@@markjohnson-sl9qf today it's corny but when it was released in '79 man we went ballistic over this. I was 16 and me and my best friend took our girlfriends to the drive-in movie to see it...but you're right. It shouldn't take a Hollywood movie to know you don't want to go to prison. 😂😂
Man back in 82 when I was 12yrs a friend of mines had this movie on VHS. One day we were out of school for something so we decided to go over my friends house and watch the movie. It was our first time watching the movie and we had a ball. We had to look out for my friend snitching older sister. She was in High School and we weren't sure if she was coming home early.
As a young lad, I heard that most men in jail were just about as friendly and wholesome as our buddy Mr. Half-Dead. There isn't much more motivation needed for a young man to stay out of trouble.
My moms friend took us to see this movie thinking it was gonna be like a scared straight documentary. My sister and I saw way more than we needed to see 😂
I remember seeing this with my cousin, aunt and uncle at the drive in, I don’t think they expected it to be like this 🤣especially with a 7 and 9 yr old in the car 😅
This is one of my classics. Even little ass Leon was able to survive and thrive but it told me to never get locked up. These dudes was "lucky" to get some females while locked up.
This bath room scene + bath tub scene in "Superfly" + Isaac possessed getting down with Christina in "JDs Revenge" + Dolimite with Hurricane in "The Human Tornado" etc ... My preteen sex ed.
Gloria Delaney was a fox. She never became a household name. I remember her on Sanford & Son, A Piece Of The Action, and The Human Tornado. In Blue Collar with Richard Pryor, Yaphet Kotto, and Harvey Keitel, Harvey was down there munching away on Gloria when Yaphet's character (Smokey) had a swingers party 😆
@@cmoneytheman everytime I go to watch a movie on RUclips, it seems that RUclips have roved them, not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but a lot of films no longer can be found, I've heard about different ways of downloading movies from varied sites, but not really too up to scratch with them all, will have to ask the kids how to do it lol
I never watch prison movie just comedy action musical but now iwatch prison movies sometime i watch any movie's that got some fine goodlooking cute sexy man's in it
Jayne Kennedy was the only thing worth seeing in this worthless piece of trash. I saw it when I was 22, thought it was cool. Saw it again when I was in my 30’s, I could not watch it. Terrible acting, followed by a barbaric script. None of the actors has claimed this piece of trash, on their resumes. 😮
Raise your hand if you had to sneak to watch this on VHS 🖐🏾
Yep still got the vhs
👋🏿
Definitely the bathroom scene.. I’ll never forget it lol
@@alvinsavage7701 Huge Juggs 😂
@@alvinsavage7701 Smartest man in the movie.😂
This was the movie that kept me out of jail!!!
It took a corny movie to keep you out of jail. Wow that say's alot about you.

@@markjohnson-sl9qf there have always been movies that have had this affect. American Me, Blood In Blood Out, list goes on
The bathroom scene with the ladies is classic cinema.
When she jumped out on him he says “you almost got hurt” 🤣😂🤣
We ain’t got time for no jaw jacking. I been locked up for a long.

I Was 3 Years Old When I Was Sent To The Penitentiary Now I'm 43 And I'm Finally Up For Parole 🗝
Same, first watched when I was 9. Hardcore
I just found this movie at Goodwill on DVD from Xenon. Wanted to see how it was. I didn’t even know this was a Vinegar Syndrome release.
I don't remember the last time it was on cable television
This movie set up 'Body and Soul' with the absolute lovely Jayne Kennedy. Leon's wife at the time.😊
I remember that one!!!
one of the greatest trailers of all time!
I remember seeing this with my cousin, aunt and uncle at the drive in, I don’t think they expected it to be like this 🤣especially with a 7 and 9 yr old in the car 😅
Damn, prison was like this in 79!!??? @0:42, they dancin and pop lockin with a full BAND!! Wowww
I came to the comments to see if they listed who the dancers were?
Always fast forward to the bathroom scene lol 👍
LOL. ALWAYS. Funny how a little tit flashing used to be enough back then
That's one HELL of a trailer.
It was ratchet but also one of the most entertaining movies of my childhood and oh-so real for those times in society! 😊
MAGILLA! wanting those gloves off was the funniest thing 🤣🤣
MAGILLA!
You beat the count magilla!
I thought Leon Isaac Kennedy and Sugar Ray Leonard were the same person 😂
This is one of my classics. Even little ass Leon was able to survive and thrive but it told me to never get locked up. These dudes was "lucky" to get some females while locked up.
I have this movie on my Tubi playlist!!!
CLASSIC!!!
Lol me too 😂👍🏾
Big Jessie don't want no woman!!!😂
Leon Issac was a bad man. I hated him because Jayne Kennedy was in love with him & not me. 😮
This movie taught me about the do’s and don’s of lockup ❤
Yep. Do right and don’t get locked up!
