"I'LL CHUCK A SPEAR UP YOUR ASS, MOTHERFUCKER!"
VS.
"SHUT YOUR FACE OR I'LL SHOVE THIS BAT UP YOUR ASS AND TURN YOU INTO A POPSICLE!"
This contest is too difficult for me to judge.
The scene where the Wanderers and Jefferson's black gang plus the Wongs and the asshole father join forces to fight the Ducky Boys at the football field is sheer beauty.

if you like the wanderers - the book - then definitely read ladies' man and the breaks. i LOVE the breaks. i love them both. bloodbrothers was a really good book also. and a good movie too. i don't know if bloodbrothers is on dvd, but it should be.
he kinda lost me with clockers, freedomland, etc. not saying they aren't worth reading, they are. probably for the dialogue alone. but they read more like someone who has been writing screenplays for 20+ years. you dig? but wanderers/ladies man/the breaks, man, he KNEW that shit. that shit was him. and they all rule.
(having said that about his later stuff, i still wanna read lush life, his last book.)
the breaks and ladies' man are two truly influential books in skot's kanon.

...and really not that great, is it? Ken Wahl looks delicious, and I was surprised how much typically weird Richard Price gay stuff got left in, but about 40% of it is nostalgia movie boilerplate. Nice location work tho.
