no i don't think they'll be doing anymore cutting unless they plan on turning it into a pg-13 rated movie. what we saw seemed to be the final print. oh and i think that this one may go down in history always being mentioned in the same breath as scareface, godfather, etc.

In fact, Bumpy literally died in Frank Lucas' arms.

Everytime I watch Hoodlum, I get into it. That movie was hardcore. |

Whoa, I thought the trailer was real intense, you could feel that the movie had greatness written all over it. I can't wait to see this.

I just read this article on Frank Lucas. That dude was for real.
The Return of Superfly
Quote:
It couldn't have been any other way, Lucas insists, after the Ku Klux Klan came to the shack where he grew up and killed his cousin. "I couldn't have been more than 6. We were living back in the woods near a little place they call La Grange, North Carolina. These five white guys come up to the house one morning, big rednecks . . . they're yelling, 'Obadiah . . . Obadiah Jones . . . come out. Come out, you ****** . . .' They said he was looking at a white girl walking down the street. 'Reckless eyeballing,' they call it down there.
"Obadiah was like 12 or 13, and he come out the door, all sleepy and stuff. 'You been looking at somebody's daughter. We're going to fix you,' they said. They took ropes on each hand, pulled them tight in opposite directions. Then they shoved a shotgun in Obadiah's mouth and pulled the trigger."
