I'm from Michigan and has traveled to LA 4 times now and i love the culture realism of the city and I have this movie it's a classic...LA and the WEST COAST RAP CULTURE RAISED ME SINCE I WAS A KID I AM NOW 42 CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK TO MY FUTURE HOME.
Man it is so cool to find someone who loves this movie as much as me and my bro do. We quote this stuff back and forth still to this day. Great job on the movie location research. Was cool to see it all!
76 here ... Its sad that times look worse then with all the tagging.. but in reality these days are far worse 😥.. i just want love and peace . Real talk 💖🙏🕊️
@@RollyFingers 300 murders is nothing compared to LA in the 90s. LA county was getting 2,500 murders a year in the 90s. All mostly gang related. That’s when LA was a war zone.
This is amazing. Living in La since 2010, I do this in my head with at least half a dozen movies all the time just driving around I'm glad someone did a deep dive and filmed it.
As a veteran of law enforcement myself, an epic and accurate film. This, along with The New Centurions, are two of the most accurate law enforcement films ever.
#1 movie in my book .... And I grew up in some of the spots they filmed at ... now then and now, man it’s crazy how much talent was in that movie 🎥. I’ve watched this movie with intense views ..... I love this movie and know this movie by Heart ❤️
Same with me growing up and still living in my South East San Diego hood. Except now the neighborhood has been gentrified with uber white techies. I miss my multi cultural familia hood.
@@grimtooth2336 I feel you.. but, you people had YEARS to buy... and there have been mucho money that has come through the hoods the last 50 years... instead of lo-lo's and shoes.. and stereo system etc, you guys shoulda been going in on property.. I remember in the late 70's to the mid 90's, you could not GIVE AWAY property in ELA and South Central.. I remember seeing entire plazas for sale for under 200K .... you guys dropped the ball and now are kinda crying about it... no hate.. all facts..
You named all main actors on the movie and you forgot Leon "Killer B" Robinson, he's been in all kind of movies, he played David Ruffin in the Temptations movie one of my favorite movies....
David Ruffin: Their is only one David Ruffin and without him the name ain't nothing but group in search of a David Ruffin yeah we should call the group David Ruffin and the Temptations haha yeah sound good to me
Back in the day we went to drop off a friend that lived on Fickett and couldn’t get trough because the cops had it yellow taped. Some dude got murdered and his body was just bellow that Jesus mural. That was crazy to see. My friend lived at the apartments that were also knocked down next to that mural.
I love this movie and have seen it countless times. I'm handicap with a brittle bone disease and my childhood was the worst but luckily I had movies and TV and this was one of those movies that helped me through some hard times as I would watch certain movies over and over because back then we had VHS but I do remember seeing it on cable also but movies are still a huge part of my life and I don't know what I would do without them but this is a movie that I need to revisit and have in my collection. This was awesome seeing these places. I've really enjoyed your videos.
It's amazing how much movies and music can help us through some really hard times. If you have a Blu-ray player, I recommend getting the Colors Blu-ray. It has that deleted footage I spoke about. Thank you so much for watching.
Just finished watching Color's. I say it everytime they dont make them good like they used too. Nothing out there these day's can touch this kind of movie! Every actor is good. Every scene is good!
NICE Upload!!! Saw this Cult F*cking CLASSIC back in '88 when it first premiered at The Allerton Theater in the Bronx, GOOD Memories, AWESOME Soundtrack, GREAT FLICK!!!!
I’ve seen this movie twice. Being from NYC, I’ve always been fascinated with all things Los Angeles. Thanks for breaking down the locations. Now I have to watch this movie again but now with deeper insight. Prime Video had it included free for the longest, now you must pay. But I’ll definitely watch it again and soon.
Movies always roll over to other streaming sites. So if it's not on prime it'll get put on Netflix, hbo, Starz, showtime, hulu, etc. Like a roulette table. It'll bounce back eventually after it's on the other streaming services.
This showed everyone what we went through in Los Angeles. I remember going to Japan after this came out and in Japan on a military base they had crips and bloods
I absolutely loved this movie with all great actors. This video is awesome with visiting all the locations in today's time vs the past. Man I miss the 80s.
My brother and i saw Colors when it first came out in theaters. Like you said this movie had a great list of actors. I remember Trinidad Silva from an episode of "Hunter" with Fred Dryer in which he played a gang leader and he did a really great job in that role. At the time he was alive i did not keep up with him, so i did not know his name. Thank you for the info and the great vid about this classic film.
I've been a Police Officer for decades and the movie "Colors" is the most realistic movie ever made that shows how Police Officers worked and dealt with Gang Members back in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's.
except in real life the CPD corruption in this era is legendary and on par with NYC old school mafia corruption. If these guys were your roll models then you did something wrong
@Preacher Man wasnt assassinated, that's an easy storyline Do a little research on how his life went the wrong direction after the articles. Connect the dots

1988 my family bought/received our very first "black box". We plugged it in and "Colors" was the feature film airing on the PPV. We watched it twice that night. I still don't know of one family in both my childhood neighborhoods that had a black box before my family. We had the first one in RI!!!!!
Yes thanks for showing us the then and now locations. I have the VHS extended version of colors wasn’t easy to get but found it on eBay from another country. Colors was definitely a bad ass movie 💯R.I.P. Trinidad Silva 🙏🏻
I was in training as a patrol officer when this movie was released and my trainer (FTO) had a choir practice at his home with beer and pizza as several officers watched this movie. Your recent visit back to these locations where Colors was filmed is absolutely AWESOME! Please do more and Thanks Again!!!!
That MAUI and Sons T-shirt though! Gotta grab on some of that 80's swag! T&C Surf, MAUI and Sons, Local Motion, STUSSY etc. GOOD SH!T! Thanks for helping me in, remembering the memories! The 80's we're better than I gave them credit for at the time!
One of my all time favorite movies. Mario Lopez had a small role in it. LOVE the Garbage Pail Kids in your room. I still have mine from when I was a kid.
I'm glad you talk about the seven minutes of extra footage. I seem to remember a scene that I saw in 1989 where some guy gets stabbed at the beach in front of his family. But I never saw that scene again and thought maybe I made it up in my head?
I remember that scene!! I thought the same thing when i would watch it many times years later like...what happened to the beach scene?? I think they made it disappear because it made people afraid to take their families to the beaches..i know i wouldn't take mine after seeing that scene!! lol
There was a scene when McGavin goes to pick up the girl (forgot her name). Her homeboys confront him and key his car, before she comes over and says "he's with me!"
I downloaded the uncut version from the pirate bay. I was so used to the vhs version that l realised there were missing scenes from the DVD version. Another small scene that’s missing is when the cripp swallows the drugs before Penn starts to choke him saying “spit it out”.
Well done, great step by step walkthrough on this great classic Esa movie. I lived at the corner of Guirado St and S Fickett St during the 60s when I was a kid, and immediately recognized the neighborhood when I saw this movie at a drive-inn theater in 79. Thanks!
Cheers mate for filming the locations. One of the things that makes me love colours is the grittiness of east la. I especially love the opening credits with the song one time one night by Los Lobos. And l love the scene where the camera pans down from the city skyscrapers to the 21st street gang walking down the alley. “Two one homes”. I remember when the DVD came out l thought to myself that some scenes are missing compared to the vhs version l’m used too. Like when Pac-Man comes to pick up Maria and some young vatos (including the kid he sprayed in his face) start hassling him and scratches his car and when theres a Mexican/American guy at the beach with his wife and kids and gets stabbed because his not affiliated with a gang and when the scene before Sean starts to choke the guy saying “spit it out” you see the guy dealing and then swallows the drugs because the cops just drove in. I’m glad l download a uncut version off the pirate bay. One memory that stands out about this film was when it released here in Australia on vhs. After that there were kids at school with Raiders caps. I was 13 at the time and l tried so hard to get one, but never could. This influencing also happened to some kids with the film Romper Stomper. I remember after that came out, some of the Greek kids at school started shaving there heads. I went to a very multicultural school, which l appreciate, because l learnt to judge a person by what they say and do. Not because of there race. I forgot to mention that it’s a shame that the Jesus muriel has gone. I remember seeing that in Falling Down and Blood in Blood out, which was filmed in the similar locations.
Hey thank you so much for watching. That's so wild to hear about everyone wearing Raiders hats over there. I love it. scary to think about everyone being influenced by Romper Stomper though. I did videos on Blood in Blood out and falling down also. Thanks again
That was awesome! I remember when this came out I was still living in Chicago and the local news stations were saying that some of the young people that went to see it were seeing rival gang members in the theater. They had to put security and police inside to make sure everyone was safe. Glad I got to see it in the theater when I was a kid. Thanks for the tip on the vhs version. Just grabbed a copy of it off ebay a couple minutes ago.
simón thanks for doing this video homes, it's spectacular the way you documented all these locations! b.t.w.. Trinidad Silva was an absolute genius actor...man what he could have done if not for that tragic accident on July 31, 1988 in Whittier, I first noticed him on an episode of "The White Shadow" 1979 TV show and was an instant fan. I could see him winning Academy Awards. Love your channel carnale, subscribed immediately and will be watching all your videos.
Oh my Lord! I'm so happy I found this channel. Colors is one of my all time favorite films too. Great job showing the different locations where the some of the scenes were filmed!!! How cool is that ty :)
Thank you. I'm happy you found my channel too. I'll actually be re-doing my Colors video in the future. I'm not really happy with this video... plus I found more locations. So the new video will be wayyyy better. Thanks.
I grew up in Southeast LA ( Bellflower). Compton was right over the river. And after Colors came out everyone wanted to join a gang start a gang or something. Entertaining movie but counterproductive if you ask me. Great video finding the locations.
Yeah I definitely agree. I think it had both affects. I think it did help to expose some of what was going on, but it also made people want to be part of it. Thank you so much, thank you for watching.
And they say movies don’t influence people. I remember after this came out, kids at school started wearing Raiders caps. And this was in Melbourne Australia.
I was in High School when movie was filmed......I attended Locke High School in South Central L.A .......BURGER STAND LOCATION WAS FILMED AROUND THE CORNER FROM MI SCHOOL .
I grew up in that neighborhood I even attend Belmont HS I remember my dad will always take me there as a kid later in life I realized it was a historical place because a train used to go through there but I also realized a lot of movies were filmed there including my favorite movie of all time, Predator 2.
Thank you so much, I can remember those scenes like it was yesterday. It brought back lots of memories, look where we are today. The 80’s were fun, break dancing and people just having a good old time. Now its a freakin war zone everywhere you turn. GOD Bless you and thanks again!
In my neighborhood 21St was a real gang Comprised of the A,B,C tracks Kickball team against D track was 22nd st gang Kickball team This movie really played hell in our neighborhood
True Story: Colors had came out when I was a year and a half old,I didn't turn two until June of that year. Anyway,my aunt and her boyfriend at the time wanted to see the movie but couldn't because they were both underage. Because of this, my grandmother had to take them and my mother was also curious about the film as well ,so she decided to tag along. Only one problem: They didn't have a babysitter for me,so they ended up taking me as well and to say the least we were the only civilians in the theater,compared to the hundreds of gangmembers that were in the audience. To make a long story short,Colors was one of those movies that stuck with me for the rest of my life and I get giddy every time I watch it.
That’s awesome video of colors filming locations I really enjoyed it, My friend West Coast Graffiti did a video on the alley that was seen behind the view of Downtown LA it’s was cool, and do you think you can do the scenes where they filmed Beverly Hills Cop that would be awesome
Awesome, thank you so much for watching. Cool, I've seen some if his videos. And Beverly hills cop... it's on the list. Look for it soon. Thanks again.
Plus when Penn picks up Maria and the vatos scratch his car and when his choking a guy saying “spit it out”. You see the guy swallow the drugs before penn forces does that.
The VHS & Beta cassettes were the only formats to have the extra 7 minutes. The Laserdisc had the regular theatrical version. I think they used that Laserdisc version for the DVD.
Robert Duvall is a master craftsman. All he has to do is act naturally. The Apostle, Lonesome Dove, Colors. He never disappoints.
All time great
Duvall was absolutely fantastic in this film -- and always
I'm from Michigan and has traveled to LA 4 times now and i love the culture realism of the city and I have this movie it's a classic...LA and the WEST COAST RAP CULTURE RAISED ME SINCE I WAS A KID I AM NOW 42 CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK TO MY FUTURE HOME.

I was born in 78 and I love how you put it. Thats probably why I prefer the 90s to the 80s, I was a teen and had more freedom. Love these videos :)

Colors is one of my favorite movies. I watched it 1000 times. And I’m sure I’ll watch it 1000 more times.
This movie was so much better than many people remember. It’s also interesting to see so many young actors that we know now.
I was 13 when colors came out and the chicano scenes were on tap 👍👍
I was 12 and I wanted to see it so bad that my aunt who was a public school teacher took me to see it LOL =D
I was 8 years old then. Born in 1980. I couldn't see the movie then.
I was in high school in 1988 them were some rough times them 80’s looking at it now it’s like Disneyland in 🇺🇸 not nearly as rough 🤙🏾
L.A. had 300 murders last year. Its getting back to those times. Get the Citizen app. It tells a different story...
@@RollyFingers
300 murders is nothing compared to LA in the 90s.
LA county was getting 2,500 murders a year in the 90s. All mostly gang related. That’s when LA was a war zone.
@Demon 1800 In New York back in the 90’s, we were pushing 2500 a year. Crazy times back then.
Is it me or people where really primitive in the early 90's , there was definitely to many guns out there in the wrong hands.
@@alphazen3108 It was the crack era. Money turned normal people into killers.
This is amazing. Living in La since 2010, I do this in my head with at least half a dozen movies all the time just driving around I'm glad someone did a deep dive and filmed it.
Thank you! Been doing it most of my life, decided to finally document it. Thanks for watching
As a veteran of law enforcement myself, an epic and accurate film. This, along with The New Centurions, are two of the most accurate law enforcement films ever.
I remember theaters were having problems with gangsters showing up to see movie.
Colors is the only movie I've ever been to where they had to frisk me before selling me a ticket!
Right, it was crazy back then with gangs and taggers
"Gangsters"
@@zigman3105yes a member of a criminal gang is called a gangster it’s not hard to figure out.

I went to a very multicultural school, which l appreciate, because l learnt to judge a person by what they say and do. Not because of there race.
I forgot to mention that it’s a shame that the Jesus muriel has gone. I remember seeing that in Falling Down and Blood in Blood out, which was filmed in the similar locations.
Hey thank you so much for watching. That's so wild to hear about everyone wearing Raiders hats over there. I love it. scary to think about everyone being influenced by Romper Stomper though. I did videos on Blood in Blood out and falling down also. Thanks again
LOL! I never knew that was Rico Suave in it. HILARIOUS!
Awesome Movie 👍👍👍😎 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
"You f#$%in' with the Sheriff now Oso!" This was awesome bro...thx
“Who is Smokey the bear”
Great video! One of my all time favorite movies! Born and raised in LA, and I’m a 20+ year LAPD veteran too! Thank you!
Cool what division
That's bad ass. I'm 48yo that was one of my favorite movies, i also recited every line in the movie.
That was awesome! I remember when this came out I was still living in Chicago and the local news stations were saying that some of the young people that went to see it were seeing rival gang members in the theater. They had to put security and police inside to make sure everyone was safe. Glad I got to see it in the theater when I was a kid. Thanks for the tip on the vhs version. Just grabbed a copy of it off ebay a couple minutes ago.
simón thanks for doing this video homes, it's spectacular the way you documented all these locations! b.t.w.. Trinidad Silva was an absolute genius actor...man what he could have done if not for that tragic accident on July 31, 1988 in Whittier, I first noticed him on an episode of "The White Shadow" 1979 TV show and was an instant fan. I could see him winning Academy Awards. Love your channel carnale, subscribed immediately and will be watching all your videos.
Thank you! I really appreciate that. And I agree about Trinidad
Oh my Lord! I'm so happy I found this channel. Colors is one of my all time favorite films too. Great job showing the different locations where the some of the scenes were filmed!!! How cool is that ty :)
Thank you. I'm happy you found my channel too. I'll actually be re-doing my Colors video in the future. I'm not really happy with this video... plus I found more locations. So the new video will be wayyyy better. Thanks.
Great movie, I was a rookie police officer shortly after this came out so it is very near and dear to my heart. Thank you for this!
Good video!! Also I love the Garbage pale kids stuff in the background at the end!! I used to collect the cards as a kid!!
Great content! Not only did you do your homework, your cadence and delivery is what me watch the whole thing from start to finish.
Thank you! I really appreciate that
thank you for the great history
My pleasure. Thank you for watching
Growing up in LA in the 80s motivated me to join a gang! Glad I survived that chapter of my life..
Thank you for what you do. This brings back so many wonderful memories.
You don't know me fool, you just owe me cool" Ice t.
I grew up in Southeast LA ( Bellflower). Compton was right over the river. And after Colors came out everyone wanted to join a gang start a gang or something. Entertaining movie but counterproductive if you ask me. Great video finding the locations.
Yeah I definitely agree. I think it had both affects. I think it did help to expose some of what was going on, but it also made people want to be part of it. Thank you so much, thank you for watching.
And they say movies don’t influence people. I remember after this came out, kids at school started wearing Raiders caps. And this was in Melbourne Australia.
I was in High School when movie was filmed......I attended Locke High School in South Central L.A .......BURGER STAND LOCATION WAS FILMED AROUND THE CORNER FROM MI SCHOOL .
I’ve only went to watch a movie by myself twice - and this is one of those 🤘
That was very entertaining. Loved that movie. Thank you for your efforts and time putting this together.
My pleasure. Thank you for watching
Great footage ! Thanks for taking the time to film all the locations.
Thank you! And thank you for watching, I really appreciate it.
The 80s was the best era ,big up 80s life,shouts out from london uk my drapper.colors was dope
It definitely was!! Thank you for watching!
Saw this movie in Huntington Park when I was 11, definitely made a lasting impression on me growing up in the CPT💯
Felipe got all fucked up on PCP homes. He got whacked on that juice. But he’s straight homes. He goes to school.
Oh yea hes scared alright hes scared what im gunna do to him
The Belmont tunnel was one of the most used filming locations in LA during the 70s and 80s!
I might have to do a separate video on it. Thanks so much for watching.
@Messenger Tunnel is still there, its blocked off!
I grew up in that neighborhood I even attend Belmont HS I remember my dad will always take me there as a kid later in life I realized it was a historical place because a train used to go through there but I also realized a lot of movies were filmed there including my favorite movie of all time, Predator 2.
@@gilbertgarcia776 Lol @ the sequel.. First Predator was better.
Huell houser did a whole show there
Thank you so much, I can remember those scenes like it was yesterday. It brought back lots of memories, look where we are today. The 80’s were fun, break dancing and people just having a good old time. Now its a freakin war zone everywhere you turn. GOD Bless you and thanks again!
Thank you so much I appreciate it
This is a great movie. I’ve watched it about 3,345,432 times and I’ll watch it again. Thanks for posting
Thank you
In my neighborhood 21St was a real gang Comprised of the A,B,C tracks Kickball team against D track was 22nd st gang Kickball team This movie really played hell in our neighborhood
True Story:
Colors had came out when I was a year and a half old,I didn't turn two until June of that year. Anyway,my aunt and her boyfriend at the time wanted to see the movie but couldn't because they were both underage. Because of this, my grandmother had to take them and my mother was also curious about the film as well ,so she decided to tag along. Only one problem: They didn't have a babysitter for me,so they ended up taking me as well and to say the least we were the only civilians in the theater,compared to the hundreds of gangmembers that were in the audience. To make a long story short,Colors was one of those movies that stuck with me for the rest of my life and I get giddy every time I watch it.
Very cool man 👍
dude the colours soundtrack was literally my childhood anthem. got me into hip hop
Master job!!! Wow....brings me back back in da dayyyyy!!!
That’s awesome video of colors filming locations I really enjoyed it, My friend West Coast Graffiti did a video on the alley that was seen behind the view of Downtown LA it’s was cool, and do you think you can do the scenes where they filmed Beverly Hills Cop that would be awesome
Awesome, thank you so much for watching. Cool, I've seen some if his videos. And Beverly hills cop... it's on the list. Look for it soon. Thanks again.
I remember the extra footage ... it was a beach scene and a guy got stabbed
I remember that scene. VHS is all there was when I saw it. I remember there was talk about banning it in Chicago theaters when it first ran.
Thanks for the spoiler. lol
Plus when Penn picks up Maria and the vatos scratch his car and when his choking a guy saying “spit it out”. You see the guy swallow the drugs before penn forces does that.
Didn't know there was extra footage. Thanks. 🇬🇧👍
I worked as a bartender at shortstop near Dodger stadium a cop bar...Years way later Sean walked in with Dennis Leary...Bar empty I almost died...
Huh, I never knew short stop was a cop bar. Went there a few time in the early 2000s
"Colors" was an "event movie". Everyone was talking about it. Not cheesy at all. Thx!
THIS IS AN AWESOME CHANNEL LOVE THIS 80’s $HIT 💪🏼💯
Thank you so much
"How do you like me now Pac Man?!? This is who I am!!"
You're sadistic Danny
SOmany GREATactors-INCREDIBLE performances..great channel3:51
Oh hell yes you did Colors! Getting the Popcorn for this
The VHS & Beta cassettes were the only formats to have the extra 7 minutes. The Laserdisc had the regular theatrical version. I think they used that Laserdisc version for the DVD.
Then how did l download an uncut version from the pirate bay. Plus it’s DVD quality.
w/s South Central Los Angeles in the building !!! but most of that was on the Eastside of South Central and Watts
your opening dolly shots are smoother than the originals. awesome.
Wow. Thank you!
I can't remember how many times i watched this movie.I am fond with it.
