The following frame captures are from the 1980 film Times Square. Not
only is the movie rife with incredible ghettoblasters, but the story and acting are
both pretty good. Grab the DVD
if you can. Times Square was shot entirely in New York City at a time when boomboxes
were to be seen and heard around every turn.
