Street Kings
Street Kings
Just got done watching Street Kings
with Keanu and Forrest Whitaker, Directed by the writer of Training day and Harsh times.
Better than "Harsh Times" but much worse than "Training Day"
Had a lot of similarities with Training Day. Also got tired of all the rediculous in fighting between all the cops.
Gave it a 5 out of 10.
any thoughts?

Re: Street Kings
watched the commentary and tried to pay attention to filming locations.
the scene with Common, Bone, Keanu, Chris Evens, and Cedric the Entertainer was filmed in William Mead projects, which is Dogtown.
The chase scene with Noel G. was filmed down around 48th and Central, all around there.
Question if anybody knows.
They said Grill (Game) was from forties town.
I'm guessing that since they said his house was off San Pedro he would've been from over there around w/s 42nd crips, with all those e/s crips 42, 43, even maybe 48th.
Or maybe just a displaced rollin' 40.
any ideas?

Re: Street Kings
Yeah this movie was aaaaight.
I copped a bootleg with the watermark but it was good quality besides that. The infighting to me was very realistic. I also thought there was some scenes DIRECTLY out Training Day.
Keanu didn't do too bad and the rest of the cast was cool. Aside from it being too similar to Training Day I don't know why more people didn't check for it

Re: Street Kings
I watched it and thought it had a good storyline but got confusing near the end. I was disappointed there wasnt more of a "gang presence" though, mainly because when I first saw the previews it seemed like thats what the story would be about. And yeah, some scenes reminded me of Training Day alot.

Re: Street Kings
That's the movie about the cops right, and Game plays the role of a gang leader?

What the fuck is wrong with the movie industry these days??? Can't they make anymore good movies??
Why the fuck did the bitch tell me that Harsh Times wasn't even out yet?? And Training Day was the best of the best in terms of gang movies IMO..

Re: Street Kings
They just made up that gang name for the movie. The writer probably read alonso's Crip gang list and combined Rollin' 40's with Spook Town or somehing like that.willihen wrote:watched the commentary and tried to pay attention to filming locations.
