This movie is just missing something to make it a classic. It has a reference to my hometown; Mt Vernon and one of the 1st movie's my friend is in Improlio us in. It gritty Vietnam disillusions with black revolution* and the Brink's heist. The Hughes brothers put too much in with too little time. Either it should be 3 1/2 hours or skim over Nam.
* "The Revolution will not be televised it will be live from your window. Gil Scott Heron - The revolution will not be televised
There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock news
And no pictures of hairy armed women liberationists
And Jackie Onassis blowing her nose
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb or Francis Scott Keys
Nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash
Engelbert Humperdinck, or The Rare Earth
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be right back after a message
About a white tornado, white lightning, or white people
You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom
The tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl
The revolution will not go better with Coke
The revolution will not fight germs that may cause bad breath
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat
