    • Trivia
      The real Ron Stallworth had originally wanted Denzel Washington to play him, but was ecstatic to find out his son got the role.
    • Goofs
      If the members want to hide the real purpose of "The Organization", there is no explanation to show a newspaper advertising with the name "Ku Klux Klan".
    • Quotes

      Ron Stallworth: [answering a phone call from Duke] Mr. Duke, I'm so sorry we didn't get to spend more one-on-one time together.

      David Duke: Well, that was a just a tragedy. I had just met those heroic brothers in the cause.

      Flip Zimmerman: Heroic.

      Ron Stallworth: Yeah. And the chapter is just shaken at the core.

      David Duke: Oh.

      Ron Stallworth: Yeah. And poor Connie, right? I mean, not only does she lose her husband, but...

      Flip Zimmerman: Poor Connie.

      Jimmy Creek: Connie's going away.

      Flip Zimmerman: We feel bad for Connie.

      Ron Stallworth: [continuing] ... she's looking at serious prison time.

      David Duke: My God. And then there was that Nigger detective. Basically...

      [the officers laugh]

      Ron Stallworth: [to the other officers] Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut up, shut up.

      Ron Stallworth: Those goddamn coloreds they sure know how to spoil a celebration.

      Jimmy Creek: [to Flip] Hey, you're getting me in trouble.

      David Duke: [to Ron] Christ, you can say that again.

      Ron Stallworth: Those goddamn coloreds sure know how to spoil a celebration. Can I ask you a question, sir?

      David Duke: Shoot.

      Ron Stallworth: That Nigger detective, did you ever did you ever get his name?

      David Duke: No. I don't think I...

      Ron Stallworth: Are-uh you sure you don't know who he is? Are-uh you absolutely sure? 'Cause that Nigga, coon, gator bait, spade, spook, Sambo, spear-chucking jungle bunny, Mississippi wind chime...

      David Duke: Wind chime?

      Ron Stallworth: [continuing] ... detective is Ron Stallworth, you racist, peckerwood, redneck, inch worm, needle-dick motherfucker!

      [Ron hangs up, leaving Duke bewildered]

    Wonderfully angry
    Disturbing and infuriating.

    Wonderfully acted by John David Washington, Adam Driver and Topher Grace.

    It gets your blood boiling and makes you wanna do something.

    It's also full of great comedic moments and one hell of an ending
