Man that movie was intense. I was 10 turning 11 when i watched it. Had me in a twist. They murked that one black dude, with a skateboard across the face.
Most of the main actors, excluding Justin Pierce are still alive. Leo Fitzpatrick (Telly) was in the wire.
Yeah, I remember the movie "Kids". That came out when I was also 10. I really wanted
to see it because of my curiosity but I was too young. I had to see it 7 years later
because I knew someone who had the video. And yeah, even though most of the kids
were playing characters, they themselves were very much like the characters they
portrayed in real life. Here in the US, Larry Clark is viewed as a paedophile because
he has young people doing "weird things". His movie "Ken Park" was banned in the
US, UK, and Australia.
And for the record, Justin Pierce died 8 years ago. He committed suicide. Look at
his bio:
