See when bumpy passed a mess u knew what was going to happen he was simple he set the standard for Harlem now fast-forward in some wierd way without knowing he took care of others cities without knowing like jersey Philip and Pittsburg connection
This scene still sends chills down my spine. Powerful acting by Chi. "Harlem used to be, still and silent at night. You can thank yourself for the way it is now". The truth in that!
*What Bumpy understood, was a fact Illinois **_refused to accept,_** which is: **_in order to resolve a problem, sometimes things have to get worse before they get better._*
Powerful scene…. You can see Illinois is in total despair… he recognizes the truth… and yet bumpy is hurt as well, however he knows he can’t show a slight but of weakness, but because Illys grief cuts so deep…. Bumpy gets more and more agitated because he knows the pain he brought upon, and being it’s his family…. He can’t touch him…. Not only for that reason, but it’s also because he knows illy is right… bravo! What a wonderful display of acting! Such a shame it’s not appreciated more….
plus he gave up his gun. I also Thought Chi McBride did an excellent job. Also McBride is a great actor and should get more roles with big time actors such as Fishburne, and others.
@@missayawk exactly. I never quite understood that part and it just goes to show and prove how sloppy Bumpy could be at times.. that’s why he was blamed for a lot of things.
Great acting all around. The best portrayal of Bumpy Johnson ever. Vanessa Williams in her peak. Whispers. Even the ice cream sundae scene. Not to mention the scenes with Madame Queens bodyguard. He was serious
So true,,so sad how they using us black people from music sports and entertainment to just living in a neighborhood..I pray ALL black people wake up and see that we're being laughed at everyday
The last thing you ever want to do is leave or dismiss your loved ones in anger. Illinois was hurt because the woman he loved was murdered. Bumpy dismissed Illinois in anger and Illinois was murdered. Bumpy ended up with the anger and guilt.
What kind of enterprise did he think he was in? You are a gangster, you gamble and kill people. The money you make is blood money. When your job is to carry a gun you out your loved ones at risk. It's sad when innocents die but that is a choice you made everyday you walked out thst door. Blaming Bumpy isn't gonna do anything.
2:21-241.... the real Turn up!! "Don't make me raise, come over there and put my hands on you"!!! I I think that he touched a little bit of his inner Ike Turner on that scene.
Once again self recognition, he knew he was being played. It's always worse when you don't know. That's why some are kept stupid for the pure agony of it.
How was he a joke he trying to keep something in black folks hand he fought for it blacks was getting k.lled just leaving the neighborhoods back in them days life always been way tough for blacks through history
Psycho Santanero714 the great Paul Benjamin if you like him in this movie check him out in his younger days if you haven't already done so, "Across 110th Street" a classic✊

He reminds me of how I handle situations. I don't start s... and do not like arguing but sometimes peep push my buttons. I am calm and collect, but if you constantly nag me I will hurt your feelings. That's just the way I'm built💪💪
I know most of you commenting love this movie.And if you do...check out this 1984 classic The Cotton Club with Richard Gere, Gregory Hines ( R.I.P), Bob Hoskins, James Remar ( plays a psycho Dutch Schultz) and Lawrence Fishburne playing Bumpy for the 1st time.Also a special guest star( you'll know the voice, before the face).Thank me later.
Bumpy lost himself in that game of mobsters. That’s what Queen was talking about. She wasn’t hard core gangster like killing people she was a numbers lady protecting her turf
I damn near almost 😢 every time I watch this. Illinois was right. "I wish I never gave you that muthafuckin gun" was strong but when Illinois told bumpy "I'm Threw Cuzzin" and "We The Joke Whispers" maaannn a straight BLOW RIGHT THERE
I LOVE THIS MOVIE IT ALWAYS FELT LIKE A GIANT BROADWAY PLAY NOT LIKE A SCREEN MOVIE HEY THEY SHOULD MAKE THIS A BROADWAY PLAY I WOULD GO SEE IT. ANYWAYS THIS IS A GOOD MOVIE I LOVE IT ONE OF THE BEST I SEEN. NO DIGITAL EFFECTS.

As drunk as Illinois was, Bumpy and the crew should’ve made sure he got home safe.. and not just let him leave by himself like that
plus he gave up his gun. I also Thought Chi McBride did an excellent job. Also McBride is a great actor and should get more roles with big time actors such as Fishburne, and others.

Bumpy was so cool, he made me shiver..
Sad scene but I love this movie though.

sad that illinois died on his way home, made his death that much harder for bumpy to take because he never got to apologize

We can't do what they do and shouldn't try because it never works for us the same as it does for them.
ODG old disgruntled gamer that quote is what make this scene so powerful cause he stating facts 😔😔😔😔
But notice how it ended for Dutch...
Going over your head. Not mine.
0:59 This part gets me Bumpy: Me walking in the church and you carrying on, Ain't Gon Bring Mary Back
My mom got mad at me because I miss my grandma funeral I told her me walking in the church and you carrying on ain't Gon bring granny back

Casting director KILLED IT!!
Once again self recognition, he knew he was being played. It's always worse when you don't know. That's why some are kept stupid for the pure agony of it.
Larry Fishburne’s widows peak stole the scene.
Aka The Eddie Munster
Powerful scene...they really was the joke...everyone was gone.
dutch didn,t laugh for long his own man killed him and lucky luciano,s man killed him
How was he a joke he trying to keep something in black folks hand he fought for it blacks was getting k.lled just leaving the neighborhoods back in them days life always been way tough for blacks through history
That’s the only person who can talk to him like that

Did you watch the movie at all ? She was creeping with him 😂
"Like Jack the bears brother, I can't go no further." That was a bar on so many levels.🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪
Bumpy lost himself in that game of mobsters. That’s what Queen was talking about. She wasn’t hard core gangster like killing people she was a numbers lady protecting her turf
And Dutch would of eventually ran her over Bumpy knew how the game had to be played
Comes to show you that street life divides,not uniting at all...tragic scene.
