This movie is amazing and heartbreaking and sad

Headshot is also good as the raid

Great list man!

Great analysis man! If you loved these i suggest 'The Night Comes For Us" or the other newer Gareth project - the brilliant tv series "Gangs of London." Scott Atkins "Avengement was fantastic as well and the final bar fight is one of the more epic "Raid-esque" fight scenes you'll ever see.

I love the Raid movies. The final fights are so good.

The Raid : You're a bystander watching a fight Most : You're a bystander who have to teleports every 2 seconds watching a fight

The raid created the bar... And quiet high on that....

Movies like this is part of the problem.

My friend from Jamaica showed me this movie it was good from start to finish

Really interesting breakdown! This made me appreciate the movie more!

Menace 2 society holds the crown

When doeboy Was younger he was dark Skinner, and when he was older he was lie Skinner.

Y'all thinking way too much 😂😂😂 theres way too many scenes that show O dog is real !!!!! Plus the Hughes Brothers were not thinking that damn deep 😂😂😂 they said it their selves they were new to directing & just wanted to make a Boyz N The Hood / Goodfellas ripoff & that's literally all the film was 💯

First night I watched this back to back

Subbed

a heartfelt thank you to you, sir

For the slow people. Afro-Americans must be born in and have an Afro-American parent. Culture is not a skin color. The Blues and Gospel come from Afro-Americans not Nigerians. Jazz can from the USA not Joberg. Skin color is not a history. Lets use proper vocabulary and geography. Black Americans love the 1 drop rule and doing what white people say regarding race. Never dictating and just following orders. Black skin is not a unifier, it is a made up status based not on geographical location but skin. African descent people of the African diaspora have been affected by chattel slavery. It has NEVER been a requirement to be a certain color to ethnically be Afro-American In fact there are European passing passing Afro-Americans. Small minds say "white passing Black person 🫠" Sounding silly following the nonsense of Manifest Destiny DNA people.

Question? Why is an Indian Jamaican descent women being shown but discussing Black American / Afro-Americans aka Chattel slavery in the USA ~ Segregation ~ poll taxes?? Ethnicity and history matter. My grandmother matters. Where someone's elders were in 1955 matters. Blood sweat and tears by the people who suffered Jim Crow for our cousins to come and benefit while telling us at the same time to wait our turn. Ain't no president of African descent have a grandmother that cooked grits and bacon. "We all Black skin the same" yet our grandmothers don't cook the same. Stop letting colonizers get non reparations eligible African diaspora people in places of power. Someone who's grandparents are not from the USA do not advocate for my grandparents to get reparations. Not on the same agenda. Kamala is here in the USA to elevate herself not the descendants of chattel slaves. Slow people can't see the hustle. All African American history figures are played by British people. The white producers, directors, writers and costume designers make the African descent British play African American historical figures with compassion to slave owners. The roles are ALWAYS played to give the white person a second chance to finally see the enslaved as humans because good ol enslaved peoples finally were able to mold compassion into slave owners, KKK leaders and hardcore bigots. African Americans, starved for representation take a Black skin person in a place without asking where they grandma is from.

Forced grouping by colonizers who could care less between a Jamaican and Haitian or African descent Canadian. All the same to them and some of you have been propagandized to believe a whole continent of Africa is as small as skin color. Black skin is not a history and is not indicative of a history of chattel slavery. Black Americans which is an ethnicity has participated in chattel slavery. Please in 2025 use geography, culture and ethnicity not skin color. Black skin people this, Black skin people that. Skin color is not a specific history, language, customs, cuisine, religion or anything. Simply not being white is not an automatic ally make. Wait till "Black skin" non Africans learn skin color is not a factor but the religion, language and ethnicity is HELLA important. Their generations long Civil War between Black skin people. Shocking to USA African descent people that the same skin color people ever disagree. Skin color is so polarized in the USA, the "Black folk" here think all Black skin Africans hold hands and sing Kumbaya

Roger was actually happy to see Alonso the first time he shows up , they truly seem like friends , that's what makes it so cold when Alonso blows him away like nothing ,

with the racism and misogyny that woc face theres no way yt folk were gonna let her win. its just fkn sad.

"Villains need some love, too" Your whole culture is obsessed with villains. You love them and praise them. Now you "analyse" them and people can not help but click it, you know that is a cash cow. No one cares about the good guys, only when they are "real badass". Whole thing is poison.

I preferred menace. They made Caine an "everyman" gangster. I think that works well, because there are degrees to that lifestyle. It isn't just killer or college boy. And sometimes you don't make it, even if you do the right things. It felt closer to reality. I can see why people love boyz in tha hood. Doughboy and Furious are the best characters in either movie. And Furious said a lot of what black people need to hear. But cuba gooding jr was not convincing at all. It took me out of the movie even as a child. Increase the peace mayne ✊🏿

wtf i didn't know there was Taken 2 and 3 i need to go watch that shit RN

Cause he hates windows i thought that was obvious

There were zero good guys in the movie Azie was a pedophile and drug dealing monster too. Unpopular opinion Rico/Alpo did what he was supposed to do to Rich/Mitch in that world. Mitch stole money from him essentially. 100s of thousands if not mistaken. Of Azie was super rich and was really Rich/Mitches right hand and knew he was broke why the fuck did he not let him borrow the money?

Todays Scarface

The RAID that shit was bonkers we gotta maybe 3

My first video of yours that I watched and love it!

One of my fav character arcs is OG Bobby Johnson

I love the movie paid in full because there were low-key, wholesome moments that I can relate to that reminded me of my own family. In truth, I think that was the point. They were real people, real events happened, just not in Hollywood. This was the only movie, I felt was so compelling, that I needed to look it up in NY Daily news Archives. Fr. My condolences.

Menace to society was better this cheesy acting was whack . RIIICCKKEEEYY 😂😂 👎

Amazing review!! You summed up my thoughts perfectly, I just watched this movie tonight and had to listen to a dissertation! I usually hate gangster movies/shows cause of how much they always glorify criminality, but this film does no such bullshit. I loved all the characters and really made me feel for those who have to grow up on these awful co dotions, and like you said how black people are constantly getting the short end of the stick, it's tucked up

Dude i wanna cry so bad

Raid's fight choreography was very rational... The henchmen didn't waited for there turn to punch the protagonist

Shareef's pops was the Furious of Menace to Society...

I loved both films. But there is a scene in Raid 2, where they had a prison fight, when Rama breaks a leg of a bald guy. Thought that scene is pretty unrealistic other then that it's fine.

The first was definately better than the second

11/10

Imo.... the ONLY thing that kept "Menace II Society" from being THE ABSOLUTE BEST Hood Movie ever put to film.... was not including actor Lloyd Avery II in this incredible movie. For those of you not in the know... Lloyd Avery II was the actor / "Blood" who shot Ricky with the double-barrelled shotgun in "Boyz in tha Hood". But Lloyd Avery II wasn't "just an actor". He was convicted of murder and sent to Pelican Bay prison where he himself would be murdered by his (white) cellmate in some bizarre satanic ritual. Lloyd Avery II was about "that life".... lived "that life"... and died "that life".

You should have mentioned the fight scenes from Dare Devil season 1 (whe he saves the kid) and season 2 (the staircase). Both fights were crafted exellently, even if there is only a little martial arts involved. What makes these scenes so special is that they feel like real and brutal fights, not well choreograohed dances ... and that IS the brilliance of this choreogrphy.

Don't say black people around the world, the blacks in Europe where never slaves in Europe. Most of then are from east Africa and was never affected negatively by the trans Atlantic slave trade. Speak for the Americas, not the world.

Says he doesnt want any trouble....... Then disrespects him about his mom........

Yeah, seeing The Raid, and Raid 2. These are action movie benchmarks.

I think will went about it the wrong way.

Rap music is sooo different now days from 80's.

If black men and women had came together Kamala Harris would have won. But now things are about to get very bad in America when trump takes office.

These movies tell true story how life really is in hood but idk for some our people still will not come together. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I love this movie and i just seen about every interview by Az.

I'll say it. The Raid films fight scenes were pure perfection. There has never been any movie that comes close to it. NEVER
