I can't even remember how many times I've seen this clip but somehow it gets better each time. What I realize now is that Lucifer wasn't there for Willie... He came for the "real smart boy" as there was really nothing more that Willie had to offer. The boy on the other hand was a fresh new soul. The man who played Lucifer was masterful!
@Benj Smith Productions Archive Attempted to, there’s a difference. He never stood a chance. You can’t tempt someone with what they themselves loaned you.
Robert Judd was on screen for probably 15 minutes or less, yet his performance was so incredibly dominant. Sinister is the word that comes to mind. R.I.P., Sir, what a shame that you never got the chance to appreciate how over the years we've come to love your legendary performance.
That is not papa legba. That is Met Kalfou.That is all wrong. You also meet Kalfou at a littla before 12 midnight . Papa is met at the crossroads during the day time.
@@l.d.jackson6755 Pacino was a cartoon character in ‘Devil’s Advocate’, one ham-fisted scene after the next. Mr. Judd was quietly menacing in this scene, dapper and smiling.
Robert Judd played Legba to perfection. You can just feel the menace oozing out as he walks up. This is one of those times in cinema when a small part in a movie, expertly done, makes a huge difference. Not so fun fact, Robert Judd died in January of 1986, two months before the premier of Crossroads.
Robert Judd played his role expertly ! He stood out in this movie as the best played character of all....Sad that he passed away before he could see the recognition he's received for decades since !
When I was about 10 years old my grandma's brother Bill and I were sitting in the dinning room waiting for dinner. He picked up his guitar and said "let me show you something" and he played. Not songs just played. I listened to that and didn't say a word. But he could tell I liked it. Years later my mom gave me a folk guitar and a cord progression chart and I learned the fingerings and cord progressions. I didn't know how to play songs like House of the rising sun, or any of the others that my friends would play. So I was embarrassed, but when I played they never said anything so I thought I wasn't any good. I didn't know they couldn't just play music, they had to learn a song. I didn't know how good I was . I got in a car wreck when I was 26, had a stroke while I was in the hospital and someone stole my guitar. I'm 65 now, carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis, with some arthritis thrown in for good measure. But I still hear the music and I play in my head all the time. Devil be Damned!
After all these years, I realize now the "devil" and the "deal" is representative of record producers and promoter types. You sign on the line and "The Man" gotchyu. Then you get shelved for the next hot act, while they own the rights to your music, aka your soul.. A promise of fame, and riches. But the only pay you get is someone saying "he's good" and the only fame you get is an article in the paper, maybe once or twice. I love this movie. It inspired me soo much, once upon a time. I still can't get enough.
As a guitar player for 30 years this is still my favorite movie of all time . When I was a much younger man it took me over a month to get the final scene down note for note . I'm a huge fan of Vai and Cooter . Just a great movie and inspiration. Thanks for posting .
There are too many things in this movie that would not be allowed. Crooked black cops, underaged intercourse and I'm sure their are other things in here as well.
Legba is the Haitian name for Elegua, (the Yoruba west African) God of the crossroads. A trickster, Christians told them he was the devil, so they syncretized him with the devil and kept worshiping him anyway. And then hundreds of years after black slaves were brought to the south, this story emerges, about a black musician meeting with the devil at the crossroads. Amazing how certain aspects of cultures survive.
@opinunate ted: Good story, good explanation. In Caribbean Latin culture Eleguà, Changò and other African deities of ancestral spirit worship are still venerated by Santeros or those who practice Santerìa.
You are missing the other God of the Crossroads Cary for the one associated with dark things Papa legba is associated with Christ not the devil I'm using talk-to-text is not translating it correctly I said Carrie for it and it comes out Carrie for instead of Carrie for still not print ing it right
I've always loved (Legba/Scratch) Robert Judd's acting and role in this movie, he was perfect. His big smile and hollow unchanging eyes literally staring into your soul as prey. The subtle eerie facial expression changes. Haunting!
The HE in this does not mean the devil . When we question the existence of anyone it is God who's existence we question . So in my opinion the " he doesn't exist " = God doesn't exist
I pray that my beloved wife believes there is no satan I pray that she give over to the Lord Jesus and ask forgiveness and repent and turn away for sin
The gentleman who played the devil is probably my all-time favorite portrayal ever. The subtle undertones of rage and cruelty is hard for satan to mask for too long. Awesome!
There's no physical evidence that any of that shit is true, mankind has made up a lot of shit over the years and everybody is just blindly believed it. If there is some sort of Truth to some of it fine, but we can't make a lot of shit up and it's just ridiculous
@@youtoo2233 I bet you're the "life" of the party . . . Following your logic to it's inevitable conclusion, everything in existence is "real" . . . . thiiiink abouuuut iiiiit.
Me and friend of mine watched this movie back in the early 90's. we're both guitar players and aspiring songwriters. and we were so inspired by "Crossroads" that we wrote a song kind of similar to the plot of the movie. it it took us two days. On the 2nd night we were drinking Jack Daniels and after numerous frustrating recordings to get it right. We walked to the Graveyard which was not to far from my house in a misting rain. Our other friend who was also the lead singer of the band died in a car wreck and was buried there. we finished the bottle, and then left the picks we used to write the song. Under his tombstone, and walked home. Its still to this day. one of the best songs we've ever wrote together. wish we could have done something with it. RIP Pual.
I once went to the graveyard besides my sisters grave one day and asked god for a sign, that same night my family’s and I most adored cousin died and is currently buried right where I sat and asked
Absolutely love the way Scratch comes out of nowhere. Eugene has to shoulder things and there's no certain outcome....just a great depiction of Lucifer.
@@jrsmith1998 its about willie brown who is referenced in a robert Johnson song. He made a deal with the devil after Johnson told him how. The devil's assistant comes to see you at the crossroads when you play, then the devil appears
The devil comes as the most beautiful thing you had ever beheld. Remember that.... and in the words of one of the greatest guitar players who ever existed, just step back and let the angels do it. Much love, God bless.
Yep. He's pretty intimidating and scary when you think about it. His subtle, sinister undertones, his deal making ways, classic manipulation tactics, sadism, cruelty, underlined rage, he's definitely the movie's equivalent to the devil. Willie sold his soul on a dream he hoped to achieve but while Scratch got the money, fame and glory, Willie got nothing but his harmonica.
The actor who played Legba (Robert Judd) was excellent and scary. I read the wikipedia and the actor Robert Judd was suffering from stomach cancer during filming. Takes a special person to be fighting cancer and still show up and deliver his performance without no one knowing what hell he is going though. RIP. Mr. Judd and Mr. Seneca
this movie is something else, i love blues so much and there is plenty of blues on this movie, the old man is for sure gifted, these movies are a rare germ, watched the full movie in Botswana
I was 13 when I saw this movie the first time. Robert Judd was so damn good that my undeveloped imagination immediately replaced the horns &pitchfork with a smooth takin, cool walkin, Mississippi blues man...lol...At least 100 viewings and 30years later, he still scares the shit out of me RESPECT!
Well, if it ain't... it will do till the real deal gets here! When you think of all the Oscar and Bafta winning scenes... they are grud compared to this master piece ^
His change from anger to calm when he says “ but that ain’t no reason to break a deal “ with that smile .The first I saw that at 10 years old I really got scared the acting was so good
I saw this when I was a kid and I found the devil in this creepy in a real subtle way. I think it's my favorite portrayal. Most movies do the devil over the top, a more subdue version is much more scary.
There's been ALOT of epic Satan/Devil performances. BUT only a few were SPECIAL. Robert Judd nails it & is right there with Viggo Mortensen~TheProphecy. ~~Constantine's peter stormare did a good job with an overly overt Satan. Stormare is one of my fav actors.. He played an amazing Ernst Röhm in a Nazi movie.. ~~RichMarzeni said it beautifully " The subtle undertones of rage and cruelty is hard for satan to mask for too long" And Robert Judd showed that. You can see his malice and darkness along with greed & wit.. bravo!
Ralph macchio is a really underrated actor . He's really talented doesn't get enough respect in the industry I love all his movies. He should make more movies
One of my all time favorite movies. The portrayal of Lucifer by Robert Judd is golden with that “try me if you want to voice”, cocky smile and over confident laugh...priceless! Keep posting

One of my favorite scenes from any movie, it’s an incredible build up to the climactic duel scenic. Such a tragedy that Robert Judd, who OWNS this scene, passed away before the movie was even released.
25 years harp player. The number of nights in pubs and clubs, jumping on stage to improvise. Jesus, those ten little holes have given me so many memories.
Hands down, THE best depiction of The Devil in modern film history. Robert Judd, the actor portraying the Devil in this scene, passed away just prior to the release of this movie in 1986. His exact age was unknown, but best guess was he was either 59, or 60.
Nov. 16, 2019----Robert Judd, the guy who plays Scratch....man, he had that part NAILED! And no doubt this is how the devil would look like, full of "smiles" and so scary that a great white shark would flee in fear.
My lil homie look like a young version of Scratch!!!! His smile look like one of my drawings LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣!!! Scratch is an old school pimp name...damn the smile scares the sharks away....make a rattlesnake slang his rattle....make a pitbull look like a chiuahuah
I just watch this over and over to see Robert Judd's performance. It just captivates me. I could have watched a whole series of him playing Legba. Such a short time on screen and so mesmerizing WoW!!!
Sorry for your mother's passing.Nice to know,and Always Remember,settling down with Your Mother to watch a show.Keep those memories...Forever Friend... Sgt Cassie Tx Army Vet
Ralph Machio has been reprising his old characters. This is one Id actually love to see. Lightning makes a bet, not really believing in anything, not taking it seriously. He wins and beats the devil at a young age. He realizes later on it is in fact all real, and he spends the rest of his life hounded by the devil. Now He’s middle aged, and realized how close he cane to eternal damnation. He becomes a demon fighter, kind of like Constantine, and the old man that played the devil, reprises his role, via the really good deep fake and cgi they have now days. Steve Vai could also come back having fought hard to get a 2nd chance. Ralph’s character wrote a book late 90s, and deemed a quack, will have to step up and save the world this time.
Also, Willy should be the real bad guy revealed in the sequel. He knew Lightning would offer himself, and acted like he didn’t want help. There’s so many plot twists possible in a sequel.
I liked this movie cause it had blues music and tried to tell the story of Robert Johnson ..its all good. I am quite sure that the devil never did anyone any favors and Robert Johnson just saw and learned from all the greats he saw and spent a good while practicing

He has so many teeth.
Legal wasn't the only one. Willie new full well that he had no way of getting out of that deal on his own

Tim Curry in Legend has to be the best performance as Darkness
Agreed on the devil. Disagree on film as a whole.
Legba ain’t lucifer
I always qoute one of his lines, "ant nothing ever as good as you want it to be! but that any no reason to break a deal" sends chills down my spine
Derick_ D I was just gonna say that... Legba is a whole different entity...
The unmistakable sound of Ry Cooder's guitar. Love it.
great!!!
First time I ever heard him. Love prodigal son blues
I never heard of him till a movie called "The Long Riders".

25 years harp player. The number of nights in pubs and clubs, jumping on stage to improvise. Jesus, those ten little holes have given me so many memories.
"I'm just calling his bluff", that's the funny thing, the Devil never bluffs.
Love this movie been looking for it everywhere
Still one of the greatest guitar movies of all time.
Yes Sir! 🎸
Oh I get us there real quick, and that smile. Best actor
I had this movie on VHS. This and the "barn scene" were always worth a rewind
One of the best scenes ever filmed.
I'd forgotten about this movie. What a great scene.
Hands down, THE best depiction of The Devil in modern film history. Robert Judd, the actor portraying the Devil in this scene, passed away just prior to the release of this movie in 1986. His exact age was unknown, but best guess was he was either 59, or 60.
Watched many times , Greatest movie ever for Blues. Thumbs up liked for you.
A Brilliant scene! Well written, well acted!
Nov. 16, 2019----Robert Judd, the guy who plays Scratch....man, he had that part NAILED! And no doubt this is how the devil would look like, full of "smiles" and so scary that a great white shark would flee in fear.
My lil homie look like a young version of Scratch!!!! His smile look like one of my drawings LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣!!! Scratch is an old school pimp name...damn the smile scares the sharks away....make a rattlesnake slang his rattle....make a pitbull look like a chiuahuah
"Jack Butler's gonna like you" (Classic!!)
Willy looks what I expect Moses looked like. Man, that dude that played devil
... on point.
Great movie. One of my favorites of the day . Thanks for the upload.
I absolutely love this movie, Ralph and the cast did a great job
I just watch this over and over to see Robert Judd's performance. It just captivates me. I could have watched a whole series of him playing Legba. Such a short time on screen and so mesmerizing WoW!!!
“I already got you” that line is hilarious lmao
I use to play this for my Grandfather everyday 🥲
Growing up this was one movie my father and I could watch together ❤
One of the best movies of the 80s IMHO.
Loved this movie it was the last movie I ever watched with my mother before she passed, thanks for posting!!!

Sorry for your loss. May your mother forever RIP.
That’s a great movie to watch with her man. Sounds like y’all are a cool pair for sure. Sorry for your loss man.
Um filme sobre o melhor estilo musical do mundo, chamado blues.
Muitos não estão prontos para essa discussão ! Mais concordo com vc
Great movie! Seen it over 50 times, unfortunately it never got the respect it deserves.
I agree. One of my favorite movies
Blue's with a feeling that's what I have today! It's a good song! Yes I loved this movie when it came out!!
Totally great movie. Loved it.
Ralph Machio has been reprising his old characters. This is one Id actually love to see.
Lightning makes a bet, not really believing in anything, not taking it seriously.
He wins and beats the devil at a young age.
He realizes later on it is in fact all real, and he spends the rest of his life hounded by the devil.
Now He’s middle aged, and realized how close he cane to eternal damnation. He becomes a demon fighter, kind of like Constantine, and the old man that played the devil, reprises his role, via the really good deep fake and cgi they have now days. Steve Vai could also come back having fought hard to get a 2nd chance.
Ralph’s character wrote a book late 90s, and deemed a quack, will have to step up and save the world this time.
Also, Willy should be the real bad guy revealed in the sequel.
He knew Lightning would offer himself, and acted like he didn’t want help.
There’s so many plot twists possible in a sequel.

Robert Judd was the actor who played Scratch. He should have won an academy award, no one could do it better!
exactly
Legba never stops that million dollar smile, seems like how devil would negotiate. A big smile and a handshake for ur soul.
"I already got you."- Chills!
I was expecting his eyes to change and fangs to pop.
Robert Judd unfortunately died before Crossroads was realeased
Sad
Look close when he says that.
He's got one canine "fang" gives his performance even more credence.
Ik the movie gives me chill
This is kinda how it happens...Jimi Hendrix met an alien from another galaxy ...and I met yo Mama ...
He didn't just say it. He said it with a growl.
Saw this when 14 and it changed my life
I liked this movie cause it had blues music and tried to tell the story of Robert Johnson ..its all good. I am quite sure that the devil never did anyone any favors and Robert Johnson just saw and learned from all the greats he saw and spent a good while practicing
I dunno…some fiction in the truth, and some truth in the fiction one could argue 😈
