Description
For nearly a decade, urban marketing has been a key element in the multi-billion dollar record business, with street teams as the heart and soul of hip hop promotion. While some perceive them as hired litterbugs, there's a lot more to the job than just handing out flyers and posters. In an effort to shine light on the importance of these street soldiers, independent filmmaker Anthony Quinn takes an in-depth look into this subculture with his gritty documentary, "King of the Streets."

5 out of 5 stars evidence of alien invasion:.......2005-04-12

no one could have actually made this movie. i refuse to believe it exists. no one on earth would consciously write this script-- not even on accident. i mean i've watched as much of this movie as i can but i refuse to believe its real. i stole my vhs copy from blockbuster's dumpster--i think it was planted by aliens. "i must defeat great evil." "is great evil over there?" I'm serious, this movie goes beyond stupidity, into realms even genius can t touch.

Is it worth watching? well, it is certainly mind boggling; there's tons of gratuitous nudity; plenty of nice 80s style car explosions (did every one in the 80s drive around with napalm and dynamite in the back seat? -- must've been the pinto influence) and violence, yeah how do i even describe the fight sequences? they're definitely very,, sequential. i mean punch, block counter punch, it all seems to be there, even when a direct hit misses by about 40 feet, in slow motion, just so you won't miss how bad it is.

but that doesnt begin to really describe what this movie is all about: its an alien prince (from another planet mind you) who comes to earth a planet so far away that the earth is as small as,, a really huge moon in its sky. the alien (who names himself buddy) comes here to defeat a great evil (any evil, he's not real picky) so he'll feel secure enough in his manhood to rule his father's empire. And he's got psychic powers. and a bum builds him this insanely cool car. and theres lots of naked chicks involved. i mean ALOT of naked chicks. so alien boy starts a gang. and a community library--with the help of his newly reformed latino rapist friends. and starts fight ing great evil, all with the eloquence of rain man. and the deep philosophies of a retarded version of buddha; and some kung fu skills he picks up along the way. and some really big hanguns. and his new girlfriend and; and he helps peole overcome their child hood traumas and did i mention he fights great evil? who turns out to be mister one, who is a gang lord/ pimp/ rapist/ drug dealer. and the cops are corrupt; and it takes about 50 bad guys in about 32 classic hot rod cars to pick up a $500 protection payment but if you break a piece of wood and yell "NO MORE!!!!" really loud in slow motion they'll all be your friends and,,i cant even go on...

if you thought escape from new york was fun.
this is like that but without making any sense
if you admire the sci-fi blaxploitation of brother from another planet.
this is far more ridiculous
if you love watching a retarded attempt at moral preaching. by a director who's apparently lost all moral logic
this is , well this is ridiculous, beyond all sanity.

its like some really deep down racist guy set out to make a movie about racial unity and how nice it would be if we could just help our dumb minority friends and make them stop being evil

and there's even some break dancing in the name of literacy

and nothing pisses off great evil like the words "be temperate" spray painted on a wall somewhere.

5 out of 5 stars Great Documentary!!.......2003-01-30

Anthony Quinn does a superb job in this very well made documentary.It's highly recommended!!

5 out of 5 stars "Are you great evil?" "Yeah, I'm the greatest".......2002-01-24

This movie involves the exploits of an Alien Warrior who must fight and destroy great evil. Apparently missing the point of this excersize, he opts for a pimp and a bunch of gang members. Of course he defeats them, but not before starting a library program for inner city youth, and saving the hearts of all. The high point of the movie comes when he asks the pimp "Are you great evil?", and he responds "Yeah, I'm the greatest." With lines like that, you can't lose...

4 out of 5 stars Top 100 comedy spoofs.......2000-03-12

Side splittingly funny in its deadly earnestness, it is Plan 9 from Outer Space meets Brother from Another Planet. Must have been one of Laurence Fishburne's earliest efforts. I laughed so hard I almost wet myself. Director Ed Hunt is Ed Wood reincarnated.

1 out of 5 stars The video lies when it says "Fishburne" is in this film.......1999-06-15

Neither Lawrence Fishburne, nor any other Fishburne is actually in this film. The lead black actor is named Reggie De Morton. The film was originally released in the late 1980s as "Alien Warrior" with the correct actors listed on the video jacket, but then when it was re-released in the mid 1990s the distributors put a picture of Reggie De Morton on the cover along with catch phrases which hinted that Lawrence Fishburne was a part of the film. It seems they figured that all black people looked alike, and apparently Amazon.Com has fallen for the con so much so that they now spread this false advertisement as well.
