I could write a whole thesis on this movie. The cabs never picking them up is a reference to Black people not being picked up in NYC (and other cities). How the crows are people in the hood who keep down the people who could get out by tearing them down. "You Can't Win" is what people who won't ever be anything will tell you. How the poison poppies represent drugs. How the Emerald City represents upper class Black people (who aren't doing anything to help those in lower classes) obsessed with trends and showing that they have money. Evilene's sweat shop represents slavery and Brand New Day represents emancipation, and then the dropping and destruction of stereotypes, giving people the chance to be their true beautiful selves. This movie speaks so much to the Black experience; its impact can't be overstated.
Wow thanks for the deep dive analysis. I always wondered why the cabs never picked them up.
@@jujubee6030 Yeah, I think it's really well done. They don't even have openable doors - and from the black perspective, that might as well have been true. Even the broken-down junk ones that they weren't trying to catch went off-duty as soon as the main characters get close.
Wow
No that's not true the cab not pick them up is a reference to no free rides says the director big head to walk to get to where they were going they didn't have money so they could not catch the cab
@@mergingbutterfly Really? Where did the director say that? I haven't been able to find reference to that. But I'm interpreting anyway, the effect might have been different for me than was originally intended.
The black thing on MJ's nose was a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup wrapper
Diana Ross as Dorothy
Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow
Nipsey Russell as the Tin Man
Ted Ross as the Cowardly Lion
Mabel King was Evillene
Theresa Merritt was Aunt Em
Lena Horne was Glinda the Good Witch
Richard Pryor was The Wiz
MJ was such a phenomenal actor btw “The Wiz” was literally the first all Black/African American Cast it had a cultural impact especially amongst the black community. The reception of the movie was massive but ironically most were only going to see you guessed it the one & only Michael Jackson shows you how important and huge he was even back in the 70’s etc.😇🙌🏽👑💖💕💫(Also MJ’s vocals during “You Can’t Win” are so phenomenal flawless performance also that DEEP note is one of the deepest notes MJ has hit in his entire career he killed it his range was insane nobody could touch him way too versatile,soulful,powerful yet so angelic as well etc.)
Fire!
@@sl_1k Please React to the Spike Lee’s MJ BAD 25 Documentary & Off The Wall Documentary both in 4K on RUclips
It's also his real voice tone.
"First all black cast"? "Stormy Weather" and "Cabin In The Sky" came out in 1943, and "Hallelujah" came out in 1929!
The opening scene where the family were all together was very common in black households. Unfortunately over time things have changed, but growing up we always had to sit as a family for meals, especially on the weekends
Truth
You Can't Win is still one of my favorite MJ songs. 💯
Fun Fact: The man who wrote the script, Joel Schumacher, later went on to direct Batman Forever and Batman & Robin.
Fun fact: You are on the list of people who can't be around kids in your area.
I’m the palest person you’d ever meet and I grew up watching this movie. I loved it more then the wizard of oz. Diana and Micheal are just amazing at their craft. I used to be terrified of Evillene as a child. First time I realized I had a phobia of tiny holes. Idk why, but I absolutely had nightmares she’d get me 😂
This movie really opened my eyes to black actors and how little they were appreciated and made me appreciate this movie all the more because each actor wasn’t a stereotypical white person. Love it a lot
This movie bombed at the box office. Heard MJ “regretted” doing it but who knows if that’s true? Quincy also wasn't happy with doing the soundtrack. But this movie ended up being a classic so that's what counts. And because of it, Quincy became MJ’s producer after asking him too for his first adult solo album Off the Wall and the rest is history. So for that, I love this movie. Hope you upload a part 2.
will do bro, I'm already getting ready to film it!
Why did it bomb? Becuase the mainstream didnt see it? The wiz is a cultural classic
Quincy should be happy because he killed it. Stunning orchestrations. Deserved an Oscar for it too. This film had the best stage-to-film song adaptations of all time IMO.
That first scene in Oz when them kids came off the wall scared the crap outta me when I was little
I saw this in the theater when it first came out, and that subway scene gave me nightmares. Also, when Aunt Em says Dorothy is 24, even though I was only 10, all I could think was "Those were 24 rough years"
Also, you stopped just before one of the moments I was really wanted to see you react to. It's after Dorothy kills the wicked witch, during the song Brand New Day. I don't want to give it away, but you really should go back and say least react to that song/dance. Trust me, it'll be worth it.
How you gone spoil me like that 🤣
@@sl_1kdamn she spoiled tf outta the movie 💀💀
It’s hilarious how he’s digesting this. Remind me of myself the first time i saw this as a child.
"Now I'll never get my brain!"
"Nor my heart."
"Or my courage"
"But you don't need them now because you've had them all the time. Scarecrow, you're the one who figured out how to find the yellow brick road and how to destroy Evillene, and every smart move we've made, didn't you? Lion, you wouldn't even give up when Evillene strung you up by your tail. And, Tin Man, you have more heart than anyone I've ever known."
Fun Fact: Joel Schumacher used his connections in the fashion industry to procure the hundreds of costumes used in the Emerald City sequence.
Broadway Enthusiast Fact: The original New York City production of "The Wiz" opened at the Majestic Theater on January 5, 1975, starring Stephanie Mills, ran for 1,672 performances and won the 1975 Tony Awards for the Best Musical and Score and was nominated for Best Book.
Music Enthusiast Fact: Motown Productions bought the rights to the stage show, intending to cast Stephanie Mills as Dorothy. However, Diana Ross lobbied intensely for the role. Everyone, including Motown head and ex-lover Berry Gordy believed that she was too old, but she insisted that the role of Dorothy was ageless (which it is). She also said she would be able to guarantee Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow if she was cast.
hmm. thanks for the information, definitely interesting
SLK ...You're welcome!
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
The Wiz is a musical, and what you don’t see or understand is this film was groundbreaking for the time period; as well as a celebration of black excellence… did you know the Wiz is a parody of “the wizard of Oz. Your banter is preventing you from using your senses and your outbursts demonstrate your generation’s need for instant gratification; and I can see that you are intelligent by some of your response. Watch it again after you can take these facts in consideration please. There are life lesson imbedded in this movie. These are the biggest black entertainers in the world all through this movie.
4:39 Snow, turkey, family get-together, no christmas decorations, United States... Thanksgiving?
7:19 Dorothy is Autie Em's niece, not her daughter. Hence *AUNTIE* Em.
9:22 Uh, yeah... It's the Wizard of Oz, right?
10:10 It's not a recreation of Thriller -- The Wiz is from 1978, Thriller wouldn't be made for another 4 years. And yes, she's in a sandbox. Haven't you ever seen a playground?
11:45 No, sixes-and-sevens is a combination that means you lose at craps. Miss One is a bag lady who lives in the streets, runs numbers, plays numbers, etc.
12:49 'scuse me? You do get that the movie is a musical, yes?
15:14 Uh, no. The Wiz was a theatrical flop. But it's gained cult status since.
15:43 Uh, duh, it's supposed to be the bad, black neighborhoods of New York.
16:14 Seriously? You're a back kid from the US whose every second word is "n*gg*r", I'm a mid-forties white guy from across the Atlantic Ocean and of the two of I am the one who's heard of the Projects???
18:39 I do believe that's the cup from a Reese's Peanut Butter cup.
20:52 Uh, duh... he's Michael Jackson... maybe you've heard of him? Before he became the first black man to be surgically altered into a white girl, he was known for being an amazingly talented pop artist who could move like he wasn't being held back by a skeleton.
And yes, the Yellow Brick Road ends just before Harlem. Welcome to New York of the 1970s.
22:19 He's the Tin Man. He was a carney hustler (small time carnival artist) at the Oz edition of Coney Island before it went el foldo (bankrupt). The actor is Nipsy Russell.
23:29 They're supposed to be a barber shop quartet. And their mouths are speakers.
25:36 Because he's stuffed with old newspapers and other paper trash.
26:18 No, Fleetwood coupe Deville. His mama had high ideas! 😆
26:54 Uh, yeah... haven't you ever read "The Wizard of Oz "?
27:15 If your ass is trash?
28:28 Because they're trying to be seductive... they're working girls, get it?
28:37 More like opium. They're the Poison Poppies.
30:03 Seriously? You're watching the second of two songs pointing out he's a _lion_ -- what's this tiger shit?
31:20 Uh... you've never heard New York referred to as The Big Apple?
32:08 Emeralds.... welcome to Emerald City?
33:20 You've got to have seen The Wizard of Oz (1939) to get that one. Dorothy gets driven through Emerald City on a flatbed cart which is drawn by the Horse of a Different Color (a horse that changes color). For The Wiz they reinvented that as this elaborate runway/red carpet scene where the rich of New York do nothing with their lives but flaunt their wealth and curry favor with Oz, the big cheese.
35:41 A TV? A *TV*??? No, he's a microphone!! Mike the Mic, get it??
38:21 No, she killed Evermean, the Wicked Witch of the East. Evilene is the Witch of the West.
40:00 A "sweat shop" is a place where workers are employed at low wages and under bad conditions. The first sweat shops were fabric weaving factories, which were kept hot and damp to prevent thread breakage -- the workers sweated a lot, hence sweat shop.
Fun fact: Nipsey Russell who plays the tin man is where Nipsey Hustle got his name from
I’m glad you responded to this. Suprises how me how many young black people my age haven’t seen this or the wizard of oz. This is a change from the original where Dorothy is aged up and it’s more of a self discovery Journey. Dorothy has to learn to be an adult and to get out into the world in her own and in the end she learns that
That was a Reese Cup wrapper on Michael’s nose as the Scarecrow😂, With a Popcorn bucket as a hat too lol
The white wizard of oz is 100% opposite from the WIZ (black version) especially the green/red/gold scene
The commentary has me dying. People looking at me crazy cause im laughing so hard
And @34:15 that guy playing the piano that’s Quincy jones he then after working with Michael on the wiz he then went on and worked with Michael on his “off the wall “ and thriller album
This was my favorite version hands down the wiz is fire 🔥
“Shower’s expected late tomorrow “ always gets me😂
He was chatting 😂😂😂
I was waiting for this reaction! Michael has done a lot of skits in his Jackson 5 days. you should check them out! loved the vid
Will do, appreciate you💜
He’s funny as shit on this reaction 😂😂😂😅 had me dying laughing!
fr
No drugs. Just good clean fun.😃
Some Trivia. The special make-Up, costume and creature effects were created by Stan Winston Studios, the same studio that went on to create the special and creature effects for Terminator, Aliens, Predator and Jurassic Park.
The tin man is the late comedian nipsey Russell I have this movie on dvd I grew up in the 70s when this came out in 1978 I was 11 years old I just love the music to me as a little girl it blew me away that they actually had a wiz for black folks I still play the soundtrack ill be 56 in May 2023 this movie does have a lot of funny lines in it the late singer luther vandross wrote brand new day and the wicked witch was the late Mabel king who played rog and dee mom on the TV show what's happening you had me cracking up reviewing this movie🙋♀️🙋♀️🤣🤣🤣😊
😂😂😂😂😂thank you!
I was 8 when this came out. The first time I saw it, I loved the music. But a lot of scenes were kind of scary to me. I grew to really love it the more I watched it and the older I got once I really understood it. 😅
You didnt know Richard Pryor? 0.0 You have to give his stand up a listen
The Wiz is one of my favorite movies
Thank you for being the first person to react to this on youtube. I been campaigning for this for years
Fun Fact: The Emerald City scene was shot and staged in the Promenade of the World Trade Center in New York City. The buildings on either side of them in the crane shot are the former Tower 1 and Tower 2 of the World Trade Center.
I had to pay respects to the sub button after seeing your reaction to this. I rock with your bliss and spontaneous energy/vibe stay you man!✊🏾😭
That’s love, appreciate you brotha

This is a remake of the wizard of Oz, this was one of my favorite movies growing upand i made sure my children and lil cousins and younger family members seen t his move its a classic.
NAAH that nose is KRAZY 💀
Did bro dirty with the “YOU CANT WIIINNN” 💀
😂😂😂😂😂
So confused on how you’ve never seen The Wizard of Oz to be so lost about what’s happening in this movie.
🙄
Nipsey Russell was the Tin Man
ohh fasho
Wish more reactors would react to this
The parking garage scene scared me so bad as a kid 😂
This is one of my favorite movies ever
This a hilarious reaction bruh, just yo confusions make it worth watching with
😂😂😂😂😂
This was the first black-based movie I ever watched as a kid
Ngl when he said high schoolers are no different than middle schoolers and there idiotic he wasn’t lying I got my experience 😂😂
I'm so happy young people are giving this classic a try.
5:38
Fun fact: heels were originally created for men (in the west)
All those names you said at the begging are such black staples in acting it’s crazy Mabel king who played the wicked witch was the mom in what’s happening
Yesss!!! Love your videos!!
💜💜

I love this movie and it brings warm childhood memories. However, this is the most hilarious reaction lol.
Your real disrespectful towards a classic cuz
Just jokes.. lighten up.
Ok so I'm two videos in on your channel and about halfway through this reaction and you definitely win as my favorite reactor! I haven't laughed so hard in a while. Thank you 😊 Also I think this movie bombed because it wasn't as kid friendly as the wizard of oz. The shits terrifying and really sad. They had prostitution and drugs and shit. I appreciate it more as an adult.
I wanted Mabel to be my mama. She's so adorable.
Let’s go love your videos bro
preciate you brotha
I enjoy your videos a lot 😊
Thanks bro💜
I left this reaction only thinking, have you ever seen the Wizard of Oz. I’m glad you reacted to this but I almost feel like you never watch the Wizard of Oz to even understand why this is absolutely golden… Oh, well next reaction
The actual reaction was cool though no hate
It happened when I grew up. Our whole family always got together on the holidays.
i'm white but I love the Wiz, it was on tv all the time when i was a kid. Nipsey russell as the Tin man is great. also some minor details are book accurate: The munckins wear blue in the book and the witch of the north does have a chalkboard.
Keeep the bangersss coming
hyhy, appreciate you mane
I need part 2 of this asap. 💜💜
that's prolly where fanum got it from. he does have a lion tat.
ahh
I LOVE THISSSS
Yesssssssirrrrrr
Um its very common in black families.
More context?
The part of the Tin Man was played by Nipsey Russel, yes. Had a brain Fart.
Nipsey Russell played the tin man
@@rashadwalker8218That’s what he said.
I seriously loved this 👏 is it possible for you to react to Moonwalker as well?
Ofc, Preciate you🤞🏽
You won me over... lol...newscriber! 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️👊🏾
Yessssiiirrrrrrrrrrrr
The guy who played the tin man is Nipsey Russell.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE❤
Hey lil common known fact @25:59 that’s also years later in 1987 that’s where Michael did his BAD video there
Dose anyone know why it’s getting blurry …or it’s just me oh well I like this vid it’s funny to
I don't know either, I was wondering too.
In the scene from the subway system that area was a trap set up by the wicked witch of the west to capture them
What’s the intro song? It go hard ash.
you need to watch "the jackson being brothers for at least 6 mins"
If you've never heard of Richard Pryor, you should definitely watch some of his stuff. Start with his stand up comedy. If you like Eddie Murphy, you'll like Richard Pryor.
This a classic man
I definitely fuck with your vids bro but I think you miss things because of your comedic personality 💪🏽
Hy, I do be missing shi. But when I go back & edit I catch up, so we good, I appreciate you tho bro🤝🏾
@@sl_1k of course gang !
UP!!!
Gang!
I think the NBC Live version is a better adaptation of the stage musical. But the movie is still great!
That’s obviously the Emerald City in the Land of Oz 32:37
You talking about the original wizard of oz
Nipsey Russell
Please do a second video if you haven’t already omg!
Just saying....watch The Wizard of Oz (or read it), then re-watch this movie. You will have no questions. I'm trying to be as nice as I can!😅
Yes sirrr
Ganger
You never finished this 😂
Bro you should have done some research on these movies you select in the future.
No.
💜Sorry, but-I was just wondering if you didn't enjoy the Harry Potter series enough to continue it, given that I found your channel whilst searching out HP reactions, and noticed that you had not actually dived into the Wonderful Wizarding World, in over 10 months... :(
Yeah you definitely should've seen the Wizard of Oz before watching the Wiz cause it would make so much more sense -.-;
I have lol I just be roasting & acting confused.. just enjoy & laugh, dont mind my slowness😂
The fact that you don’t know this is a parody of the WIZARD OF OZ, is the biggest disappointment… Nipsy Russell.
Your weird for watching that
Nigga what
Your weird for not watching it nigga
I really don't understand how you are seeing a movie for the time. But you are talking the whole time. How can you get into the movie. Watch the movie, shut up and then give your review.
🚲
🍆
I love your very videos bro you don’t have to blur it bro. Just put the fair use act on the beginning of your video and I’m description bro and you’ll
Be straight
Oh fr? Bet, ima look more into it.. I was just being cautious lol, but if your right I won’t do it anymore
