Directed by: John Singleton
Starring: Cuba Gooding Jr., Laurence Fishburne, Ice Cube, Angela Bassett, Lloyd Avery II, Hudhail Al-Amir, Miya McGhee
Continuity mistake: In the last shoot out scene at the burger stand, the main guy in the crew is shown wearing a jacket when he is eating french fries. When he is running away, his jacket is gone. (01:41:15 - 01:43:30)
Suggested correction: The guy eating the fries has a gray shirt on from the time they arrive at the restaurant 'til he is shot.
Factual error: In the scene where Trey's father shoots at the burglar the gun punches baseball sized holes in the door. A .357 Magnum bullet going through a thin wooden door would just punch through, without expanding or tumbling, and leave a hole only a bit larger than the bullet diameter.
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: John Singleton was nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this movie. At the age of 24, Singleton became the youngest person to be Oscar nominated for directing.
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.
