He does that in just about every movie. He’s never the star of a film and never the main focus but his characters always stood out. He’s probably the greatest supporting actor ever. You notice he has a connection good or bad with the main character in every film he’s been in. He should have been won an Oscar for best supporting actor.
"You getting all that good loving and you can't put food on the table". I might've shed a thug tear over that line. You talk about a line that cuts deep. You find out your girl not only was sleeping around while you were at war, but the dude taught her tricks too? Plus, she out here telling him that you broke? That's too much.
And the funny thing about this line is that a lot of people don't understand that he didn't grant Anthony a mercy, he did it to protect his rep in the streets. Cutty is known in the hood as a pimp. They didn't show any of his other women but even Anthony recognized it right away. What would the streets say if they had heard that Cutty killed Anthony aka Juanita's baby daddy from the war? Everyone would have automatically assumed it was over Juanita...And that ain't Pimpish or Gangsta
Look at the way Cutty was smiling as he left Juanita's house. He says he "laid a little cash" on Juanita, but he laid something else on her, if you catch my drift, and Anthony knew that. Imagine going to see your lady and some other dude walks out of her place with a big smile on his face. What would you think?
That Nigga GHOST 😂😂🤣 this is him after having to hide from O'dogg for snitching about his robbery tape. I heard O'dogg snapped after kane got murked so Chauncy had to change his name and get low...
Lol I used to think the same thing when I was dating this girl that had a little daughter and we were both servers, always broke. It wasn't until years later after we broke up I found out we could have applied for food stamps😂🤣😅😆. I was spending about $400 of hard-earned cash on damn groceries.
@longdays shortnites facts 💯💯 mr pretty tony u kno the rules too the game yo bitch jus chose me na we can handle this like we got some class or we can get off into some gangsta shyt 😂💯
He isn't worried about Anthony's lack of fear... He kills whatever's left of him when he says all that shit over Juanita, and how he taught her how to fuck and suck. Plus, u know this isn't their 1st encounter in the film... Nita probably done told Cut how Any was tripping, even tho he ain't got no money. It's a lot, but he killed Anthony I'm this hallway. It's here that the robbery really roots itself
@@PancakeDiaries They were probably sleeping with each other before he even went off to Vietnam. That scene where we're introduced to Cutty pulling up to her saying, "Hey baby girl" while she was with Anthony in the car, and you see Cutty with the lollipop??...they may have some subliminal meaning.
Definitely has a slept on run in that era menace to society,the inkwell,dead presidents,love jones,why do fools fall in love,love come down plus he was a teen n in his early 20's doing all of those versatile impactful characters he deserves way more respect then he gets

For a man not to have only 2 scenes in a movie not to even total 5 mins...and leave such an impact on the minds of those who seen this movie....speaks VOLUMES. My 2 fav characters was Kirby and Cutty 😂
He does that in every film. He’s never the star but always leave an impact. He always has connection either good or bad with the main character. He’s probably the greatest supporting actor ever and should have been won an Oscar for best supporting actor.
Being in the military back in the early 90"s With a girl at home...this shit hit home with me and Juanita actually had the same aura as my girl so I felt some type a way watching this movie. Luckily there was no child involved. I knew I had to move on
MOVE ON!!!!! Don't get mad, don't get violent with her, don't question her, just leave man. Do you know how many women are on this earth?????? Best thing I heard in these comments Barry.
I know this scene was real life for some people. Imagine you go off to war (or a long distant relationship in college or something), and your girl has been servicing another man and performing better than she was beforehand.
@CapCityMover he definitely did deserve one lol. At a certain point, it's not even about the girl. Cutty was stepping on his toes on purpose and was daring him to get upset about it.
@inmyhumbleopinion_ Cutty is only doing what he's allowed to do. He doesn't know anything else. Once a woman brings a man around the family like that. That means she never respected you and you will be the one who will pay the price. You could confront cutty and beat him up but rest assured that there's more Cuttys as long as you keep dealing with a woman like that. She will just find another Cutty. Take your losses and remove yourself from that woman.
@@CapCityMoverit’s not about the woman no more. Ant warned him to stay away. Cutty knocks him down the stairs and puts a gun to his mouth. It ain’t about Juanita no more
@willstaywinning I agree but what's next after you beat up or kill Cutty though? Potentially going to prison and losing more precious time away from your kids?
This scene still powerful Cutty trying to humiliate Anthony but he wouldn’t let him. Told him to kill him right then and there that shit was epic. Anthony won this imo he showed Cutty he wasn’t scared of him and he is a man
@@BethJehovah it’s really sad I wish he just left ol girl, went back home to his parents and focus on getting his life together and taking care of his daughter specifically only he kept trying to make their relationship work despite that bullshit.

You gotta remember, the character Anthony was in the Vietnam war, so he seen blood, guts and death all around and anticipated death at every minute and second, so something like this probably didn't scare him, which is why he talked to cutty that way. Nonetheless, both did and extremely well job in this movie and especially in this scene. Initially I thought that he would take out cutty the same way he did cowboy, but cutty was a little more powerful in this movie.
To be honest, “trained soldier” does not necessarily mean you’re good in a fist fight. I was in the corps and I will absolutely say they know how to train you to be a basic marksmen. What that means is that they do teach you how to aim your rifle and let a couple go with solid accuracy. When it comes to hand to hand combat, your average marine is terrible at it. There’s an inside joke that the only thing the martial arts program does is train you to get your ass kicked in style. I’ve learned more after my active duty service just by doing boxing, BJJ, and Muay Thai as a civilian after my 9-5.
Clifton Powell is one of the most underrated/under paid actors in Hollywood. I liked his performance in everything he played in. He’s just that convincing. This scene here. I felt where he was coming from..
I like Clifton Powell and I like this movie. But people are getting out of hand with the “how did so and so not win an Oscar for this?” Everyone thinks the scene they like deserves an Oscar.
@Rose Roberson I totally disagree. He knew how to separate his business dealings from his personal dealings. He told him, "I gon' kill you over no woman." Which tells me that he would have killed him if it was business. Cutty was a real player, and he adhered to a player's code (whatever that meant for him).
I love the way Clifton delivers the line “a man oughta get respect for something like that” and “SUCK IT N*****!!!” Very cold. Great actor. Great scene. U know you’re doing your job right when we’re here in 2021 still talkin bout a film that’s 26 years old!
Two scariest scenes i found was when he was sleeping and having nightmares/flashbacks from Nam and woke his girl up in the middle of the night and also Tucker dying of a overdose. This movie is actually loosely based on the true story of a real black Vietnam vet. Very realistic movie anf not over the top at all. I dont think they had a lot of fun making this film. It was actually a very dark movie!!
@@lookoutnow4996 Think I would prefer that to this actually lol. Mama does have to have a life too. But Juanita was out here wildin,and obviously Cutty taught her how to be disrespectful as hell too.
Naw, Jody was actin like a bitch and disrespecting his mom and her man….Anthony was defending his family. Cutty woulda got domed behind that shit. You don’t pull a pistol, yet alone wave it in a man face and tell him to suck it….It’s principle…Cutty would likely get crept on, especially by a stressed out combat veteran that saw real killing. Woulda been easy for Anthony probably.
"If you need some advice feel free to talk to me. Cause I done seen it all and done it all...to the FULL!! You might think you seein some new shit out here, but it ain't nothin but a rerun to me!!" Jody didn't like that one! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Outside of the Players Club, I can’t remember there being anything like this movie back when it was first released. They did an excellent job displaying how difficult it was for poor, minority, veterans to come home and deal with life after Vietnam. But my heart always breaks for Anthony in this story, bc he simply wanted to live righteously. But someone in the comments mentioned that Juanita, his partner was actually the real villain, which is a good point that I actually missed I think 20 years ago or so when I first saw this movie. Great great movie, that I’m blessed to have seen when I did.
Because although what he did was fxcked up, It really wasn’t about him. I think the scene with him and cowboy showed his growth as a man and loss of innocence. That scene represents something different, and getting revenge means killing cutty and that’s something i don’t think he was focused on.
@@bscarter100 Also what would be the point since Juanita chose Cutty, it's not like he forced himself on her. Anthony anger if anything, should have been more on her, than Cutty.
This scene is really about what the Black man's options were during that time. It was either you was with the street game or you left to join the armed forces. Either way, both led to disfunction and death.
I agree, great interpretation💯 Like you said it was either armed forces or the streets. The drafting of African Americans into the armed forces created a dynamic that changed the scope of history for blacks and several other ethnicities. The smuggling of drugs grew as the US military got plugged into foreign countries. Drugs brings guns and prostitution and destroy households, in which, this destroys the structure of the person itself. To combat the reality and faults, one goes through a repetitive cycle of destructive habits for survival. This scene really digs at the core issue within the black community in America. At the end of the day, like the cliche, it’s all about the money.
Anthony called his bluff when he said kill me 3:18 and Cutty got scared. Cutty was a pimp and he ruled by head games, and street violence. Anthony was a soldier, he saw real violence and mental warfare in Vietnam. He wasn’t shook by Cutty Ang Cutty knew it. That’s why he went with the teaching Juanita all those tricks. A pimp’s power is psychological not violence
Love how Cutty's Faux Affable in this scene. He's friendly but it's clear it's backhanded and aimed at Anthony to make Anthony feel belittled and insignificant . From the get go he's challenging Anthony. If Anthony rises to it he's succeeded in getting under Anthony's skin , if he doesn't he's succeded in punking out Anthony and exerting authority over him. Intense scene.
Looking back, I can see that Clifton Powell was still on his gangster role era from his ROC days. Whew that was a time! The transition from House Party in a non-speaking role (he played Sharaine's brother at the door when Sidney came by to piick her up for the house party) to have such a strong presence in future roles. man oh man. underrated.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LMFAO! He wasn't big-time enough for the Kellogg's Corn Flakes; hence he had to but the cheap knock-off imitation. He subsequently got knocked down the stairs! Ouch! Great scene, though.
As the son and nephew of Vietnam veterans, I can safely say that if that were my Dad or uncles, somebody would've found Cutty's head in a trash can the next morning 😂
Meet him and we talked ,ran a few of his lines on him. Dude cool as hell mad respect for his acting skills definitely deserves a big budget blockbuster.
Cutty's main intention was to humiliate Anthony such as degrading him of not being a "real man" but Anthony did not summit to that such as telling him to kill him right their which I totally admire as Anthony was ready to die with dignity and pride. 😍😎💯👍
On the cool that's cutty's woman. Ole boy was gone 4 years and didn't contact her and didn't try to. So from cutty's perspective that's his woman and his family.
I can tell y'all youngins don't know shit about psychological warfare. All these comments talking about "Anthony won" when he told Cutty to "shoot me." Smh. That's not a win. In fact, Cutty NOT killing him only humiliated him ever MORE! The reality is that everything Cutty told him, was right. He DID train his woman sexually while he was away and he can't provide. He told him to his FACE he's the reason she's working him like that in the bedroom, why he doesn't deserve it, AND that he doesn't even care about her enough to kill him over his disrespect! Then let him LIVE just to further deal with the reality of his situation even longer. Anthony got up, went back to apartment with the girl he just got humiliated over, and STILL didn't know where the next meal was coming from. If that's a "win" for Anthony, the streets have definitely fell off!
Thank u... These niggas is weird. Anthony was beyond defeated. He'd been questioning his bitch just to have Cut lay it all out for him. And he don't know Anthony, so his bitch been pillow talking it up with him. Anthony still ain't have any bread, his bitch was still in the way and further disrespected him once he got inside... This moment pushed him over the edge and made him lose it all in the end. He didn't win anything here
@@rickiejohnson9744 Folks do it in the streets all the time. Your also missed a key part of who Cutty was. When a Cowboy played Anthony in pool the second time, he mentioned Cutty being the "baddest MF next to Nicky Barnes." Meaning Cutty was running shit.
Cutty was only in 2 scenes of the movie but his scenes and presence stands out
Two scenes that are all time black cinema quotables
I never noticed that he was only in 2 scenes. He definitely is an unforgettable character/actor. Beetlejuice was only in the movie for 17 minutes!
He does that in just about every movie. He’s never the star of a film and never the main focus but his characters always stood out. He’s probably the greatest supporting actor ever.

Towanna Taylor He's from Chicago tho
+lifestraight I'm sorry I was talking about Clifton Powell being from DC
I love the way Clifton delivers the line “a man oughta get respect for something like that” and “SUCK IT N*****!!!” Very cold. Great actor. Great scene. U know you’re doing your job right when we’re here in 2021 still talkin bout a film that’s 26 years old!
Quite possibly the best/realistic/scary scene in that whole movie. Love him.
Two scariest scenes i found was when he was sleeping and having nightmares/flashbacks from Nam and woke his girl up in the middle of the night and also Tucker dying of a overdose.
This movie is actually loosely based on the true story of a real black Vietnam vet. Very realistic movie anf not over the top at all. I dont think they had a lot of fun making this film. It was actually a very dark movie!!
Clifton Powell is an awesome actor. This was one of the best scenes of the movie.
This was like when Melvin checked Jody after he talked all that shit in "Baby Bo".
Jody was straight up chilling after talking all that shit 🤣🤣
"Yeah that's right, that's right. Call for your Mama"..😂😂😂
@@lookoutnow4996 Think I would prefer that to this actually lol. Mama does have to have a life too. But Juanita was out here wildin,and obviously Cutty taught her how to be disrespectful as hell too.
Naw, Jody was actin like a bitch and disrespecting his mom and her man….Anthony was defending his family. Cutty woulda got domed behind that shit. You don’t pull a pistol, yet alone wave it in a man face and tell him to suck it….It’s principle…Cutty would likely get crept on, especially by a stressed out combat veteran that saw real killing. Woulda been easy for Anthony probably.
"If you need some advice feel free to talk to me. Cause I done seen it all and done it all...to the FULL!! You might think you seein some new shit out here, but it ain't nothin but a rerun to me!!" Jody didn't like that one! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cutty "turned her out."
Steel Here he did straight up
Clifton Powell played the dude who stole Omar Epps girl (Pepa from Salt N Pepa) from him while he was in jail in First Time Felon.
FACTS
I always thought that
She was lost to the streets unlike her sister. Lol
Man, this is when you just sit at the bottom of the steps for like another 30 minutes and really think about life for a little while.
Cutty was a boss, loved his role in this movie - one of my all time favorites!
"Now, I laid a little cash on Juanita..."
One of the most disrespectful lines ever spoken on film
That aint all he laid on her
@@roderickbagsby8694 Hey Oh!
😂😂😂
"You keeep yoo shit"😩😂😂
Bro robbed a bank and went to jail. He might as well got down with cutty, but pride got in the way.
Facts. I would’ve linked with Cutty, left Juanita and focused on my child.
Your right, his pride will definitely be tested, having to work with Terence and everybody knowing your folks been hit by the boss.
Outside of the Players Club, I can’t remember there being anything like this movie back when it was first released. They did an excellent job displaying how difficult it was for poor, minority, veterans to come home and deal with life after Vietnam. But my heart always breaks for Anthony in this story, bc he simply wanted to live righteously. But someone in the comments mentioned that Juanita, his partner was actually the real villain, which is a good point that I actually missed I think 20 years ago or so when I first saw this movie. Great great movie, that I’m blessed to have seen when I did.
The pressure from Juanita made him rob that armor truck how women can make u do crazy things
Women don't make you do anything.
@@KNByamFacts 🎯 💯
I wanted him to get revenge on cutty so bad......just like he kicked Terrence Howard's ass in that pool room scene
Yeah I don't know why they didn't do a scene where he came back on or something it would have added some sense of closure
I was hoping Anthony got Kirby to deal with him but he didn't
Because although what he did was fxcked up, It really wasn’t about him. I think the scene with him and cowboy showed his growth as a man and loss of innocence. That scene represents something different, and getting revenge means killing cutty and that’s something i don’t think he was focused on.
Hey mayne, what's you problem there maybe? Come on Anthony mayne.... Terrence Howard crying voice in every movie
@@bscarter100 Also what would be the point since Juanita chose Cutty, it's not like he forced himself on her. Anthony anger if anything, should have been more on her, than Cutty.
This scene is really about what the Black man's options were during that time. It was either you was with the street game or you left to join the armed forces. Either way, both led to disfunction and death.
I agree, great interpretation💯
Like you said it was either armed forces or the streets. The drafting of African Americans into the armed forces created a dynamic that changed the scope of history for blacks and several other ethnicities. The smuggling of drugs grew as the US military got plugged into foreign countries. Drugs brings guns and prostitution and destroy households, in which, this destroys the structure of the person itself. To combat the reality and faults, one goes through a repetitive cycle of destructive habits for survival. This scene really digs at the core issue within the black community in America. At the end of the day, like the cliche, it’s all about the money.
Shits sad
listen brother... I know about pride!!! my favorite part!
Big Sonny lol I'm dying laughing
down town9 Cutty/Pinky
But you got mouths to feed 😂😂😂😂😂
I thought I was the only sick person that thought that part was hilarious lol!!!
Cutty got grits & soul!
Can't walk down stairs with a gun any smoother than this lol. This is where Jamie Foxx got his "stair walk" from in Django.
F a c t s s s s s s s !
Anthony called his bluff when he said kill me 3:18 and Cutty got scared. Cutty was a pimp and he ruled by head games, and street violence. Anthony was a soldier, he saw real violence and mental warfare in Vietnam. He wasn’t shook by Cutty Ang Cutty knew it. That’s why he went with the teaching Juanita all those tricks. A pimp’s power is psychological not violence
No cutty wasn't scared he didn't want to kill him over a woman which why he said you are lucky this is personal
He would of killed him if it was personal cutty was from the streets trust me killnn ova a woman is a no no😊
I agree with both of you guys,
O Dogg and Chauncey meet up again...😂
@@ShawnCman on everything 🤣
Clifton Powell is a
Black legend. Normally small roles in movies and plays but always gives a great performance !!!
Love how Cutty's Faux Affable in this scene. He's friendly but it's clear it's backhanded and aimed at Anthony to make Anthony feel belittled and insignificant . From the get go he's challenging Anthony. If Anthony rises to it he's succeeded in getting under Anthony's skin , if he doesn't he's succeded in punking out Anthony and exerting authority over him. Intense scene.
So where's the middle ground then?
@@MrMarmarsFilms Anthony whipping his ass is the only way.
@@MrMarmarsFilms in death, he was willing to die right then and there to show he wasn’t afraid of cutty
@@MrMarmarsFilms The middle ground is for Anthony to gather some modicum of srlf-respect and *LEAVE JUANITA.* No Juanita means no Cutty.
So cutty wanted to bait him in to kill him? So what does a man do I. this situation as Anthony, if a man like Cutty disrespects to this degree??
Now he has to pick up them groceries he didn't even want to take.
🤣🤣
One of the most Disrespectful Scenes in Movie History...Clifton Powell is the Truth at his Craft..👏🏾💯
Looking back, I can see that Clifton Powell was still on his gangster role era from his ROC days. Whew that was a time! The transition from House Party in a non-speaking role (he played Sharaine's brother at the door when Sidney came by to piick her up for the house party) to have such a strong presence in future roles. man oh man. underrated.
You gotta respect cutty! “You lucky this is personal, i aint gon kill u over no woman…”
He's a pimp and hustler
@@oholm09 Cutty is not pimp he a heroin dealer
“You hurd me G’at-dammit!”
“I used to loveeee to bring home the groceries “
When he said “but you back now, and I’m gone” I felt that
So from this point on, you should consider me like a friend of the family.....
“I care about her a whole lot” 😂
I care about her to and I never met her. ❤❤❤
Damn man, now I have to go and watch this movie again. One of my favorite movies ever.
Straight up CLASSIC💪😎
Wat dis movie bout?
@@jedediah3097 Vietnam Marines returning home to organise a Armoured van Robbery ,Highly Recommended with a Stellar Cast
This whole scene is priceless’ 💯 Dead Presidents my movie ! 🎥
2:42 imagine living in that building, laying in your room in the middle of the night & all the sudden hearing this come from outside in the hallway
Man you got me laughing my ass off with that comment 🤣 😂 😅🤣
😅🤣
Damn!!!😂😂😂😂
They were in the ghetto. Residents were already use to it I imagine, and just kept their doors closed.
2:44
I just watched this over and over again...classic scene.
When Anthony went sliding down the stairs I thought to myself "There goes cheese, eggs, milk and post toasties". 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LMFAO! He wasn't big-time enough for the Kellogg's Corn Flakes; hence he had to but the cheap knock-off imitation. He subsequently got knocked down the stairs! Ouch! Great scene, though.
Hold up them slim shady ep bars went hard
Hold up them slim shady ep bars went hard
He had to pick all that shit up after Cutty left too, head hurting and all!😂😂😂
Ya f'd up lol
Clifton Powell has played some of every role except a lead role.
Clifton Powell owned this scene!!
As the son and nephew of Vietnam veterans, I can safely say that if that were my Dad or uncles, somebody would've found Cutty's head in a trash can the next morning 😂
Not if it wasn't personal. 😅
One of the best scenes ever. Lighting, editing, shots, acting. Perfect.
Line delivery on point
That’s real pimp shit right there lol
Clifton Powell is an underrated actor
Clifton is such an amazing talent, love all of his work.
Anthony should have left her behind. Just raise his daughter
He did break up with her after this scene.
If that's his daughter anyway
I believe its his daughter the other child I doubt it
"What did you say? - YOU HEARD ME GODDAMMIT!" *ROTFLMAO!*
Larenz Tate’s facial expressions and acting are so fkn believable this will always be in my top 10 movie all time
This the coldest role Clifton Powell ever played✨
He knocked the CANS out that BOY !! Gooootdamn !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Like most African American actors Clifton Powell also has been very underrated for many years. No matter great talent is recognized when it's obvious.
The way Anthony rolled down the stairs after Cutty punched him 😂
The dainty punch always kills me
That was devastating
Lmao dont make me laugh at Anthony
One of the greatest characterization of disrespect in cinema. Cutty was such a savage. 🤣😍😱😰😎😏💯👍Clifton Powell did a phenomenal and spectacular job.
Powerful scene by both men.
That Punch was Powerful!😂😂
Meet him and we talked ,ran a few of his lines on him. Dude cool as hell mad respect for his acting skills definitely deserves a big budget blockbuster.
Cutty's main intention was to humiliate Anthony such as degrading him of not being a "real man" but Anthony did not summit to that such as telling him to kill him right their which I totally admire as Anthony was ready to die with dignity and pride. 😍😎💯👍
nah. It was PTSD. lmao. Wasn’t pride and dignity. Anthony was crazy. Thanks to vietnam
@@jrsmith1998 Anthony was already dead at this point tbh...
He went through alot in Vietnam. He already faced death. So facing death from a pimp to him didn't matter. He wasn't going to die a cowards death.
Boy them links & grits Juanita cooked for Chauncey must was good!
I think he fixed her some links n grits this time lol
Naw the links and grits still laying on the stairway...
Hit that man so hard damn near knocked the groceries bck on store shelf😂
Got knocked into the middle of last week, and heard "put that shit back!!"
@@PancakeDiaries 😂😂hit his ass bck in the check out line
Yeah, but Anthony was still tough enough to stand up to this criminal, even when faced with death.
cleanup on isle 4 😂
On the cool that's cutty's woman. Ole boy was gone 4 years and didn't contact her and didn't try to. So from cutty's perspective that's his woman and his family.
The coldest scene in the movie. Dead President was a classic.
Cutty lost this one. Once he didnt open his and he said kill me, Cutty knew I dont want any issue with this one lol
Mr. Powell is a GREAT actor. I appreciate all of His work.
I can tell y'all youngins don't know shit about psychological warfare. All these comments talking about "Anthony won" when he told Cutty to "shoot me." Smh. That's not a win.
In fact, Cutty NOT killing him only humiliated him ever MORE!
The reality is that everything Cutty told him, was right. He DID train his woman sexually while he was away and he can't provide. He told him to his FACE he's the reason she's working him like that in the bedroom, why he doesn't deserve it, AND that he doesn't even care about her enough to kill him over his disrespect!
Then let him LIVE just to further deal with the reality of his situation even longer. Anthony got up, went back to apartment with the girl he just got humiliated over, and STILL didn't know where the next meal was coming from.
If that's a "win" for Anthony, the streets have definitely fell off!
Thank u... These niggas is weird. Anthony was beyond defeated. He'd been questioning his bitch just to have Cut lay it all out for him. And he don't know Anthony, so his bitch been pillow talking it up with him. Anthony still ain't have any bread, his bitch was still in the way and further disrespected him once he got inside... This moment pushed him over the edge and made him lose it all in the end. He didn't win anything here
Bro, that's a Hollywood script, ain't no way in hell that you humiliate a man that way and then let him live??? ...he just sealed his own fate
Facts
@@rickiejohnson9744
Folks do it in the streets all the time.
Your also missed a key part of who Cutty was.
When a Cowboy played Anthony in pool the second time, he mentioned Cutty being the "baddest MF next to Nicky Barnes." Meaning Cutty was running shit.
I disagree. The initial comment is more realistic and accurate. @@rickiejohnson9744
Clifton is seriously a great actor every film he stars in he steals the the show
One of the most underrated films I know its a master piece
