Juice: Rap legend Tupac Shakur stars in cult gangster thriller Juice, a tale of four friends determined to make some money on the harsh streets of Harlem.
Directed by Ernest R Dickerson, Juice has an outstanding soundtrack featuring hip-hop heroes Eric B and Rakim, EPMD, Big Daddy Kane and many more.
This groundbreaking movie comes to UK DVD for the first time ever on 3 October 2011 from Second Sight Films.
Bishop (Tupac), Q (Omar Epps), Raheem (Khalil Kain) and Steel (Jermaine Hopkins), are from the hood, they’re drifting through life spending their days cutting school, fighting and shoplifting for fun. Q dreams of becoming a DJ but Bishop has other ideas, he buys a gun and is soon making plans for his crew to rob the local store and split the takings. But things don’t go to plan and their lives are changed forever.
Juice made a huge impact on its release with its realistic portrayal of ghetto life and is finally available on DVD after many years.
