Beef, Vol. 3

Product Description

Running Time 84 Min

System Requirements:
RESPECT...In hip-hop it's the name of the game. Some rappers will do anything to get it, even starting a BEEF with another rapper or crew...and that can lead to raw, brutal conflict in the streets. In fact BEEF has become so common that it is quickly becoming the fifth element of Hip-hop, right beside MCs, DJs, graffiti and breakdancing.

"Beef 3" is about the high-profile Beefs in the hip-hop culture. Beefs are started when one rapper disses another for whatever reason, usually to get the upper hand with the fans or to show their machismo. This program features Beefs between 50 Cent and Game, Lil Flip and TI, Nelly and Chingy, Twista and Bone Thugz, Lil Scrappy and the Orlando Police and many more.

What's Beef?.......2006-06-17

Hot movie. Beefs I liked were "50 VS Bang 'Em Smurf & Domination" and "Game VS Yukmouth" 50 Loses on every beef he comes up in, with exception of Ja Fool and Bitch-Zino (see Beef 1)

Only beefs that I hated were "Chingy VS Nelly" and "Twista VS Bone Thugs" Don't get me wrong I LOVE Bone Thugs music 2 death and Twista is iight but their beef was just stupid and almost nothing so there wasn't a point in showing it. AS for Chingy and Nelly, that is probably the next "NSYNC VS Backstreet Boys" type beef hahaha.

Go pick this dvd up now if you didn't already!

Almost hated it.......2006-03-29

I guess what they say about sequels is true. Beef went downhill since the first one. This vol. as far as I'm concerned has nothin' to offer. I watched it 3x and tried to like it. High and drunk 1 out of 3 and still wanted to frisbee this s***. The 50 and Smurf beef was a waste of space. I hate the way it is so damn one sided. If they couldn't get 50 side of the story for this beef or the one with Game, then it should'nt have been included. You only got one side of the story. And just to prove how stupid them n****s is. How you gon pay to see 50 show start a fight and then get your a** arrested. That's why them n****s will stay in the ghetto and never make it cause they so damn stupid. Chingy vs. Nelly. A wack rapper dissin another wack rapper. Why was this even added? TI and Luda. Damn son, I don't know but if that was me I would have put out a big a** diss anyway. Lil Scrappy and the muthaf***in' COPS?! What the hell does that got to do with beef in the industry? What does that got to do with this DVD? Nothin', just a waste of time. TI and Lil flip was a good story. That had somethin' to do with hip hop. Flip said some s***, Ti got on stage and did his damn thing. The Yukmouth and Game was the best one. Them n****s got at each other and stayed on record. Game and 50 could have gotten way the f*** outta hand but it didn't. But once again the best they could do with 50 side of the story was a recording and a live tape. So what was the point of that? I heard 50 side of the story more from the NY daily news, and that's not a rap magazine, journal, or a free dvd comes with a free t-shirt type s***. This whole dvd is damn near pointless to include the features. And once again QD3 has yet to provide the story of beef between establish artist who have been around for more than 3-5 years. Such as MC Eiht vs. DJ Quik, Kim and Foxy, NAS and Cormega. Yo I just hope this is the last one. A complete disappointment.

Oooh, juicy.......2006-03-09

I always wondered why I never heard T.I.'s response to Ludacris' rhyme on Young Buck's album. Ludacris' response was dope though...especially the "t.i.p. of..." part. I'm scratching my head over the beef with Game and dude from "Five on It." If "Five on it" and him agreed that everything was cool, why did Game come at him like that? It sounded like they were telling TWO completely different stories...and nothing matched. The story about Bang 'em Up, Smurf and 50 Cent...wow. That was wild. Now I understand the part in 50 Cent's movie that Terrance Howard played. Sounds like Smurf was a little over the top, but still had his boy's back...so I have mixed feelings on that one. But as for the guy who said "his bodyguard TRIED to throw a chair"...yeah right, that guard THREW that chair HARD. I don't understand their purpose of coming to the concert to meanmug dude. If you're mad at him, you coming to his concert is only putting money in his pocket...how dumb is that?

What really interested me though was the beef between Royce Da 5'9 and Eminem. I bought Royce's album and I thought it was pretty average but after I heard the beef and his album played in the background, I realized I slept on it and plan to rebuy it again. The part about making sure the shooter can aim now makes sense to me, because when I saw it in Eight Mile I was lost. I'm assuming Bugs was the slow dude in Eminem's movie...anyway, I'm glad they could get past their differences.

As for T.I. and the Lucky Charms guy, you know, I thought Lucky Charms couldn't find his brain if his hand was right on his head, but from watching this interview, the dude got a lot more sense than I thought he did. I was shocked.

This whole tape was entertaining. I originally saw it on BET, but after Beef II and Beef III aired, I had to get 'em all. The first one is still my favorite because of Common, but they were all really good.

And as for Nelly, he was DEAD WRONG for that situation with Chingy. That rhyme was straight-up disrespectful. #1 You can't invent a slang term like "dirty" which was used WAY before him. Just because he didn't use it in a rhyme doesn't mean he didn't know the word. #2 Chingy came to him like a man and Nelly acted like a child. #3 Why is the tall dude even on that tape? Chingy wasn't even referencing him...and then the dude pronounced Kum-ba-ya wrong and I was threw! I laughed at him through the rest of the interview. Nelly's reaction made me not want to buy his next album...and judging from how wack "Sweat" and "Suit" was, I probably won't.

Nomuthafukkingoddamtitle.......2006-03-07

To the 2 reviewers who said 50 and game are still beefin but not on here,dude look at the f*ckin special features,click on "GAME DISSES 50 CENT AT SUMMER JAM" right there,so shut your potholes.

good.......2006-02-26

it is a good documentary but i think it should have 50 cent's side of the story on the beef with the game.

The title says it all: Tupac Shakur was as much angel as outlaw. Unlike some of the other profiles made in the wake of his passing, Thug Angel doesn't focus only on the first few days of his career or the last few days before his death, but on his entire life. That makes it valuable as much for the fan as for the merely curious. The production was backed by friends and associates and includes never-before-seen material. It's surprisingly evenhanded, juxtaposing footage of Tupac at 17, for example--sounding mature beyond his years--with an interview conducted years later on a shooting range. Passion was still in full effect, but idealism had been replaced by paranoia. Peter Spirer's film is a documentary, not a music video, and contains only snippets of Tupac's work. At its best, Thug Angel makes a compelling case for his continued relevance as an artist and activist. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Description

In the $3 billion industry of hip-hop music, no one has touched as many lives with a microphone as Tupac Shakur. In this never-before-seen footage, see Tupac at seventeen, a young man at the edge of his destiny, speaking out about injustice on the streets of Oakland. See him at the brink of his stardom, kickin' freestyles with Treach, Biggie and Grand Puba. See him at the shooting range, at home, at the highs and lows of his career, as a man constantly plagued by and provoking the media. See Tupac as never seen before, as the people closest to him knew him. See him as Thug Angel. Directed by Academy Award nominee Peter Spirer (Rhyme and Reason), Thug Angel takes you beyond the drama of Tupac's notoriety in the press through all-new interviews with friends, collaborators and scholars as they look back on Tupac and define his legacy today. 92 minutes.

"This ain't no democracy.".......2004-12-19

The documentary "Tupac Shakur: Thug Angel" takes a deconstructionist approach to analyzing the Rap superstar. Was Tupac a thug whose life ended in an uncanny replication of his lyrics, or was Tupac Shakur, a revolutionary with anarchistic beliefs? With these two diametrically opposed images, the filmmaker deconstructs Tupac's life while exploring both possibilities. As a result, this thought-provoking documentary offers a great deal of insight into a life that so often hit the front page.

Tupac, named after a Bolivian revolutionary, was born into a troubled family--his mother was a Black Panther, and other relatives served jail time. One relative even received political asylum from Cuba. By the time Tupac was a teenager, he was no stranger to poverty, and frequent moves across country finally left him living in Marin County. The film includes an interview with a 17-year old Tupac, and it's clear from the statements he makes that he's intelligent, idealistic, respectful towards women and very socially conscious. It is difficult to align these early statements of Tupac with some of the film's later interviews. Within a few years, now famous, Tupac's world view is much harder. There's one scene of him toting a weapon in a shooting range, and one senses he is preparing for the big showdown he is sure is in his future. It is at this point that Tupac makes several anarchistic statements: "The police ain't nothing but a gang. The National Guard ain't nothing but a gang. The army ain't nothing but a gang." But it's also quite clear from the documentary's investigation of Tupac's past why he felt this way. Tupac noted that even Dan Quayle took the time at the Republican Convention to lob a verbal attack against the rapper, and as his acquaintances realised, Tupac interpreted this attention to be devastatingly significant.

The documentary includes many interviews with those who knew Tupac best--relatives, former manager Leila Steinberg, Quincy Jones, and fellow rappers. The film touches on Tupac's Death Row Records contract, and the feud with Biggie. He is described by those who loved him as "the hardest working man in hip hop." "Tupac Shakur: Thug Angel" is a fascinating account of the rapper's brief and brilliant life, and as an attempt to unravel the mystery of Tupac's two sides, I think the film succeeds quite well. The DVD also contains a booklet that highlights key points in Tupac's personal life and his career--displacedhuman

2Pac the Prophet, The Father, and the Spirit of Hip-Hop.......2004-12-05

As to say this, I can't get my eyes on Tupac. 'Cuz he had a lot going on in his life, you know what I'm mean. You see Tupac will be telling a lot of stories of his past when he begin writing poetry at a early age, learn to act, and how to be a superstar in the rap business. Yeah Tupac been gone for 7 or 8 years now, but in 10 years he'll be remember 'cuz he modered a generation for the hip-hop community. I also a lot of people from that culture to Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, JFK, RFK, and on and on.

Now a lot of people are still talking about him and how he became a part of our culture. That's why he lived his life the way he live b/c of the fight with Biggie, the East Coast/West Coast rap war, how he got arrested, been in jail all of his life, need I say more?

Nobody even care on how he lived or how he died. He help changed that by putting it into his lyrics. The reason why I love him the most is there's nobody like him like Jada Pinkett Smith "There's nobody, nobody like that man. I don't care how many records you sell. I don't care how popular you are..."
You know Tupac lives on and he'll always will be to the fullest.

For those of ya'll are missing out a lot of good information about this icon, I urge you to check him out. He's one of the greats that put it on since Martin Luther King and Malcolm X we learned back in the day.

Description

Despite being a normal student, Kamiyama finds himself in the most delinquent high school in Tokyo. He soon becomes the leader of the thugs and morons that populate the school and tries to improve the school, Loaded with sketches, in-jokes, parodies and run-ins with all sorts of tough types who eventually are defeated through the sheer laziness and weirdness of the students. CROMARTIE HIGH began as a successful absurdist manga by Eiji Nonaka and then a 26-episode anime from Production I.G (Otogi Zoshi, Kill Bill).

Not bad live action version of surreal anime.......2007-09-09

The trouble with making movies based on TV series is that there has to be a strong central plot in a movie that also justifies any duplication of what took place in the TV series, be it live-action or animated. But if the central plot is weak enough and only for the sake of having the skits based on the TV series as highlights, then the movie fails.

Cromartie High School, based on the manga by Nonaka Eiji, avoids much of that. It parallels the original story, being about a normal student, Kamiyama Takeshi, who was smart enough to apply to any high school, but went to Cromartie because he wanted to be with friend of his who defended him from punks. Trouble was, his friend was so lacking in the brain department, he failed, leaving Kamiyama amidst a jungle of rowdy students who fight, smoke, and are sans clothes; in a scene that duplicates the manga, a tough named Masa eats an entire stack of pencils Kamiyama spills on his desk.

There are some variations from the manga and anime. Hayashida, he with the wild pink Mohawk hairdo in the original, instead is seen with a kind of ponytail. He is also portrayed as someone who is repeatedly late for class and who is so dumb that his math book is titled "Subtraction for Sillies." And the portrayal of Freddy isn't too much like Freddie Mercury per the manga. OK, he doesn't say a word per the manga Freddie, but a few bouts of singing would've helped. Obviously, Mechazawa, the simplistically designed cylindrical robot with red T-shirt with the characters "konjou" or "guts" is duplicated well enough.

Then there's long-haired preppy-looking Hokuto Takeshi of the Hokuto conglomerate. He wears a white elite high school uniform, clueless that CHS is a municipal school, and proclaims himself student leader. He tries to wriggle out of his dilemma by telling outlandish stories of trying to overthrow his father, the shadow prime minister. Guess what? Kamiyama, Hayashida, Freddy, and the gorilla join him, and they form the Earth Defense Forces, marching through town in khaki uniforms as heroes of justice.

And when Cromartie's toughest thug, Yutaka Takenouchi, gets involved with two hijackers, he is stranded somewhere in South America, captured by a primitive tribe, and set out to be the husband of a b^tt-ugly native woman who looks like Ronnie Corbett from the Two Ronnies, even down to the glasses. His replacement is one of the hijackers, who wears a ski-mask, but the students are too dumb to know that he's an imposter, so he is accepted as Mask de Takenouchi.

The central plot involves the arrival of gorilla-like aliens, Gori and Lla (get it?) who are a nod to the cheesy Japanese sci-fi shows or movies of the 60's and 70's, who want to take over the earth, and do so by enslaving the delinquents. Before long, the shirtless delinquents are sporting antennae headbands and doing exercises and routines that obviously parody the Shaolin kung-fu films.

As for real laughs, there is an Exorcist parody involving Mechazawa who pukes green and even emits the profanities uttered by Linda Blair, as well as the brightly lit doorway scene. And the part where Kamiyama tries to educate his classmates on the dangers of smoking is a highlight, at the expense of Masa and Mechazawa. It shows how delinquents think smoking is cool, but they need something to do with their hands.

Some scenes are duplicated but fail due to the real-life portrayal. The scene of the show Pootan, the surreal comedy of two guys dressed in plush suits, and Noboru Yamaguchi, the Afro-ed punk who tries to figure out why Pootan is popular, seems pointless due to lacking real oomph.

Takamasa Suga is the heart of this movie as the straight-laced Kamiyama, and does a bang-up portrayal of the manga and anime counterpart. Kaneko Noburu as Hokuto does the manga Hokuto pretty good. It helps if you've seen the anime or read the manga, but if not, it might catch you in a silly frame of mind.

Simply Awesome!.......2007-01-11

This movie is hilarious. I watched it without having read the manga or seeing the anime first, and I ended up laughing a lot. Cromartie High in any format is just incredibly funny, and this movie lives up to the manga extremely well. I don't know what kind of humor you'd classify it as, but it's great.

To put it shortly, the main characters, Kamiyama, transfers into Cromartie High to be with his friend (Tak Sakaguchi), who fails the entrance exam. Kamiyama is left alone to deal with this crazy school which is filled with some of the worst teenage thugs in Japan. But not only does it have thugs, it has a gorilla, a robot who doesn't know he's a robot, and a shirtless guy named "Freddie" who walks around wearing leather pants and sometimes rides a horse. The movie does have a sort of semi-continuous story, but it's also got a lot of elements from the manga, such as Takenuchi's motion-sickness adventure.

If you're a fan of Cromartie High, you must have this. If you're not, you should give it a try anyway.

Did not Like.......2007-06-27

I am an ETERNAL Tupac fan and this video is about 85% interviews with people who KNEW him and 15% Pac! I would have rathered it be the other way around.

pointless.......2005-05-07

imagine that you make it real big and die. THEN they go back to an old neighborhood you lived in and do interviews. that's all this is. people talking about pac. it was whack in my opinion cause for one a LOT of haters came out of nowhere talking mad noise about him. the thing is they were all rappers at one time so it came off to me as them being mad they were still in the same spot. one dude even said pac deserved to be shot. you want a real documentary then i recommend thug angel or Resurrection.

Don't Get Mugged by Thug Life.......2005-03-06

This video is a collection of interviews with minor characters in Tupac's life. Tupac never shows up in it! What they had to say about the performer could have been condensed into a 10 minute production--if that. Your money is much better spent buying the Tupac Resurrection video, which is really very good and actually has Tupac giving the interviews.

Trust me, This Video/DVD sucks. .......2005-03-03

Im a huge 2Pac fan, and Im here to tell ya' dont waste your money on this video/DVD. Its basically just no-thrills video footage of some old friends of Pacs from Baltimore, hanging around their neighborhood talking about Pac, some of their memories are funny and its amusing watching them clown around telling their stories, but most of it is entirely forgettable. Theres a few home made video segments that Pac and his boys took of each other back in the day, but nothing too great. If youre a crazy Pac fan that must own everything with his name attached to it, then go ahead and buy this Video/DVD. But, if youre just a big fan of Pacs who wants to pick up a video/DVD about him, I recommend the Tupac Movie documentary "Tupac/Resurrection" which is really a must own for any real 2Pac fan. Also although not all about just Tupac himself "welcome to Death Row" is interesting to watch, but do yourself a favor and save your money rather then spend it on this video/DVD. Trust me people, this video/DVD sucks, dont believe any of the reviews that said it was great or whatever. Pac himself would be the first to blast on this video/DVD saying that its garbage.

Definitely a Must-Own.......2004-12-05

This is one of my favorites I picked at Wal-Mart. 'cuz it's the 1st documentary I ever picked and own by my man 2Pac who is an inspiration to me. I luv him the way since he started off as a rapper, a activist, and then an actor. I actually seen Welcome to Death Row, Tupac Shakur-Thug Angel:The Life of an Outlaw, Tupac:Resurrection (which I haven't seen but look forward of getting it into my collection), I mean there are a lot more documentaries I seen asides this one. Tupac will always live on in my heart and soul. Rest in peace, baby your spirit and your music lives on.

Si alguna vez lees esto Edgar, tu amigo Marco A. del colegio en Ecuador te pide que hagas algo mas fidedigno, no he visto la pelicula pero las criticas lo dicen mucho.

Maybe next time you'll have your own revenge with yourself buddy, poor try, but I repeat again, next time bro just for this cause.

horrible movie!!!!!.......2005-08-06

I like to first start off that I'm Latino and love Latino cinema and movies about Latino urban life such as Blood in, Blood out. I enjoy many movies and a very easy critic. This movie is horrible. Very low budget. I think the film crew had about 2 cameras. I took two years of film making in high school and if I had there equipment, with thier so-so actors, I can make a better movie than this. There's one scene were the two guys and two girls are talking and all the camera man does is rotate around them!!! No close ups, MDs, no mixing anything up. This combined with lame dialog, and sterotypical Californian Mexican acting. The director and producer have Latino last names and they potrayed our people really bad. And what's up with the title??? Just by reading the title "Hood Rats" and looking at the cover I thought it was about Latina gang-bangers or bust downs in the hood. None what so ever!!! LAME!

Hood Rats.......2005-04-30

Zero Stars!!! The Director & Studio Exec who made this movie should be shot. This movie is the absolute worst movie I ever saw. This movie is a disgrace to the Hispanic Race. Even Gang Bangers should be ashamed!!!!!!

horrible excuse for a movie.......2005-01-16

hoodrats is about these two guys who constantly get in trouble with the law. a figure named jimmy, whom i don't believe that they specified how he was related to these guys, has a "package" that he is delivering to the two young men, who have no clue as to what is inside, or so they say. the police find them on the street and question them about this package. they deny knowing anything about it and get a little abused by the police. after they are let out they find two young women, whom came off to me as prostitutes, and pick them up. as things are getting steamy in the boys' house, two ex-cons break in, armed with guns and knives, for this "package." they deny knowing anything about it and the scene goes on for nearly a half hour with the men threatening to rape one of the women and pointing their guns at the boys. somehow they manage to get away and kill the two ex-cons and dump them off on the highway. the movie ends with the two boys on the same street as the beginning, and jimmy comes up to them to tell them that he dropped off the package at the wrong adress. then three girls(the ones on the cover) pass by them and the movie ends. i have seen many movies, good and bad, but this had to be the worst movie i have ever seen. the camera wasn't very steady, as when the angle is from one of the criminals' view as it is moving back and forth among the people in the room it is very shaky and not done right. also the movie had almost no point, and made hardly any sense whatsoever. i found myself falling asleep throughout the movie but stayed awake to see the pathetic ending. also the three ladies on the cover are not seen in the movie until the end, where they only walk by and aren't even in any closeups. i rented this movie because it seemed like the teen movie thirteen, but was nothing of the sort. i recommend you stay away from this movie; the $5 rental isn't worth it.

It has enough suspense and mystery to keep you wondering and glued to the screen.......2006-03-24

With the collapse of Communism in Poland, the people who formally had power now fear others finding their dirty deeds. "Dismissed From Life" is about a group of former intelligence agents who want to silence a man who they fear will cause them trouble. They beat him to death and leave him in the trash yard, where he miraculously lives, but with amnesia.

The tension brews as he tries to survive and outwit the group that attacked him. He befriends an exocentric older woman who, at first, probably did not realize what she got herself into by helping him. I found the drama and suspense blend into a thriller, building tension and captivating the viewer. Quite easily, the strength of "Dismissed From Life" is that it has enough suspense and mystery to keep you wondering and glued to the screen. It is a serious film likely to be appreciated by all that love dramas.

Tight Movie!.......2004-08-14

I bought this movie and watched it twice so far. It is an excellent movie. I don't know what people mean by bad acting, because I think the acting was great in this movie. That is how people act in the streets. I liked the story line, loved the music, and loved the sad parts of the movie. I love the funeral scene, it feels like I'm in the same church crying with them. Very nice movie this was indeed. I doubt anybody I know in the offline world would like this movie, but they are not street life fanatics like me.

TIGHT MOVIE.......2003-11-15

I really enjoyed watching this movie and the music was exceptional. Even though most of the actors were inexperience they did a very good job. Jah-Rista (the main character), was off the chains. He is so talented. I hope I get a chance to hear more from him whether it's on the stage, on a CD or personally. I recommend this to anyone looking to support upcoming actors/artists.

JAH-RISTA IS HOT TO DEF!!!!!.......2003-10-25

I really was not into rap music until i saw this movie!!! Jah-Rista is fine and can really act.I can't wait until he comes out with a new CD.I will definitely buy it,also the other characters were great as well.You understood where they were coming from and you could relate to their struggles.

CHUUCH IS IN THE BUILDING.......2003-09-12

OK LETS GET ONE THING STRAIGHT, THE RAPPERS IN THE MOVIE ARE TIGHT AS HELL!!! BUT THAT IS THE BEST PART OF THE MOVIE. I GOT THE SURROUND SOUND IN THE BASEMENT AND IT RUMBLES THROUGH MY HOUSE. I LUV IT. I'M NOT BIG ON INDEPENDENT FILMS BUT THIS ONE IS A HIT. AND TIFFANY, SHE'S FINE!!!!!!

TIFFANY!!!! Where art thou Tiffany?.......2003-08-23

The opening, title and credit graphics were excellent. The overall film was, at the least, a decent portrayal of urban, African-American men fighting against the odds and obstacles to reach their dreams. However, one can also see from watching this film that urban life can have an unyielding hold on you. One bright spot, which is definitely a reason that this movie will be a staple on my video shelf, is the character of Tiffany. Not only was she one of the few characters in the movie that can actually act, that girl is fine as hell and her semi-nude scenes didn't hurt either. Get this movie if you like urban/gangster/rapper/shoot-em-up fare. And I know the TIFFANY character will have you watching over and over again.

Description

In the $3 billion dollar industry of hip-hop music, no one has touched as many lives with a microphone as Tupac Shakur. In this never-before-seen footage, see Tupac at seventeen, a young man at the edge of his destiny, speaking out about injustice on the streets of Oakland. See him at the brink of his stardom, kickin' freestyles with Treach, Biggie and Grand Puba. See him at the shooting range, at home, at the highs and lows of his career, as a man constantly plagued by and provoking the media. See Tupac as never seen before, as the people closest to him knew him. See him as Thug Angel. Directed by Academy Award nominee Peter Spirer (Rhyme and Reason), "Thug Angel" takes you beyond the drama of Tupac's notoriety in the press through all-new interviews with friends, collaborators and scholars as they look back on Tupac and define his legacy today.

Ummmm.......2003-12-12

The lead character is a straight negro. Notice i said negro. The story line is good. It's real! As far as the martial-arts experience? It's ideal. Though, none of these actors real seem to know martial arts. I do remember the days of the panther, where martial arts was part of the law. I mean you had to know how to defend yourself back then. This movie is a reminder of that. Though, it's not quite real enough it's still an ideal scenario. This would be a movie where grown ups have that child "Conquer and destroy" Mentality. Like "This is our clubhouse! Who goes there?" type ish (Ninja Turtles). So, it's cool in a way. I believe the kung fu master type action should be deaded and more official. As far as black folks? We just go for what we know. In the streets it ain't much. Um, maybe a crow-bar, a rock, a rusty screw-driver, umm some scrap metal........ Kung fu? how many of us can afforded? How many actually believe they need it? Mama got kitchen knives, Pops got a gun, big bro plays baseball. So their you have it. A good ideal movie with a lil extra activity that might take you from the concept. Though, it was fun to watch, and it makes me think...hmmmm what if black culture had more involved like Martial Art. But if you can look past the little martial arts slow motion fighting and the unexperience artists. You could really enjoy this flick heartful. Big ups to the team and cast that put this together cause it ain't too far off from the black origin. Always keep it real. Though this movie is straight entertainment. It's also one of my favorite underground indie films from black-america. Great Music! I imagine this movie redone with just "Go for what you know fighting (on the real). It's Gangsta! Big Ups!

Does not deserve half a star (This Movie is Garbage).......2003-05-29

I saw this movie on TMC one night......First off I'd like to say, "Who in the hell keeps making these types movies" It attracted me because it had "the Lady of Rage" in it. too much cursing, no real plot and just a bad script. Two friends from the Hood who seem to be martial arts experts. who are into all the bad things the Hood has to offer. I thought martial arts was to supossed to keep you out of trouble!

Awesome Movie !..........2002-10-07

Very well put together independent film, the acting was perfect and had alot of emotions in there lines, if you haven't seen this film make sure you either rent it, or buy it like I did, because you'll want to see it over and over.
