Anecdotes
The 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.

Gaffes
The 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.

Between the intersection of blaxploitation and vanguard cinema

Mr. Green and Mr. Dewitt really crafted a masterpiece with this film. Dismiss anything you've heard about Together Brothers, which boxes it in as a period piece. It is actually an urban crime drama cast in urban decay. The plot surrounds a gang of youths, "the Brothers" of the title, who work to solve the murder of an honorable patrolman. Additionally, they must move quickly to protect a young witness - who is doggedly pursued by the cop-killer.

For most of the movie, the killer is lurking in the shadows. But when he is finally revealed, he remains one of the most indelible head cases of movie land. The late Lincoln Kilpatrick really brings it as Billy Most. All the while, the film covers still timely topics as urban decay, police brutality, class warfare, urban decay, and ethnic strife. Together Brothers truly is ahead of its time, and like too many movies made between the mid 1960s and 1980s, digs up the unpleasant underbelly of Americana.
