Customer Reviews of Tougher Than Leather
The originator This is a pretty bad movie, the acting is decent, at best. The plot is thin, the budget looked to be about nill. But, there is something about "Tougher Then Leather" maybe it was because I grew up lovin' Run-DMC, I'm not sure. This movie does deserve a lot of credit though. It's the first movie I remember seeing, that had tons of cameos from rappers, and wasn't a movie about rapping. This came out way before Who's The Man or any of the newer flicks that have rappers in them, just to sell tickets. It was strange to see Run & DMC acting so hard. But for all those who dislike that fact, remember this is a movie and they are "acting" They didn't train for this like Em did in 8-Mile. It's a low budget "gangsta" flick. I think when you consider the time period it came out, it's actually a pretty decent picture. They didn't set out to make something that would win an Oscar, or anything like that. Watch this movie, sit back and be entertained. And peep all the cameos, there are a lot of guest star emcees to be found here. And even "Rick Ruben" himself.
Run D Other Way!
I usually don't agree with Leonard Maltin, but he got it right with the witty line that I used to title this review.
Run DMC sold out big time with this one. The loveable heroes of rap of the 80s who kept rap from dying out in 1983 come off as crude gangsters who go on a revenge binge after the killing of their roadie Runny Ray. Blood and guts galore, foreshadowing the gagster rappers.
Low-grade garbage indeed. This video is great on a cold day when your fireplace is low. The DVD is also excellent for target practice on the rifle range.
Stick To Their Records
In my opinion, RUN DMC is the best rap group ever. This movie, however, is a poor witness to their talent. Run, DMC (Darryl Mac) and Jammaster Jay play detectives and vigilantes in the muddled plotline. Around the time this movie was released, the RUN DMC's popularity was beginning to decline. Unfortunately, this movie helped that along.
