RIP Robert Judd (Legba) RIP Joe Seneca (Willie Brown) Joe Morton does an amazing job as Legba's assistant, too.

They couldn't have found a better actor to play the devil. This guy is perfect

"Ain't nothin' ever as good as we want it to be!" Damn, that's some truth right there.

I can't even remember how many times I've seen this clip but somehow it gets better each time. What I realize now is that Lucifer wasn't there for Willie... He came for the "real smart boy" as there was really nothing more that Willie had to offer. The boy on the other hand was a fresh new soul. The man who played Lucifer was masterful!

The gentleman that played Legba should have won a Oscar for this.

One of the best devil portrayals out there. Titanic rage and greed hidden behind a big, cheery, smile.

Robert Judd played Legba to perfection. You can just feel the menace oozing out as he walks up. This is one of those times in cinema when a small part in a movie, expertly done, makes a huge difference. Not so fun fact, Robert Judd died in January of 1986, two months before the premier of Crossroads.

4 words you would never-ever want to hear from the devil.............." I already got you ".............

Ralph Macchio was always playing somebody's apprentice back in the day..

Best real interpretation of Lucifer EVER that whole movie is still the most soulful and powerful movies that will EVER exist

greatest trick the devil ever pulled off was getting everybody to believe he didn't exist.

The way the atmosphere changes when Scratch appears is a masterpiece.

This scene is so scary if you understand it. The first two were demons. They can take on human form.

Robert Judd was on screen for probably 15 minutes or less, yet his performance was so incredibly dominant. Sinister is the word that comes to mind. R.I.P., Sir, what a shame that you never got the chance to appreciate how over the years we've come to love your legendary performance.

This layed back devil is scarier than any fire breathing version portrayed in other movies .

Legba is the Haitian name for Elegua, (the Yoruba west African) God of the crossroads. A trickster, Christians told them he was the devil, so they syncretized him with the devil and kept worshiping him anyway. And then hundreds of years after black slaves were brought to the south, this story emerges, about a black musician meeting with the devil at the crossroads. Amazing how certain aspects of cultures survive.

Crossroads hands down is the greatest blues movie of all-time

Absolutely love the way Scratch comes out of nowhere. Eugene has to shoulder things and there's no certain outcome....just a great depiction of Lucifer.

"Guess there aint much hope at all for Willie Brown." Bone chillin!

This scene still sends CHILLS down my spine DECADES later .

This movie didn’t get enough credit. One of my favorites!

The gentleman who played the devil is probably my all-time favorite portrayal ever. The subtle undertones of rage and cruelty is hard for satan to mask for too long. Awesome!

I saw this when I was a kid and I found the devil in this creepy in a real subtle way. I think it's my favorite portrayal. Most movies do the devil over the top, a more subdue version is much more scary.

After all these years, I realize now the "devil" and the "deal" is representative of record producers and promoter types. You sign on the line and "The Man" gotchyu. Then you get shelved for the next hot act, while they own the rights to your music, aka your soul.. A promise of fame, and riches. But the only pay you get is someone saying "he's good" and the only fame you get is an article in the paper, maybe once or twice. I love this movie. It inspired me soo much, once upon a time. I still can't get enough.

The actor playing legpa plays this role brilliantly and is super underrated for this performance... amazing psychology

The unmistakable sound of Ry Cooder's guitar. Love it.

I've always loved (Legba/Scratch) Robert Judd's acting and role in this movie, he was perfect. His big smile and hollow unchanging eyes literally staring into your soul as prey. The subtle eerie facial expression changes. Haunting!

I love how when Willie informs him 'the deal is off', Scratch is half way through pulling out the contract to inform him of the contrary lol

I still have Crossroads on VHS! Still a great movie.

Such an amazing performance. If Hollywood remakes this, we riot.

The way that his demeanor switched from menacing 2 rage back 2 almost benevolence is smooth as hell. THAT GRIN!!!!!

"You get me." "Oh, I already got you." Brilliant.

"Ain't nothin' ever the way we want it- but that ain't no reason to break a DEAL!"

I don't understand how there could be 1.4k dislikes in my opinion this is one of the all time great movie's

Put on the full armor of God ...

In my opinion, this is the greatest depiction of Lucifer ever put on film...

*YOU GOT WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GET BLUESMAN!!* *AIN'T NOTHING EVER AS GOOD AS WE WANT IT TO BE!!* _(...that's the hardest thing a person must realize while growing up)_

As a guitar player for 30 years this is still my favorite movie of all time . When I was a much younger man it took me over a month to get the final scene down note for note . I'm a huge fan of Vai and Cooter . Just a great movie and inspiration. Thanks for posting .

"I'm just calling his bluff", that's the funny thing, the Devil never bluffs.

One of the best interpretations of the devil in cinema

Did you notice how the background sound effects changed when Legba (Scratch) walked into the scene? kinda eery. Love this movie!!!!

Ralph macchio is a really underrated actor . He's really talented doesn't get enough respect in the industry I love all his movies. He should make more movies

“I already got you” that line is hilarious lmao

I like the background wind howl and growling of the earth like its open and ready for souls

The actor who played Legba (Robert Judd) was excellent and scary. I read the wikipedia and the actor Robert Judd was suffering from stomach cancer during filming. Takes a special person to be fighting cancer and still show up and deliver his performance without no one knowing what hell he is going though. RIP. Mr. Judd and Mr. Seneca

Me and friend of mine watched this movie back in the early 90's. we're both guitar players and aspiring songwriters. and we were so inspired by "Crossroads" that we wrote a song kind of similar to the plot of the movie. it it took us two days. On the 2nd night we were drinking Jack Daniels and after numerous frustrating recordings to get it right. We walked to the Graveyard which was not to far from my house in a misting rain. Our other friend who was also the lead singer of the band died in a car wreck and was buried there. we finished the bottle, and then left the picks we used to write the song. Under his tombstone, and walked home. Its still to this day. one of the best songs we've ever wrote together. wish we could have done something with it. RIP Pual.

One of my favorite movies. Very underrated. Awesome soundtrack

Always, always! When i see this clip - i'm ending up watching the whole movie all over again! And i never regret it!

The devil comes as the most beautiful thing you had ever beheld. Remember that.... and in the words of one of the greatest guitar players who ever existed, just step back and let the angels do it. Much love, God bless.

Willy looks what I expect Moses looked like. Man, that dude that played devil ... on point.

"I already got you!" Crossroads was a very underrated film. Hadn't watched this movie in probably 25 years or so but I remember every frame.

"If you playin it right, he's gonna come around." He was definitely playing it right, I love that sequence.

"Jack Butler's gonna like you" (Classic!!)

“Ain’t nothing ever as good as we want it to be.” Best life lesson I ever learned.

This should got an oscar

Love this film my dad was a blues player and called William . I used to call him willie brown ❤️

this movie is something else, i love blues so much and there is plenty of blues on this movie, the old man is for sure gifted, these movies are a rare germ, watched the full movie in Botswana

"I already got you."- Chills! I was expecting his eyes to change and fangs to pop. Robert Judd unfortunately died before Crossroads was realeased

The lick he plays is absolutely chilling. Its easy to be distracted by what happens after but it's undoubtedly the best underlying part of the scene.

One of my favorite scenes from any movie, it’s an incredible build up to the climactic duel scenic. Such a tragedy that Robert Judd, who OWNS this scene, passed away before the movie was even released.

I had this movie on VHS. This and the "barn scene" were always worth a rewind

His change from anger to calm when he says “ but that ain’t no reason to break a deal “ with that smile .The first I saw that at 10 years old I really got scared the acting was so good

This is one of my absolute favorite movies. Everyone is great and Steve Vai crushes it as The Devil’s guitarist. I always look for this movie but whenever I see “Crossroads” on the guide it’s always the stupid Brittany Spears movie!

Life is a matter of choices down at the crossroads

That cheeky grin the devil has... Man.

Nov. 16, 2019----Robert Judd, the guy who plays Scratch....man, he had that part NAILED! And no doubt this is how the devil would look like, full of "smiles" and so scary that a great white shark would flee in fear.

Um filme sobre o melhor estilo musical do mundo, chamado blues.

Puffy as an old man "I already got you"

Even as a kid Scratch creeped me out.

I love this movie. I love this part. This when it gets real good. A solid fuckin 10 here. One of my favorite movies

There's been ALOT of epic Satan/Devil performances. BUT only a few were SPECIAL. Robert Judd nails it & is right there with Viggo Mortensen~TheProphecy. ~~Constantine's peter stormare did a good job with an overly overt Satan. Stormare is one of my fav actors.. He played an amazing Ernst Röhm in a Nazi movie.. ~~RichMarzeni said it beautifully " The subtle undertones of rage and cruelty is hard for satan to mask for too long" And Robert Judd showed that. You can see his malice and darkness along with greed & wit.. bravo!

I absolutely love this movie, Ralph and the cast did a great job

Loved this movie it was the last movie I ever watched with my mother before she passed, thanks for posting!!!

I was 13 when I saw this movie the first time. Robert Judd was so damn good that my undeveloped imagination immediately replaced the horns &pitchfork with a smooth takin, cool walkin, Mississippi blues man...lol...At least 100 viewings and 30years later, he still scares the shit out of me RESPECT!

Such a charming movie.

Best scene ever, in a movie about selling your soul to the devil.

When you're at a Crossroads in your life go right and you can never go wrong

Its Believed the blues man Robert Johnson, meet the devil at the cross roads and it was there he sold his souls to the devil.. They say the devil took Roberts guitar and "tuned" it and when he gave it back to Robert he had the ability to play like no other man had ever played before.

Fantastic choice of actors in this film.

Dude playing the Devil smooth as Hell

"The Old Man is down the road" - CCR

Ralph Machio has been reprising his old characters. This is one Id actually love to see. Lightning makes a bet, not really believing in anything, not taking it seriously. He wins and beats the devil at a young age. He realizes later on it is in fact all real, and he spends the rest of his life hounded by the devil. Now He’s middle aged, and realized how close he cane to eternal damnation. He becomes a demon fighter, kind of like Constantine, and the old man that played the devil, reprises his role, via the really good deep fake and cgi they have now days. Steve Vai could also come back having fought hard to get a 2nd chance. Ralph’s character wrote a book late 90s, and deemed a quack, will have to step up and save the world this time.

Hands down, THE best depiction of The Devil in modern film history. Robert Judd, the actor portraying the Devil in this scene, passed away just prior to the release of this movie in 1986. His exact age was unknown, but best guess was he was either 59, or 60.

Legba?! Where you been at slick?! He done changed his name to Scratch!! 😂😂😂😂

Robert Judd crushes it in this scene. RIP...

Growing up this was one movie my father and I could watch together ❤

When I was about 10 years old my grandma's brother Bill and I were sitting in the dinning room waiting for dinner. He picked up his guitar and said "let me show you something" and he played. Not songs just played. I listened to that and didn't say a word. But he could tell I liked it. Years later my mom gave me a folk guitar and a cord progression chart and I learned the fingerings and cord progressions. I didn't know how to play songs like House of the rising sun, or any of the others that my friends would play. So I was embarrassed, but when I played they never said anything so I thought I wasn't any good. I didn't know they couldn't just play music, they had to learn a song. I didn't know how good I was . I got in a car wreck when I was 26, had a stroke while I was in the hospital and someone stole my guitar. I'm 65 now, carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis, with some arthritis thrown in for good measure. But I still hear the music and I play in my head all the time. Devil be Damned!

Still one of the greatest guitar movies of all time.

This movie is an all time classic. Watched it many times, and now my children are of an age to appreciate it.

I love this movie

Watched many times , Greatest movie ever for Blues. Thumbs up liked for you.

Definitely the most underrated movie of all time. I saw it about 40 years back...and it was an education for me. This crossroads scene still haunts me..🎼🎵🎶🎸

One of the best scenes ever filmed.

3:06 “ Why on earth would I wanna do that “ 😂

Very, very good acting. RIP both of these greats 👍

Moral of the story, Never sell your soul

Good guitar player, name a Jack Butler! Love that!

I'd forgotten about this movie. What a great scene.

Menacing yet subtle portrayal of old scratch. Love this movie!
