    • Trivia
      To date, this is the last movie directed by Penelope Spheeris to get a wide theatrical release. She said in an interview that working with the Weinsteins on this made her want to stop making mainstream Hollywood movies. She thought, "How the fuck did I get here? What am I doing? I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to work in this movie business anymore."
    • Goofs
      When Patrick Ewing throws Darryl onto the court, Patrick Ewings jacket keeps disappearing and reappearing.
    • Quotes

      Darryl: They killed my baby. He got involved with that whole east coast-west coast thing, and being that he is so Chicago they BOTH banged on him!

    my mom laughed 'til she cried
    casting marlon wayans in this movie was such an intelligent thing to do. he is such a funny guy on the screen, and it's hard not to laugh when he starts having his little love, side effect and job problems. the movie on the whole is really funny, even my mom laughed 'til she cried when she saw it, and believe me, she rarely does so. oh, i nearly forgot, the tim character ( matthew lillard ), why can't he exist irl??? *smiles*
