Watching Juice (1992)| Tupac's greatest performance? Bishop is an underrated villain!

[@SoundBiteInc-]

To be 20 puttin on a role like this; really shows how powerful that theatre training was for Pac

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

Absolutely!!!

Bishop popping out made me jump every time, even the second time watching the movie. I guess that's like a horror movie a little, but I agree with you it's more suspense. Good choice for Thursday!

[@tkctkc5805]

@48:20 Actually, that hairstyle is called The Gumby. It was popular back in the late 80s and early 90s, and was made popular by the cartoon of the same name. 2pac was rocking the Gumby back in '88 if you look back at his interviews as an artschool student. Also, Omar Epps character is wearing the Gumby as well.

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

Im well aware of what the gumby hairstyle is. Two things can be true at the same time. He has the gumby cut, which looks completely different than the version Q has. And his hair can also be symbolic since this is a movie and whatnot

This is definitely a thriller. I love Juice and pac was balls to the wall crazy in this movie. I whip this DVD out every few years. Great review. You trying to dance to that undanceable song was hilarious 😂.

Juice is one of those movies that if someone says they have not seen it, they get the side eye from me lol I love the art form of DJ mixing but when people try to dance to it in movies, it grinds my gears! 😂😂😂

[@A.Light33]

i never thought about bishop's hair cut that way. Good attention to detail for sure. I love 2pac's line delivery. My dad used to always mimic him saying "partna”😂

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

I won't act like that was my theory lol I saw someone mention it somewhere and then I started looking into it more and it makes perfect sense He brought that "partna" up from his big toe! He meant that 😂😂 And your dad saying that is hilarious 😂

[@bigrob1987]

This is a 90s classic. It hard to believe this movie is 32 years old. This is my favorite Tupac film. Tupac pretty much owns this movie. As Bishop is a great antagonist. But anyway I hope you have a wonderful day. Stay safe, take care and stay amazing Sista Gurl on Films.

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

I know!! The 90s was such a great time for Black cinema! That time really felt like the 2nd Renaissance for Black creatives

[@bigrob1987]

@@SistaGurlonFilms I completely agree

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

Juice is one of my favorite movies. It turned into a horror film after Bishop killed old man Quil. I first saw this in theaters with my brother & cousin at the $1.50 movie. I got chills when Bishop killed old man Quil & Raheem & when he appeared at Q’s locker. Here are some fun facts: Omar Epps’ name was Quincy in this movie & in Love & Basketball. Donald Faizon auditioned for the role of Steele but was given a small part in this movie. He confronted Q at school before Bishop showed up. Q’s little brother was played by George O. Gore II (G from New York Undercover & Jr. from My Wife & Kids), Flex Alexander was the dude who was arguing with the judge at the DJ audition, Snappy Nappy Dugout was played by one hit wonder singer Oran “Juice” Jones who sung who 80s hit the rain, Yolanda was played by Cindy Herron of En Vogue & her husband played in School Daze, Do The Right Thing & The Drop Squad.

So, I read once that Earnest Dickerson had written this script in the late 70’s/early 80’s so the dialogue needed to be updated to shoot it. I think what you’re hearing is, in some instances, them not updating it fully enough to always feel of the time. That said though, this is still one of my favorite movies of all time.

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

That makes sense!!!

After all these years of watching this movie, I realized what Bishop's issue was. Bishop father was sexually assaulted while in prison and everyone in the boroughs knew that, thats why Radamez said what he said during the altercation with Bishop. Peep he was triggered as soon as he said that, also you could easily see Bishop's father was traumatized early in the film. So considering that happened, Bishop goes out his way to prove he's masculine and demanded respect "Juice" by any means necessary. But by him being young, he went about everything Ignorant and emotionally, basically acting out because those same demons his father is facing is somehow taking a toll on him.

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

Yea the first few times watching this, I assumed Bishops father just had mental issues and Radames said that just to antagonize Bishop. But now, I agree with you that, the assaults did happen in jail and that's why his father acts that way

[@princeparish5001]

@@SistaGurlonFilms Exactly which is crazy because what happened to his father somehow took a toll on everybody else, that shows there's always some crazy motive behind every bad thing that happens to people

[@nicolesherman8974]

You must be inside my head, because why was I about to rewatch this for this gazillionth time 🤣? No, but seriously, Juice is one of my favorite movies ever. Watching this movie, you can definitely see Ernest Dickerson is a fan of the horror genre, hence why so many people call this a horror movie towards the climax of the movie i.e. where Bishop (Tupac) gets the gun. Fun fact: on the set of this movie was where Tupac wrote one of his signature songs Brenda’s Got a Baby.

I dont see a problem with reacting to Juice, you reacted to films on this channel that arent thrillers or horror. Where juice is concerned the director was making a modern day public enemy, the black and white gangster film that they were watching on TV and whose character was also crazy. It was meant to be a cautionary film at the time. Juice uses thriller elements to tell this cautionary tale. Who was gonna survive. Even the tag line for the movie is thriller esque.
