Rating:  - THIS NEEDS TO BE ON DVD!!!
I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but I rememember enjoying it though. I give it 5 stars for the simple fact that it has Run DMC and the Beastie Boys in it!
However the main purpose of this review is to hope that somebody from the studio, that owns the right to this film, would take notice and release it on DVD. I don't even own a VCR anymore. I REALLY WANT THIS MOVIE IN MY COLLECTION ON DVD!!!
Rating:  - Okay Movie But Worthy Hip Hop History Piece
Spike Lee turned down this script.... That says it all. But I still wish it would be released on DVD. I think it's still a Hip Hop historical piece from that era. Shame it only grossed less than a million. Probably cost a million to produce though. They should have promoted this a little bit more. I recall reading about significant delays with this movie being released and problems on the set with Rick Rubin. It should have been a better movie with the caliber of rap stars they had. But by 1988 ... Read More
Rating:  - Crazy Stupid Fun
YO! So this movie might not have all the intellectual smarts of most crime movies, but it's not supposed to. This movie is just a fun, hip-hop flick. DMC is ill in this movie ("it's empty...like your future") I'm saying, it not the best acting, or even story, but if you take it for what it was, a bunch of young guys making the movie that they wanted to make, and having fun, you can enjoy it. Plus the fact that it has 2 dope performances by RUN DMC, a good lill bit of Slick Rick, and those zany ... Read More
Rating: - The originator
This is a pretty bad movie, the acting is decent, at best. The plot is thin, the budget looked to be about nill. But, there is something about "Tougher Then Leather" maybe it was because I grew up lovin' Run-DMC, I'm not sure. This movie does deserve a lot of credit though. It's the first movie I remember seeing, that had tons of cameos from rappers, and wasn't a movie about rapping. This came out way before Who's The Man or any of the newer flicks that have rappers in them, just to sell tickets. ... Read More
Rating: - Run D Other Way!
I usually don't agree with Leonard Maltin, but he got it right with the witty line that I used to title this review.
Run DMC sold out big time with this one. The loveable heroes of rap of the 80s who kept rap from dying out in 1983 come off as crude gangsters who go on a revenge binge after the killing of their roadie Runny Ray. Blood and guts galore, foreshadowing the gagster rappers.
Low-grade garbage indeed. This video is great on a cold day when your fireplace is low. The DVD is also excellent ... Read More
