills me yall. LOL

[@danielled8652]

@@billclay9489 LOL are we really committing to calling him side salad? Cuz that is hilarious. I saw the comment on one of their previous reactions

[@billclay9489]

@@danielled8652 LOL He first mentioned it on a tyler petty movie and I loved it. Im not calling him that out of disrepect. Im calling him that because he said it and its funny. i love it. He needs to trademark it. LOL

[@Destyn2B]

He cracks me up! 😂

[@lucheechala]

"Side salad" 😂😂😂 love that name for him

[@TheCrystella26]

😂😂

[@Nyelasurviving]

Thank you so much for watching this movie! I knew that you both would have the reactions. I thought you both or at least one of you would cry when Queen Latifah got shot.

[@Nani-0613]

Funny enough Queen Latifah (Cleo) wasn't out and never came out, but we always knew about her sexuality and this movie solidified it. She is currently married to her wife, and they have a child together . This movie has some of thw msot fanous black woman in Hollywood. Queen Latifah Rapper, Actress,singer Jada Pinkett-Smith Actress, model, singer Vivica A Fox Kimberly Elise ( Diary of a mad black woman)

[@adrianTurbogocrazy]

Yall doing the lords work w these hood classics. This is one of my favorite movies❤

[@malachi975]

Undercover Brother, Best Man Holiday

[@AlastorsShadowDemon]

Oooh, undercover brother. Hell yeah. They should definitely react to that one.

[@kay23s]

Such a classic movie it never gets old watching it. So happy you guys enjoyed it! Btw Tisean is Helen from Diary of a Mad Black Women. Daddy's little girl as another classic

[@shaamya]

I'm loving how this younger generation is open to discovering the cult classic movies of Black American Experiences. You guys are dope.

[@voiceofwings8048]

Appreciate the conversation after the movie. Keep up the good work, guys.

[@vonmorris5948]

Living Single is a classic TV show amongst us Black millennials. It’s a wonderful show.

[@TheBraunMachine2K24]

I agree, it is. It's still a great show IMHO, definitely a 90s classic, I remember the line-up like it was yesterday. It was Martin, then Living Single, then New York Undercover & the news would come on right after. I still remember the theme song for Living Single. "In a 90's kinda world, I'm glad I got my girls."

[@IMHer777]

No matter how many times I watch this movie, still leaves me with the same feeling 😩

[@reaganhagins856]

Was in the middle of a different reaction when I saw this get posted, immediately switched! Such an amazing film that sticks with you for the rest of your life!

[@ztomas1]

I like the fact that there are non-black KZbinrs watching black movies, these are great movies that deserve to be re-watched and they are passed over by most KZbin channels they barely get watched even by black KZbin channel reactors

[@kayleebreann250]

I am soooooo here for these black movie reactions please watch SOULFOOD in honor of the holidays!!
