The Police Film That Started "Cop Films" ( COLORS 1988 )

[@XanderShiller]

Sean Penn threatening to put $50 in a gangsters pocket in front of his friends was gritty-real a.f. and the line i remember most after seeing it like 15yrs ago

[@scottyk1763]

"BUELALALLA" is actually the sound i hear everytime sean penn talks

[@I_like_turtles_67]

Yup. Shaun is a buster.

[@YungBeezer]

I think the bull joke is basically saying if you calmly approach and assess a situation (walking down the hill and saving your stamina) you can more effectively achieve your goals and make greater gains (fucking all the cows) as opposed to rushing into things (running down the hill, exhausting yourself) and coming up short (fucking only one cow because you're out of breath.)

Fun fact incase no one else has noticed, but a lot of the high Jail level scenes were filmed at Lincoln Heights jail in Boyle Heights. Example, America History X, Colors, South Central, and probably some others I’m forgetting.

Back when this movie came out the media was acting like the bloods and crips were attempting to end western civilization, and this was one of those movies that terrified white people across america about what was going on in California. So its kind of a heightened reality kinda movie but enjoyable as hell. Nice time capsule that doesn't have enough of a coherent main story but a lot of elements kinda blended in. rising coast hip hop culture, the crack epidemic and darryl gates era LAPD.

[@Evan-lr8nq]

My father bugged the hell out because of this movie. He thought gangs were gonna kill me on the way to school. We live in upstate NY in a town of 10k people. I feel bad for him now that I am older.

Great job on this video! I was in high school when this came out. This film was controversial for the reasons you stated, but at that time, this was one of the most violent movies produced. Its pretty tame for today's standards. You forgot to mention that the soundtrack to this movie was arguably more popular than the movie, with the title track of "Colors" mastefully done by Ice-T (yes, that guy on Law and Order). And as a cheesy sidenote, the young cholo was played by Gerardo, who was a one-hit wonder with "Rico Suave." Ah, the 80s! Good stuff Vato!

End of Watch is the 2010's version of Colors.
