I re-watched this recently on Tubi and had the same issue with subtitles. When I first saw it decades ago, it was via VHS and the movie's subtitles were sufficient (but I'm also a native a English speaker), and I'm pretty sure those subtitles are baked into the movie itself. Unless one is fluent in Jamaican patois, it's difficult to completely understand otherwise. I plan on watching again and will turn the streaming platform's subtitles off because I thought they were distracting and unnecessary as well. I've seen The Harder they Come but not Smile Orange. Another one I highly recommend is Countryman, which I rank up there with Rockers, and slightly better than The Harder they Come: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l p Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 the thing is, we've all heard of jimmy cliff 'the harder they come'. but i've not heard of rockers until now. and it's a much better/more real jamaican movie. i bet it's their favorite 70's.

Indeed. Rockers captures that late 70s reggae vibe better than any other movie I've seen. That's likely due to it including so many legendary artists in the cast. The only other one that rivals Rockers for that vibe is the documentary The Land of Look Behind: Edited July 10 by Dub Modal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 I just ran across this film script from 1969, autographed by the cast. When issued the title was changed to The Cockeyed Cowboys of Calico County. I got it back then from Don "Red" Barry at a charity auction. I'd never seen the film, but found it on Youtube tonight.
