I just want to know the name of the song and artist in? the leather club.
I just watched this movie and it really sucked !! I heard all about it back in the day and never watched it till now…it is a waste of time…I am dissapointed to see Al Pacino? being a part of this piece of shit movie. !!
I bet those cops were in the closet? big time.
the film could be? re-edited with a more authentic disco soundtrack..
boots and wool lumber jack socks were? popular in that city and weather
damn those dudes can party?
@valglass12 The club was patterned on the Mine Shaft. There was a white sign on the black door? of the mine Shaft that strictly dictated would could or could not be worn in the club, and they were very inflexible. They didn’t even allow latex back then. Can you imagine?
@7beers There was a gay man shot outside the RamRod a few months after the movie came out, and one of the things the man who did the shooting said is that he had seen Cruising. A number of activists jumped on it and said? “see”? It later turned out that he hadn’t actually seen it – his lawyer just told him to say that.
@rickw1100 It’s actually a realistic portrayal of the gay scene, circa ’79. The protests occurred at a time when gays were still apologizing for being gay – trying to convince people of how “normal” we were, and the idea that the masses were going to become aware of leather, drag queens and fistfucking freaked them out. They were still standing? in front of mirrors, practicing how they would say “Mom, I’m gay”. How could they ever explain Cruising? Hence, the protests…
@rickw1100 How did many homosexuals die from this? movie?
This “film” is everything that gay activists said it was-a disgusting smear campaign to demonize the Gay community- See the documentary: ‘The Celluliod Closet”- This film was responsible for the death of many? a Gay person.- Al Pacino omits it from his filmography- Director William Friedkin is a very sick individual with his own Gay issues-. This is violent, sick, porno flick at best. Shame on those who made it. Disgusting. SHAME AND SHAME AGAIN.
wy they make irish accent? italains do this? this
i think pacino was bisexual and meeting the young man upstairs from him made him realise that he had gay feelings towards other men so thats why he killed him in the end. im from ireland i wish i had of been around the new york or? san fransisco gay scene back in the 70s
Track is called “Lump” by Mutiny.? The whole soundtrack rocks hard (so to speak).
Why did you search out this film-clip in the? first place ?????…………Sweetpea !!! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
how is this track called? i want to find it in? the market!
i? was thinking same thing.
i agree. great film by william friendkin, who also made? ‘the exorcist’.
i agree. great song? by mutiny. it was big back in the day
I like this film. The pre-AIDS gay scene was funner here in my city too. And what I most like is the fact that music is good rock&roll (Willy Deville, John Hiatt…) instead of the hackneyed music for queens in that era (Gloria Gaynor, etc). However the film? has some loose ends. Why does the killer look different from the one who’s eventually caught? They’re not the same man! Regarding Al Pacino, seems that he finds himself there, but, is he the real killer? does he kill the neighbouring boy?
So wait a minute, i still dont get it. in the end of this film,? the killer was Al Pacino? Or was it just shown that way cause he basically was in to deep. or something.
I wonder how those macho gays in the basement club would react to a? “Bruno” type of gay at their place. Wonder what their reaction would be? Two fists or one? LOL
Fantastically different movie back in the day when it came out!
Pacino was great in this (as he usually is!).
Mad/great film and great music too!
Come up here… I wanna show you? my nightstick! CRAZY!
Let me get this straight, no pun intended, I’m? supposed to think gays aren’t insane? You’d have to be crazy to do that perverted crap.
AHHHHH Back in the day when Freedom was? everything……………..
