saw this film on a shady, grainy VHS back in 88ish still didn't stop me watchin it time after time. Featured Brinsley Forde as well as the guy off the jif adverts with a great scene showing the lengths they went to to keep the sound running after vandalism (burgling the local school for tweeters) Has few films worthy of comparisons but "rockers" "burning an illusion" and "the harder they come" spring to mind. Urban ,political, realistic with a heavyweight soundtrack which even got sampled by early 90s rave tune. Still searchin for this film as well as "burnin an illusion" any help would be appreciated, might even throw in free copy of "rockers " DVD Classic film cant believe this could be so hard to find.

this film is wicked. the music is bad, in the michael jackson sense of the word, the plot is hilarious and the whole thing is filmed around brixton which is lovely if you live there. and its got the bloke from brush strokes in it.

Even now after 26 years of the film being released, I can still remember many of the scenes. Me and my brother love to run of the one liners like "Sprat and be d' banker" and "....an I doh wa fi subsidise you..". This film is an absolute classic and I would give my right hand to find this movie on DVD. This is my most memorable film from the 80's and every time I see the white dude doing the Flash adverts, I remember when Beffy did buck him down after he was chatting about the "pure wickedness man...". There wasn't too many films that depicted the racial tensions that existed between blacks and whites living in London during the 80's. I was only ten years old when this was released, but this film is etched firmly in my memory. Big respect to the actors and producers of this film.

Good movie funny in parts and gritty in other parts set in the early 1980s and you can tell by the styles of clothes from the time and vehicles and parts of London looked runned down in parts but what do you expect the Tories where in charge at the time and probably only looked after parts they saw fit to sad really.

Words cannot describe the film. It was accurate in many ways, it was political, the soundtrack was awesome and one of the best films I have ever seen. Saw the file for the first time many years ago when it was screened on Channel Four. Videoed it and saw it many a time after that but unfortunately lost the video. The film was the talking point at college and everybody had the soundtrack, nicknamed themselves after the characters and repeated some of the wicked lines. NEED TO SEE IT AGAIN (and not just to relive my youth). Anybody out there know how to get of a DVD copy or even a video copy? Have got friends searching for me as well but to date no joy.

This is a wonderful film, featuring a almost all black cast apart from a couple of white characters, one being (Mel Smith in a cameo role) as a boss and the other(karl Howman) a friend of the young black men. It deals with the race relations in a brutal way, and is quite hard to watch at times but this is what proper film making is all about imo. It has its fair share of funny moments as well, like the main character having to take his truant little bro to school but he keeps running off trying to avoid going. A film about race,family,friends and love in a well acted and competently directed film without being flashy which it does not need to be. The scenes with the token white friend and and his black pals are the strongest scenes in the movie. Also a final point which it is great to see what certain parts of London looked back then, grim and uninviting.

Saw USA release in the theatre in Austin and it beat my hopes. Great soundtrack and a story that is still pertinent to today. Sad it took so long. Need this in more mediums.
