In this film, the culture, characters and mannerisms are authentic. The main rocker Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, for example, is shown living with his actual wife and kids and in his own home. The recording studios shown are the famous Harry J Studios where many roots reggae artists recorded during the 70s including Bob Marley. Samples of the film's dialogue were used in the early 1990's jungle track, "Babylon" by Splash, "Terrorist Dub" by Californian ragga-metal band Insolence, and in the track "Zion Youth" from the 1995 album Second_Light by Dreadzone.
Two scenes from the classic reggae film ‘Rockers’ 1978
