Mack, The (DVD)

Package showed up on time and it was exactly what I wanted and ordered...It didn't take long to ship...I would recommend this company to anyone looking for classic movies you can't go wrong with this company...Extremely satisfied

This Is A Very Bad DVD AND IS NOT GOOD AS LISTED! On the contrary, the seller sold a defective DVD. While the DVD is crystal clean and free of scratches, the movie started to play 20-minutes already into the scenes and not the beginning. Finally, the movie systematically froze throughout the attempt watching and eventually started skipping and ended at once. The customer seeks a total refund because the seller misrepresented a material fact regarding the DVD's movie.

The Mack is a great Movie 🎥.

Its The Mack… nuff said!

70s Movies are the best

This movie is based on Oakland California History of pimping and the legends it represented.

I had not seen this movie in years!

This movie actually started the players ball movement which in some cities is still celebrated annually. Basically the hero Max Julien (Goldie) gets into a lifestyle he thinks is the only way to make it when you are from the hood, and at the end he goes off into a lifestyle most likely more positiive. Richard Pryor is among some of the black actors who were famous in the 70's acting in this movie. There is a message here, more than just another "blaxploitation movie". Definitely check out the extras, when the actors and director talk while the movie is showing, they give very interesting insights about making the movie and where people had their mindsets at the time. Max Julien is a very interesting man.

I have been watching this movie since I was a very young boy. While there are many funny parts to this movie there are some very sharp undertones. My favorite segment is when Goldie is thinking back to his Preacher Father, giving a sermon. Goldie mentions in the film that his Father was killed in Alabama.The Sunday Text was the Prodigal Son. The Man is speaking on how the Boy is going into a mean world but he didn't know where he was going: Going to a world of liars, of Pimps, Prostitutes, Drug Dealers, Gamblers, Dope Smokers, etc...but he didn't know where he was going. The Preacher said that if only some of us would stop and think about where we are headed, we'd be alright.In the end he says of the Prodigal Son: And I can see this young man as he says: 'I believe I'll head on home.' This part touches my soul and I watch it everytime I am going home to see my family. See, this movie is about black survival and took alot to even be completed.This is one of the most authentic tales if not the most of it's genre. What ghetto has no humor? There are other things; like the struggle between Goldie and his Panther-Like Brother; The Haters and of course the flat out original lines like the ones from the the Barber Shop scene which ends off with Dude saying: 'I had a shooby-dooby for you last night' I don't know what a shooby-dooby is but I sure want one. Laugh all you will but make no mistake, this movie is pure heart and pure genius.

I am really torn reviewing the Mack. As an author of a book dealing with Stereotypes, I see many that have contributed to the detriment of Black people as a whole. Some stereotypes may seem cool, but do you really want to be known for self-destructive behavior? Look at what happened to Goldie's Mom. All of the fame and fortune that he amassed was all for naught. I must admit, I was mesmerized by the coolness of Goldie and Slick(Richard Pryor). The dialogue between the two has to go down as the most memorable in Black film making. This was no doubt due to the Ward Brothers making sure Oak-Town was represented to the full. I am anxious to hear what Dr. Todd Boyd has to say on the Mack. He should do a whole book on the Mack.

Plain Talk - Volume 1

First of all, if you haven't seen The Mack yet and don't own a million copies (videos, taped off cable whatever) either you're too young, or something is a matter with you... this is just one of THOSE films... and it is the epitome of everything cool and funky about the '70s... Hey its a film about Mackin', right ? But what gets this version worth having is the commentary, both by Julien, the Director and other people involved... apparenty the story behind the story is almost as interesting as the film... Its hard to believe that the film was pretty much based on a true story and amazing to hear the true story of Fred Ward - - the Mack and drug kingpin of the West Coast who acted in the film AND provided security... but was shot in the back of the head after filming... with the finger pointed according to SOME people to Huey Newtown and the Black Panthers (who certain cast members allege acted more like gangsters than the gangsters.) And then there's the story of some of Richard Pryor's bizarre behaviour.As many times as I've seen the film, many of the scenes get better and better, and with the added commentary I can now see them in a separate way.Max Julien is a great storyteller - - The Mack is - - well, THE MOVIE ! ! !
