Hard to believe this movie is 50 years old. Saw this joint when it came out at The Nixon Theater West Philly. This is when gang war was at its peak. I was 11 years old and can relate to this scene.
No videogames, no online porn, always out and yeah the parents back then weren't great either. They just make it seem like parents were. In fact back then more parents were cheating and doing drugs
Nope, them trademarks were from a time that wasn’t stupid enough for selfies. Stupid in its own way, but never did they imagine how soft and ill informed people would become.
I grew in fort green as well, my apartment overlooked the monument. must have walked a million times through that park. Brings back a shit load of memories.
NYC was renown for that. Probably the only cities on the planet that came close were São Paulo and Naples (Italy). All three cities were essentially defined by gang activity.
@@MacMac1313 You're right. I should have included LA. I guess realistically all major metro areas across the world have had the same problem. They just aren't as notorious to us perhaps.
It's also stupid af that black fraternities have "jumped in" pledges. College students are supposed to be our social elite, and some of them have chosen to engage in that foul behavior.
Same, for all the the years I've been listening to Ironman I only thought of looking up the film today! Downloading it as we speak 😁 There are also clips from the 90s anime Crying Freeman on "Assassination Day", which I have seen, and apparently another 70s film called JD's Revenge on "Wildflower", I need to watch that one too.
Same. No idea for years, then one day it comes up on my feed. I fully intend to watch many films from this era. If ya'll got some suggestions I would really appreciate it.
😂😂😂most cats didn't even know he was talking about General Hospital in the 70s. Soap opera. Always love that line. 90s hip hop has some of the most quotable verses of all time. I can't name no era that has more. Not even 80s hip hop
Yeah, that Luke and Laura shit was deep. General Hospital shit. Luke was on the run for years lol, him and Laura was running from everybody: mobsters, the law, debters...@TheDumontShow
The initiation scene was filmed in Fort Greene in Brooklyn at the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument. The monument was built to honor the deaths of over 10K colonial citizens who died in British captivity after they were captured during (or after) the Battle of Long Island. The environment in the park eventually "was tough" for local residents in the 1970s and 1980s, was full of graffiti, and suffered through "...some of the worst years of the crack era..." until it got cleaned up in the 2000s.
I lived right near that park when I moved to Brooklyn (S. Oxford bet DeKalb and Lafayette). It was tough, no doubt, but anyone calling it a "shithole" is broadcasting who and what they are.
I mean, the term shithole is subjective. People call NYC a shithole entirely. Fort Greene was defined by violent crime and the crack epidemic for years. Born and raised in Brooklyn and patrolled South Baghdad. If you asked me to pick 1990s Fort Greene or 2006 Baghdad, I'm picking Baghdad 10/10 because at least I'd be armed. Sorry you're offended but the rocks of reality can be jagged. It's better now but history says it has a violent and criminal past. Can't sugarcoat that part, sorry.
@@ProspectFilmRoom Interesting that you'd be afraid in Fort Greene Park as a grown man. I was there as a kid 13/14 in some of the worst years of the crack era without a gun or anything else. Again, you reveal who and what you are by your statements.
@@JoaquinTazabi Listen, I get the fact that you're offended somebody insulted your old neighborhood, but I never said all of Fort Greene was shitty...just the park which is 100000 percent true. You also kinda self-owned yourself by denying it was a shithole then somehow bragging about you being brave enough to walk the streets as a teenager during a crack epidemic. That is, unless you truly think a crack epidemic simply makes a neighborhood "tough" instead of shitty. Nobody can rewrite Fort Greene's history, even those who lived there. And now it's gentrified as fuck with multi-million--dollar brownstones, so how do you like them apples?
The actor who superbly played the young Sonny Carson is named Thomas Hicks. The only credits he has on imdb ("Thomas Hicks (I)") are this and a directing credit from 2009 for a video called "Unicycle Film." "Two unicyclists join together and fall in love in a forest." Okay, WTF? I have so many questions.
1:19 bro told dude he could be one of the girls.. pause.. so ya got boys who ya put with the girls group already or ya got a group of boys ya call "the girls" like pause
there ain't a SINGLE LICK of Hip-Hop in this 1974 movie which makes me think the 1973 Hiphop narrative is a lie. them broke Dudes couldn't afford DJ equipment until after stealing it in the 1977 blackout so THAT's when it all started.
Sonny had on a choker underneath his button down. His outfit was fly. Not to mention the fact that he pulled up to the mill to get jumped in rocking a cardigan! Obviously no one informed him of the appropriate dress code for such an event. Peace to Akbar. He was a serious cat. Rest in power.
Fuckin sexy the way the bus scolls in and dude jumps off the back as his intro! Also, this dude reeeealy wanted to be in that gang goin through that old mill. he got heart tho
Wow, that kid reminds me of Darius McCray aka Eddie Winslow from family matters. But he wasn't even born yet... This movie came out in 1974 and he wasn't born until 1976.
