Trivia
Most of the script was improvised by the cast. Only Claudia Schiffer's part was fully scripted. See more »Goofs
Dean is described repeatedly as a "star point guard." Actually, like the actor (a star basketball player in real life), Dean is a shooting guard who sometimes also plays small forward. See more »Alternate Versions
U.S. version was cut from its original NC-17 rating to be re-rated R. See more »Connections

The biggest problem with this film is simply that the white characters are portrayed with more couth than their "Real Life Counterparts". Look around at WHO(meaning white youth) embrace the Hip Hop culture 1)undereducated,rhetoric spouting revolutionary wannabees 2) lazy minded,material driven, "instant gratification junkies" 3) simple minded sheep who have such identity problems that they assimilate into a culture which basically despises their existence...AND THOSE ARE THEIR GOOD POINTS
As far as the film goes, I watched it all the way through, hoping something would happen.Finally something did: the film ended and I got to watch something else.
