This is weard? I'm 52, I love Stallone & Henry Winkler "The Fonze" Never saw Lord's of Flatbush or even knew about it? Have that movie on order now to watch. OMG I was 14 in 72!

[alexlancer11]

Stalone really is brilliant. He kind of reminds me of Ed Norton from the Honeymooners in the lords of >>> He is so under rated by most.

sly is god

Stallone is great! When you can get him one on one he is us (BEING THE COMMEN MAN) I loved him in DEATH RACE 2000 and of course ROCKY-NIGHT HAWKS-FIRST BLOOD...These are his Best and he knows it....Oh! Of course L.O.F.B. (love the wedding ring pawn shop scene) Sly thanks man for the movies I did not mention. My wife and I love yaz (OSCAR was funny)

[parkman35]

The movie starts off pretty well, but as it goes on, it runs out of steam...but, it's almost has a cult-like status...Sly getting up there in age, but still pretty fit...

ezmoola23 - Can you try and talk English please? That makes no sense at all, It says you are 44 years old from the USA and yet you act about 5 and have such poor English. Please get a job and life. Thank you :)

[lamentate07]

L.O.F is ok but it's caught ackwardly between realism and nostalgia and never finds the right tone.

The Wanderers was far more consistent overall.

[JackHauss]

Lords of Flatbush is THE most realistic movie ever made about how life was in New York city in the 1950`s. No movie even touches it, not even close. That opening scene where the homeroom teacher is taking role call and screaming, holy shit man. That is exactly how it was. Yes I am an old fart.

[rockincarbonara]

@JackHauss Well.. i have to admid that i´m much younger than you and i sadly couln´t live in the fifties. But if i compare "The Lords of flatbush" with another Movie created in the fifties just like "High School Caesar" then i´m not that sure if "The Lords of flatbush "is realy that "Realistic" like you say. Tell me: did youth realy wear that tight jeans in the fifties? I´m Sorry if i´m sounding a bit arrogant, but i just like to compare details.

he looks different, his face :/

like he just woke up

[JackHauss]

Hey, if I could look like that when I`m pushing 70 I`d kiss the ground I walk on.

[kingofcraig]

I love Sly - he is so honest and open about his life.

[bloodgutsnglory]

Stallone IS the man!!!!!

[guyascott]

one of the greatest voices ever...

[mrtrevorblack]

If you love this movie, the book is well worth buying. A real easy read, like Verona is in the room telling you the stories!

[serling]

Stephen, I saw Lords opening day when I was ten at the Northridge mall! I loved it. I also had the paperback. My father the SAME YEAR produced another small film about high school kids called "Buster & Billie."

[skipdillard]

i have the soundtrack to the movie on album if anyone is interested contact me.

[agundez10]

i would like to know about it

[1974caprice]

would love to have it

[nikidjan]

I saw this film one time when I was young and I'd love to see it again, but I don't find it in France. I'll be interested to have the soundtracks of the film.

do you still have it?

Thanks

[skipdillard]

i love this movie. I especialy love the rooftop scene between Stanley and Chico. I just would like to know why the clarity is so poor and some of the dialouge tough to hear.

[StephenVerona]

Ask Columbia Pictures who made the prints. We gave them two superb quality prints and the negative which we made at Technicolor New York. When they ran off the original 200 prints they did it in Technicolor California where the lab was different as well as the temperature of the water, the chemicals and the equipment. When they made the DVD they never bothered to spend the money to correct the problems. You should write them. Best, Stephen Verona

[bassyck]

My dear cousin,Paul Mace,played 'Wimpy'.He and Stallone had to teach Winkler how to be 'cool'.Later,Henry put that knowledge to use on Happy Days.Paul was an amazing singer,guitarist,actor,martial artist and like a brother to me.We were both only children.He lived in NYC and I in RI.We spent all of our vacation time together.Paul who was not a shy person really helped open me up and planted seeds that have blossomed into skills I use to this very day.You are sorely missed Paul and very loved.Ed

[StephenVerona]

Dear Ed, Paul was everything you said and more. He was a joy to work with and to know. It was a sad day when he was no longer with us. Thank you for the posting. Best, Stephen Verona

[bassyck]

Dear Mr.Verona,Thank you for you kind words sir and a wonderful film!Paul and Sly quickly became friends on the set.Years later,Mr.Stallone asked him(in Paul's own words),"Hey meatball..you wanna be in my movie?!" Paul accepted and became a member of the Paradise Alley cast-great opening rooftop race with very memorable facial expressions :) I'm so happy that people are discovering and re-discovering your film which finally made it to DVD!It's nice to know Paul is remembered and recognized.Ed

[meliachild]

sly is so humble for such a huge star he never forgets his roots,true legend!

[MUZIKNFILMZ]

I remember Stallone and Perry King from that movie!---Whatever happened to King?

[NYVoice]

This is so cool-so RAW, in fact. Stallone would sometimes cringe at a talk show host referring to Lords but you can see that even he has fond memories of it. I saw it when it came out and I thought it was terrific.

[poolboyinla]

great video

[tobetamaki]

wheres the rest of the cast?

[fullmonty71]

interesting to hear that Slys character was the foundation of Rockys character.
