- TriviaColin Quinn who played Dre and Lover's best friend Frankie on the film, also appeared on MTV as part of the original game show "Remote Control", which also featured Adam Sandler and Kari Wuhrer, which was hosted by Ken Ober, who makes a cameo in this film as the police geologist, Bernstein. Quinn and Sandler would be hired to star on Saturday Night Live and both were working on the show while this film was in production in 1992 and after the film was released. Quinn would leave about a year before Sandler was unceremoniously fired from the show along with Chris Farley, David Spade and a few other members in the 1995 infamous housecleaning that took place that spring.
- GoofsDemetrius makes mention of a bible scripture "Every man's sword will be against his brother". He says this is from the book of Daniel. It is actually from Ezekiel 38:21.

Featured review
Come on, people! This is when hip-hop really started to appeal to the masses, and if it's dated, then so am I! This film has moments that make the entire experience worthwhile. There are some jokes that are still genuinely funny, and the "message" continues to be timeless: do good by people and do good by your neighbors and your neighborhood.
If you are at ALL a fan of hip-hop (hell, I'm a white girl from the midwest, so if I call myself a fan, I should think that everyone who ever drew breath has to be *something* of a fan), you're going to enjoy this one, if for no other reason than the innumerable cameo apperances! You can see some favorites who have sadly left this realm (Run DMC), or those who started in hip-hop and found their way to the Academy Awards (go ahead, Queen Latifah!). And this is where I might be dating myself a bit, but has hip hop been as good since these days? I put this DVD on and find myself rump-shakin throughout the house. Yeah, I might have mentioned -- white girl from the midwest. :)
American Beauty this ain't. But if you want some giggles on a Friday night, and it's a cheap rental, I can't say a bad thing about this flick. It makes me wish "Yo! MTV Raps" was still on the air, and that's one helluva statement.
