@@topherwyatt8398 i disagree on that, buddy. Frank came to ask Nicky to change the name. When he got a frustrated reaction from Nicky, he realised his point came across. It would be done. My man... Haha
In real life Frank Lucas knew that Niki Barnes was untouchable. Frank was a supplier who cut out the middle man. Barnes was the biggest drug dealer in the area. Who ran his organization like the mafia. Plus he had mafia ties with several families.
Works surprisingly well in real life aswell... if someone is trying to intimidate you, and you have the balls to give a freezing stare and throw back 10x more intimidating line, usually you can see in someone's eyes (or any reaction) if it seriously hit them... And after it hits them, you know you have it in control.
@@Mercurial. in reality ... Nicky Barnes character was more calm and collected than Frank Lucas ... this was a good movie but mostly a act of fiction even Bumpy Johnson’s wife said this movie was a lie
@@MrBoothyboy1988 LMFAO HAHAHAH this nigga said what you want from me HAHAHAH HILARIOUS HAHAHAHAH IM CRYING..only thing better would be if he put "sucka" at the end LOL
@@remee4685 So? He plays it extremely well. So well, in fact, that he makes the scenes. Can you honestly tell me of many actors that play themselves at the same caliber as Denzel? Not many can honestly pull it off and look cool doing it.
Denzel has a way of owning every scene he is in. Few actors can do this well. A look, a few words or a smile. When great actors are mentioned Denzel should be top of the list.
With respect to Mr. Washington, there is NO denying that he is a GOOD actor but, the reason he is compared to Sidney Poitier is the fact that both men carry themselves in a way that says: Respect. Neither one of them demands nor asks for our respect, they just exude it. Neither is a braggart that demands attention or an absent minded fool, bumbling along.
Goat? Are you insane? Denzel is the goat of African American actors the greatest is among DiCaprio or Pitt chill he ain't the goat dont disrespect and I didn't cheat by saying Robert deniro the godfather purposely to make my point

"Shelby's gone, Frank." "Shelby gone?" As great as that was, the closing exchange between Trupo and Frank was even better. Having that unfold with Richie tailing behind was NOT GOOD.
Cuba is and was a great actor regardless of some of the roles he might have taken. He’s got great talent whether in a comedy or a straight gangsta movie like this.
@@user-sp8eb6iz7f True, he was weak in this scene. Felt no testosterone when he first yelled at that guy to shut up. Then his look after tasting the coke made him appear as a paranoid low energy dude. Ending with his last words of the scene where he sounded like a kid that is mad because he is not respected, even tho he didn’t deserved that. A true gangster would have been understanding the situation real quick and would have come with something better than “I buy it, i own it” as he should have known that even in commerce you would be unable to buy 100 bottles of pepsi, mix it with fanta and then selling them as Pepsi. It’s just good logic that helps avoiding chaos, which every true gangster needs and should want to follow. That makes the difference between a Don and a mindless criminal.
I would say as a cop... that your house can blow up too damb ass and you don't necessarily have to be there, just so you could watch, see, feel and understand... that stick has two ends. Criminals are mostly DUMB. And actually do it to them and their families. Only what goes around, comes around works in this world.
NO there are no babes in it or funny jokes. It's TOO serious. I stick to Marvel Cinematic Universe 7 days a week 24 hours a day!!!!!!! Now that's the truth.
When his brother tells him the stuff is in the trunk, the face Denzel makes to put on an instant front to the cops approaching his window is worth his paycheck alone.
Trupo: "Or would you rather we throw you and your brother in the f******* river?" Frank: "Or would you rather your house blows up next time?" Trupo: "I loved that car." Frank: "I know." Just savage.
@Simulation algorithm Yeah but he stole threee kilos atleast,worth....a hundred grand? As compensation. Blowing up the car was a powermove,now Trupo showed he can take him to the cleaners on a whim. A very uneasy alliance.
@@subjektivegaming Lol no offense intended but you don’t know what you’re talking about. The Kennedy’s and many other families that made big money from prohibition are still instrumental families in America. HSBC is the money laundering arm for the biggest cartels in the world. The same cartels the CIA and other government agencies funded armed and used. Plenty of organizations/families related to criminality and drugs/illegal substances are fine. Oliver North got his pardon, so did Abrams. Heck there’s multiple founding fathers who would have been on trial for war profiteering if we didn’t need them for independence. And don’t get me started on the Bush’s nazi ties and illegal arm sells.
My man… I love that little exchange: “you know I loved that car.” “I know”. This movie, albeit being factually inaccurate in some places, is definitely overlooked and underrated.
Josh and Cuba are excellent, and Denzel is a powerhouse as usual, but crucially there’s no sense of actors ego getting in the way. They bring out the best of each other, all scenes are captivating and just roll on so naturally. Excellent professional actors at work.
An extremely legend of a film, that should be known even more, and receive more credits for its dynamics. Such an amazing storyline, characters, soundtrack and led by two legendary actors, Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe who brought so much emotion, and action to it. What makes the film even greater is the many lessons and lines that are brought up, and what's even greater is how it's based on a true story. Honestly, worth watching no matter what. Had watched this on my birthday years back, and really an unforgettable film, that till this day I have never forgotten about. Don't want to spoil much, but its a must-see. 4.19.2020
By the way if yall havent, make sure yall watch the extended cut. Has waaaay more explanation for the ending of the movie and it makes alot more sense. Its like 10 more minutes of movie time but its a much better ending.
When Frank went all the way to Vietnam to buy his coke for the first time is by far the best scene in the movie! and of course the line, "my man!" when he done reasoning with you!
@@noahmijo I learned that the hard way back around the 1980's. I'm eating lunch while watching the news at noon on TV and right on the screen with no warning, they're showing taped video from the airport of a guy getting up from the lobby seating, stalking only steps behind cops escorting a prisoner between them and he shoots the prisoner in the back of the head. Real story some may remember. The shooter was the father of a boy sexually abused by the prisoner and he didn't think the sentence handed out was enough so he took care of him himself (ruining his life then too). But God forbid Americans hear a cuss word or glimpse a bit of boobie once in a while. "Puritans" is right.
@@charlieross-BRM as soon as i read the first little paragraph i knew exactly what you were talking about . that’s actually crazy if you watched that live . they have that video on youtube . the father was a g . he had a interview when he was older and the interviewer asked if he would shoot the man again and without hesitation he nodded n said yes .
I don’t know how to describe it but Denzel Washington’s movement when he gets pulled over by the cops and he’s asked to look in the trunk. There’s somethings so effortlessly graceful about it. Like he’s exuding confidence but at the same time nervous
Everyone always brags on Denzel’s performance and rightly so, but Josh Brolins work has always been top notch as well. I’m sure he learned a few things from Denzel on this movie. Just watch Sicario and you can see that DW style of commanding a scene.
If he did, the best thing he could do is cut Nicky off, no more Blue Magic for you Nicky. Frank sells to him wholesale and Nicky sells it retail. But if Frank says "welp, it appears you aren't going to stop chopping my dope, so you get none from here on out." Hurt Nicky in the supply chain, that is what I would have done.
@@paulcolburn3855 wasnt nicky the bigger guy in the streets and the bigger dealer in real life though, most of what came out of frank lucas' mouth was bullshit
@@donc7984 Nicky was sales. Frank was supply chain. Its not that one was bigger or smaller than the other. Frank supplied the blue magic because Frank had the connections in Southeast Asia to get #4 heroin supplied to him uncut, 100% pure. So when Frank chopped it up, it was still the best on the street AND the cheapest on the street. A two-fer. That is why everyone (including Nicky) wanted to deal it. Nicky just further chopped it to sell more of it. So what Frank should have done is cut him off, no more blue magic. That is what I would have done.
@@paulcolburn3855 I get what you're saying he should've cut him off but Nicky was a big reason for Frank's success he needed Nicky I mean Frank still would've succeeded either way but.... you know what I'm saying
Old age has nothing to do with knowing and seeing that the quality of actors has gone down as the years go by. Name a actor or actress that can compare to greats like Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, Mel Gibson as controversy as he is you can’t take away the fact he is a good actor. Morgan Freeman, etc. It seems Hollywood and even the music industry are more focused on how a person looks face and body wise but I would say 95% of your best actors and actresses were regular average looking people but had beautiful seasoned acting skills.
What an extraordinary performance by Denzel in this legendary film … In this scene sigma says a very important rule which is « if you about to fall down use your last bullet »
muskegontribune why not? he’s the supplier... without him there would be no supplies. Frank had the Italian Mob and Cops paid off. But they both were businessmen.
My interpretation of Cuba throwing the glass and yelling is that he was just putting on a show so he doesn't look weak in front of his guests at the club. I also think Frank recognized that and didn't take it personally. That's my he just said "My man" and left. Frank knew he got the message and would comply.
I think Cuba was genuinely mad. He had shown a lot of restraint in simply agreeing to Frank’s request to change the name, but when Frank said “catch you” that implied he (Frank) was the boss and Cuba was doing something sneaky. I get why he got pissed enough to throw the glass. Frank was also testing him a bit with that authoritative language and so when Cuba barked back he (Frank) smiled because he knew their was still a “line” he should respect. In any case, great movie.
Denzel is without doubt the best actor of the last 30 years, better than many other so called greats. When I mean to catch a little clip of him in some movie I always end up watching the whole damn movie, regardless of time of day 😂
consistently great, he's really found his stride with certain roles, but he's fallen in to the trap of being fairly narrow. For that reason alone, we couldn't say he was the best, consider, Will Smith, Jamie Fox, Leonardo Di Caprio, Brad Pit, Jonah Hill, Samuel L Jackson, John Travolta, Daniel Craig.... and I'm just getting started. All of them talente,d all of them with better range, but I'd agree in this niche, Denz is by far the best.
“Close it up, throw it back in the trunk, everybody go home, have some pumpkin pie, warm apple cider….” The sincerity in that response took me out 😂😂🤣🤣
After watching this so many times I just realized that the conversation in the club both start and end with “my man” but it is totally different feeling and meaning
The way he says “my man” is still the coolest thing I’ve ever heard
Both of them say "my man".
It meant that "I'ma fuck you up"
Naw. It mean you dead 😆
How sad
@@topherwyatt8398 i disagree on that, buddy. Frank came to ask Nicky to change the name. When he got a frustrated reaction from Nicky, he realised his point came across. It would be done. My man... Haha
For those that don’t know, it’s not alright. He smashed his head into the window when they got back in the car. He was big mad.
He deserved it 100%
My thoughts exactly. Not alright in the slightest
Was pretty fucking far from alright actually
Car need a good clean after wards cos the drivers brains where on the side window
I have not seen this film...but I could tell, it really was not alright
“Sorry Frank”
“It’s alright, get in the car”
But it wasn’t alright…
Sure as hell wasn't
he dun fukkd up
Frank den smash dat fuk his head into that glass !!! Dam that’s a pissed off Boss move !!!!
6 seconds later…
If such a line were said by Washington and narrated by Freeman, I'm pretty sure I'd laugh then.
He respected the fact that he stood his ground in his own club and called out the disrespect while understanding the problem
In real life Frank Lucas knew that Niki Barnes was untouchable. Frank was a supplier who cut out the middle man. Barnes was the biggest drug dealer in the area. Who ran his organization like the mafia. Plus he had mafia ties with several families.
Yep. He recognized that it was only a natural reaction from Nikki and recognized that there was no need to press any further. Always liked this part.
Nicky Barnes was far more the bigger, more notorious drug dealer than Frank was. I doubt this scene ever happened
@scottytoohottysmith6991 Some people don't know that. Frank Lucas was low key. Nicky Barnes is who people knew.

He owns every scene. De Niro & Washington 2 of my favourites.
Everyone always brags on Denzel’s performance and rightly so, but Josh Brolins work has always been top notch as well. I’m sure he learned a few things from Denzel on this movie. Just watch Sicario and you can see that DW style of commanding a scene.
“It’s all right get in the car” 5 seconds later he’s punching Huey so hard in the face he breaks the window
Frank sure knows how to run a business.
If he did, the best thing he could do is cut Nicky off, no more Blue Magic for you Nicky. Frank sells to him wholesale and Nicky sells it retail. But if Frank says "welp, it appears you aren't going to stop chopping my dope, so you get none from here on out." Hurt Nicky in the supply chain, that is what I would have done.
@@paulcolburn3855 wasnt nicky the bigger guy in the streets and the bigger dealer in real life though, most of what came out of frank lucas' mouth was bullshit
@@donc7984 Nicky was sales. Frank was supply chain. Its not that one was bigger or smaller than the other. Frank supplied the blue magic because Frank had the connections in Southeast Asia to get #4 heroin supplied to him uncut, 100% pure. So when Frank chopped it up, it was still the best on the street AND the cheapest on the street. A two-fer. That is why everyone (including Nicky) wanted to deal it.
Nicky just further chopped it to sell more of it. So what Frank should have done is cut him off, no more blue magic. That is what I would have done.
@@paulcolburn3855 I get what you're saying he should've cut him off but Nicky was a big reason for Frank's success he needed Nicky I mean Frank still would've succeeded either way but.... you know what I'm saying
@@jesuscage yeah. I understand
So many great actors in this movie. After 2010, movie quality started to drop quickly
oh shut up old man. people have been saying that forever. quality movies are still there, you're just living in the past and not looking for them.
Old age has nothing to do with knowing and seeing that the quality of actors has gone down as the years go by. Name a actor or actress that can compare to greats like Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, Mel Gibson as controversy as he is you can’t take away the fact he is a good actor. Morgan Freeman, etc. It seems Hollywood and even the music industry are more focused on how a person looks face and body wise but I would say 95% of your best actors and actresses were regular average looking people but had beautiful seasoned acting skills.
I'm 26 years old... when you assume, you make an ASS out of U and ME
Frank didn't like the station Radio was tuned into
What an extraordinary performance by Denzel in this legendary film … In this scene sigma says a very important rule which is « if you about to fall down use your last bullet »
I'm really glad they beeped out the curse words for when my kids watch American Gangster.
🤣🤣
Why. Your kids will know curse words .. teach them that they can curse all they want with friends but not around adults, in school, church etc..
@@rickyonovitz3214 That was sarcasm.
#7 this rule is so underated, keep your family and business completely separated.
-Notorious B.I.G
This movie completely flipped the real way these two guys were like in real life
@szs voc yea heroin King pin. Great hero
Facts we all know frank was a rat 😭😭😭
EXACTLY, Frank Lucas was a loud country bama, no way back then he tells Nicky Barnes what to do
It's a movie. Bottom line is cops were crooked as well as the drug game. And nothing has changed
muskegontribune why not? he’s the supplier... without him there would be no supplies. Frank had the Italian Mob and Cops paid off. But they both were businessmen.
I now have pie and warm apple cider on a regular basis because of this scene.
My interpretation of Cuba throwing the glass and yelling is that he was just putting on a show so he doesn't look weak in front of his guests at the club. I also think Frank recognized that and didn't take it personally. That's my he just said "My man" and left. Frank knew he got the message and would comply.
I think Cuba was genuinely mad. He had shown a lot of restraint in simply agreeing to Frank’s request to change the name, but when Frank said “catch you” that implied he (Frank) was the boss and Cuba was doing something sneaky. I get why he got pissed enough to throw the glass. Frank was also testing him a bit with that authoritative language and so when Cuba barked back he (Frank) smiled because he knew their was still a “line” he should respect. In any case, great movie.
@@bravo1224 bingo
“Yes sir, right here.” Sounds pretty sharp. 🤣
Fun fact, Cuba brought his own coke and it just fit the scene so well they kept it in the film
Oh wow. Where did youfind that out yet?
C'mon man you gotta be lyin lol
@@GORILLA_PIMP be honest tho, it's believable with him🤣
@@fabianstonepsn6866
Haha hell yeah it definitely is
But what im sayin is i don't think they'd LET him
But i know if they did he probably would 🤣
Bravo Vince
The moment someone tells me "It's alright" I know nothing is alright
This is why Denzel is the Best Actor in Movie History. 🎥
Gooding Jr. was GREAT as Barnes
No one else could play this role better than Denzel. Just the reply "my man" is legendary.
“It’s all right”… beats him senseless when they get back in the car. 😂
😂
Re: the video description. Russell Crowe’s character was a NEW JERSEY cop. Not a New York cop.
0:32 Dad when your playing loudly with company over.
Denzel is without doubt the best actor of the last 30 years, better than many other so called greats. When I mean to catch a little clip of him in some movie I always end up watching the whole damn movie, regardless of time of day 😂
glad you like him, and he's an excellent actor, but certainly not the best.
You're outta your mind.
Facts. He is the goat
consistently great, he's really found his stride with certain roles, but he's fallen in to the trap of being fairly narrow. For that reason alone, we couldn't say he was the best, consider, Will Smith, Jamie Fox, Leonardo Di Caprio, Brad Pit, Jonah Hill, Samuel L Jackson, John Travolta, Daniel Craig.... and I'm just getting started. All of them talente,d all of them with better range, but I'd agree in this niche, Denz is by far the best.
@@faust13301 yes, you’re right, I’m outta my mind not to realise sooner how great an actor he is.
“Close it up, throw it back in the trunk, everybody go home, have some pumpkin pie, warm apple cider….”
The sincerity in that response took me out
😂😂🤣🤣
😂😂😂 classic
After watching this so many times I just realized that the conversation in the club both start and end with “my man” but it is totally different feeling and meaning
"I D G A F !! CALL IT BLUE DOG SHIT" 😂😂😂
Bruh don't mess with a guy who asks Thanos if he'd like his house blown up.
Everyone is this movie played their role perfectly. Its an incredible film I always come back to it.
The beeping was distracting as hell. Could have just made it silent. Great movie tho
Denzel constantly prodding him. “Where the Shelby at?” Even though he knows he’s in a bad spot here lol
