Rockers was made after the the stunning success of the independently made 1972 hit The Harder They Come, which introduced North Americans to reggae music and the Rastafarian lives of many Jamaicans. In the story, Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, who has been a drummer in reggae bands, decides to try and give his fellow musicians an even break by becoming a record distributor. When local gangsters rip him off and stop his budding music venture cold, his fellow musicians decide to rob the robbers. Practically everyone in this film, beginning with its star, were reggae musicians who were well known in Jamaica. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
Theodorus Bafaloukos' musical drama Rockers comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are neither subtitles nor closed-captions on this release. Supplemental materials include never before released music tracks from the band created for the film. Because of the appearances by Peter Tosh, Third World and other reggae legends, this Music Video Distribution title is highly recommended to reggae enthusiasts. However, there is little else here to interest the average DVD consumer. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
