Here is a 16mm feature print of the LA gang classic Colors. Directed by Dennis Hopper it was one of the first major films to feature gangs and rap (Ice-T) shot in a gritty realistic way. Not a TV print, this came from a former hire library and does show some wear, see images and description above, but it looks great on screen and runs very nicely. Very hard to find on 16mmSolid sound.Comes on two reels. Runs through nicely on my Bell & Howell 1568. Print is on three reels.
FROM IMDB:Before you had BOYS N THE HOOD or MENACE II SOCIETY, there was COLORS. This movie is the original article in urban-street dramas that spawned many followers in the 90\'s. But like those films it is an intense, powerful movie that takes you to the streets in an extremely realistic way. The caption on the VHS cover says something like two gangs at war(Bloods & Crips)with the police caught in between. Well, that is pretty misleading. Although most films like this would stick with the gang war as the main focus, COLORS has many different plot levels that all come together very nicely. Sean Penn & Robert Duvall are right on the mark as the two officers on the beat. The film ultimately succeeds through its perspectives, giving points of view from all sides and fully expresses the harsh reality that everyone involved faces. When the film first came out, it was bashed for its extreme violence and portrayal of gang members. Well, I definitely think Dennis Hopper did an excellent job and I feel that violence is crucial in a film like this to add to its strong sense of reality which some people may not be too familiar with.
