One of the best movies I've ever seen! I'd watch it again and again back to back.. You find something you didn't see the last time you watched it... and Ralph is one more great guitarist!!!

If they did who cares'it still looks good and fits the movie perfectly' just cuz the price of that guitar was high dont mean anything'its still built like any other guitar except thenprice tag for the builder of that guitar wants way more money
Because a genuinely beat up vintage Martin would have costed a fortune, even in the '80s... You talk about excess, but those were guitars that were supplied for the film.
Very underrated film, Ralph was on a roll, took me ages to find this film to buy in England, eventually got a ex rental DVD, then got a digital upload....
The bridge scene is near the big black river bridge on highway 80. This is filmed on highway US 80 between Edwards, Mississippi, and Bovina, Mississippi.

Roots Manuva - Brand new 2nd had one of the best solo albums of all time. Its over 20 years old now and is what real hiphop sounds like. Never sold out to the music industry and it calling them out. his stuff reminded me of this exact film.
I got slapped by my guitar tutor, we both loved the movie and I said the line and then he slapped me. Was meant to be pretend but he accidentally slapped me! I even made the noise Like the kid did! My guitar tutor, "dude Im so sorry, I didn't mean to do that" I couldn't stop laughing!
Ralph Machio is revisiting his old roles. I’d love to see him reprise this role, as Lightning. He beat the devil at a young age, before he realized how serious it all is. Now as a middle aged man, he’s had a long road, and the devil would like to try to beat him again. The devil should be played by a cgi version of this dude, and the money should go to his estate, help out his family. Ralph would have given up on music, and embraced all kind of different religions to try to ward off the devil. He wrote a book in the 90s, and now in 2020, he just wants to be left alone, but now as the war between heaven and hell intensifies he can’t keep running forever.
MisterRlGHT OR Ralph takes a new young buck under his wing like Willie did for him. Now he’s the old man, and together they have to defeat the devil. - Update I can imagine a rap battle, or something. It could be good I just like the idea of seeing the old guy: Scratch, done in realistic CGI, reprise his role. Steve Vai can come back, as a broken devil dewd or something. There’s a lot they can do here. The kid could be a son he didn’t know he had, and ole Scratch is trying to destroy Ralph’s soul that way. He can’t take Ralph, so he goes after his son. Ralph has to find a son he didn’t know he had, and teach him everything he knows to prepare him for His challenge. This could be as creepy, and scary as the new Paranormal series or the grudge, or something.
@@remc5386 Yes, and the kid can't pull his face away from TikTok long enough to compete for anything, so Satan wins by default & carries both their souls home with him to hell! Great idea, love it!
I watched this back when I was younger with my late dad. I didn’t understand who they were referencing and remember how did ‘muddy waters’ invent electricity?! It’s wet and muddy... 😆
I live 2 minutes away from a crossroad. Might bring my old 2002 japanese Jazzmaster and strike a deal with the dark lord, to be able to play without 3 delay pedals, a reverb pedal and a few overdrive pedals all at once?! Although he might ask me to trade a delay pedal for my soul. No chance! Great film though, I only seen this properly a few weeks ago. Brilliant!
My favorite and most influential movie on my life. I was a stone cold metal head until I experienced the film Crossroads.
Me to i love it and i see so much of myself there
You said it, brother. Same here. Rare quality in this film.
You start playing harmonica
I can hear ya , brother
I just love it when he said "you probably bought that guitar because it was beat up! " Such a classic statement.

"Bought it just because you thought it was BEAT up!" -Willie Brown, Greatest Hobo That Ever Lived to all the hipsters blowing a small fortune on "vintage" gear you couldn't have given away for free in the late 90's.....
Hipsters don't even buy vintage guitars, they buy brand new "relic" guitars that you pay extra to buy pre-worn in a factory.
Hipsters buy shit ironically to piss off everyone who hates hipsters the way their dad's hated yuppies.
Robert Johnson. Pure legend. The source of all things rock and roll. Sad no one knows him.
I do. Since 1967.
We do .
Dude, almost everyone knows him
Ain't nothing more precious valuable than the wife and kids. Shove that fame and fortune up your arse,
ROBERT JOHNSON IS IN THE NOTES ,,,,,AND ON EVERY CROSSROADS......
"Muddy Waters invented electricity!"....man I love that phrase!

Isnt Ralph Macchio David Lee Roths guitarist? Asking for a friend.

3:05 “Muddy Waters invented electricity”
Sounds semi legit enough for me
Gods honest truth
Doesn't seems right but I'm too lazy to disprove so... Yeah true
Muddy Waters is immortal, confirmed.
Muddy Waters didn’t invent electricity. I did! Muddy Waters is the devil!
Did Joe Seneca win all kinds of Oscars for this role? Because he sure as hell should have. This is a great scene,
More depth than most 80s movie's Jon Seneca was amazing nice little gem.
Alright ,but ,can we talk for one minute about Eugene-Ralph's attitude while he is playing ??? I MEAN HE'S THE MOST HANDSOME GUY I EVER SEEN.
wut?
"Wax on" could have blocked that slap. Or maybe "wax off", I forget.
Wax off definitely.
“Wax on fuck off”
The bridge scene is near the big black river bridge on highway 80. This is filmed on highway US 80 between Edwards, Mississippi, and Bovina, Mississippi.
Yep. I know that bridge. There are trees on both sides now making it difficult to see the fields. Looks like they were walking east towards Edwards.
This movie changed my life as a kid playing the guitar. I saw it in the theaters when it came out..Still a #bluesman
Oh, this movie did something special for me too. I ended up a classical guy, but the blues in this film hits me square in the middle.
@@bgaona Funny thing is that I dabble a bit on the Classical lol. I always as a kid wanted to go to Julliard. Great movie from the 80's!
This films a trap like that.
My man took that slap like a champ
And the crap thing is, whenever I suugest that one of my friends watch an awesome movie called Crossroads, they thnik of that Britney Spears crap.

Omg that’s so funny
To be fair, she is the Robert Johnson of our time.

whitewashing crap.
I got a ugly beat up Martin 1947 00-18 .Hand me down ..play it every day . Can't wait to give it to my son !! Blues Forever ! Great Video. Thank you !
Don't make a deal, do the work and any hard work pays off.
I'm old enough to know that I've never heard of this movie and wish I did . I wonder why this wasn't pushed on the youth like karate kid was
That's sad at 1:48 when the devil tricks him into thinking he can sell his soul. Makes me cry.
The soundtrack to this movie is epic
the all movie is épic...
ES 335 Gibson case that replaced Martin case when truck on the set ran over the original case!
He looks like a mini Elvis Presley
I would do exactly what this story is about! I’d give my soul for music man I love it! Music is my everything!
What has stopped you from selling your soul today? People do it daily
Daniel-san: Pick on / Pick off
Scratch: Sweep the knee!! Muhahaha

that was good tight slap willie!
ok. i forgot i comment on this 2 years ago. God damn, been that long?
yes

This film is a great story &. awesome music.
I cant tell you how many quotes I still use from this movie daily..........., "Long Island Blues"
Damn, the Karate kid just got “Chris Rocked”
Wish I could play the blues like that.
I still have this movie on VHS. Shoot, I should return it. I probably owe them ten grand in late fees.

What do you expect boy, a kiss? This is the birthplace of the blues. Heartbreak and hard times.
If i want to make him pay, i'll join with Butler playing For The Love Of God or whatnot, let his soul trapped in that contract forever.
I was just looking at Cadillac records they left a lot of stuff out like Robert Johnson
Best movie ever!
What titel movie
I'm pretty sure he might be tougher then mister myiagi dam that slap was fire 🔥
No shit blues men useless are
