It's like a really good B movie for the 70's, with a really good 80's music soundtrack. It's also a well shot movie, each shot leads to the next, nothing superfluous, well edited. I love how chill Fletcher is, good story, "diverse" cast without working too hard at it. Like Fletcher it's an understated flick, without a lot of bombast. BIG UP!
I just love these movies. Thanks for posting! Ivan Rogers, who played the lead, was born in 1954 and passed away in 2010 at the age of 55. I never knew about him and his work until now.
Slow like sweet molasses...this was so sub-par, I couldn't take my eyes off of it. Those two sport coats with badges were getting on my nerves. There were so many Magnum P. I./Tom Selleck mustaches...I was hysterical!!
I am an 80s baby..born in 88. This movie is b-grade but its still a good independent film.Another movie I think could go with this is "Number one with a bullet"1986 -billy dee Williams a cop flick. I like reelblack for giving us these gems.
See you woke...u the only person i noticed beside myself said hey this reminds me of Richard Pryor Club Surger Ray from Harlem night's when they shot up the club when Eiddie & Richard wouldn't give in to their demands. Good job! 👍
The Messenger 7 Collier did you notice the blind man with the KOOL Mo D glasses?... the storyline is pretty messed up they beat up blind ppl women and killed that mans father then the cops beat his ass too... talk about injustice!!!
...yes amiturish...the direction was lacking...in someways it was slow...but I thought his musicianship did something for the film...the director/producer needed practice...but his story was solid...I'm glad he made the effort...
I was in one of Mr. Rodgers early productions. Taught me alot about ETHICS when creating your product. Mr. Rodgers unfortunately created SOME product cutting corners & leaving MANY hanging.
@@ChrisTylerrr662 SLICK Willie style. Indiana Film Commission changed rules for filmmakers because Rodgers was late-OFTEN in paying staff or NON payment, ignoring legal clearances, permits Used Indy POLICE and POLICE dept. for a film and booked 2 Cali before court date for non payment. Messy
@@ChrisTylerrr662yeah. Rodgers tried it in Cali...😄 didn't work. Started filming in Asia. Naptowners laugh about it now, back then, not so much. Shared with my brother, KNOW he's dying LAUGHING.😄😄😄 HEY BIG brother.😊
Yes and the flow, continuity was equal to the acting. Definitely a B movie. But watched anyway. Good history piece given the Fred Williamson influence.
The shot with title of movie is on south Meridian street where Washington street crosses. Downtown Indpls. With Monument circle in background. Stated 2 be the center of the country in either direction.💁 Memories.
Quite a few things irritate me about this movie, usually the movies on this channel are good but the overall foolishness that takes place in this movie is just not in good taste. How in the first few minutes does everybody on screen who is black disappoint me in some way, from the protagonists choice in women to the way black people were just killing each other in the club.
If blacks really want to succeed they should create their own movies venture instead of chasing a white oscar award and white accolades! Same with all cultures!
There's nothing like a real Black movie 🍿 with real actors, great music as well 👍🏿

Sister? I thought Mr "Reelback" was a dude?🤔
@@alanfreeman7374
If he's a dude why would he have a black female logo as the Profile of the channel?
Reelblack is a male. Here is a live video with him.

Thank you Reelblack for this film. I didn't even know who Ivan Rogers was. Thank you for this piece of cinema history.
I like the clean crisp look of the film.
Real as real can get
With night scenes so realistic as to make out what's happening impossible.
IT Seems THAT Way in a CUTIE Ways of LIFE and Merry Christmas everyone this year AMEN 🙏.
Dang this was a good 🎥. Had never heard of it before. Glad I watched it. Thanks for unloading it.👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for this chanel. I have never seen many of the movies that you have here. Its a great discovery for me 👍
From the very first scene I was like..Yo this is filmed in Indianapolis🤩
I just love these movies. Thanks for posting! Ivan Rogers, who played the lead, was born in 1954 and passed away in 2010 at the age of 55. I never knew about him and his work until now.
“ WOW “ did not know he had passed. I have a couple of his movies may he rest in peace

The 3rd brake light in the Cadillac was cool
nice movies of the early days 100 times good
Ah, man. Accidentally clicked on this jawn. Was tryna save my little Black movie time session for later. Oh well🙆🏻♂️
Who’s this club owner Richard Pryors long lost brother???
See you woke...u the only person i noticed beside myself said hey this reminds me of Richard Pryor Club Surger Ray from Harlem night's when they shot up the club when Eiddie & Richard wouldn't give in to their demands. Good job! 👍
I thought he resembled Pryor, too! Thought I was the only one.
Nope u not the only one lol..man theses folks sleep 😄
The Messenger 7 Collier did you notice the blind man with the KOOL Mo D glasses?... the storyline is pretty messed up they beat up blind ppl women and killed that mans father then the cops beat his ass too... talk about injustice!!!
IVAN RODGERS
I wonder what city this was filmed in
your house is a sample rich environment... but my favorite is when Dick gregory cussed u out lol keep up the good work
...yes amiturish...the direction was lacking...in someways it was slow...but I thought his musicianship did something for the film...the director/producer needed practice...but his story was solid...I'm glad he made the effort...
Now looking at this movie, first thing why didn't the lady alert the security of what was happening?🤷♀️
Fletcher getting hit with that trashcan,come on now.....he ran right into that.An the can was spotless.....I love cheesy movies like this
Two Wrights make an Airplane 😜
Good film
funky as soundtrack yuh!
This movie is so bad, you can't stop watching it!
😂
Love your channel🔥🔥🔥💎💎
YOU SEE SOMEONE BREAKING INTO YOUR CAR WITH THE SECURITY GUARD SLEEPING AND YOUR FIRST REACTION IS TO PLAY A SUPERHERO. FOOLISHNESS.
If you wasn't around when these cars were on the streets you wouldn't understand these type of movies
I'm a 2005 baby and I understand it. Lol. 🤷♀️ I think you meant that ignorant people *choose* not to understand this movie. Yeah.
No I just be saying crazy shit to see who would respond
TWO WRONGS MAKE A RIGHT. REVENGE IS MEDICINAL. OR AN EYE FOR AN EYE MAKES EVERYONE BLIND.
IT is so far a good MOVIE
Is this the same plot as "Disco 9000"?

Was he a greedy individual?

@@ChrisTylerrr662yeah.

Shared with my brother, KNOW he's dying LAUGHING.😄😄😄
HEY BIG brother.😊
I enjoyed "Zebra Force" more because of its kitsch value; I WANTED to hate ZF; I couldn't!
What's that song that's playing during the opening credits?
Wonder how come the sub-genre, 'Blacktion' film never hit? Samuel .L Jackson should have named it and claimed it!
Who would go to a club where people were murdered
How is it that an Asian woman in 70s Blacktion movie doesn't know Funky Disco Kung Fu.
Picture clear as fuk!! Laser disc???
Terrible acting, sparse script, distracting music, awful stunts/fight scenes & unrealistic story. Thanks for posting this, it was awesomely bad lol.
You don't know black excellence. We does it th e best buddy pal...
Lol

Why are the cops always arresting but the innocent people?
Looks like the white woman wanted to be tied up by the brother.😂
film 1987 still looking for opening theme credits
Music is okay; overall, film is very paint-by-numbers; wooden acting. Production is better than "Zebra Force."
Not bad!

You a Hoosier??
@@bakgammon YEP.
Heather TEA I never seen or heard of this movie which I am a fellow Hoosier representing Crawfordsville about an hour due West of Naptown
Not bad for back in the day
What year is this film?
THEY DIDNT HAVE A PERMIT
JUST PAID THE GUARD
This looks older than 87
jamesway low quality film I have seen 70s flicks that are clearer!!!! Yes was born before this movie it makes me feel like a granny
True, but the hairstyles are pure 80s...
Yeah. I think it's just the quality. The clothes look like the 80s. They were prolly filming with 1979 equipment. Lol
Bass Reeves 😂😂
Jehri curls.
In beginning why didnt she wake the security dude up fs
I thought the same thing LOL
Back in them days, women knew better than to wake a Black man up from taking a nap.
I JUST 💘 IT
Nakia Fields see you like good movie to watch👀
Anytime you see the same name in the opening credits (Ivan Rogers) more than once, you know the movie is going to be horrible.
INDIANAPOLIS, IN STAND UP!!!!!!
what’s the name of the theme song?

vince vauhgn's dad (lake) is terrible in this movie (acting wise)...

This one was kinda bland.
This is one of the worst films ihave seen.
This movie was pretty wack
Lousy.
