in a movie.

I nominate Daman Wayans starring as T-Bone in Colors.

I know the Wayans are from the projects, but he ain't this dude.

Damon played him right. T-Bone wasn't right in the head no way so when you add drugs into the mix, that's what you get.

now gimme my bunny rabbit!!

The Rico Suave guy, Mario Lopez, Maria Conchita Alonzo, that one black dude from Hollywood Shuffle. The "cutting in McFly" redhead

"To Each His Reach"

but.....

Fuck aliens.

I know he wasn’t playing a hood dude but he was so unbelievable on that role.

Love the movie but his mannerisms always cracked me up. You could tell he practiced his stance in a mirror for months.

...to the hood? I forgot what his mom's hood was like in the movie, so I'm not sure.

Same with Ricky. He was in the hood, but played sports so he was shielded from a lot of the BS (until his crew got mixed-up w/ them bloods).

He spent weekends and summers with his dad too

More than enough time to have a little swag.

He fit the role for the movie but personally he was always a fish out of water in that movie.

Cuba def looked unnatural even playing a fish out of water in that role. I can picture exactly what you're talking about re: him practicing in front of a mirror for months for that role lol. He's so stiff. But it worked.

Great movie.

manages to sound more LA than most of LA

That first run...48 Hours, Beverly Hills Cop, Trading Places...Eddie WAS that young, hip, street-wise dude.

Then never again...

When he came back for the sequels and Golden Child, he almost seemed to be doing an impression of his younger self.

Then after his long string of family movies, he tried to recapture that character in Tower Heist, and it was painful to watch. Actually, Charlie Murphy would have hit that role out of the park.

and how to mad dog. And the first time he puts it to use. I couldn't find those tho

This was a 3 part special jump st deep dive into gang culture. I used to have it recorded on VHS lol

to be the "real" Gangbanger comes off as more of an undercover cop than Depp in this scene

and 10 seconds later it's the afternoon

scene also always reminds me of pre gentrified Venice

in this scene!

I don't even know what accent Oldman was going for there

The other 2 brothers in the scene weren't much better at acting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IJSDZI-xw4

crazy. talking about Tarantino being the new kid on the block

Larenz Tate as "Lucky" in Waist Deep

Maybe it was the timing of the movie but he had me shook. Reminded me of my boy but with a gun instead of his fist.

Ionno if it was seeing it in NYC and paying so much to see it but that movie had me and my sister on the edge of our seats.

Colors tho... crazy how a movie that was so real is now comical once you get older.

I'll give you "O-Dog"

but "Lucky" hell naw.

While they were on set, talking to him about how they went to the same prep school, and Chris was trying to get him to keep it down because he thought it was fucking up his cred with the Baltimore kids lol

I fell out when I learned he was English AF and then I moved on with my life because every damn person white, black or whatever playing 'Merican characters is from England, New Zealand or Australia.

EVERY FUCKING BODY

Mario Van Peebles as Rappin Hood in the motion picture "Rappin."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoGLoj1N9XE

Dude just popped-up up in the projects all lite with no spanish accent/connects and no recognizable skills. Didn't hustle, wasn't a shooter, wasn't a brain, wasn't a front/legit guy, etc.

he played the role of a hood perfect.... but seems nothing like that in real life.

Always loved this scene from Black Dynamite

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldNi-OmiKDk

Played a tough in original gangsters

IDK, he might even be a real hood dude

But the contrast of Braxton and OG Spyro = LOL

I'll never forget the image of Braxton wearing a doo-rag and thugging it up

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117260/mediaviewer/rm821711104

still funny.

I remember seeing him in walking around Soho maybe 20 years ago and dude's gait & style of dress indicated a very "preppy" upbringing. His wiki seems to back that up also, yet he was cast in all sorts of thug roles back in the day. See Jason's Lyric, Strapped, Caught Up, etc.

This is more recent, but you can kinda see what I'm saying from this pic.

Yes he's from Harlem, but so am I, and I'm not "hood".

but Braxton from Jamie Foxx.. that’s the winner.

I'll give him that much

Never seen two dudes shoot a fair one on the cardboard w/ windmills.

that were like "really dude"

the lines and his mannerisms on that show is comical.

They really were letting him do anything he wanted in the later seasons.

I think the story was dude was tired of playing Urkel and demanded more roles or he was leaving the show.

which is why he had that ladies man character.

always makes me think he's some classically trained dancer stuck playing a generic thug for Charles Bronson to beat up:

Death Wish 3 is a hilariously violent movie

in the air before falling.

...back in middle school.

Mom got them De'Londa vibes.

this man said egregious

That shit was absolutely putrid.

I thought he was Afro-Latino for the longest after that role. After that movie, I saw him in an interview, and I was like, "Wait, he's not Latino?"

More or leh
Tiger woo, Tiger woo

the Bale/Wright stuff was the only interesting thing in that movie.

ESPECIALLY Tuco

The ones that, after doing all that shit to sneak into the country, making them look all bad and scary, but when it came time to carry out the hit on a DEA agent...





...they jumped out from behind some cars in a parking lot, one got smoked and the other was shot up.

Like, what kinda plan was that yo?

That was really the best they could do?
