"Sit your five dollars ass down before I make change!!" Best line ever
I always remember that episode from Martin. 😂
Martin comes to mind 😂😂😂
@@JamalJay93 That's What I Was Finna Say Lmaoo 😂😂😂
If anyone on here is a WWE fan, LA Knight actually quoted this on TV too. 😀
😂😂
Singer named Christopher Williams starring in this movie as a gang member in the suit did the song "Dreamin" for the soundtrack. That song's still a 90s hit! 🙌
He is also Al B. Sure’s cousin and has a son with Stacy Dash.
"Your soul is required in hell!" This movie had some badass lines. 🔥
I still quote this movie on a regular basis. 😂
@@Destyn2b Me too 🤣
Finally!! Someone doing a full reaction to New jack city lmao.
I haven’t seen anybody do reaction to this movie only MJ
I've only seen one, and that was almost 2 years ago.
@@skbwolverine oh wow
@skbwolverine
The twins, Octokrool reacted to it
@LGSPTJ Yes, they did. That's who I was referring too, actually. I've been following for a long time. 😂
The movie is called New Jack City, for a couple of reasons. 1. The popular music genre of the time was called "New Jack Swing" (The main creator and most famous producer of the music genre is Teddy Riley of the group Guy, they appear at the second club scene singing the song "New Jack City") 2. At the time of release (1991), a popular slang term for someone new to something, was "New Jack". You could substitute New Jack for Rookie back in those days.
Facts
Also, the writer of this movie wrote an article about the drug war in Detroit that was literally called "New Jack City". You broke it down perfectly though. Respect
U forgot to mention Keith Sweat that has a cameo in this movie & is one of the first New Jack Swing artists too & one of the grandfathers of R&B
“Rock a bye baby” *laughs* is iconic
I guess being born in the 80’s and growing up in the 90’s even as child I saw this movie through a different lens than the youngsters today.
Lol. Kinda weird perspective huh?
"Am I my brother's keeper" Nino Brown is a legend. Great movie.
I love how you’re doing all these movies no other channels has done this movie
This movie is a time period piece...... it's the beginning of the crack era which lasted roughly about 20 years it came on the scene in 1984 but really popped off in 1986..... this is how she really was it really did take over the whole buildings
“Rock A Bye Babyyyy” my favorite movie line ever😂😂
but yeah the crack epidemic in the 80s is definitely akin to the opiate epidemic of today. It was maybe even worse back then, it literally ravaged whole communities😢 Another great reaction from my bestie in my head MJ👏🏾👏🏾
Mario Van Peebles worried that with Wesley's charisma people would put him more as a hero in the movie, so he had Nino hide behind the little girl as he was being shot out and then he had Wesley add lib with the scene where he poured champagne over his ex. She wasn't expecting any of that, but they wanted to seize that scene. Also that was Ice T's first acting role, playing a cop (something he dispised at the time)
That final scene with Nino and G Money was the highlight of the film, gets me emotional every time. Similar to when Tony killed Many in Scarface
New Jack City is about NYPD trying to bring down a drug dealer & his crew. This movie launched a lot of careers such as Wesley Snipes, Ice-T, Chris Rock & Allen Payne. Fun Fact: Martin Lawrence was supposed to play Pookie but didn’t due to the death of his mentor comedian/actor Robin Harris who played in House Party as Kid’s father. New Jack City, Boyz N The Hood, Juice & Menace II Society is the Mount Rushmore of hood classics.
Actually Michael Jackson's Bad video launched Wesley's career.
@@ChrisXIllustratesXGaming New Jack City made him a household name.
@@therealmarlonbellamy thats better.
Ice-t started his movie career with Colors
@@burnttoaster6313 He was in Breakin prior to Colors.
Fun Fact: Cash Money Records the label's name alludes to the Cash Money Brothers, drug kingpin Nino Brown's gang from the 1991 crime film New Jack City. The building The Carter, Lil Wayne named his breakout album series after.
Or it could be the fact that his birth last name is Carter 🤣
Passenger 57 and White Men can't jump are two other really good movies.
Interesting Fact: this movie was based off of the Chambers brothers in Detroit during the 80’s
little known fact
Good info,I didn't know this.
It was based off alot of ppl
Frank Lucas was known for hanging ppl over bridges and the naked drug workers.
Pappy Mason's drug crew killed a cop for fun and took over a NYC projects
No… The Supreme Team, but like they say in the final credits, it was happening in cities all over the country!!
You probably don't remember him playing Jason from Jason's Lyric
Rock-a-bye baby! N.J.C. is underrated AF. Nino & S. Phoenix are my favorite Westley roles.
RIP Bill Nunn.
It took me a long time to like this movie
Bill Nunn Being OG Robbie On Spiderman Hit Different.
RADIO RAHEEM (Do The Right Thing)
FUN FACT: Pookie was Originally written for Martin Lawrence...
I’m glad Martin Lawrence didn’t do that movie. I couldn’t see him being a crackhead.
I love this movie! I can quote almost every line in it for every character. 😂
Judd Nelson, the "white guy" is actually a really good actor. He's been acting since the 80's and was a part of the Brat Pack, a group of actors that starred in a lot John Hughes movies like The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire.
Ice-T started off a rapper and was very anti police. He had been in a movie(Breakin') as a DJ before, but this was his first main role.
Thanks for the reaction!
*John Hughes
@blackmajima Dang you're right.🤦🏽♀️ That's what happens when you're on YT when you're also working. 😂
when she said nino wasnt bad.....LMFAO "keep watching"
Keep watching? The movie started with him dropping a dude off a bridge. He was born with black forces energy.
Anytime you hear your services are no longer needed in drug dealer movies or shows, it never ends well.
That was a era from 86-93 called NEW JACK SWING
You mean 1988-1992. 1993 has more in common with 1994-1996. I mean New Jack Swing was around in the mid 90s, but the style in 1993-1997 was different than 1988-1992.
I watched this movie at an age I had no business viewing it. This film scared me straight to never get into this lifestyle. This is one of Ice T’s first roles if not his first, so that’s why his acting may seem off. This movie was really the Wesley Snipes show. Some may even argue this is his best performance.
Fun Fact: I heard somewhere Martin Lawrence was originally targeted for the Pookie role, but Chris Rock was the better option.
Moe Better Blues Sugar Hill
@@tahirahshabazz50 what about that?
This is the funniest review ever. "No Pooky No" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The young vocal group singing outside The Carter Apartments was “Troop”. Check their video “Spread My Wings”. I love the singing, beat, and dancing. It was the during the start of R&B blending with Hip-Hop.
i remember going to the movie theather back in 1991 to see new jack city whoa movies were so good then to me.
It was an experience for sure!
Did you notice that in the scene where he shoots G-Money there's no special effects, no blood, no bullet wound, no discharge from the gun, no recoil, nothing lol
gotta start wearing them glasses
Fun Facts: Clint Eastwood helped the director Mario Van Peebles (Son of Melvin Van Peebles, for those who don't know is also a director. One is called The Watermelon Man is when black actor Godfrey Cambridge plays a white man who becomes black while his white wife, son, and daughter stays the same.) Clint and Mario did a war movie called Heartbreak Ridge and Mario directed some episodes of 21 Jump Street and Warner Bros. was like "I don't know, he haven't directed anything yet." Clint came in and he was like "Give the kid a shot".
Tupac Shakur auditioned for Gee Money but he was too young and IMDB said "he looked younger than Wesley Snipes." Allen Payne was the youngest actor of the cast than. Either they were saying Pac actually looked like he could be Wesley's little brother or their grammar was off.
Before Judd Nelson two actors who I think could have been awesome was Steve Buscemi and Johnny Depp as Nick Peretti. It would be badass to see Ice-T hanging with Steve Buscemi or Johnny Depp in a movie. But Johnny Depp was too expensive.
Mario also directed an episode of Wiseguy. Like 21Jump Street, they were produced by the late TV producer Stephen J. Cannell ("The Rockford Files", "The A-Team"). Cannell also produced the short-lived detective series, "Sonny Spoon" starring Mario and his dad Melvin.
I could imagine Depp as Peretti, but I don't think he wanted to play a cop again after leaving 21 Jump Street.
Patrick Dempsey was also considered for Peretti.
@charlesnyckd So in another universe we could have got
Blair Underwood as Nino Brown
Taimak aka Bruce Leroy as Scotty Appleton
Tupac Shakur as Gee Money
Martin Lawrence as Pookie
Vivica Fox as Keisha
Patrick Dempsey as Nick Peretti
@@HL-tf2ot Dempsey did a great reading for the role, but Mario thought he was too young and too pretty for the role.
@charlesnyckd I honestly didn't know Patrick was considered at one point, but he's a year younger than Chris Rock, and I guess Pookie is like someone in his late teens' early 20s so it would a little weird since they both had baby faces in the early 90s.
Another classic 1990's film I just re-watched recently is "Judgment Night" from 1993. It's very suspenseful and will make you think twice about taking a wrong detour in Chicago or any big city. Denis Leary gives a terrifying performance as the lead villain chasing down the protagonists of the movie who are witness to a murder committed by Leary's character. It's definitely worth a video reaction and has a great soundtrack as well!
Feel free to check out New Jack City's Twin, King of New York
King Of New came out first
I feel you. I didn’t grow up with a lot of classic black films and I’d definitely heard a lot about some of them, but started watching them on my own as an adult
This is one of best movies ever made
Yep, this and Boyz n that hood released the same year. Both are some of the greatest movies ever made.
Your reactions be funny asf bro😂👏🏽
The movie "Trespass" would be an interesting pick for a reaction.
Thanks! Wesley Snipes, Allen Payne and Judd Nelson where the only legitimate SAG actors on here besides Mario Van Peebles who directed the film and stared in it. You mentioned the acting but you have to put in context this is not a big budget film and your used to more modern films so no excuses but trying to contextualize .Thanks for another banger!
You should watch Trespass and 48 Hours
Nino Brown was definitely the villain. The way he took over the Carter and what he did at the wedding says it all. Going after innocent people and using innocent people as shields is a no-no for me.
he helped the comunity out big time he was a great role model and gave the kids money
@@cadenlewis213He helped whose community by doing what? Giving out turkeys and whatever else he did isn't real help. Taking over apartments is definitely not help.
@@cadenlewis213 I'm not just giving my point of view without living a lot of what y seen on that screen. I not only used to be in the streets on the block and in projects, but I also did 8 joints. That Robin Hood Act that you see is not real. He is a grimey individual. Yeah, a few people might have something good to say about someone like that because they did something for them. However, what do the other people have to say? What does that child's parents he used as a shield have to say? Nothing good, and that's the point.
New Jack City is one of the best, if not the best urban crime films and Wesley Snipes stole the show...
I hope you consider adding "White Man Can't Jump" (1992) with Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson and "Deep Cover" (1992) Lawrence Fishburne and Jeff Goldblum to the list!!!
I honestly like “Sugar Hill” more than “New Jack City”! “New Jack City” was more of a movie of a drug kingpin that couldn’t be touched not even the police couldn’t take him down and a old man took him out which is unheard of. “Sugar Hill” was more reality of a street hustler tryna leave the drug game behind. Yet everyone around him was too fucked up in their own ways to wanna join him like the father and older brother
Seeing Nino breakdown knowing he was gonna kîłł his brother was emotional. He didn't have to take out G-Money but he told him what would happen if Scotty was 5-0.
The film is a story of the start of the Crack Epidemic - Based on several true story's mixed into one.
First movie I remember watching with my dad!!
One Of My All Time Favorite Movie's, Great Movie, Great Cast, Great Reaction To This Great Classic Movie Sweetheart
New Jack City was a complete classic here in Afrika, in it's own right and completely separate from Scarface, two different eras and very different preconditions.
Now this a NYC Hood classic film right here!!👏🏼☠️🃏🔥
Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
You should watch Sugar Hill, nice reaction tho
In the late 80s thru the 90's there was very popular music which mixed R&B and Hip-Hop, it was called New Jack Swing.. New Jack Swing was a whole subculture at the time which also included style of dress.. The title of the movie comes from that subculture.. Most of the music is considered new jack swing.. You should check out the soundtrack to this movie.. It's fire.
Jodeci. Teddy Riley. Black street. Keith Sweat. Jagged Edge. Bobby Brown. BBD. Man the list never ends
@@Trashman702 Yes sir.. I still listen to all of them to this day..
Oh, I can’t wait to see this reaction real talk You dive in deep into the OG catalog now Wesley Snipes has a long list of movies including the blade franchise. This is gonna be great. Can’t wait to see your reaction.
I saw this film in the theater. Us 80s babies are built different. 😏 Overall, it was a good experience. Great reaction! 👍🏿
Please wear your glasses 🙏🏾 those are your prescription glasses they are to help you see do not mess up those beautiful eyes thank you.🖤😁
Somebody request “ Lean On Me” Morgan freeman
Better Than Remember The Titans 💯
Love this reaction, but I just want to say that that chain, is chaining. Keep it up, MJ.
Allen Payne is from Jason’s Lyric
Which guy is honestly even watching the movie, i'm just reacting to the reactor and seeing her
"This white guy" is Judd Nelson. His biggest film is "The Breakfast Club"
He’s funny ash in this movie lol. They call themselves “the cash money brothas.” Lmao 🤣 😎
Finally a reaction from New Jack City nice upload MJ
If you like the main detective, Mario van Pebbles, I suggest you watch his favorite movie role, “Posse”
It came out a year after New Jack City
The movie In Too Deep has LL Cool J playing a similar nino role w Omar Epps being undercover like Ice T.
LL was crazy in that movie
MJ, you are on fire!! I cant lie, nothing be heat on your channel. Good stuff for real
30:11 “ is he jump rope with chains” ⛓️⛓️Lmao gotta love MJ💙🫶🏾💍 great review baby girl. You have to watch. “IN TOO DEEP” with LL Cool J. classic Hood movie👌🏾👌🏾
Ohhhhhhh hell yeah NEW JACK CITY come on MJ u bringing back too many memories CLASSIC!!!!!🤣💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
i thought nino and the light skin were the cool ones at first but ice tea is cooler
“But Jack had something to do with it” I’m CRYING 🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
48:10 Really enjoyed your reaction it makes my day better ❤❤🥰 and keep wearing yo glasses sis so ya wont have to squint no more 😭😂😂😅
I won’t lie I was waiting for this 1. Great Reaction BUT BABY GET YOUR GLASSES ON! U said to remind you. 🤓
When she said this movie wasn't clearly showing you who the bad guy is I literally screamed lol because they show you from the first scene of this movie how Nino is a horrible human being & the fact that he gives drugs to people that he knows they will eventually end up dying from makes him the worst kinda person I love her but she says stuff sometimes that makes absolutely know sense IMO 😂🤷♀️
No* and what I meant by that was the movie didn’t say “NINO DESERVES TO DIE” right from the get go. They’re showing you both sides of the story. That’s why I compared it to Scarface. No one truly thought Tony Montana was the bad guy but.. he was. At the end of the day, nino was the bad guy yes. But I believe the movie did an excellent job and making you feel for both sides enough to make your own decision.
@@MJWITHOUTSPIDERMAN Okay I get what you were trying to say now I guess it was just mind blowing to me that you didn't seem to understand why people thought Nino deserved to die after literally seeing him toss someone off a bridge on top of everything else he was doing but everyone's entitled to there opinion
Another movie reaction I was looking forward too🙌🙌🙌🙌
36:18 not da dog racism😭😭😭😭
That white stuff in the small bottle is cocaine
Watch vampires in Brooklyn next it has Eddie Murphy and Angela Bassett in it
Classic.
MJ your reaction are fire it’s getting better everytime keep up the good work your channel is great!! ❤️🔥🔥
You not knowing that right where you said the movie isn't making Nino feel like the villain is right where everything takes a turn for the worst lol 😂😂
This movie and boys n the hood set the tone for the whole 90’s, that 80’s bubble gum neon colors Miami vice and huxtable world was coming to a close and shit got darker
One my favorites 🙏🏾🙏🏾
You not gon like how pookie end up😅😂
That shit was fucked up, the fact they wanted Martin Lawrence to play a stick up kid turned crack head
YES YOU DID NEW JACK CITY JUSTICE !!!!!! 💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🦾
Keep up the great work. I'm so proud of you girl 💜🤞🏼
The soundtrack for this on my regular rotation
You remember Allen Payne from a lot of movies and shows
11:46 RIP Bill Cobbs.😢
This is where baby got his name for his record company,cash money!
Great reaction, I was a horrible person during these times when New Jack City was made. I’ve changed my life around, now I mentor young people not to get into that lifestyle. I’m lucky I made it out alive, but yes I was heavy in that lifestyle for 26 years. I’m one of the rare people who actually did a lot and able to live a modest life, but it still bothers me today how many people I’ve hurt and destroyed neighborhoods. Hopefully god forgive me, I don’t know we’re see when my time is up. But yes I was the real deal back then
Someone reacting to New Jack City?? Now my subscription is personal, not business 😎
Keep it fresh, Fam! Another gem from 90s about the d*g game that nobody else is reacting to is Deep Cover (1992).
Deep Cover is my shit
Hell. Yeah. Deep Cover is spectacular

grew up watching this classic gangster movie Wesley performance in this is incredible as the bad guy I appreciate you mj for always giving us amazing reactions throughout the year 🎬💖🎊🔥🎞️🎟️💖
New Jack City feels like a horror movie because lots of people get killed. The way they killed Chris rock was crazy. It’s like they tortured him and cut him up and attached a bomb in it.
Blew his brains out *
With an offer like that, let’s get these likes up people!!! 😂😂😂
This movie is really good
Fear of a black hat
Power corrupts people.
It only fills a space where there is already an opening.
Plz watch the Last Dragon if you haven’t it’s one of my all time favorite movies
Plz like this cuz I think she’ll like it
IN TOO DEEP PLEASE
Lol watching you react to this shows you grew up in a great environment. And that's not a bad thing😂😂😂
The New Jack in New Jack City refers to the "New Jack Swing"....it was a genre of music like Neo Soul......Artists like SWV....Guy (who was performing at the club)....Today.....Christopher Williams...etc....was part of the New Jack Swimg sound.....hopefully that helps
Classic movie.
I hope you do enjoy your reaction to this movie because it's a good movie
R.i.p Bill Cobbs❤❤❤
