Shaft

[DickieM92]

1. Jeffrey Wright (acting as Peoples) is African American

2. "Peoples Hernandez" was supposed to be Puerto Rican (not Dominican, the police woman says it in the movie).

People get confused at why Dominican music (Fulanito) is played in a few of his scenes.

= The producers didn't do their homework lol

[jackdaman80]

Man, Peoples was the shit! That puerto rican gangsta was hard!

[DancingChakra]

Classic Peoples Hernandez lines...

"what you in here for whiteboy, income tax 'ebayshun'".

"puta, why you flinch?"

[sisco249]

just another punk chicano!! The kind you wanna empty your Saiga shotgun into!  MoFo!

[vjiggy81]

i totally agree, i was for some reason impressed by how much this guy new about playing a dominican and then was even more impressed when i found out he was'nt even latino!

[vjiggy81]

hes dominican, not rican not mexican! his brother who gets killed has the onlyest dominican accent!

[djchino]

@vjiggy81 his african american.In 2006, became the first African American to play Felix Leiter in an official James Bond film (Casino Royale (2006). (Bernie Casey played Leiter in the unofficial Never Say Never Again (1983).) . i got this from his biography. do you know any dominicans name jeffrey wright? i dont think so. but yes i also though that he was hispanic.

[Maxartz2010]

why do you have the mexican flag the characters are representing dominicano's...

[AnAutumnWind]

What song is this?

[jd426999]

What makes this character so spectacular is the voice and mannerism are so COMPLETELY different fom his own . Listen to his real voice, hes a pure gentleman. well spoken, Not some hood who was just playing a part he already knew. This is acting at its absolute FINEST , IMO. We ned to see a lot more of him.

[therealraybaby]

PEOPLES was a muthafucka! I liked it when he kept saying "TIGER WOODS" and when he said "This is real egyptian silk shaft." This guy should play in a Gangsta movie with AL PACINO! SAY GOODBYE TO DA BADGUY!

[ctillz07]

[djchino]

@ctillz07 african american

[Taylorhoge]

[CypressVillain128]

[jorgnava]

My favorite line is : you like golf blanquito..tiger wood! Clasic. they also use a lot dominican stuf that only dominicans understand..like mama guevo!!

[CypressVillain128]

yup very tru

[daviid08]

Jeffrey Wright is funny

[anto1982]

Not as dumb as you sound.

[varfordogjesus]

Bling bling. Cant understand why these people think its cool to have tons of necklaces, earrings and fingerrings. To prove how rich they are? Just looks plain stupid.

[varfordogjesus]

I can agree with the Goth Clothed girls, but they are usually around 14 years. So I can understand that. Now i also know u hate cowboy hats :) Take care!! LOL

[varfordogjesus]

Read it again. Compare it to your earlier comment. You will understand.

[varfordogjesus]

Yeah, u are right, probably it was your mom that wrote "I think people who wear Cowboys hats are retarded". Send greetings to her.

[myjanuary151987]

The only guy I can respect in this film is Jeffrey Wright. Jackson is the fuckward. Black racist and what is more important the copper outlaw.

[woodarddi]

Jeffrey Wright is one helluva talented actor. His Oscar is coming!

[EmmyLuxeMakeUpInc]

he is the male meryl streep, honestly.

[HipHopJun]

"vamo peliar! vamo peliar!"

[danielizhere]

that dude really could pass as a dominican

[Joeism]

i remember how disappointed i was when i found out he wasn't really Dominican. lol but really, Jeffrey killed this role in every positive way possible.

[gp5]

He's an excellent actor! Check him out in Basquiat

[watermelondonnelly]

Yea, I know, lol. I was really surprised when I found out hes black. That guy can really fake an accent. I give major props.

[iwannacfights]

"i go like this on 181 three people die on riverside"

[escobarrrrr]

you damm right jeffrey make the movie

[videogirlzzzzzz]

Jeffrey Wright is an awesome actor. He made this movie to me.

[GiuseppeCorrado]

R.I.P. Jeffrey Wright

[TokyoXplorer]

what the fuck.jefferey wright is still alive!

[alsheikh871]

People Hernandez, was in my opinion, the main character of the movie "shaft". Each time, he was on the screen, you could be sure a punch-line would come !

Great actor. And for those who remember his character in "Broken Flowers" with Bill Murray, really stratospheric with these ethiopian vibes.

[buck50Roc]

what is the point of this video. why don't u just leave the fucking dialogue

[rosss1959]

yeah boycott was the name. I think he really nailed that role in the "Shaft" movie when he played Peoples Hernandez.

[rosss1959]

yeah he's pretty versatile. He played Ali's photographer (Howard Bingham) in the Will Smith movie.."ALI". He's also portrayed Martin Luther King in a BET movie (which I can't think of the name)

[Martinprima]

boycott and is HBO i think

[Sotnas]

I love Jeffrey Wright as Peoples Hernandez. He's such a great character. I actually wish he hadn't gotten killed.
