"You better go and run and put some black people on the wall real quick...you better go draw a nigga or something" Primm thinking kills me 😂😂😂😂😂

To be honest, the only person that was actually doing the right thing in this movie was the drunk guy that was getting clowned on. He saved a kid from getting ran over (he gets criticized), he gave a kid some money to get something from the store *sorta* (criticized). "They say the heat makes people crazy." - Huey Freeman MESSAGE 😂😂

Fun Fact: Da Mayor and the lady in the window Ruby Dee were actually married in real life and were married about 40 years when this movie came out and were married up until Da Mayor died in 2005.

Giancarlo Esposito was perfect to cast as someone like Gus Fring, someone who can hide in plain sight, because in like half the movies he’s in, I never realize it’s him until years later.

That whole "opens up his own chicken spot in New Mexico killed me" was not expecting it

“You better go run and put some black people on the wall” was my biggest laugh all day. 😂😂 One of my favorite movies, been waiting on this one lol.

That Krusty Krab riff while the pizza place went down was too perfect😭

fun fact: the woman yelling at the drunk guy out the window is his wife in Real life. Her name is Ruby Dee and his is Ossie Davis. They were married for 57 years. Talk about black love. He died before her in 2005 and she lived until 2014. RIP to both.

Mookie was an overall bad human being for the most part. Terrible employee and father but I guess since it was Spike Lee we like him? RIP Radio Raheem

I lived in Brooklyn when this film opened and Spike Lee was in the Times Square theater with us. He stood outside and greeted people as they left. Brooklyn was very much like what was portrayed in the film. Back then the community was still tense about the murder of Yusef Hawkins whose death was the third killing of a black male by white mobs in New York City during the 1980s. And it was a hot summer, too.

DANNY AIELLO, OSSIE DAVIS AND RUBY DEE were all in this film, were definitely ALL STARS and deserved for their names to be mentioned. RIP to these legends 🙏 🕊

Ya’ll remember when Martin recreated the trash can scene when he quit the radio station except the glass didn’t break?? 😂

Public Enemy has to be Spike Lee's favorite rap group, especially years later when he did 'He Got Game.' The whole damn soundtrack was just Public Enemy in the damn movie. 😂

Lol why everybody getting choked out in the intro "You ain't no pizza man, you a pizza s***" 😂😂 Primm is an undefeated legend

I wish you had mentioned how the racist son was also enamored with spike lee's sister. That shit was wild to me. He'd say all this fucked up shitty then smile in her face as if she is somehow different from the people he hate

"everybody's sad now and the movie's over. nobody did the right thing, there's no real resolution" LOL

This sneak drop got me shook. Primm stay being consistent this year

The aggressive dancing everybody did in the 90s.. as someone who was at their prime in the 90s.. TRUTH!!!! 😂😂😂😂

"you better go draw a nigga or something" 😂😂😂😂😂 That might be one of the funniest jokes ever payed off from a earlier setup. That shit was perfect 😂😂😂

In the end it seems like nothing is learned because Spike himself doesn't have the answers. It's the reason for the opposing views of Malcolm and MLK quotes at the end. Both are right, just the way both Buggin Out and Sal are right.

Still waiting on Primm to hit us with that Vampire in Brooklyn

Primm casually dropping a hood classic like it’s nothing

This was Martin first movie too that’s why the poster was up in his apartment in Martin. The more you know.

Fun fact: Spike Lee painted that brick wall bright red to make the movie feel warmer

I have been waiting relentlessly for Primm to get to this one. An element that I always saw in the flick was: the heatwave ratcheting up issues that on any other day would have just been one argument among many (the photos on the wall) into a series of mini-wars, eventually escalating to the point where violence is unavoidable.

Not only was Robin Harris younger than the characters he played but in real life him & Bill Nunn (Radio Raheem) were the same age 🤯

The Krusty Krab pizza song had me dying 😂

Speaking of Italians bro PLEASE do A Bronx Tale, it’s about The Italian Hoods and the Mob. You’ll love it

School Daze and Do the Right Thing are certified masterpieces. Spike Lee movies are always fun to watch for me. Shout outs to the Martin cast

That "pizza shit" line had me on the floor. And I had to bring it back a second time to really pick it up 😂😂😂

This craziest thing about this story is that Mookie is still working at Sal’s like 20 something years later in Spike Lee’s Red Hook Summer

Spike Lee is my favorite director of ALL time. I always wondered what would happen if he got a high budget Hollywood film. But imo him and john singleton captured the black experience in its essence

Buggin out is REALLY gonna be pissed off when he finds out that Gus doesnt have any bruthas on the wall at Los Pollos Hermanos

people used to hang outside, sit in front of their porch, talk to each other, and also people knew their neighbors, even in the city. kids would play on the street, most of this is gone, bright summer days, not a kid to be seen on the street. I think the projects is the only place you see ppl out these days.

Rip Ossie Davis and his wife Ruby Dee didn’t know they were married to each other until I got older. I watched this movie so many times. It came out on my brother birthday.

I agree with Mr. Sweet Dick Willie on 7:39 Buggin Out should’ve boycotted the barber who cuts his hair 🤣😂😅😆💯. Honestly Mookie was a terrible pizza delivery man and Sal was really TRIPPIN’ for charging $2 for a little extra cheese 🤨💯. This was a Great and Very Hilarious Commentary Primm 👍💯. You are an All Star ⭐️ 😎💯.

Radio Raheem and Mookie seem to be the opposites of sorts. Raido Raheem was spreading the message about love and hate and how the dynamics work against each other both while also exhibiting minor traits of a thinker or person giving words of wisdom. Mookie was the lazy dead beat father that was just barely surviving. The old wino got no respect although he was trying to do his best. The movie demonstrated different types of archtypes and no one group or people behavior or act the same. Sal was a good example of that with his sons. Sal wanted peace and Pino wanted to leave. Bad kids, no one listening to elders, racial stereotypes, welcome to America.

Spike makes a masterpiece and then gets mad that people discuss it / make theories about it so for the rest of his career he makes movies where the message comes out loud and clear, often (but not always) to the detriment of the story. One of the things I love and hate about him as a writer. Fun to include the theory, say you like it, then put his response at the end. I think discussion of the film makes it more interesting, not less, and I don’t get why Spike feels the need to pass judgement on it. Great vid.

Mookie throwing the garbage can was him choosing a side. After the death of Radio Raheem, Mookie was standing on the side of Sal, his money getting paid. Bugging Out tried talking to him about why there weren't any black people on the wall. He told him to leave because he didn't want to lose his job, again standing with Sal. In the end, Mookie chose the side of his people and yelled the word hate because hate had won in the death of Radio Raheem.

I always wondered if people realized that Mookey saved Sal and his sons. May have not been intentional but he ultimately did the right thing. You cannot replace a life but you can replace a store/business.

Been in rehab for the last 3 months & I just got out. I see you been putting in hella work, you're an allstar!

I spat out my drink about mookie "being a terrible pizza man. I hate him to"

Almost 35 years later and the movie and it’s message are as relevant now as it was then. I work with incarcerated youth. When George Floyd was murdered and the riots followed, I showed them this movie. It helped generate a good discussion. Thanks for the video Primm!!

This and School Daze are the greatest Spike Lee joints.

Spike Lee’s magnum opus. Glad I’m here before Primm has to re-upload 😂

I've read theories that Buggin' Out and Raheem share a learning disability? (The latter's boombox acts as a safety blanket). Anyway this is a top tier review of the greatest hood movie ever made, give Jungle Fever a peak sometime it's a proto-Sopranos reunion.

I actually finally watched this a few years back and one thing I liked about the movie is the randomness of the movie. It’s reminiscent of an intermingled yet segregated neighborhood who are essentially forced to live here by poverty. But Spike Lee really shows his niche in world building with this movie as if it were a day out of many. I really liked that. The people groups still have their opinions but occasionally find their harmony in common things like food and sex. All in all, this neighborhood doesn’t really seek to “do the right thing” but acting out of each of their own grievances. Perhaps the title is more of a statement and an call to action than a description of the movie’s contents.

Nobody did the right thing except the Mayor who tried to stop the senseless violence on Sal's. Even the high moral Mother Sister was engulfed in the violence but the Mayor made her snap out of it. sad that u left all that part out for the punchline lol

I legit knew folks like this growing up in the late 80's early 90's, Hell the old winos I used to see when I was in my 30's sitting around this apartment complex my sister lived at. Just some old middle-aged dudes sitting around outside all day hanging out, got lawn chairs out, and sat down. Giancarlo was extra in every Spike Lee movie he was in back then, remember School Daze? He was extra as hell in that movie too

Prim..you gotta do “Original Gangsters” with Jim Brown. The fight scenes are crazy. You will have fun with this one!

I saw this movie in college, the same time Breaking Bad was on the air, and it wasn’t until last year I realized Buggin' Out was played by Gus lol

If "Do The Right Thing" taught me anything it's that heat can really fuck with people.

Best movie you’ve done so far, certified classic

Bro this has to be one of the best reaction videos I’ve ever seen. I was in high school when *”Do The Right Thing”* came out and I saw it at the movies with my date. One of the best nights of my childhood, borrowed my dad car to go see this movie. And no, not everyone in the late 80’s danced really hard lol 😂. Well I didn’t dance really hard, but my high school girlfriend did. She broke her foot dancing hard lol 😂. Everyone was trying to rock those Jordan 4’s as well because Spike Lee and Michael Jordan had the commercial together, my high school girlfriend brought me and her a matching pair because I couldn’t afford it at the time. Now I’m able to afford a pair and now I have several pairs of J 4’s and I’m talking about the real retro ones too with *”Nike Air”* on the back not with the *”Jumpman”* on the back because that’s not original design. But man you brought back some good memories bro good job 👏🏾

Oh Primm can we get Spike Lee's Bamboozled since it's Spooky Season?

When Radio Raheem died and the riot followed, I forgot I was even watching an 80’s movie, because unfortunately that’s still relevant today.

This was my old neighborhood back in The days. They shot a few movies in this area. That was awesome that Mr. Lee brought such an amazing experience to that dead neighborhood.

I'm from Baltimore and I remember back in the mid 90s we had a dude in our neighborhood who used to walk around with a boombox like Radio Raheem. I forgot what dude's name was, but my father was cool with him. Dude stopped doing that shit in the 00s. The new version of that shit is the dudes who walk around blasting music from bluetooth speakers. I was a kid when boombox dude was around, but that those bluetooth niggas are annoying as fuck 🤣

1:29 Not only was Mookie the worst pizza guy… he had the worst actor playing him…which was himself… Spike made the best decision when he took himself out of his films except for small cameos..Spike should have had someone else play Mookie… he was lucky he was surrounded by some of the best actors and the story was strong… it saved the film from his atrocious acting…

I love this movie. Don't even remember how many times I've watched it. I think Malcolm X was Spike's best movie though.

Before I even watched the video. I liked it. Because you did the right thing by finally doing THIS MOVIE! You an all star man♥️

I’ve waited literal years for this one!!!! LETS GOOOOOOO!!!

So many all-stars in this joint. Too many to name! This was genuinely my favorite movie for my entire teenage years...

I think the close up shots of people faces were meant to show the each person’s individuality or perspectives or something and the racist roasting scene was to display everyone’s personal prejudices about each other. Also I believe that Radio Raheem is portrayed as Neurodivergent in the movie

Please do Sister Act 2 and Hollywood Shuffle!!🙏🏾🤞🏽

This is honestly one of the greatest films of all time and is a fantastic example of how to write nuance in a film You can see the perspectives and reason why the characters however prejudiced, feel the way they do.

Its crazy that the entire movie wouldn't have happened if it decided to rain that day instead of being really hot. The overarching theme of it being too hot is what rose everyone's temperatures to be crazy. If it wasn't too damn hot, Gus wouldn't have spent too much time looking at the people on the wall and starting an argument with Sal.

This was such a good movie

Rosie Perez when she wasn’t talking was a got dang 10 plus one in this movie.

I'm suprised you didn't use the Allstar on Samuel L Jackson, or Spike Lee, Giancarlo Esposito or Martin Lawrence?!

Black Allstars - Ossie Davis, Paul Benjamin, Ruby Dee, Robin Harris, John Turturo, Giancarlo Esposito, and more

How dare you call this Spike Lee’s best movie when Malcom X (1992) exists

This is my favorite Spike Lee joint. I’ve always found the atmosphere, editing, and characters to be top tier Lee.

Spike Lee really predicted modern grievence politics here. Bugging out made a big beef over something superficial like brothers on the wall; went around the neighborhood to get support and got like 2 people😂 😅😅 but despite that acted like he was representing the entire black community and ended up trying to fucking murder the dude over a damn picture

10:20 bro got the radio homie killed over some goofy ahh pictures on the Italian wall 😢

Still better than "Driving Miss Daisy"

My favorite two people from this movie is Martin Lawrence and Samuel l Jackson. They crack me up while everybody else is so disrespectful. Most people from this movie will be missed. Robin Harris was the first person from the movie to die. R.I.P

Finally! This movie is a perfect from beginning to end. Not only an entertaining story, but you almost feel like your in the neighborhood amongst the people. The message is timeless and still very prevalent today. Eventually "doing the right thing" turns into an eye for an eye. Everyone has a breaking point...people want REAL JUSTICE, SINCERITY, and the TRUTH!otherwise they will revolt as they should accordingly. Stay blessed Primm.✌🏿✊🏿

Growing up I never understood how you could go into someone else’s business and demand stuff and then get mad at them when they refuse lol I always seen it as the neighborhood brought this on themselves by pushing and pushing kind of like today where businesses are leaving certain areas. Pretty sad to see we haven’t progressed at all from the everything is racist mindset

Love this movie. One of my all time favorites. Cast full of all stars

Primm always dropping gems...he's an all star!

I worked at SCAD art school in Atlanta,ga and the got all the outfits from the main characters in the school museum…it’s dope asf

Way back in the day in NY you could deliver on foot because the deliveries were local. There were way more pizzerias and Chinese food restaurants so within every 10 block radius there was another to deliver to your block

I love this fucking movie. Thank you Primm I'm getting my popcorn right now fam, you a Black All-Star.

This movie is full of all-stars and Primm has declared a lot of the people in the "Do the Right Thing" all-stars a some point.

I can’t with the Krusty Krab song 😂😂😂😂

I have been waiting for you to do this video for months!!! Thank you 🙏🏽

Grew up not too far from where they filmed Do The Right Thing (early 2000's to late 2010's). I was there for the 30th anniversary block party back in 2019.

One of my favorite films of all time. Another Oscar snub for Spike

Fun fact. Sal's Pizzeria was a set up just for the movie. It was not an actual building there!

OH MY GOODNESS I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS THE LONGEST SOOO THANK U THIS IS MY FAV SPIKE LEE FILM

You should do American Me next or New Jersey Drive.

This movie is full of Black Allstars!!!!❤❤

As a boricua, I do say Boricuas are loud lol. But this movie is a great movie and as much as it spoke back then, it still speaks volumes today. Nothing really changed.

I’ve been waiting for this one forever! Thank you, you’re an all star!

Prim right on time just got off work got some snacks thank you lord . Prim came in the clutch . 💯

Harold Tubman killed me 😂

Been watching your channel for so long with all my boys and you covered all our favourite movies, so hype you got around to this one. my favourite fosho

you're like the black santa claus except randomly throughout the year

how come no one ever talks about mookie and his sister sleep in the same bed. they're supposed to be like 20 something right? I get that they're supposed to be poor...but it's still weird. When I first watched this movie, i assumed they were a couple sleeping together like that.
