  • You know this film is a remake of the 1935 film "The Informer." The director Jules Dassin stated this a long time ago in Life magazine. Or was it Look magazine.Oh well. thought I'd let you know.

  • to hear the song and watch the beginning...type into youtube: johnny i love you - booker t & the mg's.

  • didn't realize until now that Max Julien "How to be a player" was Johnny.

  • at 13, the first black movie about my race, it broke my heart to see what they did to Johnny! I had to buy the album to hear the song "Johnny I love you"; and the pain was still there.

  • Can someone name the music on 03:11?

  • And They Should'a Been Killin This Faggot Ass Nigga That Offered Him The Reward Money,Instead Of Tank.

  • They Should'a Neva Jus Ostracised This Brotha Like They Did,All Because He Was Fucked Up About Kings Death & Still In Mourning.Then Tell The Man He's No Damn Good,When Obviously He Looks Up To Them.Then They Go & Tell Him Johnny(His Main Nigga) Said Dont Trust Him.Come On.Ya'll Just Breeded The Agent/Snitch Smooth Outta This Dude.He Knew 2 Much 4 Them Niggaz To Treat Em Like That..On This Holier Than Thou Type Shit..I Love This Movie,Damn I Wish I Could Find It..
