Deliberate mistake: When Laurence Fishburne goes to Reva's car when she delivers Tre, Lawrence's face can be seen in the inside rear-view mirror as he kneels down on the passenger side.
Boyz n the Hood (1991)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: John Singleton
Starring: Cuba Gooding Jr., Laurence Fishburne, Ice Cube, Angela Bassett, Lloyd Avery II, Hudhail Al-Amir, Miya McGhee
Continuity mistake: Right after Ricky is gunned down, Cuba Gooding Jr. is covered in blood. In a following scene when he gets out of Doughboy's car, he doesn't have as much blood on his jeans, yet he never changed his clothes or cleaned them.
Doughboy: Hos gotta eat too.
Woman: Wait a minute, who you callin' a ho, I ain't no ho!
Doughboy: Oops... sorry, bitch! (00:35:31)
Trivia: Laurence Fishburne plays Cuba Gooding Jr.'s father in the movie, even though he's only seven years his senior.
Question: When Ricky's mum is looking at his test results, I think his score was 710. I don't live in America, so I have no idea if this is good or not. I'm assuming it is, but if someone could confirm this and just how good (e.g. very high or simply quite good) it is, I would appreciate it.

Answer: The scoring has been changed in recent years, but for the time that is a very poor SAT score, the average was probably between 900 and 1000, and 1600 was perfect. But at the time, you needed to score at least a 700 on the SAT to get into college, so he would have been able to go to school on a football scholarship, had he not been killed.
