    • Trivia
      Originally, writer, producer, and director John Singleton wanted Leonardo DiCaprio to play Remy, while Michael Rapaport was originally going to play Scott Moss. DiCaprio was cast, but unable to be in this movie because of a scheduling conflict with Mort ou vif (1995). So Singleton had Rappaport play Remy once Cole Hauser was cast.
    • Goofs
      Remy says he is from Idaho, but he speaks with a thick New York accent.
    • Quotes

      [after Malik referred to him as a "sell-out"]

      Professor Phipps: So, Mr. Williams thinks I am an Uncle Tom, hmmm? Well, well, well. What does that have to do with your ability to place a comma in its proper place or put a period at the end of a sentence, hmmm?

    • Crazy credits
      Unlearn [appears in movie's closing shot, instead of "The End"]
    • Connections

    The irony

    The irony of having rage against the machine playing during rowdy neo nazi scenes for white supremacy characters is hilarious. Do they understand what that band stands for?
