      Walken’s best scene for me was when he shows up in the older cop’s house near the end. ‘I’m not your problem i’m just a businessman’.
      Such an incredible monologue. So damn true. You will never stop drugs. There will always be someone else.

      @@TheWaynos73 It's a very layered scene, though. The older detective and Frank are sides of the same coin. They've got this boiling rage to them. Frank's a bit full of himself when he does that monologue, in that he calls himself a businessman, even though he's brutally killing and destroying lives. The older detective has been playing it by the book, isn't foolish enough to think he'll end illegal drugs, but when Frank humiliates him in his own home and rubs it in, the detective snaps. His shooting through the handcuff chain speaks more bluntly about his intentions than anything Frank said. Frank crossed the final line.

    I remember when it came out (1990) and yes, New Jack City was near the same time (1991). Living in NYC, all my other white friends all preferred NJC for some reason. I was heavily into hip-hop at the time and was a photographer, so of course I preferred the cinematic super stylishness of KoNY. And stylish it was. Its major flaw was its shallow script and dialogue apart from Fishburne, who really blazed across the screen with an amazing character that is criminally unknown today.
    The film's spiritual companion isn't Goodfellas or New Jack City, but "Deep Cover" starring Fishburne which arrived not long later (1992). Those two films were the best performances of his career.

    Don't forget Schooly D theme song. He came out before NWA in 1986. He was the darkest and scariest rap period. More scary and any gangster rap that came out. Ever.

      Absolutely 💯 %. The cast in this movie was ridiculous and Schooly D music set the movie off. Schooly D was hard as fuck.

    0:29 Lol@ movie newspaper articles made in a time when they didn't think anyone would ever be pausing the movie to actually read the articles. Each paragraph is one long run-on sentence and it reads more like the script than any newspaper article.

    Another thing people don't seem to realize is that Balxploitation fillms were made to keep audiences segregated. Eg: Give one group Superman, James Bond, and give the others Shaft, Coffee and Foxy Brown. But guess what, it backfired and people crossed boundaries and enjoyed it. So Q.T. knows art when he sees it. He tips his hat to black culture and makes it known. Leave him alone.. Let him do what he does best.. You all did it when Spielberg made The Color Purple. Hmmmm 🤔 no outcry there..

    The difference between Ferrara and Scorsese is that the latter was brought up around actual gangsters, in the old, socially conservative environment that produced criminal gangs in a family setting. Ferarra, on the other hand, doesn't seem to base his characters in this great film on real life experiences. King of New York is a great film, and forms a nightmarish, almost mythic landscape that originally blends hip hop imagery with organised crime. Scorsese wouldn't make this film because it is a world made up from the director's imagination rather than one like GoodFellas, which despite its heavily stylised dircection, is more realistic.

    Frank is out and his enemies start going down one by one. They do a terrific job showcasing his rise back to power in the relatively short span of the movie compared to other movies you just don’t see that. I’m kinda glad it wasn’t longer.

    3:55 gotta disagree with Quentin. King of New York is the Diet Coke of New Jack City. New Jack City is definitely loved more by black ppl than King of New York. We love King of New York too, but New Jack had more of a culture impact

    An excellent flick and most of the Actors involved went on to amazing careers. Frank White became a cultural icon. Notorious B.I.G. Embraced it and used that character as a model in his music.

    Where Laurence differs from Denzel Washington or Forrest Whittaker is that he sheds everything from role to role. None of his characters have similar quirks or verbal inflections to one another. He’s truly a chameleon being a different person each time.

    Spoken from a 43 y/o Black........For anyone to think Quentin Tarantino is "racist", your absolutely wrong. He like, lots of White Americans just love Black people and black culture to the point, they dont like being white. And us Black folks love all back!
    List to his excitement talking about the movie.

    Don't even show anyone this hidden gem , they don't deserve to see it tbh !!!! Otherwise they will bore it out like Goodfellas!!!! Keep this film to yourself & thank me later 💯
    Tell everyone u know to just keep watching New Jack City like the lames everyone is these days !!!! This movie is only for special ppl , nobody else deserves to watch it❤
    I first saw this in 2009 & it blew my mind , even the shoot out followed by the insane car chase of Larry & Wesley exchanging shots at each other in the rain & then Larry Fishburnes death scene was all one long amazing sequence & the greatest thing ive ever seen in a movie ❤ it was so good that most ppl don't even deserve to even see it!!!!
    This is one film that should only be shown to yourself & one other person close to u❤❤❤
    My favorite thugsta film hands down & I'm glad it's unknown to most ppl because otherwise everyone would just wear it out & make it get old & boring!!!! This is the only film i don't want to get bored of so i don't show it to barely anyone & i only watch it once in a blue moon cuz it's that perfect!!!!! Everyone in this film was amazing , the cast , the shootout scenes , the chase scene sequence leading up to the best death scene of all time was so original & so iconic!!!! I never got so high off of watching a single crime film!!!! Ever!!!!!!
