Summary: I-Rey Mon. Rockers is Top-Ranking.
Review: This film is more than cookie cutter come-uppance. It is a spiritual journey, one that takes the viewer through a day in the life of a down-to-earth third world international superstar, who brushes shoulders with Police, Theives, Herbsmen, Artists, and everyday people. Rockers is a glimpse of Jamaican Culture, Music, Vibe, and Hard Roots Reggae. I'd give it more stars, but it got 5 from everyone here already. I bought this DVD twice, one for me & one for my bud. The 7 bonus tracks are outstanding. The Soundtrack is only half the picture. There are many many more great songs in this film you could only get here. This is a no-brainer.

Summary: Caveat Emptor
Review: This version is poor quality w/scenes chopped from the original theatre release. I read where the "official" DVD version on Island/Palm/Whatever they are this week was supposed to be out, but I can't find it. That said, this is a great movie & a real kick to revisit after all these years. I was just reminded the other day that Jacob Miller died at 25! Such a shame.

Summary: An Hilarious, Classic
Review: Undisputable one of the best movies to come out of Jamaica. This classic, entertaining, hilarious comedy offers non stop laughs. Aligned with an all star cast of not only good actor, but entertainers, as well, this Jamaican comedy crosses all lines of color, creed and social class. It not only offers a well writen, well directed movie, but also a strong ambience of Jamaican culture. Armed with true Jamaican patios and subtitle, for those that might have problem with the dialogue. I see no reason why this treasure should only be for Jamaicans, but should be shared with America and the rest of the free world too. I think that everyone should pick up this movie so the whole family can enjoy it. We can only hope that Jamaica has more movies like this one to offer in the future.

Review: WORDS CAAN DESCRIBE this masterpiece of Jamaican culture, seen! Shot during the "Golden Age" of Reggae music. See your favorite artists like Jacob "KILLER" Miller, Robbie Shakespear of "Sly & Robbie," Gregory Issacs, Burning Spear (Winston Rodney), Big Youth, Kiddus I, Horsemouth, Tommy Mc Cook & the all-stars (crucial horn section). Some of the finest footage of Jamaican country and the very best musicians of the era can be seen on this film. A MUST HAVE for any serious Reggae enthusiast. You'll love the live 70's Stage Show "dance hall fashion" w/ Gregory Issacs crooning and Jack Ruby as da selecta'Political violence rocked the country at this time in the 70's and one of the by-products of this was an energy...sort of a creation of vibes & the movement towards mass consciouness that can be seen, felt & certainly heard in this film, awul. The BONUS AUDIO tracks contain some NEVER RELEASED MATERIAL that are incredible...featuring some tracks from the score that you have never heard before. Also the SLIDESHOW contains a wonderful array of still-shots taken during the filming of ROCKERS.....excellent for backround A/V during entertaining. Some crucial shots of Peter Tosh too. Also, the PATOIS DICTIONARY is another must have for anybody who was not raised by Jamaicans, and trying to understand the dialect. Only Jah Know~

Review: Yeah, Reggae holds it's own in this vintage Roots film about the "real deal" record industry in Jamaica. You'll never find a cast like this, what a community of musicians! I only wish more of the reggae musicians kept this same type of closely knit fraternity! A lot of those same musicians have been recently featured on the Black Seed (2001) album. Check both of them out!!!
