Scarface's demise was he got high on his own supply. Nino Brown, on the other hand, got high on his own success. He relied on believing in his strength to make it the world. As a result, it leads to his downfall. Classic.
Ga5524 if it was a real Italian mafia that movie would've been over after Nino gave that Italian family smoke...them spaghetti head niggaz wouldve destroyed the C.M.B
My aunt took me and my cousin in the middle of a family vacation to see this. We just had to see it and we wouldn’t stop bugging her😂. Not to long after we made her take us to see Boyz In Tha Hood. I miss her
Always thought the soundtrack was the weakest part of the movie to be honest. Too much soft R&B, Ice-T's signature song was the one stand-out. Boyz 'N The Hood's soundtrack a few month later was much better. Did like Guy's title song though. :-)
@@Phoenix-xn3sf yeah right every track on that soundtrack was official. Esp the rap joints that track from 2 live crew was one of the deepest tracks on the album. Then the r&b joints balanced it out that soundtrack and the movie masterpieces.
I really enjoyed this documentary. Every aspect discussed I remember experiencing in the theatre as a 12 year old. The opening scene gave me goosebumps and I still felt it when Mario talked about it. This movie stayed on my mind for weeks after I watched it. It changed my life. Nino, Pookie, G Money, Keisha, all these characters were instant classics. Then Martin just crystallized its iconic status with his iconic tribute on his iconic show.
What a phenomenal directorial debut by a film director that left such a impact on a culture :-) very intriguing,the techniques done by van peebles,talk about being given lemons and making lemonade out of it,Mario said it best,boy did he improvise!!! Another extremely debut by ice T as well,you definitely believed his performance!! Brilliant how this film is a crime drama with a hip hop tone,very fresh!! This was the gangster genre anthem for me growing up,my scarface,my GoodFelllas,my godfather,me being a 80's baby. Thumbs up to Mario van peebles for not only directing my urban crime drama anthem but also my favorite western,which is extremely underrated and unappreciated,POSSE!!!!
Original creativity genius art a life lesson in the work of Mario Van Peebles and the rest of the actors and actress in new jack city truly one of kind.Most importantly a tribute a recognition to actor Bill Nunn and his entire Family God Bless.
New Jack City is that movie. Like the story was dope. Mario Van Peebles definitely did a good job bringin a dope cast because they got thier roles so perfect. This is a classic
Mario Van Peoples did his thing in this film making for the culture it will always be epic gold everything they talk wearing driving rappers doing now art repeating itself
Right on cue Henry Cooper. That's a lot for all these movie documentaries. Since I'm a screenwriter I take such a cool interest in how films are made as they get from the page to the screen. This is such great inspiration. =)
my favorite part "why i got to b owing u i was prom queen of king high school this os beneath me u used to be prom queen now u aint nothing but the prom feind
Damn I remember it like it was yesterday when this was about to come out cause I remember thinking that guy is the guy from the Bad video Michael Jackson and he was in a movie called Wild Cats before that who knew Wesley Snipe would become a mega 🌟 from those roles
Can we take a second to ADMIRE the fashion at that time?! The slacks😍 thick gold chains❤ and silk shirts🥰 Whew!!! G-Money absolutely created the word ZADDYYYYY🤗😍😍😍😍
Not sure how he would have survived being shot in the chest then falling multiple stories to a concrete ending. But hey its the movies unless the 2nd explores everything prior to the 1st. Now that would have been interesting to say the least!
All I can say is,...this movie was perfect.I can't think of anythink that they could have done differently to make the movie's character's more believable. Every single actor played their role to perfection. I almost wished for a sequel some years ago called 'New Jack City 2: Nino's Revenge'. I envisioned that Nino Brown survived falling over those stairs, lived and tried to get his revenge,...but some classics just need to end where they are and just remain untouchable like this one. One error I did notice in this documentary is when Mario starts talking about the scene where G Money shoots "Rasta Man" in the head. Mario is so excited about describing the scene that he keeps referring to him as "Fat Smitty". LOL! "Fat Smitty" was actually the character that Nino Brown takes from The Carter and walks down the street naked. I don't know how much they paid the guy to do that scene but I remember in the ending credits of the movie he didn't use his actual name. Probably to avoid future embarrassment no doubt. If I remember correctly his name in the credits was 'Eek-A-Mouse'.
A classic indeed ! Wesley Snipes was so good in this movie that I just can’t see him out of character. All the others were amazing too but Wesley made the film happen.
I didn't always appreciate this movie. I thought it was gratuitously violent, (it is) and diametrically opposed to what I want to see for my fellow black people. But it was and remains a reality. This is in fact one of the grittiest movies on the subject. I know for a fact that even with all its problems it's still a classic being both a product and ahead of its time
To add who are fans or need research on the bike scene used into the film, dig over the famous car chases e.g. French Connection, Diva, Bullitt, Beverly Hills Cop, The Getaway, etc
Wesley Snipes was reportedly disappointed with how the film turned out, can't really tell from this interview but once you know you can see it slightly cracking through. He still sells the hell out of it though.
Nothing compared to Wesley in Sugar Hill. He had a heart,he had integrity, and It's almost like they ignored that role purposely in order to maintain his image as a heartless bm. He was handsome,kind, gentle and ruthless in Sugar Hill and they hate to portray bm as multi faceted as that. Sugar Hill was a great portrayal of bm that are gangsters, trying to escape the life and live normal.
Using the music to market the film..... Batman soundtrack by Prince in 1989 comes to mind.... I think it weren't that unique Wesley.... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)... Ghostbusters 2 (1989)....
Like Welsney Snipes said (not verbatim): Hopefully you get something out of this movie. Hopefully there is something to get out of this movie for generations to come. Yeah absolutely! There is a message: Have no part of drugs: The interest of getting high of drugs or the greed from the business of it! The business of drug dealing and doing drugs has not improved at all in this day and age, it's probably gotten much worse, so the hope is that this movie gives some insight on all of that.
Great you came at the right place my friend...According to actor/director Mario Van Peebles plus on the DVD commentary which is available too on the Special Edition 2-DVD set. There's some cool history and moments behind it all as well with the bike chase scene (sorta a'la French Connection meets Diva, I suggest you check out both movies)
Go to Amazon or Ebay to buy the physical 2-DVD set (e.g. the first disc contains DVD commentary, trailer, etc. plus the second disc contains all or most the special features) or check your local media store or local library. Same goes for the other two movies I last mentioned e.g. French Connection and Diva.
That movie practically made New York Undercover
Imagine Nino Brown going against another drug lord Danny Up. Ice-T played the HELL out that role.
I was thinking the same thing. Without this, NY Undercover would've been a fanciful dream
@@Four6Three1Two Danny Up was the New Jack character if he wasn't a cop...essentially if Nino was played by Ice T
This is why I miss DVD’s. The special features that came with it. 💿📀
Um, DVDs are still highly available. Lol...
No more movies like these today
hella facts everything soft and for the fruits.
Paid in full
Scarface's demise was he got high on his own supply. Nino Brown, on the other hand, got high on his own success. He relied on believing in his strength to make it the world. As a result, it leads to his downfall. Classic.
So so true!
Ga5524 if it was a real Italian mafia that movie would've been over after Nino gave that Italian family smoke...them spaghetti head niggaz wouldve destroyed the C.M.B
Even Nino Brown was doing the stuff once things went south.
Greed killed Tony
Wesley actually went and did his research.. Fucken amazing.. He put in the work..
R.I.P Duh Duh Man.
I didn't even know he died until people were saying RIP. sucks he was a good actor.
46ixer holy shit he died? Damn yo that's sad when did he died?
Keith Witcher oh yeah now i remember.
Bill Nunn aka Radio Raheem aka duh duh man was a great actor. He loved everything and everyone.
Bill Nunn, Pittsburgh's (Hill District) own...We will miss you Bruh !!!
One of the greatest movies of all time!
Wesley Snipes will be remembered for this movie more than any other movie he does
Blade. All the fanboys and comic book geeks across the globe beg to differ. Lol
Most important role Wesley ever did
I loved Snipes as Nino....but that ninja is Blade frfr 😂
BLADE!!!!
I love Mario's energy you can tell he is so passionate bout makin this film. That's why NJC was a great movie
My aunt took me and my cousin in the middle of a family vacation to see this. We just had to see it and we wouldn’t stop bugging her😂. Not to long after we made her take us to see Boyz In Tha Hood. I miss her
Yep I remember, they came out close to each other... How old were you then ?
Y'all was lucky.
Everything aligned (actors, setting, 90's era, director etc.) and it will forever be a classic.
That Bike Chase is classic
Rock a bye baby... ~Keisha
kidnamek69 Smitty...ya bum buk lodge
Hahaa, my shit. 😂
New Jack City is still Dope what a Classic.
Judd Nelson was so underrated in this movie
Yes!!
May You Soul, Rest In Peace George Jackson.
(1958-2000)
This stellar move with an all star cast and a platinum selling soundtrack still stands through the test of time. 📺🎞💿🎼
No one else could have played Nino but Wesley.
What about the soundtrack !!!!????? This movie is a masterpiece
Ernesto Caro both the film and soundtrack are considered masterpieces in its entirety!
I played out this soundtrack. Every joint was dope
Always thought the soundtrack was the weakest part of the movie to be honest. Too much soft R&B, Ice-T's signature song was the one stand-out. Boyz 'N The Hood's soundtrack a few month later was much better. Did like Guy's title song though. :-)

Mario van pebbles is awesome for this. This is how you do a documentary. Show us the locations walk us through it all, so awesome
I agree 100 %
💯💯💯
Chris rock the Best crack head ever in a movie lol classic movie
Khalieff Alegend Nawl that’s Isaiah from Friday 😂🤣
Late comment but I back this.
Chris Rock as Pookie was great but I have to give nod to Samuel L. Jackson as Gator. Guess it helps that Sam actually was on crack at the time.
@@LogicalArtist And, Sam was fresh out of rehab when he started doing "Jungle Fever."
“Wesley was the least famous guy on the set.” At the time so were you too Chris
Wesley went from playing a cop in King of New York in 1990 to playing Nino Brown in New Jack City.
G The Genius Beats don't forget sugar hill
Nikko Oulds Jr and Mo Better Blues. 1990
Nino brown was forced into the life of crime
And Willie Mays Hayes in Major League.
You forget Michael Jackson gave him his big break in the Bad video
I was honoured to see this in this in the cinema the day it was released
What a phenomenal directorial debut by a film director that left such a impact on a culture :-) very intriguing,the techniques done by van peebles,talk about being given lemons and making lemonade out of it,Mario said it best,boy did he improvise!!!

this teaches u a lot about directing
this movie made Chris Rock
Original creativity genius art a life lesson in the work of Mario Van Peebles and the rest of the actors and actress in new jack city truly one of kind.Most importantly a tribute a recognition to actor Bill Nunn and his entire Family God Bless.
I noticed Wesley even before he did Michael Jackson's video.
I just finished watching this classic...✊
Allen Payne got swole for this one. He was at his best.
New Jack City is that movie. Like the story was dope. Mario Van Peebles definitely did a good job bringin a dope cast because they got thier roles so perfect. This is a classic
RIP Duh Duh Man
*R.I.P. Bill Nunn
Mario Van Peoples did his thing in this film making for the culture it will always be epic gold everything they talk wearing driving rappers doing now art repeating itself
I LOVE THE WAY HE EXPLAINS HIS WRK- HE'S A FCKIN LEGEND 😎
Right on cue Henry Cooper. That's a lot for all these movie documentaries. Since I'm a screenwriter I take such a cool interest in how films are made as they get from the page to the screen. This is such great inspiration. =)
I love Mario's passion almost like Quentin Tarantino's passion
my favorite part "why i got to b owing u i was prom queen of king high school this os beneath me u used to be prom queen now u aint nothing but the prom feind

One of my all time top 10 movies

Me 5
From drug dealin to vampire huntin nino brown is the real G

This is a super classic movie
Nothing like it to this day in time! Shoutout to Mario Van Pebbles 🎦💯📽📽!
Can we take a second to ADMIRE the fashion at that time?! The slacks😍 thick gold chains❤ and silk shirts🥰 Whew!!! G-Money absolutely created the word ZADDYYYYY🤗😍😍😍😍
A great movie , Great job by everyone
this is my all time favorite along with set it off
Love this documentary and the movie,,forever..Super classic..
I grow up on this movie as a kid a classic. PapAGlenn
Glen Sterwert me too
I'm glad Wesley turned down the offer to do New Jack City 2.
Not sure how he would have survived being shot in the chest then falling multiple stories to a concrete ending. But hey its the movies unless the 2nd explores everything prior to the 1st. Now that would have been interesting to say the least!
Chris Johnson. Is there a newjack city 2 .... I didn't hear anything about it...
Christopher Williams came to Wesley twice with the idea and a check for $600g. Wesley passed on it.
Didnt we already get a New Jack City 2 with that Bow Wow album?
maybe if it was as good as Godfather ||
i will never call van pebbles corny again..
Awesome documentary!
All I can say is,...this movie was perfect.I can't think of anythink that they could have done differently to make the movie's character's more believable.

If I remember correctly his name in the credits was 'Eek-A-Mouse'.
If I'm not mistaken, I think the fat naked man you're referring to was named Frazier.
Eek-A-Mouse was Fat Smitty, the rasta man that G-Money deletes in the movie. He's a reggae singer too.
Im so glad I watched this
Lots of truths in this movie that are still true today especially Neno Brown testimony on the witness stand at the end
lmao Mario Van Peebles still rocing tanktops #stillgotit
really good to see this, one of my favorite films - had it on video tape and recently bought it on DVD to keep. great flick.
A classic indeed ! Wesley Snipes was so good in this movie that I just can’t see him out of character. All the others were amazing too but Wesley made the film happen.
Nino Brown: Sit yo' five dollar ass down before I make change
Great Movie-Classic
I love the movie .. Good job..
This was great. I like the background on the movie info. Very well done.
the force who makes slaves out of men is the exact line in the song flying high in the friendly sky Marvin my favorite composer
I didn't always appreciate this movie. I thought it was gratuitously violent, (it is) and diametrically opposed to what I want to see for my fellow black people. But it was and remains a reality.

Two classy actors plaid the druglords and the rapper played the cop
1 of my favorite movies
Just finished watching my 1st time good movie
Wesley Snipes look like he still dressed in character, this dude was still Nino Brown in this interview lmao
True
Nino and Gee Money were like the modern Macbeth and Duncan. Only Duncan didn't turn on him.
like Michael betray Fredo on The Godfather
Leroy Maxwell II That was just.... damn. The kiss of death. "You broke my heart!"
Like Rico betrayed on Paid in Full and like Bishop betrays Raheem on Juice
Leroy Maxwell II Paid in full , New Jack city , and Juice are based off of the same people
No its not. New Jack City is based off the Chambers Brothers in Detroit. SMH........
this is so cold
Nothing compared to Wesley in Sugar Hill. He had a heart,he had integrity, and It's almost like they ignored that role purposely in order to maintain his image as a heartless bm. He was handsome,kind, gentle and ruthless in Sugar Hill and they hate to portray bm as multi faceted as that. Sugar Hill was a great portrayal of bm that are gangsters, trying to escape the life and live normal.
Super Props & Big Thank you for this post. Big piece of our Melnated Brothas and Sistas Culture. Right out the horse's mouth!
Wesley Snipes speaks well
Gee money was a badass and Nino Brown
Using the music to market the film..... Batman soundtrack by Prince in 1989 comes to mind.... I think it weren't that unique Wesley.... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)... Ghostbusters 2 (1989)....
Love it love it! Fantastic.
Where was Christopher Williams
CLASSIC MOVIE
Like Welsney Snipes said (not verbatim): Hopefully you get something out of this movie. Hopefully there is something to get out of this movie for generations to come. Yeah absolutely!

Chris Rock Is too funny in this. Lol
I just got through watching it again on TH-cam, legendary man legendary.
Great Movie
The 1st movie I saw ar the movies a classic
Love this movie
Yes but its been well deserved support! Those actors took the ball from there and ran with it! Lol!
Where are the comments on Mario's parenting skills?
Funny how things works out. Mario did his thing.
Only took 36 days to make that’s no time to make a classic film like NJC
Classic!
Trying to find out how they did the bridge scene the very beginning of the movie.
Great you came at the right place my friend...According to actor/director Mario Van Peebles plus on the DVD commentary which is available too on the Special Edition 2-DVD set. There's some cool history and moments behind it all as well with the bike chase scene (sorta a'la French Connection meets Diva, I suggest you check out both movies)

So Chris rock turns into Mario in lethal weapon!
Pookie!
