What was that movie with the Mau-Mau's in?

Post by LIPPY »

Hey people! Does anyone remember the name of that movie about the two gangs 'The Mau-Mau's' and 'The Priests' (I THINK that's what they're called)?  :-k
I've just remembered seeing it at school years ago, in an R.E. lesson (Don't ask me why), now it's buggin' me... I vaguely remember The Mau-Mau's red/orange jackets. Anyone know anything about it?

Nah, man. It ain't that one. Cheers anyway. I think The Priests were an all black gang, and The Mau-Mau's were Hispanic (I think!). This is gonna kill me... ](*,)

The Mau Maus are the main gang in: The Cross and the Switchblade
stars a very young Eric Estrada and Pat Boone as the reverend who is trying to get the gangs to stop bopping and find religion.
Eric's character Nicky Cruz did (is a real gang banger in the Mau Maus in the late 50s/very early60s---now is actually a minister in his own right.)

It was actually a pretty good movie, and showed some of the gang situations.

That's the one, Ranchgal! The Cross And The Switchblade... It's all coming back now. How could I forget Nicky Cruz?! That would explain why I saw the film in an R.E. (Religious Education) class. Cheers mate!  :D

The other gang were 'The Bishops', not 'The Priests'. My bad. It was a long time ago!...
