As I recall, in the novel he becomes a rock star!!! Quote

I don't know how many have seen the movie Rockers, but it includes this baptism scene with some amazing kette drumming to an old time spiritual that is absolutely rollicking. As one YT commenter states, I'd get baptized just to be a part of this jam: Rockers is a great movie, esp if you like reggae. It's not perfect, but scenes like this vault it into legendary cult status IMO. It's unfortunate that the song didn't make the soundtrack, and also unfortunate that I think it's only recording exists in this scene. Edited July 8 by Dub Modal Added words Quote

l p Posted July 9 Report Posted July 9 (edited) 21 hours ago, Dub Modal said: the movie Rockers i ran into this on firestick a couple of months ago. the local jamaican lingo is amazing. this may be the only movie (at least on firestick) that has a 2nd set of subtitles explaining the original subtitles. both subs are needed, and still are not enough to make it clear as to exactly what they're saying. looked for other jamaican 70's movies besides this, and the well known jimmy cliff 'the harder they come'. the only thing i could find is the seemingly silly 'Smile Orange' (1976). and that's it. 3 jamaican movies from the 70's.

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
l p Posted July 9 Report 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. Quote

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
