I think with Stony once her brother died she gave up. She put all her hopes in her brother. Once he died she had nothing else so she didn't care. After meeting Keith and seeing the other side of life she saw something new in her life.
I mean to be fair it was back then , those cops were white people with money , stony was a black woman with no money , the police department could’ve easily won that case so I mean 🤷🏽♀️
Imagine being 8 years old being a huge Queen Latifyah fan because you grew up watching In Living Single and wanting to be like her when you grow up. To then thinking you was an adult cause yo mama let you stay up late to see the movie and then you see CLEO'S DEATH SCENE! Ugh, in my big age that movie makes me crying my eyes out!! This never needs a remake because this is top tier black classic movie.
In my mind, there is already a part 2. Have you ever seen Tales from the Crypt Demon Knight? At the end of Set it Off, Stony went to Mexico... In Demon Knight, the setting is in "New Mexico". Jada's character had short hair at the end if set it off. Her character had a similar hair cut in Demon Knight. She admitted to getting into trouble in the past for "robbery" and the black cat in the house was named Cleo. Lol
Right! everytime it gets to that part i just skip through it cause damn y’all didn’t have to light her up like that they did not need that many bullets to take her down that was over the top these cops in this movie was too trigger happy and it’s scary cause that’s how some of them are in real life
I can’t watch that scene at all. As soon as she lets Stoney and Frankie out in the tunnel I have to skip forward. The music plus the scene especially when she knows it’s a wrap then she lights the cigarette…it’s just a lot to absorb. I literally remember being on the theater ( the things 90’s babies were able to do and see lol) with my mom and I was crying so hard. I was devastated all the way home until we got in the house and my cousin was in the family room watching Living Single and I saw Queen Latifah on the tv and I instantly felt like ok she is still alive lo. I will never forget that.
This movie showed Queen's great acting ability and range. To watch Living Single (which was on at this time) and then see her in this, two totally different characters. Shoot, even now I can't see glammed up Queen Latifah who just was on the Drew Barrymore Show be Cleo! LOL!
Brandy said they offered the role of Tisean (T.T.) to her but she was under contract with Disney and they told her it wouldn’t look good for her image.
Besides Brandy was a teenage singer. But she did contribute to the Set It Off movie soundtrack on the song "Missing You" featuring Tamia, Gladys Knight & Chaka Kahn
Detective Waller was very annoying and wanted to be one of the good ones. I didn't want Stoney to tear up the check either, especially after what she went through to get it. Maybe she decided to rob a bank, because she didn't have any hope after her brother died or didn't care anymore after losing so much. T.T.'s death was so sad and her son losing his mother. Cleo's makes me cry, because of Up Against the Wind playing during the scene and the way she kind of tries fighting dying and then lets go.
I just love the song Up Against the Wind. It is on one of my playlists. Took me a minute to even find it. It’s hard to hear it and not think of Cleo’s death.
Dang didn't know it came out when I was born 😩 but this movie is my movie tho but I def got to see this movie again cuz it's been a long time since I seen it
not to mention when they put the money in the air conditioner vent they didn't even put it all the way inside there. they just put it so people can notice that it was in there. I don't think that Luther had a camera on them because if that was the case I'm sure the director would have made it a point to include the revelation in the scene right after they realized and start running off instead of them being greeted by a new boss they would have actually walked in on security monitor with the Vent door open. if he had prior knowledge of this. or it was a setup by the gunman AKA Dr Dre . because they knew and probably put him up to it. which is why he even news about the money. he was probably in debt to them they told him how he could repay them. and that's why he was broke.
the reason why the other girls weren't able to just up and leave the first or the second time and let Titi handle getting her son back on her own is because we don't know what happened to TT she might have needed the protection because if you notice she is a little off lol. T T would have definitely needed the support. oh and don't get me started on the fact that TT squeeze the trigger! my girl you could have hit him upside the head with a gun instead of shooting him. she squeezed the trigger
also we know that it was plot-driven for the movie to play out the way it did to make the statement it was making. the reality is Frankie would have been able to file a lawsuit against the bank and possibly the police as well. I'm not all the way Savvy with the law however Given that Frankie was the one with experience with the corporate world she'd be knowledgeable enough to make her next decision being getting a lawyer because she knows What just happened isn't right nor is this whole situation her fault. the bank has to uphold their end of protecting their employees and should have been stand with the proper safety and security . she definitely had a lawsuit that would have probably gotten paid a lot more and see what that possibly been able to save her job and then there'll be no movie lol
Them police were dumb. If this woman telling you she know of him but wasn’t involved they really coulda used her to find out more info if they was smart. Where he hang? Who his mama ? Who his friends? They really fumbled an opportunity
I used to wonder why Stony tore up that check, but I guess since it was supposed to be an advance, so she would've had to eventually work for him supposedly ( I still would've cashed it tho)
Stoney sacrificed her body in order to get the money that would help her brother get into college, but Stoney's brother lied to her about not getting accepted into UCLA
You think Blair Underwood use to play a good guy lol you should see the movie he did years ago called Just Cause he played a child killer in that one & I been side eyeing him ever sense I saw that movie 😭
I hate that Frankie ran and I hate that song to this day🥺 Ashley, do ‘Uninvited Guest’ next it’s crazy!! Stars Mekhi Phifer, Mel Jackson, Malinda Williams and Mari Morrow. Also, “Suspect” starring Mekhi Phifer and Sterling K. Brown Black 90’s movies were A1 🙌🏽
also what I'm realizing while watching your video..is that they didn't really set out to do multiple bank robberies or collect more money I believe in the beginning it was all about revenge and just trying to get ahead a little bit. and then everything started trickling down from there. like the adrenaline from being able to get away with it and then go broke again. we got to understand that neither one of them at any time in your life probably had that amount of money all at once in their hands. once they had a taste of it became addictive. from the beginning I believe it was all driven by Revenge 😊 that became something else. it didn't help that neither one of them made an exit Strategy and I believe it's because like Stoney who's never been outside of her Hood, none of the other girls actually left the hood either. initially they weren't planning to leave until all the s*** started hitting the fan that they had to run from. I think they always plan on staying which is how I figure they fell into the despair in the end.
Once you actually get to know Jesus and accept Him into your heart and your life then you will have a better understanding of Kimberly Elise, otherwise it will continue to seem foreign to you…but I enjoy your reviews. They are very entertaining.❤
Thank you so much for doing these movie throw backs nice to go down memory lane and see if others feel the same as me Love and basketball next please Keep up the good work
Girl if you're commentary was food, I got full! 😂 As always great storytelling.🤌🏾 Set it off to me was that movie that didn't have any slow paces and was downright great. I'm thinking you crying, but you would switch up🤣. Ella Joyce was likable on Roc, but not in this movie.
![Megan Thee Stallion - Mamushi (Remix) [feat. TWICE] [Official Audio]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/5c0_u9PsrsQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Vivica used to be that girl, she’s been in 4 or 5 of your movie corners so far lol
Facts!!!!
Stony running up and seeing her brother dead and Cleo being killed are tearjerkers, amazing acting
Yep all of those plus when they killed Tee-Tee!
Yea Stoney did not have to rip that check 😂 I was girl you indured that old man for none?
As soon as I click on this video, En Vogue's "Don't Let Go" comes on the radio at my job seconds later. I don't know what to make of this. 😮
My favorite movie and it’s get me emotional every time
I think with Stony once her brother died she gave up. She put all her hopes in her brother. Once he died she had nothing else so she didn't care. After meeting Keith and seeing the other side of life she saw something new in her life.
43:02 I remember my mother and aunts were all saying Queen played the scene with Ursula so real! LMAO!
Ella Joyce played the female detective. One role I can think of that I loved is when she played Roc's wife in the Roc sitcom lol
Looking at it now that I’m older I’m like WTF didn’t Stony just sue the police department! She had a whole ass wrongful death lawsuit!
I said the same thing 😮
Maybe she didn't think it was worth it - that they wouldn't win. Remember this was LA..in the 90's, the cops was killing everybody.
Looking at their circumstances, I'm sure that wasn't a route she felt that she could go. It makes sense to me though..
I mean to be fair it was back then , those cops were white people with money , stony was a black woman with no money , the police department could’ve easily won that case so I mean 🤷🏽♀️
I STILL CRY watching this movie! lol
This movie is a classic
A part 2 could be a book not a movie
Imagine being 8 years old being a huge Queen Latifyah fan because you grew up watching In Living Single and wanting to be like her when you grow up. To then thinking you was an adult cause yo mama let you stay up late to see the movie and then you see CLEO'S DEATH SCENE! Ugh, in my big age that movie makes me crying my eyes out!! This never needs a remake because this is top tier black classic movie.
Me and my girls while in Miami on a rooftop, reinacted the Set It Off roof scene. It was epic!🎉😂
😂😂i was like nooooo Stoney when she tore that check up im with u Ashley
I fell in love with Queen Latifah the moment I seen her in Set It Off 🥰
Plus she was in her Living Single TV Show prime.
Ashley you really love us! I love these consistent movie corners! ❤
In my mind, there is already a part 2. Have you ever seen Tales from the Crypt Demon Knight? At the end of Set it Off, Stony went to Mexico... In Demon Knight, the setting is in "New Mexico". Jada's character had short hair at the end if set it off. Her character had a similar hair cut in Demon Knight. She admitted to getting into trouble in the past for "robbery" and the black cat in the house was named Cleo. Lol
I can't believe I just watched demon knight again recently and didn't make that connection with the cat!! Omg, new perspective now!
It would make sense the reason she was the only one who survived 😮
@JaDedby88 Yessss. I was like, "Now wait a dog on minute."
Set It Off never gets old!!! Fun fact: they used a body double for the love scene and it wasn’t Jada’s hump.
Ashley I absolutely love your reviews. Don't stop ! Lol ❤
Top five movie of all time!!!! Classic!
They did Cleo so wrong. I always cut it off when it gets to her part.
Right! everytime it gets to that part i just skip through it cause damn y’all didn’t have to light her up like that they did not need that many bullets to take her down that was over the top these cops in this movie was too trigger happy and it’s scary cause that’s how some of them are in real life

I will never forget that.
I don’t watch any of their deaths.
@@doriannsmith6665well Cleo wanted to die because she didn't have any intentions on going back to jail
@@DeANGELIS4735True but still them cops did too much
😂😂😂😂 I love your movie reviews boo! We the same generation so you be so on point with everything!! Thanks 🙏🏽 beautiful!!❤
This movie showed Queen's great acting ability and range. To watch Living Single (which was on at this time) and then see her in this, two totally different characters. Shoot, even now I can't see glammed up Queen Latifah who just was on the Drew Barrymore Show be Cleo! LOL!
Cleo was my fav. That scene gets me everytime 😢
This is definitely a horror movie! I never put those words together for it but YES!
Gurl this is My FAVORITE MOVIE I Can't wait for Ashley's Review. Yes I've been watching it on Tubi too 😂😂😂
Update on Stoney: we suin

Love your movie choices Ashley! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You gon play us from some buppy at the bank 😂😂😂 ok I'm done lol
Grear review as always Ashley! I loveeeee movie corner! 💕
*Side note: i would have kept that damn check ✔️
Detective Waller was very annoying and wanted to be one of the good ones. I didn't want Stoney to tear up the check either, especially after what she went through to get it.

Cleo's makes me cry, because of Up Against the Wind playing during the scene and the way she kind of tries fighting dying and then lets go.
I greatly appreciate your movie reviews. Paid In Full should definitely be on your list!!!
Hi Ashley and thanks for the movie flashback reviews. Can you do a movie review on New Jack City? The soundtrack is still superb.
😂😂😂 why did my cousin did the exact same thing! My cousin was crying and said the exact same thing “CLEO DIED” 😂😂😂
Set is off is definitely one of my favs. What about Jason's Lyric? Menace 2 Society, Juice, Higher Learning, the 90s was everything.
I looooooooooooove Ashley’s Movie corner reviews ❤
"The way you busted through that wall!" 😂😂😂
You should do Menace II Society
Another great video Ashley ❤
Thank you Ashley this video got me through a few hrs at work 😊😊
I just love the song Up Against the Wind. It is on one of my playlists. Took me a minute to even find it. It’s hard to hear it and not think of Cleo’s death.
Dang didn't know it came out when I was born 😩 but this movie is my movie tho but I def got to see this movie again cuz it's been a long time since I seen it
I turn off Cleos scene every damn time lol......I just cant do it 😢. That scene traumatized me. She was G though
Please do Down in the Delta
not to mention when they put the money in the air conditioner vent they didn't even put it all the way inside there. they just put it so people can notice that it was in there. I don't think that Luther had a camera on them because if that was the case I'm sure the director would have made it a point to include the revelation in the scene right after they realized and start running off instead of them being greeted by a new boss they would have actually walked in on security monitor with the Vent door open. if he had prior knowledge of this. or it was a setup by the gunman AKA Dr Dre . because they knew and probably put him up to it. which is why he even news about the money. he was probably in debt to them they told him how he could repay them. and that's why he was broke.

The soundtrack for this film was dope too! ❤️🔥
Can you review “Jumping the broom” ?
Definitely a good movie
Now that I’m older I wonder why stonie never sued
They shot cleo up till the point where she went cross eyed
I've only seen this movie, probably a few times because I can't do it. This movie has me all up in my feelings. it just has me angry and crying
Can you review Poetic Justice or Boyz in the hood ?
I like your movie reviews!
Aunt viv (vivica fox) was her back in the day
Players Club or Jason’s Lyric next please lol
Come visit New York City Ashley!
Them police were dumb. If this woman telling you she know of him but wasn’t involved they really coulda used her to find out more info if they was smart. Where he hang? Who his mama ? Who his friends? They really fumbled an opportunity
I used to wonder why Stony tore up that check, but I guess since it was supposed to be an advance, so she would've had to eventually work for him supposedly ( I still would've cashed it tho)
Right? She earned that money in another way.
Stoney sacrificed her body in order to get the money that would help her brother get into college, but Stoney's brother lied to her about not getting accepted into UCLA
can you do thin line between love and hate. i will really love it.
Makes me cry everytime 😩.Dreamgirls would be good too maybe Juice , love jones . Happy Thursday ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Darnel would've pissed me off 😂 boy don't shoot me hard cuz I'm not going to jail 😭
I agree that IS one of the best Black movies ever! 👍👍
You mean horror movie 😢
You think Blair Underwood use to play a good guy lol you should see the movie he did years ago called Just Cause he played a child killer in that one & I been side eyeing him ever sense I saw that movie 😭
I hate that Frankie ran and I hate that song to this day🥺
Ashley, do ‘Uninvited Guest’ next it’s crazy!! Stars Mekhi Phifer, Mel Jackson, Malinda Williams and Mari Morrow.
Also, “Suspect” starring Mekhi Phifer and Sterling K. Brown
Black 90’s movies were A1 🙌🏽
You should do Prison Song next with Q Tip. Another black horror movie lol
also what I'm realizing while watching your video..is that they didn't really set out to do multiple bank robberies or collect more money I believe in the beginning it was all about revenge and just trying to get ahead a little bit. and then everything started trickling down from there. like the adrenaline from being able to get away with it and then go broke again. we got to understand that neither one of them at any time in your life probably had that amount of money all at once in their hands. once they had a taste of it became addictive. from the beginning I believe it was all driven by Revenge 😊 that became something else. it didn't help that neither one of them made an exit Strategy and I believe it's because like Stoney who's never been outside of her Hood, none of the other girls actually left the hood either. initially they weren't planning to leave until all the s*** started hitting the fan that they had to run from.
