This was good, from beginning to end! It was so cool seeing all black actors we never see anymore.
Was it really good veronica?
Yes indeed! I would love to see Denzel and Wesley one more time combat in the arts and crafts of acting.
Check out Lovecraft Country
I agree so so much u are so so right 100 percent
I think you could cast Mr. Jones in any movie ever made and he would make it an instant classic. Love the man.
Oh ... my ... gosh ... I thought I'd never see this again. This is from back when TNT made tv movies. A true TNT ORIGINAL .... I didn't have to go to the movie theater, because TNT, USA Network and Lifetime had the best movies ever. And there were still made for TV movies on ABC, NBC and CBS back then. You are amazing.
This movie 🍿 is legendary and is a great example of not letting the enemy own your body, mind and soul ✊🏿
I always loved these early 90s movies.
Yesss👏🏽
Loved it. Great acting, seems like a lost art today.
Wow! Great throwback... Alot will not know that James and Courtney were in the orginal play, Fences.
All-STAR CAST through in through love my Black People Forever !
✊🏾
You're in my head 😊

Thank you for uploading this! I’m a huge Boxing fan!
Wow! So good to see Ketty Lester (as grandmother of Courtney B. Vance's character) who recorded one of my very favorite songs, "Love Letters Straight From Your Heart"
As you know, this wasn't the first time these two great actors starred in a movie together. James Earl Jones, and Billy Dee Williams also starred in the movie "The Bingo Long Traveling All Stars & Motor Kings".
The king of swagg...mr Billy Dee himself.
That movie is seriously underrated! I LOVE that movie about the Negro League! 💯🎯✊🏾
Good music in this flick! Excellent musicians are scoring the music!
Thank you for posting this!
Another role Gloria Rueben slayed. She really is underrated
Billy Dee had the most villainous performance I’ve seen since Pacino in Scarface.
Thank you for finding so many good movies that I've never heard of. I'd thought I'd seen all movies.
23:38 BINGO!
OMG. I'm actually old enough to remember this movie..,🤫🤭🙈
...and I am old enough to have written it! Hope you enjoyed...

james earle is a legend
1:24:00 I could watch James Earl Jones put Billy Dee Williams and those fight commission guys in their place over and over ("You can kiss the last thing that clears the door!") every day
Decent movie. I am here because James Earl Jones. Mr. Jones did his part. It was the writers that lacked on this one.
I love a good boxing movie
A fly tells an incredible story!
Not seen this before, to me its an old classic film.
It's the lady from the matrix!😱
Yep the oracle Ms Gloria Foster
After I saw Sugar Brown I kept looking for NEO! Where was NEO?
That was unexpectedly pretty good! Thunder is Angela Bassetts husband in real life, ya'll!!
Awesome !
Geezus this love story got fire up under me
Thid site reel black one is one of the best site's on the whole internet this is amazing your documentaries movies interviews..ect..are second to none i mean NONE.!!!!
WOW...Wasn't expecting Mr Jones to punch out 0fay !!! 😂 Mr Jones hittin' on Gloria Foster (ex Wife of Clarence Williams the 3rd)that's cute😘 Yes Gloria Rueben is a very good underrated actress. Also underrated Cortney B Vance.I'm enjoying seeing my peeps ! 😊❤
@Reelblack Do You have The Original Roots part 1-6 I know I am asking a lot but after seeing what you upload you are magical!
I don't intentionally post things that are readily available/ still in print. You can buy the DVD or rent the stream on Amazon. Any decent public library has it.
Look at u wanna watch some roots and curse out white people lmao😂
@@reelblack Ok Thanks.
@C-LAROCK THE MAYOR i feel uou lol
William December Williams Jr. did very good in this movie.
He sure did.
I am so in love with his name
Well... the king of swagg can only do what he is good at doing....he has my vote. Love him luv him love 💙❤️ him.
I enjoyed this movie. Thank you. I sure would like to know who did the soundtrack from beginning to end.
I'm the writer, Art Washington--we were extremely fortunate to have Grover Washington, Jr.(no relation) agree to do the music for the film. This movie was based on a number of real events and Black Folks I encountered in the fight game. The real "Percy"(who unfortunately passed away) has a small part in the movie. Shadeed Suluki, a world-class boxing trainer(son Kamal Suluki) oversaw all the fight material.
@@NativeBlackAmericanTv Thank you sir for that info.
Damn good movie
Great movie 🍿
33:28 Diamond (Lisa Raye) off THE PLAYAS CLUB🤣 DAD
The Don King way of things

Please post Buck and the preacher
"Come on in the water's mighty fine!" I guess that's how they stole millions from Iron Mike.
If they only knew he was Darth Vader..
Really Njoyed this film, thanx for sharing ! Love James Earl Jones but seen few of his roles. It's fun to watch his lips flapping all about when he's talking.
Alain Vosselman ....his lips flapping all about?..yeah ok.
Alain Vosselman Oh...you especially enjoyed watching Mr, Jones flapping lips?...what you trying to say.
@@hrwatchinpuff6551 Don't mean this in a negative way. The man is VERY articulate and his lips are always very much on the move when his talking, check it out ..fun to watch that's all ! Great actor.
Leave mufasa alone.
Everyone was in this movie
Perry Israel ... STOP 🛑! tripping you know doggone well that EVERYONE WAS NOT in this movie 🎥🍿 3-25,2021
I counted at least 10 famous black actors and actresses.
Star studded #BlackExcellence
Ivan Dixon had a lot to do with it. We shot a chunk of it in LA... and Ali spent a big part of a day on set when we were shooting at the old Hoover Gym(now gone, I believe) in South Central LA. Lotta folks were there/dropped by because of Ivan Dixon(director).
Enjoy it ☺️
So Vader and Lando are plotting to topple the emperor without the help of Solo...
Watson Satot Didn't NEED Solo!!
Good movie
A solid Jewel.
The sound track is amazing ...who did the music score ?????
Tom Scott and Grover Washington Jr.
Good, right?!
Alright Cato, at the beginning of the movie when they were running the credits, it clearly reads: "Music by Tom Scott and Grover Washington, Jr."
reelblack Great collaboration.
nice one!
OFFICIAL FLICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
R. U. READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm the second person to watch

The Oracle from the matrix the waitress
Vader and Calrissian
some of the films a bit dead, but sometimes you get a homerun.
0:27 0:29 WHAT IS SO DARN EXCITING AND SPORTSMAN LIKE TO SEE GROWN PEOPLE RIP EACH OTHER APART WITH GLOVED FISTS. I MEAN, PEOPLE ACTUALLY BET ON WHO'S GONNA WIN BY KNOCKING OUT THEIR APPONANT OR BEAT THEM UP SO BAD, THEY CAN'T FIGHT ANYMORE. PEOPLE GET HUGE MONEY FOR THIS?
BARBARIC!
🥊
The matrix. The Oracle. That's who brown sugar is. Did they make this movie at the same time as the matrix cause ol girl is fine as all get out.
...I "think" we did it BEFORE... Ivan Dixon directed and the cast knew him well...
Correction! Please... Art "Williams" is a cool name--BUT it was written by ART WASHINGTON--I know, because I am him. Thanks... and please check out another film I am proud of: KEEP THE FAITH, BABY, The Adam Clayton Powell story. Hated Hollywood--and fought with a bunch of the Folks who run the joint...but... managed to stick around and get these 2 done... so--please fix the name. Fought with Spielberg over this damn thing(his company produced-lousy encounter with the guy...usual Hollywood race crap)... and while I wasn't thrilled with a few things... sure feels good to see some of you folks seem to really have enjoyed the movie. Thank you.
Will do. Thanks for the info.
@@reelblack ...thank "you". What you're doing/providing is important, valuable and greatly appreciated. By all. AND well done...
so lance had the hat beefore farrell!😜

Great movie... Life is full of cesspool rodents trying their damnedest to screw every last dollar... Never surrender, life is to short, you only get one crack at it...
