Customer Reviews

A must see for all "old school" fans!
This B movie is a classic. You'll see many of your favorite groups when they just began in the business...Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Fat Boys and Slick Rick. Also interesting is the difference between what rap was like back then as compared to now. A must have to all collectors or fans of the legendary group Run DMC.

real fun but not to be taken seriously......
This RUN-DMC biopic is a real treat to watch. The story is entertaining and the musical guests (Slick Rick, Beastie Boys) are truely memorable. It is important, however, not to take this movie too seriously. Nearly half of the characters aren't portrayed by proffesionally trained actors, only rappers who pull it off pretty well. The producers in this movie are protrayed by the def jam duo Rick Rubin and Russel Simmons, who are pretty good actors. But if you are expecting oscar performances, remember these guys aren't movie stars, but friends having a good time hoping to promote their artists. Definitely worth seeing!

Stick To Their Records
In my opinion, RUN DMC is the best rap group ever. This movie, however, is a poor witness to their talent. Run, DMC (Darryl Mac) and Jammaster Jay play detectives and vigilantes in the muddled plotline. Around the time this movie was released, the RUN DMC's popularity was beginning to decline. Unfortunately, this movie helped that along.
