Oh there are so many of us. That was a great time in my life. And Jack Black and the Heart Attack is still one of my favorite bands.@@chiefbigskydrinkfirewater5308
This movie was everything to me growing up! I found it randomly in the late 80s in a VHS rental shop and it became an instant classic. I love Jim Carroll and he was so underrated in the punk genre scene and was such an exceptional poet deserving of much more recognition. .

3:32...lead singer is still AWESOME after all these years!!! Jim Carroll may you rest in eternal peace, my friend!!!
I saw the Jim Carroll band, I think after the 2nd record came out, maybe before. It was in a dump of a venue called "Mr C's Rock Palace" around Lowell, MA. The band was late to start, hour and half about. But then the band kicked in, Jim took the stage with long red hair and had the dance floor to himself that he took full advantage of. We are all a bit stunned by the impact after the long wait. They kicked ass. Jim put on a great performance. He was a real talent.
Michael McLoughlin Jim was a friend of mine. But the only time I saw him perform was when he told me he was being introduced by Lou Reed at a concert for MTV at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic N.J. Lou Reed was Jim's friend I think Lou & The rolling stones were probably his biggest influences. Jim closed the show with "People who died"-he blew the roof off the place. The whole crowd went into the street singing "People who died" At breakfast at the luncheonette the next morning he asked me if I liked the show. Of course I did ,everyone there liked that show. I'd never heard of Tuff Turf until seeing this clip This was great "It's too late" a good song. I'll have to check the movie out.RIP Jim-from another Catholic Boy.
This is one of my favorite scenes of this movie, seeing Robert Downey Jr shirtless playing the 🥁 😎🎸🥁, and Jim Carroll rocks ! Great singer, RIP. And Robert Downey still looks hot to me ,he looks the best out of all the actors lol
Gee I didn't know Robert Downey played drums. I'm gonna go get me a headband and some leg warmers, push up the sleeves on my shiny jacket and find a girl with big hair. How did I miss this movie when it came out. This movie is so bad it ought to be required viewing in history classes everywhere
What a weird journey today... I spent the day showing my gf the movie "the secretary" ofc i hadnt realized James Spader was the lead.... then i dug around... found Tuff Turf and then fell in love with this riff.... had no clue if the band was real or not lol and BINGO here I am listening to a song that was played long before i was even born.... Then it hit me.... looking at a young james spader and even younger robert downey ffs if we could just stop aging at 25 or 30 lol
and opened a whole new generation of listeners. I was clued into Carroll by this very movie. And the drummer? Yep, that's Robert Downey Jr. - Iron Man himself.
I’ve been trying hard to find the full soundtrack to this movie, mainly for Marianne Faithful’s ‘Love Hates,’ but no luck so far other than some cracked, used vinyl a guy wants $80 bucks for. I only just discovered this movie about 5 years ago but it’s now in my top 10 favorite movies from the 80’s! Thanks for this great clip.
Michael McLoughlin @anthonyfoutch Yes I was on the same program as Jim.From in the early-mid '80's Then I left for awhile' But I was back in '92-96 when the program had moved 2 blocks north. In Oct. of '96 I was eating breakfast with Jim & others when I told them I was leaving for Pa.In a few days & I'd be back Jan.'97. I am still in Pa. now Life is full of surprises.
All the times in the 80's in which I saw so many Porshes with the top down and the keys left in the ignition....I never went for a joy ride....Gee....those moments of regret......
gimme that car ive always wanted,,, if i ever have enough money il get me one of those,,, even harder to find in the UK,,,, love the film takes me back to my early teens.
Little Robbie Downey was jazzed when Jim Carroll, the coolest, older kid asked if he wanted to play drums for him. Little Robert's Mom didn't like that one bit. She'd always express concern: "I don't want you hanging out with him. He's a bad kid and he's just gonna get you in trouble. You know, he smokes the funny cigarettes, oh yes he does. He's on the pot."
For those who don’t know the lead singer is Jim Carroll author of “The Basketball Diaries” Leo Dicaprio played him in the movie of the same name…… and the drummer?… Couldn’t tell you. He looks familiar though.
I wrote a poem one time about sticking a paper clip in a Porsche and driving south from SF along Highway 1 in the fog. Race you for a pink slip, Spader.
OMG Frankie Frankie....such an inspiration to me. If she smoked 1120's I would have had a cardiac...so fucking hot. Then 30 years later someone tells me about this house wives shit and Kim Richards and I am like WHAT???? OMG, she will always be Frankie to me and this is the only thing I knew of her. So I go from Frankie to seeing this old hag on housewives...OMG, what happened? It's too late literally
This was an excellent 80’s movie! Spader was as good at it as he is now on anything he touches! Tons of stars in this Robert Downey JR ,Kim Richards,Jim Carrol the genius! Jim Carrol Band was a great band!
i read basketball diaries, i like the other jim caroll song about people who died...but never heard of this movie...maybe a good thing.

Can one even imagine the babes in this clip and how they appear today?! Extremely college educated, married to plastic surgeons, inherited family cash, etc. Life indeed marches on...

You’re going to love it@@damnyankeefl
That makes at least two of us, lol.
Oh there are so many of us. That was a great time in my life. And Jack Black and the Heart Attack is still one of my favorite bands.@@chiefbigskydrinkfirewater5308
I remember thinking Morgan was the coolest character ever. So let’s make it 3 of us 😂
I make no apologies for loving this cheesy movie. I love this song too!!

A true legend
@wavygr I miss him more than the others I salute him!
The guy at 2:20 with the sunglasses on the stairs always cracked me up. Love this song. My favorite song by jim Carroll.
absooolutely
Dude is grooving out
What is he even listening to?

Saw them on Landsdowne Street
One of the best songs of all time doesn't get enough recognition
"I'm here to give you my heart and you want some fashion show"
Great album!
So relevant today. Jim was a gem and still is
Though they do get good drugs and they do give good head!
I'm old. I remember when Tuff Turf was a coming attraction at the theater.
Michael McLoughlin
Jim was a friend of mine. But the only time I saw him perform was

It was the 80's dude. Jim was still a badass.

I don’t think you could make a better movie, hey wait a second you can’t make a movie cause your sitting at home in your trailer mocking this!
The first movie that my father saw when he arrived to this country, he was only 16 years of age but damn does he remember this great film!
Dude that crazy!! I was actually introduced to this movie by my pops too. He didn't understand a word but loved it and I'm glad he shared it with me.
tuff turf hell yea best 80's flick ever
This is a great song.
I don't know how to dance. I would have fit in perfectly.
I gotta see this movie! Sick track just popped up on my Spotify Discover Weekly (such good recommendations, nails it)
I watched this on tv as a kid around 1989
Jim Carrol looks like Bowie, lol.
Bowie copied him.
He also looked like my husband when he was young
Period
Thing same
Or does Bowie look like Jim Carrol?

I only just discovered this movie about 5 years ago but it’s now in my top 10 favorite movies from the 80’s! Thanks for this great clip.
remember it back in the mid 80's still enjoy it now,
I have the soundtrack on vinyl
Love What movie Tuff Turf . And What music to.

Never heard of tuff turf, but it looks like a cool 80s movie. Jim Carrol rocks.

BEST MOVIE EVER.
Hell yeahh
Agreed.
A great soundtrack over all. And the 7 Year Bitch version of this song is amazing.

Robert Downey Jr was everyones best friend back in the 80s.

My favorite Jim Carroll song. The lead solo talks to me.
Mine is "Ppl Who Died"-
Can relate.
Looking for Jim playing live. How did I miss this film? And those clothes... Now I remember why I avoided the mall during those years.
Little Robbie Downey was jazzed when Jim Carroll, the coolest, older kid asked if he wanted to play drums for him. Little Robert's Mom didn't like that one bit.

NEVER Saw this.. a quite a diff. version than the ONE that Ended-up On:

And did you that guy fuck up Ultron's bike?
Bleary-eyed
@@film79 That's not Ultron. That's Raymond Reddington.😁
Robert Downey Jr. isn't it?
it’s the jim carroll band! (tho downey was never a member simply for the film)
For those who don’t know the lead singer is Jim Carroll author of “The Basketball Diaries” Leo Dicaprio played him in the movie of the same name…… and the drummer?… Couldn’t tell you. He looks familiar though.
This is one of the best films I've seen before in my life! Period!
P.s. Thanks.
This movie was the best of its time!
Lefty strat with a locking trem. Rad!

Robert Downey Jr on Drums. *_______* Such a beautiful sight.
There's no one left, I even want to imitate.
I wrote a poem one time about sticking a paper clip in a Porsche and driving south from SF along Highway 1 in the fog. Race you for a pink slip, Spader.
Looked like a cross between say..David Bowie,Tom Petty,and Gary Numan
OMG Frankie Frankie....such an inspiration to me. If she smoked 1120's I would have had a cardiac...so fucking hot. Then 30 years later someone tells me about this house wives shit and Kim Richards and I am like WHAT???? OMG, she will always be Frankie to me and this is the only thing I knew of her.

The guy at 2:29 is clearly trying to argue that he is not 42 years old. ;)
rebelyell1983x BaaaHaaa!!

This genre of music is fuckin sick
i read basketball diaries, i like the other jim caroll song about people who died...but never heard of this movie...maybe a good thing.
