Damn, and it's still relevant now. I hope that police brutality and this movie will seem unrealistic to future generations, that they can live in a world where they won't have to experience this.
The sad thing is we NEVER had a period in this country when this wasn't the norm.We can NEVER say I remember when there was no police brutality/ injustice or racism.
@@christopherdiaz3409 the only idiot here is you if you think this country has been free of racism for the last 30 years I guess u were in a coma the 8 years Obama was in office
Yes! I love that song, U-God really shines on that track...he better since he ends it and has the longest verse but every time I heard it I knew I heard that sample somewhere, I just couldn't quite recall. Two days ago I was watching film critic, Elvis Mitchell's documentary, "Is That Black Enough for You?", about the history of Black American film on Netflix and the clip they use from this movie is the exact part where Cornbread is shot. When that music played my jaw dropped! It all came together for me like at the end of The Usual Suspects! I saw this movie at my cousin's house in Brooklyn, I might've been 10 or 11, so '87 or '88. I don't think I had ever cried from watching a movie before. It was devastating and my uncle gave us the same talking-to that one of the other commenters here got: if you're running around and playing in the neighborhood and you see the police, slow down or stop. I'll be honest, we knew a few really good cops in the community, that would stop by my stoop or my cousin's house and just talk to the adults. They knew my grandfather, my aunt & uncle, and even the kids who were always on the block by name. But when you were in somebody else's hood or in Manhattan... You had to be real careful around the cops you didn't know. At least that was our perception. And that's what the old folks taught us because they came up in the 50s & '60s when relations were even worse. Anyway, a great movie and I didn't even know that was Larry, um I mean Laurence Fishburne until that doc either.
The irony that the cop that killed em was black. My mama just told me that was Lawrence fishburn when I brought this movie up and man that man was acting this good at such a early age. I remember being younger watching this, i'm only 20 now, and this scene and him shouting they killed cornbread lways stuck with me
I was about 10 years old when this movie came out. I remember crying in the theater with my friends. We were always suspicious of the cops. But we left out the theater that day feeling particularly on-edge. This is a classic movie. It's odd that in 2018 we're seeing the same nonsense happen that was in this movie.
I was born in 1973 and I can remember this movie being talked about as a kid. We were told not to run around the neighborhood because police would think you just committed a crime. Even til this day, it isn't safe just to jog around anywhere being black.
here in 2020 out of nowhere i remembered that line “they killed cornbread” i looked it up and remembered where it was from idk why it always stuck with me, i don’t remember anything from this movie except this part i was sooooo young when i watched this movie i just turned 16 last month! so sad
I really started crying when Lawrence fishborne mom saw cornbread...It hurt bad
i'm about to cry all over again, while watching this. it's such a powerful scene.
this scene did pre-date Black Lives Matter
It’s was 1975 and it’s now 2019.......Ain’t a Damn thing changed!!!!
RIP.....Ahmaud Arbery🙇
Rip George Floyd
2020...... And The Murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police Was the Last Straw that broke The Camels Back....
Damn, and it's still relevant now. I hope that police brutality and this movie will seem unrealistic to future generations, that they can live in a world where they won't have to experience this.
August 2020 Jacob Blake survived so far.
70’s rain was different WTF?

The past 30 years actually, its just idiots like you who think its out here like that
@@christopherdiaz3409 so you don't watch the news?
@@christopherdiaz3409 the only idiot here is you if you think this country has been free of racism for the last 30 years I guess u were in a coma the 8 years Obama was in office
dinosaur era? pretty sure there was no racism then.
@@dustyri04...There were no humans then, let alone a United States of America genius. 🙄
I saw this movie when I was little, and to this day, this scene still makes me sad.
Me too, I can never forget the "Mama they killed Cornbread!" Cry to this day.
5:40: the RZA sampled this piece of music for Ghostface Killah's "Black Jesus".

I wish my people would rise up like this now for the fallen.. fear has us crippled.
Can You believe what’s Going on Now....
I wish we could but there's alot of self hatred and a crab in the barrel mentality plaguing the black community
:(

Right like gang violence
@@atlantabraves1529 We didn’t see any gang violence in this movie. Idiot.
I remember seeing this movie in the 70s and laughed my ass off
P
2024 just had another unjust murder by cops who shot a woman in her home who wasnt doing anything
RIP TO THE BEAUTIFUL N TALENTED ROSALIND CASH. SHE WAS A DIAMOND
And Madge Sinclair, Bernie Casey
This is still a very relevant scene in 2020...good movies get better with time and this is a good movie!
I'll never forget this scene, and I was 6 years old when this came out! I was in tears. And it's 2021 and ain't a damn thing changed, has it?
nope
I was born in 1973 and I can remember this movie being talked about as a kid. We were told not to run around the neighborhood because police would think you just committed a crime. Even til this day, it isn't safe just to jog around anywhere being black.
Best acting Laurence fishburne EVER DID!!!!Dam near moved me to tears
Nah the community is not fighting back we wait for justice
🎯🎯🎯🖤
I remember being traumatized by this as a kid
There goes Lawrence Fishburn when he was younger screaming they kill cornbread
Mr. Jamaal"Silk"Wilkes is one of the greatest underrated NBA player there is man.
here in 2020 out of nowhere i remembered that line “they killed cornbread” i looked it up and remembered where it was from idk why it always stuck with me, i don’t remember anything from this movie except this part i was sooooo young when i watched this movie i just turned 16 last month! so sad
One of the saddest scenes in a movie... ever.
Somethings just never change
Jamaal Wilkes' NBA career was almost at his peak when he starred as Cornbread in this movie.
He was still named Keith when this movie came out.Wasnt even a Laker yet.
Peak? This movie was made in 1975, his rookie season. Hardly his peak.
Ghostface Killah Black Jesus sample @ 5:40
He sampled this
NOTHING CHANGED AT ALL!
1975-2020 NOTHING AT ALL CHANGED
2021
I haven’t watched this movie in yeeaarsss and I burst into tears as soon as I watched it 😭 woowww , it still hurts 💔
I watched this movie years ago. It saddened me than and now as I watch this scene again
It's like if this happened today...
This did .....Ahmaud Arbery
It's been happening since black people were brought to the US.
9:53 I can feel that composer inside of me.
Too young, he was too young. No baby mama's, had friends, reputation, skills, a potential future.
wiped away.
This is awesome you got Ike Turner,Huggy Bear,& Cornbread!!! What are the odds on that man???
😂😂😂
Jason "Furious" Styles
Unfortunately, the police have gotten even more brutal with our people. It might never end.
Ghostface Killah used that chant that plays when Cornbread gets shot for “black Jesus” on his first album Classic movie n song
Came here for this. Was listening to the song today and I’m like this sound like the Cornbread got shot theme. Had to make sure.
The Ironman album has several black 70s movie references and thanks to UA-cam I've gotten to watch them. Still glad I'm an 80s baby and a 90s kid
@@MrPugboogie 90s baby, 2000s kid. Thank God films and music still exist
Lawrence Fishburne was a baby haha
Wilkes had a great Game 6 in the 1980 NBA Championship, 37 points, 10 Rebs and the Lakers crushed the Dr. J Sixers.
Who's Still watching in 2017
You a bitch you watching it yourself
2020
This movie actually came out in 1974 not 1975, I remember going to see on 42nd Street down in Times Sqaure
R.I.P. 🪦 Charles Lampkin Bernie Casey and Rosalind Cash
Jamaal Wilkes from the 70's Warriors and the 77-85 Showtime Lakers!!!!! He had a funny shooting style
KeKe Palmer looks so much like Lawrence Fishburne when he was younger
Classic movie right here and how quickly we all forget that Lawrence Fishburne was a child actor!!!!!!
That was him
Hate
They do look alike. I never realized that until you mentioned it.
Mistaken identity and racial profiling!
And they shot him in the back!
…Why is this still going on now?
I was 9 when I saw this at the movies. I was crying like a baby.
Remember watching this with my dad as a kid and I wouldn’t wear a hoodie for days 😂 man this movie gets you emotionally
Art imitating real life. Its unfortunate but a reality. The folks making this flick could foresee the future.
They shouldn't kill cornbread because he didn't do anything wrong
All facts bro
I agree
I wonder was it actually raining or did they just have their sprinkler turned all the way up
“Hit by my element great wall of china/mountain peaks hold the globe like vagina.”-U-God
When black folks stuck together
This invoke such sentimental emotion. This Day shall return. Thats on the Promise Land🙏🙏🙏🙏😢💥🌟
I see Laurence Fishburne, Bernie Casey and Antonio Fargas.
The more things change the more they stay the same 🤦♂️ 💯💯
The suspect had time to pick up a basketball and stop for a soda in the 30 or so seconds they lost sight of him…
RIP Bernie Casey
Didn't know that he died. Rest In Peace. Or that he played in the NFL, for the Rams and the 49ers.
Wow 😲 I remember going to the movie to see this year ago
Lil Wayne cry out song sent me here
Somethings never change
They had that "Truman Show" rain that only fall on one person in the scene.
Cooley High, Cornbread ❤❤✌
Morpheus woke af
Lol everyone in the comments making this about race, ignoring the young black girl who got shot by some black maniac.
She was alive, Cornbread dies
I take it u never watched the movie in its entirety... Cause she got her life while cornbread murdered
HBO' s showtime Lakers brought me here. I still can't believe they killed Cornbread!😭😭
Yoo I done recognized a Ghostface sample from this scene 😱😱😱
7:40 That brother did it! lol
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
OOOOOOO
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OOOOOOOO
Lmao I do that all the time, thought I was the only one!
Good film with heart
+Tim Priddy YES!!!!
Tim Priddy lmao
The Saddest Scene!!!

thats why we fear for the future
Already happened
It's been happening for the last 200 years
Still happening
Oh so this been happening to us all along. Its just being record on cell phones now
At the wrong place, at the wrong time, SMH.....
It was nice a touch that the second cop was a black dude. It be like that.
We loved watching thia movie in school its so powerful
Larry Fishbourne.............🤣🤣🤣 Camron story of that being his real name is hilarious 😂
R.I.P. Bernie Casey
Former NFL player and very good actor.
None of us cried. We expected something like that, so we probably prepared emotionally for it. I was glad when the cops got beat up, though.
What's the name of the song? All I know is that Ghostface sampled it in Black Jesus
Riot by The Blackbyrds
5150 freez luv brought me here
Makes it seem like Cornbread ran three blocks but really just to the next corner.
I seen this movie and cooley high in the movies when I was a little kid when cornbread and Cochise got killed it wasn't a dry eye in the movie theater
So when they going remake this film and cast viola David as the mother..

That orange soda look like orange juice
5:37 wow
70s rain is crazy
Anybody notice the similarities between this scene and Ricky’s even in Boyz n the hood. Which Lawrence fish Byrne was in
1975-2022 And Same Stuff nothing changed 😏
Am I the only one who thought that this was his last day living
This is my favorite movie
2019 and forever smh 😡
Lol besides Kel loving nothing but orange soda cornbread loves orange soda too
All round the world it’s the same song 👀👀
Same bullshit😪
And this is still happening 2021
Name of song please
Riot by The Blackbyrds
The cops didn't do this to be cruel or mean. This sadly happens when people are just doing their jobs, and one group assumes unjust persecution.
Any black will due smh
THE SPOOK WHO SAT BY THE DOOR By Sam Greenlee
Only movie to make me cry
Favorite movie when i was little 2000s 90s i think after corn bread died for some reason after that i cut the move off
