Did you know
- TriviaThe unnamed racist police detective (Howard Picard) who orders the gang to disperse at Mr. Kool's homicide scene is/was a member of the Galveston Police Department. Det. Picard retired from the Galveston P.D. in 1988; in real life, he was an alligator wrestler at the former Sea-Arama Marineworld.
- GoofsThe building exterior of the Galveston Police Department's Central Headquarters where H.J. and Vega jump is totally different from the one seen where both men are hiding where the police cruisers disperse. The unknown exterior where both men jump could be either the Galveston County Courthouse complex located at Ball/19th Street or the University of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston main campus.

Featured review
The Real Deal
So many Hollywood movies attempt the gritty realism of THIS film, and almost never come close. "Together Brothers" is an astoundingly realistic and gritty look at urban strife, devastating poverty, and finally, loyalty among friends. Four teenagers decide they are going to find the guy who murdered the town police officer, who was so good and respectful to the kids, that they named him Mr. Cool. The film then takes the viewer on a journey through the dark underbelly of one of the poorest, saddest ghetto wastelands EVER captured on film. And it's not a movie set either; it's all real. Galveston Texas looks sort of like a shanty town here, with people living in gutted buildings and shacks, and instead of polished looking actors, real townspeople were used to create this amazing film. It's a town where everyone knows and looks out for each other. When the kids see one of their own murdered in cold blood, they want to do something. The actors were amazing, especially Ahmad Nurradin in the role of H.J, who gives a performance that is sincere and unforgettable. This film is surely one of the best movies of the 70's, and it amazes me how unknown it is. I hope "Together Brothers" isn't labeled "blaxploitation," because it certainly is not that.
