Corky



Corky is a cranky, violent, bad-tempered drug lord of a drug-dealing family in the movie Fresh.

He was portrayed by Ron Brice.

His operations are based in Williamsburg (we can see the Williamsburg Bridge approach if you pay close attention to the background; throughout the beginning). He is undeniably nasty and evil as well. He even gets snarky with Fresh, giving him crap about asking for due money, when Fresh says, "And you know I ain't gonna be getting in Jake's Face like that." When Fresh asks for more money, while he gives it to them, it's not without showing arrogance to him at first (his bros certainly laugh at him).

Corky: "So instead you get in mine?"

He is outright frightening in such a way that puts Rodney Little of Clockers to shame. He even has no qualms about beating a boy with chains because of his disloyalty, as he threatened to do to Fresh. Underneath all of this though, he is honorable in one way. When Fresh talks about how he is tired of being terrorized by Jake, apparently Corky is so moved by that monologue it motivates him to kill Jake even more:

Corky: "So you gonna be the man, Jake?" (beats with chain) "You gonna be the man, huh?" (beats with chain) You gonna be the man!"

(beats the chain)

Red: "Yo Corky!"

(beats with chain)

Corky: "Yo" (beats with chain) "Red" (beats again) "Jake's the man now and you his number one G" (beats) "his number" (beats again) "one" (beats again) "G" (beats for the last time).

One of Corky's best lines is this: "Nigga cut into my shit, know that shit is mine than tries to sell it without cutting me in? That shit is my problem! And we gonna pay my problem a visit and solve it."
