It was actually based on The Rampart report which exposed mass corruption in the LAPD. Alonso's licence plate was even shortened to the initials of Rafael Perez who was found guilty and jailed for mass corruption.
This is by far the most rewatchable movie I ever saw. I literally started then finished and then restarted and finished only just to do all over again in one sitting! Alonzo is in top 5 best characters ever.
Considering Denzel is one of the nicest guys in Hollywood in real life he deserved his Oscar for this. Arguably one of if not his best performance as an actor.
It is true , in Chile my country , the police painted a fake scene in an operation called Huracán, in Araucania region. Operación Huracán was a fraud , it was set up by the police officers. Terrifying.

notice how both Hawke and Denzel are being extremely careful with their words regarding police? Very likely this was due to 9/11, the movie being released about a week before the attacks. Many NYPD were killed trying to evacuate the area surrounding the twin towers and get people out of the buildings, and there was not much tolerance in the public sphere for any disparagement of police. Very different time in some ways, but as of this writing (March 8, 2022) there are also a lot of similarities. Impending war. A feeling I've not had since then.
Alonso was based on Raphael Perez a very corrupt LAPD cop who went to prison and came out and became Harvey Weinstein's driver and bodyguard. He was also the inspiration for Vic Mackey from the shield. So yes there was a cop as corrupt as Alonso once but he did get caught eventually and went to prison.
Denzel in Training Day? Man on Fire? American Gangster? Which one is the best from Denzel Washington? My brother thinks it's Man on Fire.. I don't know but I love these types of movies which goes by in one day/night like this one or Collateral (Jamie Foxx, Tom Cruise)
"is there a cop like alonso? i hope not, i don't think one could get away with what he gets away with" a movie that was supposed to be aging in 2020 is ahead of its time. damn
I grew up in church with a cop who did 20 years for shaking down drug dealers back in the 90s. Church members went to court to speak on his behalf. Boy what a scandal
Training Day was good. but in my opinion denzel should of win the Oscar for Malcolm X instead. His performance was far better. In my opinion. But to black afro people we understand clearly why denzel was given the Oscar for Training Day an not for Malcolm X. Its a message to us black Afro people. What's the message? What. you ain't know. Guess nobody saw it.
If you do undercover work and you deal with the BIG FISH -----you almost have to get your hands a little dirty. Not quite on the level of Alonzo but you have to prove yourself to even get next to these WOLVES .
Great movie. But don’t get twisted, it’s fictional. Don’t try to start to political dialogue with this as cops are bad. Just Stay in ur lane and making fictional story teller
@@LAFitCoach it’s nth like the rampart scandal. Rafael Perez was in crash, he did narcotic in WLA. And btw, it was no scandal, just one dirty bag who is dirty and rat out innocent copper to stay out of jail.
One of the greatest films ever made.
And how much appreciation and attention this movie got?
@@shelbourne2875 alot. Denzel and Ethan were both nominated for Oscars. Denzel won.
And it's still one of the most quoted movies.
It's crazy you can talk to an old person a white chinese , person from other countries I've yet to see anyone who has not seen this
Facts
Definitely
2020 this hits different indeed. This movie was ahead of its time.
Neeshpeesh1234 except the white guy is the hero and the black guy is the villain
@@BeReady726 lol ain’t no hero in this film.
Rafael Perez was a dirty cop before it was cool
@@BeReady726 that can easily happen today

What really scary about this movie is how real it can become in the real world
It is true , in Chile my country , the police painted a fake scene in an operation called Huracán, in Araucania region. Operación Huracán was a fraud , it was set up by the police officers. Terrifying.

Definitely one of the best movies of all time

This film should be studied as a lesson at schools
Such a great movie . Thanks for all your blood and sweat making this !
King Kong ain't got nothin' on me, That shit didn't even sound right
King Kong ain't got shit on me, that's the real version
Censored
Why dont you watch the movie first before you spew madness repeating a censored line without the cinematic effects
Snoop Dogg's character is loosely based on a real guy in a wheelchair thanks to Rafael Perez.
What was the guys name?

You think I'm crazy right...
I don't know what to think
God the golden age, with actual great films and amazing actors like Denzel in their prime. Now all we get is CGI bull crap from Marvel

You were spot on with this because now look where we are!
My favorite Denzel movie till American Gangster came out
The Last Great movie ever made..Id love to get Ethen Hawk in a Zombie flick like the Quinton Tarantino one.That would be Epic
watch departed
Denzel and Ethan were amazing director did a great job
BOOM!
Very good chemistry
The only thing more dangerous than the line being crossed is the cop who will cross it.
Snuck into this movie as a 12 year old white kid from a town of like 2000 people and decided “yup, that’s what a man is.”
Like he said “dark subject matter...”
Classic Movie

Both of them acted good but Denzel just knocked it out the park
"KING KONG A'INT GOT SH*T ON ME...!!!"
- Det. Alonzo Harris 👍
Movie is great.
"ORP 967"
Denzel in Training Day? Man on Fire? American Gangster?
Which one is the best from Denzel Washington? My brother thinks it's Man on Fire..
I don't know but I love these types of movies which goes by in one day/night like this one or Collateral (Jamie Foxx, Tom Cruise)
collateral are awesome
I love Collateral and Training Day, two of my favorite movies
John Q as well great fucking movie
Man On Fire was overrated for me I much prefer Training Day
I LOVE THIS MOVIE
One from very best movie ever 😜 cast crew best so many star's
Raphel Perez!
Yeah that was the real guy I just watched the documentary today
"is there a cop like alonso? i hope not, i don't think one could get away with what he gets away with"
a movie that was supposed to be aging in 2020 is ahead of its time. damn

Never thought those bells could sound so hard
This movie kicks ass!
NEW York 😊😊😊
All right---taking a pole. Al Paccino in Serpico or Danzel in this. Who played a better role? Toss up for me
The entire force is dirty.85__,05
Damn...
thanks good job (y) ... what is the name of them song on trailer?
Sepad Salimi thats cypress hill superstar. All the music in this film is soooooo goood
thanks mate
Sepad rock superstar by cypress hill. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Ethan looks stoned here, hehe.
Why is snoop and dre in this movie?
Because they want to
Macy Gray is in it too.
2001 was a hot year for both of them if you were alive around that era you wouldn't be asking that question
Denzel won from this average acting job but not for the amazing job being malcom X for 3 hours
Training Day was good. but in my opinion denzel should of win the Oscar for Malcolm X instead. His performance was far better. In my opinion.

Right!!! He did hella movies that should've won a oscar but it took him to play a villainess role to win one
💯 same goes for Halle Berry in ‘Monster’s Ball’

It isn't a movie you can watch again after awhile.
That'what makes a great movie. It'isn't in the same category as Scarface.
Youre tripping. Shut up
Why the hell would you compare this movie to scarface?
I disagree
@@steveguy3 Because its just as good if not better.
@@tonyorob it's not just as good, and it sure as hell ain't better.

Great movie. But don’t get twisted, it’s fictional. Don’t try to start to political dialogue with this as cops are bad. Just Stay in ur lane and making fictional story teller
It’s loosely based on the rampart scandal back in the 90s. If you’re from LA read all about this
@@LAFitCoach it’s nth like the rampart scandal. Rafael Perez was in crash, he did narcotic in WLA. And btw, it was no scandal, just one dirty bag who is dirty and rat out innocent copper to stay out of jail.
