Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?
9 out 10. Such a good movie!
And just think if they used them in real life and not just “Films”😑
You are making a mountain out of a molehill
Nine and a nice little bump of cocaine..
10
The best "shut the fuck up" ever recorded on film.
Josh Brolin goes full ATF on this doggo.
That's racist bro
@@MrDEFJAMJOHNNY What!? How?
Jesus man.. that shit was hilarious.
ruby ridge wont be forgotten
@@MrDEFJAMJOHNNY ATF is the least racist agency there is, they’ll murder you no matter if you’re a white guy in Texas or a Panther in Seattle
The sad truth is that the real Richie Roberts didn't end his career nearly as law-abiding as he was in these times.
What happened?
@@ProjectEkerTest33 Tax evasion and suspension from the legal profession
@@SalemGhassanHanna so ironic lmaooo
"Sir, you HAVE to pay 20% tax on those chicken nuggets, else you an EVIL person"
Who cares about tax evasion
Its always fun when the director of the movie looks at the actor and goes "go ahead, say it"
lmaooo right. The line wasnt even necessary
Youre probably not very old if you're not aware how utterly prolific words like that are used in R rated movies
@@DontGoogleDinosaurWith500Teeth MAH NIGGA! OUR LIVES MATTER!
@@TheDeezy250 What do you mean not necessary? Have you missed the guy using deragotory terms twice? It was used to show that this character is racist. Have you missed final dialogue with Frank, where Crow's character specifically states how Frank is dangerous because of what he represents - a colored sucessful businessman(even though the business is criminal)? It was precicely used to highlight discriminatory spirit of that time, and what contributed to the demise of the Frank
@@TheDeezy250 the line was completely necessary. you suspect this is his attitude with his earlier reaction, but he bites down his arrogant opinion - but when pressed for more, he reveals his true colours crudely. the movie shows the corruption of the US govt through 1 persons prejudice - he is meant to represent the system that russel crow is fighting
American Gangster and No Country for Old Men: Two 2007 movies where the Josh Brolin character shoots a dog over a bag of money.
Hey, fellow 90s kids: the asshole agent who uses the hard R is THE SINGING VOICE OF HERCULES IN THE DISNEY MOVIE.
And….
@yankees29go away gen z
Yeah, I thought some of those bars in Hercules got pretty wild. You can't make movies like that anymore, for sure.
As a mechanic who was actually stationed in Dover (in modern times), watching what they did to that jet gave me anxiety. I also used to hear stories about this from the old civilians who worked alongside us.
Break everything in the name of finding that devil dope. The DEA way
Well don't blame DEA. Blame the crime organization among the military during Vietnam War.
People hate to admitt a black man was above the Mafia 😂😂😂😂
In real life he was not!
@@whiteknite7763you forgot drug dealings wasn't really their thing back then, they was in it but not deep like that, it was only when Paul Castellano died the mafia went headfirst into drugs
@@whiteknite7763don’t hate 😂
ikr. A black man literally killing his own people with a direct connect of the purest poison the hood ever seen. I guess it's all good because he was "above" the mafia. The mafia just didn't really fw black people like that. Frank was more than willing. That makes him the worst kind of scum.
@@therealchucktaylor3392 He means that historically Frank Lucas bought FROM the mafia, he never went direct to the source to get his heroin.
Frank Lucas never reached anywhere near the Mafia level of heroin traffic-ing. He was even paying street tax to the Genovese Family who had a firm control over Harlem.
Did the Genovese family ever gather 10 or 20 of their made guys, and offer the police to testify against Frank Lucas? Did they ever all go into court, at Frank Lucas' trial, to shoe their solidarity with the police and prosecutors, and, to simply watch the Frank Lucas trial ?
The Mafia most likely imported more heroin than Frank Lucas, but Frank's heroin was purer. That's what made him stand out.
@@thabomuso2575 It's a pretty well known fact though that this movie grossly exaggerates Frank's position and role
@@bobarcher5837 yes without a doubt Frank's role is exaggerated in the movie. Or to put things in a better perspective, other drug dealing organizations were still far bigger than his.
However, Frank Lucas was still one of the main drug suppliers in New York City and as I stated before, his heroin was purer than the average.
@@thabomuso2575 See I just don't know about that. I'm not trying to be a dick or anything either. I don't know too much about the guy. But he certainly was not above the mafia. Even if what you're saying is right and that his was more pure, that doesn't by itself make him a major player
That captain is older than many colonels I have seen.
Captain Wallace B. Binghamton
could be a late-bloomer. Started as an enlisted and at a mid-career point(Usually at E-5 or E-6) decided to go OCS and put on the butter-bars.
Happens all the time.
Must have had a lot of fights
He wouldn't have said that without Lou in the room.
*This when Richie Roberts realized how Frank Lucas was able to have power for so long without anybody batting a eye, its because of racism...*
Imagine doing that with no power tools lol
I’m against women being hit by men but I gotta give the special agent some credit as least he had enough decency to not touch Frank’s mother 1:30
I think it’s hilarious that people are triggered over words used in films. I’m getting too old.
So true. I don't really recognize this world anymore unfortunately.
@@garethmccarthy2990 Nah. You wanted this & recognize it just fine. 'Triggering' was called 'political correctness' (80s/90s) and you endorsed it np.
See, you are a leftist. You agreed with leftism up to a point but when it kept going past that point, suddenly you don't like it anymore. In other words, you're fine with tyranny & corruption as long as it harms others and/or benefits you. *YOU* are one of the reasons things have gotten so bad. Blame only yourself, leftist.
Right I think it’s funny when people get triggered by other races they gotta make laws to not allow people to drink from the same fountain
@@Mr801man ya because that’s really happening. 😳
@@Mr801man Segregation and eugenics are unironically the answer.
Imagine getting arrested by Doble. Wait. I did and he fucked me up😂😂
i was gathering myself after the scream from the hard R and homie comes in with the K word outta left field, god damn XD
OH MY GOD !!!
I HOPE THIS DOESN'T GIVE YOU MENTAL ISSUES.
Let the rest of these weak minded mfs
@Rzn I don't know if your joking, or what exactly ur sayin so imma take it as disrespect lol I'm obviously fuckin joking, igaf what is said.
Screw everything else. I was gathering myself after the dog got shot.
Wow the editing is sublime
The truth is Frank Lucas wasn't even above Nicky Barnes.
Right
It's dumb how they tried to make him out to be the king of new york lmfao
Racists
You smoking😂😂😂 Nicky was buying from Frank and selling weaker product. That's why Frank checked his ass
@@jsn23nc Yeah, in the movie. In real life Frank wouldn't have talked that way to Nicky in a million years. Frank Matthews and Nicky Barnes were the real bosses, Lucas was just hyped up by the movie, he was nowhere near as smart or eloquent as Denzel portrayed him.
I’m glad someone knows the facts, Frank did not deal with the Italians, only Nicky Barnes did. The Italian Mob (LCN) hated Frank Matthews!
The hard r and everything💀
Then he hit the k word my dude is st8 savage
@Kyle Korona imagine being mad at an actor for acting. Should we be mad at DiCaprio for being a slave owner in Django? Grow up
You two clowns stay safe behind your computer screens. Just don’t forget when you’re in public
@@gabrielmcguoirk6106 imagine having multiple illegal family members you try and keep away from being deported ? Useless scum from Mexico. The should be sentenced and killed on site for crossing the boarder illegaly no matter the age.
@Kyle Korona people do it in ghettos a lot. It's become a term of endearment.

You know the scene in 3;10 to Yuma where the guy shoots the dad and crowes character shoots him for it on principle. Thats what Id of done to the guy who shot the shepherd. In a movie.
left a like for the soothing outro music
I always thought this film should have been made about Leroy "Nicky" Barnes.
Frank was never and nowhere near the mafia, let alone "above".
It's a film, el moron
Racist
in narcotics.. key phrase
SBF , “hold my beer”
Trump and Kushner: 'Hold our beers".
@@mathewlegrange5880 what the 3 have in common ? they are all K.
@@mathewlegrange5880 When you watch too much CNN lol
Amazing movie.
Also as inaccurate to the real story as you can get.
Loved Josh Brolin
Interesting - Russel Crowe does a fairly consistent New York accent for this film.
Ben Shapiro needs to chill
01:18 🤣🤣😂
i love how they make it seems like power drills didnt exist in the 1960-70s like yeah our construstion workers were def using spindel drills to screw in shit
They probably weren’t household items like they are now.
@@yankees29 so a government agency cant afoord them cuz they werent houshold tools (which is wrong they most definetly had some kind of powered drill wether it be electric or air powered
in the 70s even heavily crooked cops were squeamish about shooting a defenseless dog.
I love this movie!
3:27 he’d be a dead man.
Good movie of a successful gangster in real life not to accurate but good movie but no gangster and I mean no gangster is above the mafia
NO F%&!NG N!&%#R HAS ACCOMPLAISHED WHAT THE MAFIA HASNT IN THE LAST 100 F#%$ING YEARSS!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!! N
why is the idea of black autonomy in american society so offensive to people???
So weird he seems offended the drug dealer isn't Italian and perhaps that specific brand of "Blue magic" was more popular than the Italian product at that time and in that place with the other blacks in Harlem Frank would know his customer better perhaps too.
The real brains and leader of Frank Lucas drug ring was someone else. Not so flashy not so desperete for police attention...
Luckily Lucas did bring the heat on this very clever drug ring.
always saving democracy. Always in the name of democracy.
obviously not or is connected because he said some thing about u-haul which i think was yawl
To figure it out
Needs none more
1 100 1 100 both in between 1 100

Find out the rest.

Will love you

These comments are hilarious 😂😂😂
Hah. The TV has a report on vietnam while this is happening. I bet the screenwriter felt real proud of himself for that one.
Seriously though, that's some pretty good allegory for what was happening in the film at this time.
It also means that time is running out for Roberts, as there would be no more planes carrying heroin after the last U.S troops (and KIAs) have left.
@@HerrCherno You mean GIs?
@@Ryan88881 What part of my comment are you referring to?
@@HerrCherno Oh wait, did you actually mean dead bodies? I was referring to the KIA part and wonder why KIAs would be returning home then I remembered what happened in this scene lol
Very allegorical
Used to come into the key club!
Above the mafia lol not even close.
Above the Mafia "in the dope business". I'm the context of this movie it was an accurate statement even if they could've wiped him out without lifting a finger
The mafia didn’t really deal dope like that. Bad business
@@alexandersosa22 ahhh look up Matty Madonna and tell me they weren’t dealing dope again. Lol the East Harlem crew has been dealing dope since the 1940’s-50’s.
@@alexandersosa22 Yeah that's a myth, all of the 5 families sold drugs at one point or another. It even was the main source of income for one of them, the Bonannos.
@@yankees29 none of the 5 families condoned selling drugs, so they didn't take it that big, obviously some members still dealed drugs but not to the level of frank Lucas
No he wasn’t above the Mafia. He wasn’t even on the same level.
those two statements mean the same thing
@@scanneringdark4793 how exactly
@@sjacrane yeah because movies always accurately portray history
He was above the mafia. That's why them Wops snitched on Frank
I think that one detective was such an ass hole for for killing that dog
How much did Frank Lucas contribute to crack epidemic in America
Power pays
*SHUTDAFACKUP* 5:00
Does Mikey wear braces?
It’s always interesting how detached people are from history. This movie takes place in a time when that word is commonly used and not really frowned upon.
What, a word is going to kill you? Grow up and get over it.
Nothing would stop me from getting this clown for killing my dog nothing.
Yeah okay tough guy
I'm amazed how animals are so valued in America, not saying it's a bad or good thing but in my country we wouldn't even care if that dog was shot lol
Ah, a time before woke when you just fucking told it the way it is
Russell crow... Total miscast....
Why?
MICHAEL IS ABOVE THE MAFIA :)m
I fucking hated Trupo
They lied so much in this movie !!!!
All lies. Absolute bullshit.
@@patricklosi3358 ikr
It's purpose is entertainment. This isn't a documentary.
@@timkinley1779 yeah when it says " based on a true story "
Stop with the " Woke " bullshit. It was a total lie , frank Lucas was NOt big time and he was a Total SNITCH , the detective was the biggest addict in Harlem
@@timkinley1779 this is easily top 5 worst movies ever made ! And Denzel is easily top 5 worst actors of all time
such racist language man. it is hard to tell they are Christians by their love by their love
