Been years, but I remember it being really good. Remember when Lisa Bonet left The Cosby Show to star in AngelHeart?

I still think Faster Pussycat Kill Kill is a contender for top film. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUeX...

It’s a rough one. Not the kind you want to watch a lot.

that this never became a franchise, like james bond or fast & furious, remains a travesty and a perennial stain on hollywood.

I agree 100%. Easy & Mouse should've been at least a 3 movie duo

i cant think of a better cast set of characters. who even plays them today? donald glover &&&& ??? i wanna say brian tyree henry but he seems a bit not-small-enough to play mouse. or maybe he could play easy? 🤔

Gambino could pull off easy, but no one can play mouse after Don. I cant imagine any other actor as his character.

see, thats exactly my thought... no one else has the actual grit to play mouse but don. everyone i think of is too "hollywood pretty" to play him correctly. maybe im missing someone.

bruh jenifer @bruhjenifer.bsky.social

he definitely gotta have a hood edge but it gotta come off sincere. Don gave the role a naive innocence that's brilliant. when easy talk about mouse having a history of being trigger happy its the perfect setup for a prequel. they should've made: devil >> prequel to devil >> sequel to devil

always outnumbered, always outgunned was okay. it couldve used a bigger production budget, but, overall, i liked it.

And the casting was perfect. Even two or three more films would’ve been amazing. Between this and One False Move, I’m baffled how Carl Franklin ended up mostly working in TV. (No disrespect to his work there.)

there was 3 seasons of Hap & Leonard (based on joe lansdale's detective novels) which was "aight", but it featured michael k. williams ...and what show was never made better by his presence?
