MJBOLT:Every gang has its own method of operation. Some train their prospects before recruiting while some don’t. Because many schools requires post utme for admission doesn’t mean other schools require require post utme. Besides, most of things you listed are some of the things many gangs do all over the world. |

Kaycee7:Yes, they are. What you are saying then is that an action comedy where a crime was committed isn’t a crime movie because it’s an action movie. But does being an action comedy movie stop it from being a crime movie too? Movie Studios might tag it as just action comedy, but that doesn’t stop it from being a crime movie. For instance, 21 jump street movie was tagged only as the action comedy genre on rotten tomatoes. Whereas, it has elements of crime. The same way gangs of New York was tagged as history, drama on rotten tomatoes; and history, drama, crime on metacritic. Whereas, the storyline involves gangs. |

limcar:I feel the issue is many people only limit their knowledge of gangs to street gangs showing their gangsterism (especially black Americans) and perhaps the mafias. Whereas, gangs come in many forms. It may be prison gangs, narcotic gangs, yakuzas, agberos, punk gangs, assassins gangs, robbery gangs, graffiti gang among others. Also, the use of the term “gang movie” for only movies involving two or more gangs going against each other, or the depiction of the conventional black gangsterism seem to limit the scope of what is a gang movie. Whereas, a Batman going against gangs terrorising Gotham is also a gang movie. Just as a John Wick fighting the gangs of the high table (which include the mafias, Yakuzas, triads, the Cosa Nostra) is also a gang movie. Of course movie studios would give prominence to action, crime, thriller and other genre tag than gang genre tag. Even the movie, gangs of New York, only had history, drama as the genre tag on rotten tomatoes, and history, crime, drama tag on metacritic. I’m sure if the gangs of London series or gangs of New York had been titled shakers of London or New York, many people would have said it’s not a gang movie. The funny thing is, a look at some of the prominent gangs in United States shows that they are either mafias, street gangs, prison gangs or narcotics gangs, or yakuza, the triads. And I’m sure some of these gangs have operations outside of United States, Japan, and China. But to my people here, they are not gangs because they are intercontinental. |

I still maintain that the John wick movies are gang movies. The high table consists of mafias and other gangs who are trying to kill John Wick.

This John Wick argument don tire me. How far? 1. Kung-fu is only one style of fighting or martial arts. Saying that John Wick is a kung fu film is reductive. The first John Wick movie was more of gun action. Kung fu (be it tai chi, wing chun, preying mantis etc) is actually one of the worst fighting styles for an assassin. Most agents or Assassins used mixed martial arts aimed at killing quickly. 2. Gangs are actually prominent in all John Wick movies. From Russian gangs to Beggar gangs. Saying that John Wick is a gang movie is technically true. |

NaijaMemes:No one here has ever called John Wick 3 a Kung Fu movie. We said Kung Fu, Gun Fu, Karate and many other fighting styles were used in John Wick. So the question was whether or not Kung Fu was used in John Wick. Was Kung Fu used in John Wick? Yes or No? |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by MJBOLT: 7:08am On Apr 12, 2023 |
you have not said anything to counter my point,the guys in John Wick were trying to kill Wick because a contract was placed on his head. Nobody went after Wick because he stole the high table's cocaine,he broke a code of conduct and they sent ASSASSINS to kill him not GANG MEMBERS. toluxe0075: |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by MJBOLT: 7:17am On Apr 12, 2023 |
since we want to broaden the definition of a gang,then movies like Wrong Turn,Hills have Eyes,The Descent etc are gang movies ![]() I can list more gang movies if you want. toluxe0075: There was no mention of the Yakuza or Triads in John Wick, maybe I missed it,can you show me where. toluxe0075: |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by MJBOLT: 7:20am On Apr 12, 2023 |
uploading screenshot from a fandom site doesn't make your point valid. The John Wick movies were ranked 9,10,13 by ROTTEN TOMATOES on their list of greatest ASSASSIN movies. https: //editorial.rottentomatoes. com/guide/best-assassin-movies/ That's the link 👆 remove the spaces. toluxe0075: |

toluxe0075:Almost every action movie becomes a crime movie, as well, automatically going by your perspective. Cos there's almost no action movie where a crime is not committed. The Home Alone series become a crime series because they feature breaking-and-entering crimes. Sudden Death becomes a sports movie because the events take place during a hockey match. This is a completely wrong way to handle genre and theme labelling of a story. Gangs of New York revolves mainly around the confrontations and interactions between New York gangs with Amsterdam and Bill's stories as the main plot. The gang activities are in the foreground of the storytelling, not in the background. |

I'm still waiting for someone to say GOT is a gang series since we have gang of faceless men, gang of wildlings and gang of night's watch. I'm just seeing strange things here WTF!! |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by abduleez1(m): 11:30am On Apr 12, 2023 |
Gr8lex:Lol, some people analysis here funny die.... ![]() The Batman would be a gang movie then since once you have "elements" of gangsterism in a film, you're TECHNICALLY a gang movie. 😃 Mission Impossible and James Bond are gangster movies too. Same as The Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises. |

Insider Divinity Seeker confirms that the upcoming #MarvelStudios movie #Blade will be R-Rated. It will be shown on September 6, 2024 in all cinemas! Via: Movie News 🤯 |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Gr8lex(m): 12:16pm On Apr 12, 2023 |
abduleez1:Someone already cited Batman and James Bond as gangster movies which is very funny. Imagine someone tagging love and thunder as rom-com because it has elements of romance and comedy. The outfit is a typical example of a gangster movie. The main theme in a gang movie is drugs and guns with the protagonist at the centre of everything. Someone really needs to educate these guys cos their logic is really flawed. |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by NaijaMemes: 12:23pm On Apr 12, 2023 |
Gr8lex:How anachronistic! You are using an industrial age (18th century) terminology to describe something from a medieval age (5th to 15th century). The faceless men cannot exactly be described as a gang. They were a religious society or group of assassins. This is what we would call a "guild" or "brotherhood". As for Wildlings, they are a tribe. As for the nightswatch, they are a brotherhood. Hope you enjoyed your lesson, and you are holding your L well |

Avatar- Way of Water Very entertaining. It was a bit of a stretch in some areas, but quite entertaining nonetheless. |

NaijaMemes:1. Regardless of the Times, the definition won't change, take Aladdin and the King of thieves for example, it was set in Medivial times, but you can agree with me that they were a gang of thieves, would it be right to call them place them in the same light as the characters of John Wick and call them Assassins Assassins are people contracted to kill for Political/Religious reasons. Before you tell me JW is a gangster and not an assassin, I'd like you to tell me motive for Santino hiring John Wick to kill his sister. 2. Going By Your Analogy, it's safe to say the Characters in John Wick were Assassins and not Gangsters. Apart from the Religious Whatever, the MO of the faceless men and The Characters in JW are not so different. They all operate from the shadows. If The faceless men are not Gangsters, Nobody in JW is a gangster also |

Infinity War is a gangster movie,Thanos and his gang of thieves tried to steal the infinity stones from the Avengers. abduleez1: |

MJBOLT:Even Fire Lord Ozai and his gang of firebenders tried to wipe out the world. |

| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Arizoner: 1:41pm On Apr 12, 2023 |
MJBOLT:IW is no gangster shit. Thanos was trying to save the world from overpopulation by stealing the stones. Stop smoking that shit. I've been warning you |

Ishilove:Animals or humanoids, how would you classify the pandorians? |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Gr8lex(m): 1:59pm On Apr 12, 2023 |
NaijaMemes:My statement was actually sarcastic because someone called the league of shadows a gang but you obviously missed it. You can take back your L tho, it is your birthright |
