Top review. Pretty odd movie with a highlight or two. This movie was really weird to me. I don't review movies but I just had to add a few things. The rant from the bartender about the toe was pretty good and wow Steve Guttenberg as the bad guy was pretty funny to me as well.
I guess I could see the lead being in something else and doing ok but I won't be watching this ever again. Details Edit. Release date December 1, United States. United Kingdom. Saints and Savages. Technical specs Edit. Runtime 1 hour 50 minutes. Related news. Charles Napier Mayor as Mayor.

The gang doesn't like this so they go to the store and rough him up. Soon, John Bookman comes to town to set the wrong things right. With the help of Laurie and his old friend Jake, they attempt to take back the streets and show the new breed of gang members what the true originals can do.
The original bad boys are stepping up in '96! Action Crime Drama Thriller. Rated R for non-stop violence and pervasive strong language. Did you know Edit. Trivia Larry Cohen stated how he enjoyed filming and how cooperative the real gang members in the film were "who came every day to work. They were always on time.
They did everything they were asked to do. You know, if you wanted to shoot them and have them fall down, they did falls.
They did anything you asked, and they were very friendly to me. They used to come to my trailer and bring me Famous Amos cookies, things like that.
They did their best to ingratiate themselves. I was not concerned with the ones we hired, but with the ones that didn't get hired. I thought, "Well, now one of the ones that didn't get hired might just drive by one day with a machine gun or something, and polish us all off in one afternoon.
Everything was fine there for the entire shoot of the picture, and they were all very cooperative and pleasant. And then it was all over, and we left. And it was kind of sad, because while we were there they all had jobs, and they had some place to go every day, and they had some focus and some reason for being.
Then when we left, we kind of just abandoned everybody. And there's nothing we could do about it. We couldn't take them back to Hollywood. That's where they lived, so there's nothing we could do". Goofs When John and Jake do a drive-by at the steel mill in an attempt to start the gang war, several fires in barrels are burning.
When they make their second pass, the smoke and fire can be seen going backwards, back into the barrels. Quotes John Bookman : Big talk coming from a faggot who don't even know what sex his mother is.
Connections Featured in Baadasssss Cinema User reviews 24 Review. Top review. A sense of place - recommended for town planners and architects. This movie is correctly graded as a B picture. And yet it is more: an honest hommage to a real, existing town in the throes of death. Before I picked up Original Gangstas as a cheap video cassette, I did not know that the town of Gary existed.
I didn't even know a town like Gary could exist this proves once more: maybe we Europeans are kind of naive in the ways we evaluate the US's wealth and power and its effects. Now I know better. Both use a style that wants to "tell a city". With the title credits the town is introduced to the viewers, with aereal footage, ordinary street scenes and a voice-over that tells something about the history of the town and a few selected buildings the bakery, the cinema etc.
It is really educational. Very good location shooting gives a vivid impression of the specific urban wasteland. Gary becomes a real place.
