The lives of Nick, K-Luv and Lincoln are entwined when the drug lord Sleepy protects a rapper against the Chinese piracy of his CD.
So your brain randomly decided to remember this, too?
Nothing wrong with that 🤣🤣🤣 I rather watch all the classic movies and shows for the rest of my life than go outside for the quarantine 😂
I've been trying to find this out since 2010
Yup
yep lol
Falcon and the Winter Soldier reminded me of this
Such a hidden gem...watched this years ago as a kid on tv...could never remember the name of it
I ain't watched it since I was 11 in 2005 I always remembered the namee and certain parts like the court fight over the cds nick getting robbed for his watch the bathroom stabbing and him running from the dock I just never knew where to find it till today.
One of the best under rated untalked about kilafornia movies
New York accents in the bay 😂😂😂 stfu it’s TRASH
Thank you! Id started to believe I made this movie up in my head.
Spike Lee made 2 of his best movies around 2002-04.
"25th Hour" & "SF City."
This movie is a time capsule of what SF and the Bay Area used to be like, before tech money rooted the bay area's identity out. This as a show could of showed the Bay Area as a whole just like the Wire
Kind of. It's shot in SF but feels they otherwise transplanted New Yorkers into SF and told them to act like New Yorkers.
@@justinching4457 LOL exactly
@@justinching4457 Showtime was willing at a time to give this movie a tv show. to counter the wire. Had that happened the Bay culture would of been shown. Gentrification has ruined the Bay
FACTS
1:02:50 "Hey, we live in the Bay Area, so let's do Bay Area stuff, like go down and literally sit on the dock of the bay and make insights about life for 30 seconds and then leave because we're in a hurry to be somewhere else. Because that's the kind of thing people do in the Bay Area."
Oh yeah, that's just an authentic slice of real life from SF back in the early naughties. PSSSH yeah right...without the B-roll, this whole movie could have been set in Seattle, or Vancouver, or Toronto, or Chicago, or Miami...or literally any other city in North America.
Spike lee never dissappoints does he ?! What a great script !
Great direction, script is by Alex Tse who also co-wrote Watchmen
Always a good thing to have memories of those days captured on film...... The golden era 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯
Only the real ones know about this
yup
Don B yep
✊ saw it on TV years ago
This movie was way ahead of its time.
Fo Real!!!
Spike Lee, Coen Bros, Wes Anderson,Richard Linklater, Tarentino, and Clint Eastwood. My favs
Jersey Game in this movie is incredible (SF Seals, Oakland Oaks, USF, GSW, Rockets, Chinese National)!!
All that was missing was the 49ers and SF Giants.
Never knew this movie existed! Hidden gem 💎
thanks for this, been wanting to see this movie for years
San Francisco is so small is easy to recognize every street in this movie
Just heard Omari Hardwick say this was his first acting gig. Prequel to Power's character, Ghost.
Never Heard of it before. In mind of The Wire
Nah his character in Next Day Air was prequel to Ghost
This movie was way beyond its time.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson.
Been looking for this movie for a min . Thanks💪🏾
Was lucky enough catch this shit when I was 26 back in day. 2005.
Just got done watching it today again for like 10th time.
It's so damn good u don't want it to end. Should made mini series out of it. Or Spike should revisit this in a sequel
it was supposed to be a series but not enough people picked up on it
Lucky u was able to watch it as young I guess it can shape u gor the better
So now you about 44 years old. Bro I cant even watch this type of stuff without getting emotional. Where did the time go 😢
Thank u for the upload. Much appreciated

My suckafreecity. mission is were my heart is. Wow luv seeing this. The buses i remember riding those old buses
I remember when people used to dress up like dat when I was a kid, mostly because I was growin up durin da 2000's, dem were da days mane.
thank you for posting this!!!
Spike Lee Joints was the epitome of the late 70s and 80 babies seeing the grit, grime , and love stories of black people 💯❤❤❤
These cable movies really used to be underrated.
🙏🏽🙏🏽 R.I.P Lamont Bentley
spike lee was off on his frisco accents they sound like they from nyc lol he never does real research before making gang movies
obamayomama9 😂😂 ain’t a frisco accent basically a Cali accent?
AQUAPHREESH193 bruhh no ppl from LA sound way different then Frisco ppl mayne. if u were from cali u would understand
obamayomama9 lol what I mean is that I know some bay cats got they own slang but I know for a fact HELLA young niggaz from the bay to la say you feel me. Lol am I wrong tho? Peep how these new niggaz talk from the bay to La it ain’t like the days of dru down or e40 these new niggaz sound hella generic
AQUAPHREESH193 yeah like the dude w the real frisco accent is the guy w the braids tho he fr from frisco thats an accent
AQUAPHREESH193 only anthony mackie and the other guys😂
JT THE BIGGA FIGGA is now in Africa handing out cash to villagers. Time is precious!
This movie is underrated. My only critique is that they misrepresented the Mission District, The Mission District is Mexican and Central American... heavy. But they didn't show a Mexican or Central American for some reason.
They at least had a west coast Boricua which is common in the Mish lol, but yeah I agree when I first saw this movie I thought the same.
You not from early 90s then wasn't till early 2000s Mexicans moved in heavy was only odd ones, was a arts district prior you must not known mission background
1 of my favorite films been waiting to see it on here for a while since my copy grew legs
Ken Leung’s NY accent lol
Damn i finally found this movie and the ending still bothers me. All them damn kids.
It was a TV pilot that didn't get picked up because the regime at Showtime changed.
I played in this movie when I was hella young
Dude I bet you are lying your ass off
Bless you for uploading this. Can't find it anywhere to stream or download.
Finally I got it here since 2005 I watched in Fox movie
So that’s that young Chinese dude from rush hour 3 started from and Easter egg also repeated that line clean your self up after he himself is handed a handkerchief even Omari Hardnick’s in this You got the marvel man anthony mackie awe man this is good even had part of next day air cast in it all actors were great
This would've been a great show if it got passed the pilot episode. I'm always watching parts of it to see how different SF was till today.
This gives you the wire feel.
Can’t believe I never seen this…. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Spike lee is a master n this is a masterwork
Too bad he didn't want to commit to a regular show. Because Sucker Free City might of given the Wire a run for its money.
30:25 I done forgot Lamont Bentley was in this
Born and raised in SF in the sunset district
48th and lawton babyyyyy
24th between Irving and Judah.
Ghost and the falcon use to be roll Dogg's I see lol
Ain't seen this since high school been looking for this shit for yrs now I forgot the name of it glad I finally found it this was a good movie people sleep on this one
1:44:03 "We da producers nigga. Da producers" LMAO love that line.
Never heard of this movie and clicked to watch . I recommend
Dang I wish they made more. Props for the post OP!
This was slated to be a showtime show but Spike Lee didn't want to commit to a full time series and Showtime dropped it sadly. This would of been a great series especially in light of how fucked the Bay Area has become because of tech money and gentrification
This low key a West coast version of clockers
Agreed mane, I feel like watchin Clockers after I'm done watchin Sucker Free City, both films is a masterpiece tho not finna lie
I was just strolling through UA-cam Movies....I'm glad I decided to watch it. This was a good movie thanks UA-cam!! I didn't know Omari Hardwick was on here.👍👍👍👍
They filmed alot of this in San Pedro, for example that Point Mob scene (basketball court shooting) was filmed in the RSP projects in San Pedro
@@ofrancisco1312 that's the only scene filmed in SP projects but other scenes were filmed in SP also
I knew that wasn’t SF jects
@@batsuomitv5705 It was filmed in S.F Hunters Point in the old West Point projects and Northridge and Harbor Road and Kiska projects. The main place they hang out in the movie is on Middlepoint Rd. Frisco 415 🌉
Omg! I new every street I remember that park I hated to go to that park now I c why it was not cool for lil kids to play . I remember the buses use to hate to go to that bus stop on the corner it would never stop on that street. I saw the windows get busted out before. I remember walking down that hill visiting my mother I remember bob's store all the way down by the water I remember the store catching 🔥.. I remember being chased by a pit up that hill dude walked down exactly by that red mustang I hated that dog
My neighborhood makes HP look like a play ground.
best movie still watching in 2019
Dang I remember a van communicate ng to pick kids up at that stop .. they were strick as to whom went on that trip .. they saved a lot of children that way.
The Part when lil O gets killed is sad but funny at the same time
Wow nice movie - I live in SF in the mission fo 20years great city I did hella dirt. back in my MEXICO CITY i never forget the suckafree!!!
real frisco right here
thanks bro was downloading the torrent stopped at 99.9 no seeders left dunno how many times i brought the dvd
Was the music at the end removed?
Thats what i wonder. Not really important but i guess i want to watch it exactly how i watched years ago on tv🎼music included 😂
Un edited can probably be found elsewhere
Here ya Go.

Sounds
Yes it was San Francisco by Scott McKenzie was the song they had on at the end, the original ending was way better
First time watching, it didn't grab me in like the "WIRE" or "THE CORNER".
Damn the new captain America/falcon and James St. Patrick running drugs together Sf was wild no wonder they had to come in and suck the life and soul out of my city and all nearby areas
They only thing they missed in this was the latino struggles
Plus Native Americans! All races of color suffering in the world with the %1 of the richest elite billionaires controlling everything
This was a good flick
I think it was supposed to spinoff into a Showtime series but they botched something that deserved better
@@benyang2427 they whanted spike to direct the whole series. I can tell this story was rushed, lil O woulda died in like episode 9 this story was great but madd rushed. What a shame
This is a good movie miniseries too bad Spike Lee couldn’t finish what he started!!!!!!!💪🏽💪🏽
Dam sleepy murdered lil man🥺🥺🥺😫
Miss the old Bay Area
I been looking for this for years
I'm here cause I seen Omari uncensored lol
Why did that black truck in the beginning have an SSF sticker.
It's harder for us ladies when I was36 I couldn't get beer out the package store I'm 65 and everybody think I'm 50 looking younger feels good,I susieq of Springfield mass just wanna say happy newyears too all racists around the world I'm not racists I love everybody❤❤❤ just don't take my kindness for weakness 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉happy2025 time for peaces and a new beginning ❤
you gotta love anthony mackies character in this movie. Hes rightous and lee was a power abuser
WHO TRYING DO A REMAKE?
No
I couldn't remember name but i remembered Mackie was in it so i searched all movies with Mackie .
PFAS contamination? That stuff decomposes with ultrasound; try some bass speakers DOGG!!
Damn thing had so much potential.
1:27:00 I’m gonna tell my kids “this is how Andre Nickatina met Equipto”
WTF are Ghost and Falcon doing together
Sang from Rush Hour lives again!
Wipe yourself off...
What happened to the music in the last scene???
Great unknown movie
Spike Lee gets it. Coming fr a white suburban kid
bro pls do spike lee 90's joints ?
Sf now sucks balls!!! There are no more stores in market square downtown. Bunch of homeless people EVERYWHERE
Anthony Mackie & Tyler James Williams interview sent me here.
I think they tried to make this a TV 📺 series, the movie was the pilot. It was unfortunate that it didn’t get a “pass”
Just realized “The Bomb” 40 oz beers from “Bamboozled”
And Clockers
When ghost was just spirit 🤣
Back in the day for real , cool movie
They need to make more movies like this.
Wow an actual upload thanks 👏🏽
Killa City 31 Sucka Free City 20, Super Bowl LIV

What’s up with the ending?
"Little Point Mobs make Big Point Mobs one day..
Lessons learned in tha ghetto."
- Leon 2004
one of omari hardwick's first movies towards stardom
That’s the end?
why wasnt leon strapped when he got stabbed in the bathroom?
I saw A list actors in this movie and my cousin JT bigga diggs fillmoreafrica . And yo boy from power and the Chinese guy he is an actor and the dude that die in bathtub and I think another one I forgot . But IAM surprised cause I wasn't expecting this I was not gonna watch it until I saw JT
