    • Trivia
      The stick-up guys were cast when Charlie Ahearn saw them hanging around the location. Ahearn offered them a prop gun but they insisted on using their real sawed-off shotgun. All of their lines were improvised.
    • Goofs
      At 6:18 Hector tells Raymond 'Zoro' to take off his do-rag. Then Ray's hair pops back and forth between being flat from the do-rag to a picked out Afro during their conversation.

    More important than good
    As a time capsule of a particular scene, this is incredible with the birth or rap, breakdancing, graffiti art, etc. all on display. That said, it's barely a movie. It's all extended concert scenes with no plot. Add in terrible acting, and poor editing and framing and you get an objectively bad piece of work that still manages to be extremely important and vital.
