So much love and respect for this movie. For the actors, producers, directors, creators, and most especially for the OG Lords... The Z-Boys who lived, breathed and dominated Dog Town and the epic era they launched. They are often emulated - but could never possibly be duplicated. #MadRespect

I really miss Heath. Such a great fun actor.

The fact that the actors learned to actually skate pools is something to respect...

Seeing jay laughing and smiling with his old boys at the dog bowl really hit me in the feels R.I.P Jay Adams

Heath Ledger did an amazing job with his portrayal of Skip. RIP.

This movie was so well done. Congratulations to everyone involved. You made a classic skate movie that is going to live on forever.

It's wierd, my dad, who grew up skateboarding in the 70s felt nostalgic when we went to theatres and saw this. Now I feel nostalgic watching this thinking of all my friends and how we used to just skate until the lights at the park turned off. The subtle heat coming from the concrete filling the cool air. The smell of weed and the laughter. Always trying to one up each other but never putting each other down. I miss those times and those people. Life has become very lonely. That was back in the early/mid 2000s.

They did such a great job on this movie . its the most authentic movie I've ever seen where you really feel like your there in the 70s

Tried not choke up when Jay and Biniak saw each other at the end, RIP to both!!

RIP Jay Adams and Heath Ledger

This is a great movie. I grew up in So Cal in the 70s and skateboarding exploded around 75. The clothes, hair and everything were pretty damn accurate. Looks like they had a pretty good budget for this movie. Well done.

I love this! Born in 1960, lived in LA my whole life, surf/skate culture! What a masterpiece! Congratulations to everyone!

Just the fact that these 3 young actors learned to skate at the Alva/Peralta/Adams level is MIND BLOWING, & you do not get more of a realistic portrayal of the Z-boys/Dogtown era than this. As another commenter quoted #MadRespect

I was very lucky to have grown up in that era of skating and surfing in So. Cal. Even tho me and my friends were not part of Dog Town we skated alot of the same spots as those guys. The Fruit Bowl stands out as well as the school yard banks in Glendale. Times were good back then.

Tears running down my face the whole time... grew up during this time... so many memories

Fuck I remember finding this movie in my dad's hard drive and was like, this seems interesting and turned out to be my favourite movie based or real life events, no joke

I remember watching this movie in the theater. And it played a number on me. I actually found a fond interest in skateboarding. I loved cruising on my board, feeling calm, happy, free and alive. Skating was a great stress reliever.

Being taught to skate by the great Tony Alva, Most of the skaters I know would die for such and honor. Awesome video, really takes me back.

This was great!!!! KZfaq is waaay behind sending this to me but I’m glad they did. RIP Jay. Really glad he turned his life around and got to live a happy life.

The crazy part is so much of this movie was my childhood on the west coast - 30 years later the vibe isn’t exactly the same but it’s still there

this movie 100% changed my life

The true OG's who started it all. It's that simple and it's undeniable.

This movie raised me, I would see it almost every day as a kid and skate on old school skateboards trying to push myself to be better. I’m right know pursuing a career in surfing, I’m truly grateful to these amazing skaters and artists. Rest in peace Jay Adams.

Lords of dog Town is one of my favorite movies of all time. I still watch it a bunch. Kinda makes you feel like you were there with them.

i got my first board at 8 in the 70's thank you Z BOYS. when the movie came out i was stoked. it became my favorite movie

wow good choice of actors for the parts, they look similar

My favorite movie of all time, ever since I first saw it in 2007

The final sequence at the Dog Bowl choked me up. ❤️

My favorite movie of all time. So much nostalgia and meaning behind this film

One of my favorite movie thanks for posting

Lords Of Dogtown the z boys were the most badass skateboarders of all time.They were the real gods of skating. I still have my stacy peralta board ! Z BOYS !

I loved this movie growing up

Haven't seen the movie yet, but what an awesome documentary!! The Bones brigade and all these guys were my heroes as a kid in NZ, miles from the USA. I I have to say right here that Lance Mountain, I personally feel, is the most underrated skater/ talent ever. Love ya Lance!

Duuuudddeeee this is 1 of my top 3 movies ever!!!!

The movie was great. Brings back memories. I give the actors so much respect to learn how to skate and be good at it; hats off to these guys!!!

I love this director. She makes it as real as she can, no shortcuts. Thought it would be cool to turn a doc I was a part of into a feature film. It's all about the character and our doc kinda was. It was about skating all the pools after the firestorm in Oakland in 1991. It got best story award at xdance in saltlake. These real life stories are so moving. Well done with the character dramma

This is great, I really appreciate seeing all this. I saw some of the set at IB in 2004, did some skating also, 360's old school, in style. I started skating in 1976, started surfing 1982. Not much anymore due to the rest of a great life. Living great, keeping vital and virile, with care.

Its hilarious that Lance Mountain was portrayed here as a glorified cameraman when the dude is a Bones Brigade legend

Had this movie on PSP never got into it til years later when I watched the Z-Boys documentary, don’t skate but love the culture that is skateboarding. 👍🏽

All wickedly talented, all brought something new to skateboarding, but Jay was my favorite. R.I.P to that innovator, that incredible, iconic, wild spirit 😭

I've been skating for fun for over 20 years and those boys surpassed me at training camp. Mind you, I never had the Z boys training me. Imagine making this movie as a 20 year old. Mate. On top of the world. Huge fan of Emile's acting. Underrated film.

i didn’t think that i would like this movie as much as i did, gotta go onto my top 3 list for sure. i wasn’t even born in the 70s, yet somehow i felt like i was there. i just loved everything about it.

Im almost 76 now and that was one of my favourite flicks, probably because I surfed, roller skated, and always been a biker, great watching how they made the movie, I honestly thought at the time those were the real characters, well done, only us so called rebels know that world,

I've only actually bought maybe 10 movies total in my entire life. Not streamed. Actually PURCHASED. Lords of Dogtown was one of em. One of those movies that will forever be ageless...

This is just footage from the special features on the dvd. Catherine Hardwick did a great job bringing the ZBoys to the big screen. Gotta give props to Stacy Peralta for telling the story in his awesome documentary. I was just a “Val” skater back in the day but these guys were legends and their pictures from Skateboarder were all over my walls. Such inspiration! RIP Jay, Shogo, Biniak, Baby Paul, Chris Cahill.

Such a great time spent. A magical result from the focused vision of like -minded professionals. Is there anything better? The hard work, the dream and and the story mated with a creative force to make something that will stand for all time. Sign me up.

i remember being OBSESSED with that documentary in college. I was a skater who at least knew who Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta was... but had never heard of Jay Adams, and only VAGUELY knew who the z-boys were. So yeah, as a skater... it was like a serious history lesson. When I found out they were going to make a movie about the z-boys? I just wanted it to be done right, and use the documentary as a template. I was very impressed with the final result, especially Ledger's portrayal of skip.

The fact that all 3 actors were able to ride over the light is pretty crazy lol skating pools is scary af

This movie is such a classic, Catherine Hardwicke, in hindsight was a really special director, it's a shame how Hollywood treated her after the colossal success of Twilight.

"Geez man, i think we broke the piñata with that video...we can't even keep up with orders!!" 😂😂😂😂

that bowl session with Jay Adams...oh man,that´s just too much, we miss you Jay,,buaaaaahhh!!!(tears in my eyes)

the move was called a bert, Cadillac wheels were soft and sticky much more than today and the pool was called keyhole (later dog bowl).... Stacey went international...Tony went Hollywood...and Jay went island style (then prison)....2Barb moved down south and started hanging with us...we all defended our turf and could back it up with our surf-skate style...the Baldy pipeline was still top secret but I was riding it....it all came to an end the summer of 1980 (known as the best summer ever) before corporate capitalism took over that decade...what happened ? ... we all grew up....I still surf and skate south county.🏄🏻‍

God bless you for uploading this

This was the only movie I had for my PSP... watched this movie so many times , great fucking job!!🤟

Was a special time. I picked up skateboarding around 1976 when it became big.. Tony Alva was the man! I still have my Fibreflex Bowl rider with Trackers and road rider4s..

Lance mountain is a boss

I was so hyped when this movie was coming out. it gave me chills and made me feel like I wish I was there at the time. just watching this video gave me chills and happiness so many memories. by far the best movie to me personally I have ever watched

damn imagine how lucky the actors are tho, they'll be able to say that they were basically taught how to skate by Stacy Peralta and Tony Alva

"Our competitive days are over, now we can just be friends" That hit so hard

I loved both the documentary about the Dogtown and the Z-Boys and the movie. I just watched a documentary about some kids in Bor, Serbia called 'Kolos- BORba se isplati'. It's fascinating that this boys have adopted the American culture of skating! Great filmography, too!

One of my favorite movies from my youth that has AGED well. Not like the beach hahaha man I loved this movie and still do. 05 I was 19 years old and man loved trying to skate.

Hats off to the Art Department. WELL DONE!!!

Thanks for the upload!

Who can forget the transition from clay to urethane wheels in the 70s? My first fiberglass board had Cadillac de Kine wheels & Chicago trucks. No more wipe outs when hitting a pebble. LOL. Graphite lube on the ball bearings. Skating pools & 6 man catamarans down some steepass hills. What a time to be ALIVE! This movie is a beautiful time capsule of the surf & skate culture of the 70s. The soundtrack! The hair! The tans! The girls! The weed! The cinematography! The acting! (Everyone is pitch perfect, but Heath steals every scene he's in!) I LOVE THIS FILM! Gets me all teary-eyed every time I watch it. "Skip called me 'bro.' " "Skip called you 'bro?' "

seeing how much focus they were on the intricate details of the film makes sense on why the movie came out so good

This is hands down the best skate movie ever the z boys were the pioneers of skateboarding. The movie captures their life in their early teens extremely well and what they were like. I love this movie!! If you’re a skater please watch the lords of dog town!!

so good. what an epic time to have been alive, and what an amazingly raw movie. respect!!!

Such a magical time. I wasn't out in CA yet, but I'm glad I was around for it.

I was really surprised to find out that the boy who played Jay was the kid in ‘the girl next door.’

Just got in from ripping and catch this on my recommended feed, very chill🤙🏼😎

Holy shit I could watch this all day, soo fucking interesting ❤ I knew it was actually them boarding, it had to be!!! Maaaan I had no clue actually how much work and effort they truly put into this movie! By far one of my favorite movies of all time, absolutely loved it back in 05 when I first watched it! Upon rewatching it the other day with my brother we contemplated showing this our niece who is 13 and has taken up skateboarding as well... I was that old when I saw it, man how flies 😶 Freaking flawless film 🙌🏻

Its crazy how much goes into movies. How many movies their are. How many good and bad ones their are. How much harder they are than music and just wow . Dope. Love this movie changed me as a kid and i dont even skate only skated for like a year 😂

I'm 40 from jersey and I watch this movie at the beginning of every summer just to get ready for some good Ole mayhem lol

very very cool movie and a fantastic soundtrack of the best popular hard rock songs of the period!

this movie was super impactful to me for my first year skating.

I love Skip's way of speaking, the syntax and cadence is kind of poetic.

So freaking awesome! Loved it all...

LOVED THAT FILM !

One of my favorite movies

I love your movie,I I can see your movie every day my girl got mad cuz I’ll see ur movie like 10 times a day

Such a good documentary of a documentary

i lived in San Pedro, Calif. and i would come home at night and watch the film production's Second unit shoot scenes a few blocks from my place.

I just watched it on my 42nd B day. 1981. My brother had an alva board from the 86-88ish. Wish i kept it

Rewatching this cause it's that good.

If you think about it, this is was a multi-month private session skating 101 that guaranteed the actors to get good enough to skate bowls and even learn basic surfing to catching actual unbroken waves from pioneers of modern skating, without anyone around to make fun of them with any hassling or shit-talk. And the crazy part is, they got paid for it. Cmon man, these guys get to take away the skill of skating bowls for the rest of their lives and getting an popular acting gig that's on their resume for the rest of their lives. The dream

I know this term gets overused, but this movie is truly underrated

had this movie on my PSP, BANGER

This is the only movie I have watched over and over ,, I was 18 in 78 🇦🇺 had the chance to live USA

This had to be the greatest movie to be a part of.

Thanks, very cool!

Thank you!

Great movie great time got my first skateboard when I was about 12 it was a skinny plastic yellow took a while to get the hang of it then surf&skate opened bought several boards we skated everywhere pools ramps there was a place we called the key it was a concrete ditch shaped like a key there was one kid he would get going so fast and olly over trash cans we all drove vws lol we surfed a place called half moon bay this movie brings back a lot of memories thank you for sharing your video its relaxing to sit back and watch something real and forget about everything that's going on it was a great time to be a kid

Watching this smokin bowls in my car and I had a realization about halfway through when they were talking about learning to skate for the movie, specifically “don’t be so stiff” As a car guy and a skater it made me connect the looseness to springs. Stiff springs transfer more weight, it’s all physics and works the same anyway. Next time I skate I’ll definitely keep the is one in my mind to see if it makes a difference.

I grew up idolizing these guys so cool

What is it with all the people here having this film on there PSP’s when they were younger???😂 i got this on DVD when it came out after seeing it advertised in Sidewalk magazine about 15 years ago, great fuckin film👌

Bellissimo..adoro il film e questo speciale e' stato fortissimo..

Venice is so expensive to live in now

Yea. Once we went from clay to urethane wheels it just blew up. Fiberglass Bahne board w/ Cadillac Wheels. Good times in Redondo!

An absolute classic.

Love this movie !!
