- Tre (Cuba Dooding Jr) witnesses Ricky's (Morris Chestnut) tragic shooting, leaving him in utter shock and horror.
Watch Boyz N' The Hood Now: AAN.SonyPicture...
BOYZ N THE HOOD is the critically acclaimed story of three friends growing up in a South Central Los Angeles neighborhood, and of street life where friendship, pain, danger and love combine to form reality. "The Hood" is a place where drive-by shootings and unemployment are rampant. But it is also a place where harmony coexists with adversity, especially for three young men growing up there: Doughboy (Ice Cube), an unambitious drug dealer; his brother Ricky (Morris Chestnut), a college-bound teenage father; and Ricky's best friend Tre (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), who aspires to a brighter future beyond "The Hood." In a world where a trip to the store can end in death, the friends have diverse reactions to their bleak surroundings. Tre's resolve is strengthened by a strong father (Larry Fishburne)who keeps him on the right track. But the lessons Tre learns are put to the ultimate test when tragedy strikes close to home, and violence seems like the only recourse.
“That’s their problem Tre. You MY son you MY problem”
He was so real for that
He has a point, even if Trey gets revenge with doughboy, doughboys mom will still hate his guts and now Trey has a target on his back also.
Yeah but the nigga was there when ricky got shot and they technically brothers too . At the end of the day, imma feel ANGER AS FUCK
That shows you he ain’t give a damn about ricky
@@gabbykiana2773He understood he was mad, that's reasonable. He just didn't want his son to throw his life away.
@@kevonsidek9737 no he did care Furious cared about all his ghetto brothers and sisters, its just that he knew even if Trey got his revenge that would not bring Ricky back and as someone else said Trey would then have a target on his back snd would lose his only son that just didnt seen worth it
"Your my only son and I'm not losing you to no Bullshit" Such a good line too
Mad teary-eyed when he say that.
That’s my line later in life and now with my daughter they’re my problem and until I say so they’re always gonna be my problem.
Because I love them no matter what.
This shows how Furious is a good parent
Every young man’s parents in 1914 and 1939: First time?
Ever since I watched this as a kid I knew that Furious would become Morpheus, find Neo, and battle The Twins with a sword and automatic Glock simultaneously, while protecting Trinity and the Key Maker, and eventually fight an upgraded Agent & survive, all in the process of saving Humanity, while his Son Tre would end up being manipulated by D Piddy
The look on Furious's face when he came in the house, he's been mentally prepared for this moment ever since Tre was a young boy.
Yeah, the way Furious takes his tie off and the look on his face just says, "I knew this was going to happen. I hoped it wouldn't come to happen, but it did, and now I've got to protect my son."
That could have turned Tre into a complete killer after seeing Ricky get shot like that… he gone always that moment in his head
He was actually getting ready to eat some BBQ!!!
Deep af 😢
Every father prepares for this ✅
Ricky's mother being in denial and trying to wake him up is so heartbreaking. Apparently that's a genuine reaction people may have to suddenly losing a loved one. They try to wake them because their brain can't comprehend that they're dead and can't be brought back.
when my mother had a sudden heart attack and was on life support in the ER, I kept trying to wake her up after she flatlined. I was 23 years old, and of course I knew what death was, but my brain refused to accept that she was dead
Man bunp her!!! She only did that because be was a meal ticket. She didn’t love him in general. She is the worst mom ever
The fact Doughboy died 2 weeks later…
Fr yo!!!!
How?
@@Deadmen615they slid back on dough boy. Bro caught 3 bodies that night someone had to take a trip.
@@Deadmen615You think Doughboy was gonna walk down three shooters and get away with it? Lol. His opps spun the block and killed him.
Reading that and seeing him disappear nearly ruined a 7 year old me
I feel so sorry for Doughboy when Brenda is beating him. He's trying to comfort her and she's blaming him. She never knew how much Doughboy stuck up and protected Ricky. She was too busy hating his father and him to realize it!
To be fair Ricky could have been alive if Dough kept his own nose clean.
@@thecappeningchannel515They went after Ricky for talking shit they said that specifically.
@@thecappeningchannel515you watch the movie at all? It was Ricky talking shit that was why they were fucking with them
@@Mootux ok. Havent seen the movie for a long time.
She was looking at him as the relation to all things gone wrong in their lives, and how she feels he's become the thing willingly she never wanted for him, or really for either of them... Both Ricky and Doughboy. It's sad. The biggest problem was probably there was not that fatherly nurturing from the onset. This is where the streets and dog eat dog becomes your lesson, and street icons become the father. I have a family member just like this, and to this day is still running when he doesn't have to. You just have to bury it at some point in your life and move on with the blessing at hand.
You can tell Doughboy loved Ricky. Even though they fought, they were still brothers.
Hell yea it always gets me when he drops his gun after he sees Ricky 😢
Fighting is just what siblings do. No one else was allowed to do that to Ricky or Doughboy would be right there defending him.
No shit
Brothers fight all the time. He would never want to see his little brother killed that sht hurt him and I’m sure he felt responsible too this movie lowkey sad and depressin asl
Oh no doubt, he always tried to look out for his brother. Even after the fight, when he seen those fools driving around, he tried to go out there to help him, but he was too late. Once again Ricky's naivety got him in another jam, which cost him his life. I felt so bad for Doughboy, yeah he made bad choices in life, but was a good guy deep down. He always tried to look out for his brother, & his mom & baby's mom just lashed out @ him like he killed him. Sadly he met a similar demise.
Sometimes, a toxic mother does way more damage than an absent father. And now BOTH sons are gone
And grandson will grow up in the same
Ima single mother, and I absolutely agree.
Yup. And at the end of the day, she had to bury BOTH of her sons.
Both sons are gone because the father abandoned their children.
What happened to doughboy
My 62 yr old mother watched this movie with me once dubbed in Spanish on HBO Latino , she cried at these scenes…especially when doughboy said “I don’t have a brother no more”
I mean folks don't talk about this movie enough when it comes to the acting displayed in it. Every bit of acting in this one scene was phenomenal. Another movie that deserved a ton of awards. Mom's acting pure top-notch.
It's because menace came out and blew it out the water menace was the real this was indeed the after school special
Pretty messed up how their mama blamed Doughboy straight away.
She hated Doughboy, and the fact that she blamed him for his death is BS.
@@readysetactioncommentariesbruh fr. Why the hell would doughboy kill Ricky just because they had a fight ? Brothers fight everyday all day
@readysetactioncommentaries She hated him cuz if was obvious that he was a splitting image of his father. As she mentioned earlier in the film his father wasn't sh*t, & neither was he. So he really had no father figure in his life. But he always tried to look out for Ricky.
@@Toppshotta4she blamed him because of the life he lived, but he really had no choice because she refused to be a mother to him.
@@burtonerrny6704Most black mothers suck at being mothers period and that is due to their high levels of narcissism on the spectrum scale. Don't ever buy into the leftist garbage of 80/20 just to say "men men blah blah". They historically received eugenics for a reason. 😒🙄😑
Ice cube shoulda won a Oscar for this scene alone. Very emotional and realistic
Damn right he should have!
As he himself has said, hes not part of the hollywood in crowd, so yea, fat chance of him getting what he deserves. He doesnt play their fucked up game of agendas and panders to no one
Same with Laurence fishburn but he played a responsible black father so you know he wasn't getting one the same reason Denzel didnt get his Oscar for Malcolm X they dont want to see strong black men
The 90s was wild
Just like in Snowfall when Franklin said y'all ain't going to win no Oscar shit till this day they never did
As a father, it really hit home in the dialogue between Tre and Furious. He knows Tre is getting ready to put himself in danger and talks him down even for a moment. Then Tre sneaks out of the house to join the revenge mission. I can’t imagine the fear Furious must have felt. Even a hardened Army vet shed a tear because he could’ve lost his son in all that madness. Top notch acting all around in this movie.
True...but notice in the scene in the car when Furious is rolling the Chinese stress balls it is his way of communicating to son all the lessons he taught. It's what made Trae realize to get out of the car.
@@royaltyblessed2454really? I never noticed that. I’m just thinking Tre has good instincts and decided to hop out the car
The moral of this scene is, next time, take your brother to the damn store to buy some cornmeal
@@yell0wberry I believe it’s don’t fight fire with fire because karma bites, HARD.
@@laurynalana1876 Yep, as Doughboy found out 2 weeks later.
When death is near, it does get quiet and slow around you. Thank God, I outlived it. 🙏🏾
Ricky getting shot and the family reacting to it is one of the saddest scenes in Cinema history I have ever seen😢😔
This scene prove why fathers are extremely important
when a mother says, "give me the mother fucking gun," it doesn't hit quite the same as when a father says to you, "give me the mother fucking gun."
If he a real one, you listen to him. Period.
@@josecasillas4081lol okay
This whole movie
@@josecasillas4081 true and being nurtured by the dad doesn't quite hit compared to the mom
Emphasis on “good fathers” tho; an abusive dad can make you absolutely vicious!
Furious was the epitome of a real father. Today's younger generation needs a father like Furious.
Morpheus was better...
Real dads like Furious & James Evans.
My dads like this irl, not a book smart guy but a damn wise street smart man and every time he tells if something happens with you and your friends but it doesn’t involve you don’t ever do no stupid bullshit over something that didn’t happen to you
Furious puts me n mind of my dad.
I agree 100%.
This was the most unique role Laurence Fishburne played. Very iconic. What a father should be.
Patient yet stern, logical and wise. The epitome of a strong influence in a boys life
Fantastic actor, wish he got a big Oscar hit for himself.
Crazy how young he looks here
Those scenes with his long eyes. Under-appreciated actor, with strong minimalist talents.
@@parkerthompson3447 Furious became a teenage father.
Seeing the brother in the wheel slowly roll over to see Rick and starting to hyperventilate is crazy work this movie is a masterpiece I wouldn’t trade all the money in the world for this movie
One of the saddest moments in any film. A good kid with his whole life ahead of him cut down because of hood nonsense. 😢
I just noticed this, Trey ran to Ricky’s aide immediately, didn’t have a gun or a vest, but he still charged in anyway, good friend
That’s a solid, outstanding point! Combine that with the racist cop he deals with twice in his life. While we’re cheering for Tre’s future in the end credits getting out of Los Angeles, I do wonder how the story would have worked out if you see Tre after college as a rookie cop.
That girl screamed right into that baby's ear and scared the shit out of him. 😂
Poor little man
I think that was the way to get the kid crying. Remember this was filmed in a time when certain protections were not in place for children!
@jamiegumm4398 It also might've been a "lost in the moment" of acting and the reactions were all so good they kept in.
Someone said she had to pinch the kid
She’s beyond ridiculous
"My heart goes out to the family, but that's their problem. You my son, you my problem." It may sound insensitive, but that was some real ish.
What Furious meant was that he wasn't legally responsible for Ricky because he wasn't his father. But Tre was his responsibility because that was his underaged son.
@@MisterB2eternity Not legally, morally
@@MisterB2eternitythat’s literally what dude said bruh not that hard to comprehend what he meant 😂😂😂😂
@@dozer7028 I was responding to someone else but obviously they signed off of this site.
Heartbreaking how Ricky was on the ground crying and grieving in pain, good actor!
This 8 minute scene made me tear up. This is a great scene by great actors. Boyz N The Hood is an all time classic.
The story of Lloyd Avery (the shooter) is crazy. He couldnt let the character go and ended up living like him in real life
homie what
@@UnownDepthhe portrayed a gangster in a few films and became a gangster outside of the films. Inevitably ended up being killed.
For the longest time apparently noone knee who he was.
He was killed by his satanic cell mate in jail. He was actually trying to get his life together.
@@seleciabrown5044Not only the guy was satanic. But from what I heard, Lloyd became Christian so whoever paired them up deserved to be kicked in the shins.
This scene killed me. When he hugged his mother so tight, and she just started hitting him.
He didn’t hug her tight that’s a reach lol
The way Tre screamed "Ricky" @ 1:10 always sends shivers up my spine.
I can’t stop laughing every time I see it because of the memes
It’s like he knew it was over
No......not funny@@Jedi-Of-The-Republic
Hits harder when you have a cousin that died the same way. Even had the same name too.
R.I.P. John Singleton and Lloyd Avery II
God, the mom is so infuriatingly good at being detestable. First she completely ignores Doughboy, pushing him out of the way and asking Tre what happened first. Then when he finally gets her attention, she immediately blames him and hits him.
Doughboy even had the decency to try to get them to take the baby out of the room with all the screaming and blood and then they act like he's the problem.
She needs a straight jacket or something.
"Give me the mother fucking gun Trey." Best quote from a father.
First he tried to talk him down like a dad, then he put his foot down like a father.
@@burtonerrny6704 I also like how we subtly tested Tre to be like "well I'm here, shoot me" and the fact that he read Tre's hesitation (which he should thank God) was all he needed to move forward to the next piece of dialogue (yes, I feel for Ricky; but I can't let you throw yourself into a suicide mission, please give me the gun, damnit give me the effing gun", thanks, I love you, now go shower).
The look on doughboy face says it all. You could tell he was hurt.
@K 2:14
If I were him I would just leave the mom alone and try to pack stuff and leave
@@Jaquan350 same for me.
Doughboy had to be bringing money in to keep the bills paid, getting the money from being a drug dealer, why else would this horrible mother have him still leaving there when she obviously can't stand him. Yeah Doughboy was definitely hurt about his brother.
@@jasminejordan 2:27. That's the face I made when my stepfather died of cancer this year while I was deployed.
RIP John Singleton. You made a great movie. This scene will stick with me forever.
Absolutely loved this scene. I did think it was weird that Tre’s dad shrugged off Ricky’s death as “their problem”. Especially since he basically watched Ricky grow up just across his house since Rick was a boy.
True, but I interpreted it as Furious being a realist. That's not his son. He's always made it clear that his only real responsibility in this world is to his son, Tre.
I dont think its that hes shrugging it off as unimportant.... What is of the upmost importance of a father though, is his own childs life ❤
I don't think it was like that, he was emphasizing that his son is his world and his problem
I don't think he had the time to acknowledge it at that moment...he was trying to reel Tre back in...
His point was killing the killers won't bring tre back and will only ruin his sons life as he will either be arrested for his crime or be sucked into hood life permanently
3:32 The little boy was really scared by the acting of the girl 😂
I’ve been in this exact situation, twice. The first time he was gone and we took him home. My second friend died on the way to the hospital. I put this somewhere in the back of my mind but once in a while it creeps out. Stay blessed everyone.
(Bows deeply) my comfort for your loss, warrior. (Stands up) i cant imagine how you felt in that moment…or how you feel now. I hope your friends enjoy their hereafter.
May they rest in everlasting paradise. We have more work to do down here, before joining them.
Move
@@hush4522warrior?
Thugs gonna thug
@@nowirehangers2815 ??? Uh, what?
Very intense scene when Ricky is brought into the house and the women see that he was killed. Terrific acting...Every bit of this movie is a life lesson, such a timeless classic.
@Tosha you really think that?
How ignorant of you.
Ain’t no way all that slapping wasn’t real… too intense to be “just choreographed”…
It happens and it seems like the dynamic of the family in this movie. It’s sad for sure. My grandmother was weird like that. She adored my uncle and in my grandmother’s eyes, he could do no wrong even though he was neglectful and a completely useless idiot most of his life. My mother gave my grandmother a home and grandchildren to love her. My grandmother’s way of saying thank you was to always try to backstab my mom and spread false rumors about her.
Love this movie 👊🏼
When she starts scratching her chest that how you know its real… those are real feelings
Doughboy didn’t even start the issue, he was just doing what a big brother is supposed to do, which is look out for your younger brother. Doughboy has always had Rick’s back since they were kids, Rick made the fatal mistake of splitting up because 2 heads will always have more of an advantage than one. The saddest part isn’t ricks death, but the treatment of Doughboy who is actually innocent.
Doughboys gang affiliation got Ricky killed.
What makes this worse is how Ricky was shot. The first ended any hope for a football career and the second ended his life. Also him hanging out with Crips while wearing a blue jacket with a big C on it of course was gonna make Bloods hate him.
@@americanlonewolf1390 You forgot to mention that Ricky wasn’t paying attention (i.e. Lottery ticket), and also stated “They’re just fooling around. They ain’t gonna do nothing.” So the same individuals (aka gang members), who used an Uzi, shooting up the air, were not going to do anything? Smh, make that make sense. Ricky was 98% responsible for his own demise, given how careless he was. When I came to this country, my dad told me not to wear certain colors.
@@Nigerian-born_AmericanRicky didn’t have that street/hood mentality. All he focused on was playing football. I don’t see how he’s to blame for his death when the guys started to mess with him first.
@@michealbanksjr.3630 Neither was I, when I came to this country. However, I heeded my dad’s warnings of what not to wear. Moreover, Trey wasn't a street dude, and wasn't foolish enough to ignore the dangers aroung him when being hunted down by people with weapons.
I have lived this scene multiple times with ODs and gun shots. Now that I am out of that life I have to come back and watch stuff like this to remind myself and keep me grounded when I am struggling with being a dad and a man. But now that I am older I found out I cannot sleep at night even when I am tired. With a full time job I average 4-5 hrs a night if I am lucky. I am going to try and see a doctor for anxiety instead of drinking or smoking to sleep. trauma is real.
6:08 If i was a father and have a kid and he is doing drugs and goes to crime. I do the same thing and have the same words as Furious. I call this a real dad! ❤❤❤
Can we talk about the brilliance of Tyra Ferrell? Her pain as a mother, she represented all those mothers who lost their sons. She makes you feel this scene!
Absolutely!!
Both bad acting ... You're high
Absolutely. Especially since she is processing the grief in a very real way. Most people would go into shock and it wouldn't hit them instantly in most cases. It makes it much more tragic for how insanely real this scene is.
@@tacotom3492like you could do any better 🥴
Have you watched the movie?
Shoutout to Morris Chesnut having all this commotion and sadness going on and he has to play dead the entire time. 😂
Facts
No, they really shot him then bought him back to life after the scene ended…😂
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
@@woollywoolwoolzguess that's why it's called "black magic"
Facts. It would be sooo hard for me to pull something like this off, lol.
It always bugged me, Doughboy was grieving too, and just needed a hug too. He legit thought he was getting one, but his Mom just flipped on him instead, and blamed him for the death of his brother.
I always thought Doughboys story was the most tragic, because his mother clearly hated him just because he wasn’t Ricky’s fathers son.
Yet he did the best he could to be a good brother, and protect his little brother, despite the favouritism, and despite the mental abuse he was enduring as a child. Of course he’s going to grow up rugged, when the only adult person who should love him, doesn’t. Yet you can see Doughboy is a good guy/ kid, developed an attitude of having nobody lookout for him.
Real
I partly think Brenda favored Rock so much because he was an NFL dreamboat since childhood while Doughboy was always getting in trouble. Years later, Rick is a college football prospect which could take him to the NFL. She may have saw Ricky as a ticket out of their crime ridden neighborhood. I think Brenda loves Doughboy deep down, but clearly doesn't like him. Though he didn't directly cause Ricky's death, he is somewhat to blame due to his affiliation with the Crips and Ferris and his thugs were Bloods.
3:32 They ALL ate the scenery from this point on in this sequence. Amazing. Always has me crying
Both women in particular are so real 😢
I have trauma with the scene where they carry Ricky’s body into the house. I was watching this movie with my girl at the time, and when this scene went down, she said “no, shut it off” and I didn’t respond because I was so invested in the scene. Then she SCREAMED “SHUT IT OFF!!!!!” And I looked over and she was in tears and had her head in her hands. It matched the intensity of Ricky’s sister and it scared the shit out of me. I’ll never see this scene the same way after that. Fucked me up. She was so clearly traumatized by this scene
I can definitely understand. I have that same reaction to the Cleo death scene in Set it Off
I think Furious might be one of the most realistic depictions of a father. I see some people act like he is too hard on Tre but that is realistic. Furious knows this situation couldn't be more serious and he is trying to be sympathetic to Tre but he is also making Tre know that if he wants to get revenge right then and there he is going to have to kill his dad first because Furious isnt letting him leave the house with that gun. I am a dad of 2 boys and i would be the same way. Basically like '"Im sorry for your friend, i really am, but you aint fucking leaving this house and youll have to kill me to do so bc you are going to ruin your life our get yourself killed over some bullshit." The minute Tre listens is when Furious showers him with sympathy and love. Laurence should have won an Oscar
There's another side to the script-writing though. Tre jumps out the window five minutes later. That means Furious' efforts have to fall short. When people say he wasn't sympathetic enough, they're right. The kid just saw his best friend murdered. You don't give him an aggressive speech then tell him to go clean up. But Singleton had to make Furious' efforts a little misguided because if he sits Tre down and has a real heart-to-heart we don't get the car scene. It's subtle genius to make his speech fall a little wide of the mark.
I remember almost tearing up when I first watched this scene, idk why but Doughboys mom hugging him then all the sudden smacking him saying “YOU DID THIS!” always hit hard for me
Same man. It feels so real and emotional. It’s crazy
Brenda was definitely not in sound mind at that point. She probably blamed him because she had just broken up a fight a few minutes ago. That and Doughboy's gang life helped led to Ricky death. It's also strongly suggested Brenda doesn't like Doughboy.
The first gunshot took Ricky's football career.
The second gunshot took Ricky's life.
Stolen
You can actually die from a leg shot if it hits an artery as well.
it was a white supremacist right?
Ikr
no nfl career or college life so sad he wanted a great life For his son and family 😢 😞
The music, that wind instrument... Makes this scene 10x more powerful.
4:28 I find it heartbreaking she blames Dough and at the same time he’s trying to comfort his mother and grieve for his brother
Fr but if ricky had just listened to tre he would still be alive
One of Laurence fishburnes best roles. This is the role that comes up when I see him in any movie, he’s shows what a real father should be.
He was awesome in this movie.
This scene was sad. Ricky was a senior in high school and he just wanted to provide for his son.
Yeah, Brenda tried to make Ricky out to be a saint but he had a kid and was shacking up in her house. She apparently didn't teach him nothing. She treated doughboy like crap ever since he was a kid because she chose to lay up with his daddy. I'm sorry but I didn't feel any sympathy for her character
In real life Laurence Fishburne and Cuba Gooding Jr were born 7 years apart.
Aka 7 years is a lot of time to mature....shit between 23 and 30..there's a big difference
Is that why in dont be a menace the father is younger than him???🤣🤣
@@DuNs54 I hated the fact they made a parody out of that like c'mon now Boyz N The Hood is a cult classic but I can't complain.
LoL we still know who's the oldest tho
People don't even understand how much in the game doughboy really was we know he hurting like a mf but notice how trey looked more affected bc to doughboy it's part of the game 🗣️
This is heartbreaking on SO many levels
The way the sound drops off and u just hear birds and children playing " wicked
Kudos to every actor involved in this scene!!!! One of the best performances in cinematic history!!!!!
The fact that his brother Was Shot After they fought Can damage A Person forever
Unfortunately, forever for him was only two weeks
True. Seen it happen myself.
Yep…thinking if you just would’ve let the shit slide would those boys still have ill enough feelings to kill him.
Hence the old saying "Discretion is the better part of valor ", I think knowing that He was under His Elder Brother Doughboy's protection as Doughboy was affiliated with the Crips gave Ricky a sense of being untouchable, I also think Ricky probably felt that since He wasn't directly involved in "the life" they wouldn't go after/try to kill Him
This was the saddest part of the movie, and sadly enough days still dont go by without life being taken
If it makes anyone feel better, the max effective range of a sawed off shotgun is 15-20 yards. Using the same military techniques to gauge distance from targets, he appears to be roughly 30-35 yards away from the car. While an extra 10 yards may seem trivial, the accuracy of that particular weapon is significantly reduced.
Ricky would have taken a few pellets, sure, but there's no way the grouping of his wounds would be so tight and fatal.
Not being a killjoy, as I genuinely love this movie. How Fishburne wasn't nominated for an Oscar is absolutely criminal; he portrayed the kind of strong, disciplined-yet loving father most men could only dream of having.
A few things. After being shot and placed into a vehicle, Ricky would’ve been driven to a local hospital, not driven home to be placed on the couch. Also Laurence and Cuba look more like brothers than father and son. Perhaps because they’re only a few years apart in real life.
One of the most stressful scenes of my childhood.
This was some elite parenting. Damn good father. Morpheus killed this role.

@@chadrobert4375 yes true
One of the most chilling scenes ever created
That haunting feeling of helplessness to stop him from being shot even after I already saw the movie. It feels real because stuff like this goes down every month if not every week.
shit happens
This scene has lived in my head rent free for decades.
I don't know why, but the way Cube says, "I didn't do nothin' momma", always stayed with me
Watching this scene again, I’m crying because this entire build-up and all actors in the film make it feel so intense. Another reason I cry is because this was so beautifully done
This scene wrecked me as a kid. Even more now that im an adult
@@romanllamas5544 Right? Way different being older. Honestly Ricky’s mom reminds me of mine because I could hear her reaction being just like that. That’s what made me cry more to be honest, it makes you think what if you were in that situation and you weren’t even gang involved in that kind of environment. All because a guy was upset about Ricky annoyed and that gang member started it bumping into him on purpose and Ricky didn’t even say anything crazy. It’s pretty dark when you are older and realize all of that
Literally in tears writing this comment...
😒
Ricky's death was never Doughboy's fault. The Bloods kept trying to punk them for no reason. Then they went too far. I hated the mother more.
Unfortunately a part of what got Ricky killed is being Doughboy's younger brother, they didn't just do it because of the argument/words that were exchanged between Ricky and Ferris the night before, they also did it to send a message/warning to Doughboy
The acting in this movie was incredible and realistic
I was 2 when this came out and the more older I get watching this, the more emotional it is because I’m a parent and I don’t want my kids to end up like this or be in any of these situations. Or something similar. At work right now and this clip almost made me cry lol
im 23 and im teary eyed watching this
We need more fathers like this.
Dough boy knew, and no matter how much brothers fight, they always have eachothers back. No. Matter. What!!!!
Furious is the father that doughboy needed in his life.
All facts
Amen!
I love how Ice Cube played completely opposite characters in Friday and here, in Friday, Craig had a daddy to mentor him and stop him from using a gun on Debo, but here, Dough Boy didn’t have a father figure in his life and his mom kept just seeing her husband every time she looked at him, so he had no guidance which led to him getting killed later on, this was such a good movie but so heartbreaking towards the end
He was also younger in this by about 8 yrs!!
When Furious and Tre speak while the silence and you hear the sirens in the background is chilling for me.
Say what you want about Cuba Gooding Jr but this movie really showed how amazing of an actor he his.
You mean Cuba Dooding Jr.

I was 23 when this came out. This scene....I cried like a baby. I've watched this movie probably 10 more times since that first time. Still breaks my heart, especially cuz this shit just keep on happening.
@lxlthr4058 you're kinda like the same age my older Uncle Vincent is the same age as you actually when Boyz in the hood came out in 91 aka 1991.
I was born 1991... I bought this DvD back in 2007... I cant describe my feeling towards this movie/time
@@Toku91so 1991 was you born but when's your birthday & plus my older brother was born in 1981 but he was 10 years old when Boyz in the hood came in 91 aka 1991.
@@zionagnew6250 I aint gonna lie mate.. 4 20 1991
The same age the director was when he made that movie.
I remember this scene. It must have been very hard for Tre to not go after the guys who killed his friend, but his dad was right. He didn't want him to end up like his friend Chris or Ricky.
“be careful with him, watch his head, don’t hurt him”
“he’s dead”
😭
Cube was incredible in this movie! The entire cast was equally brilliant. I still love this film!
This movie was ahead of it's time . This film should be shown in all campuses . I'm not even African American. This sends a strong message to all father's how to teach there sons. This is a film we all need to live by with how divided our country is currently
Country is divided by rich and poor, haves and have nots. The solution to start is get rid of the poverty and you wouldn't have needless victims. Look at that neighborhood in crenshaw, yet just a few miles away is rich, plushed, gated communities! Black poverty communities are what the white communitites use to be like in the 30s, 40s, 50s (gangters, crooked police, dilapidated neighborhoods, the greedy evil running roughshod over the weak) Only thing change is the whites got the funding, loans, investments of flush federal money to get out and the government systemically left the blacks to stay there to rot and fend for themselves! Make it make sense. It's not rocket science to this.
Great movie and it does teach a valuable lesson, but this country is divided because we have people in this country that teach their kids that a person is not human because of the color of their skin
Perfectly said. The importance of a father in the lives of their children cannot be overstated.
I agree. Its actually a terrifying film. Anyone who actually sits down and watches this film without any distractions will 100% feel the impact of the morale of the story. It stays with you forever. Regardless of your race.
@@joey1335or ya know crips n bloods, lol.
This acting is on another level everything from Ice Cube and Tyra Ferrell’s insane back-and-forth to the exchange in the street up to the house between Laurence Fishburne and Nia Long. God bless and rest in peace to John Singleton, one of the most prolific film directors to ever exist.
when fathers are important in these situations
"Go CleanYourself Up, Go On" 😔😔
The mums acting in this scene is so so good. Perfect emotion shown for the son she believed in.
This scene right here is the greatest acting performance by Fishburne in his whole career. Furious- until Ike Turner- was his best. Stern, strict, rooted in reality yet all of it tinged with love for his only son. Furious could teach his son how to be a good man because HE was a good man. Brilliant performance, and until Ike Turner his best.
Brenda's Crying Rage is Tremendous Acting. It makes you feel that she was Ricky's Mother Forreal
😒 Yeah its just too bad she never tried to be Doughboy’s…
To think that the mom actually thought doughboy would kill his brother, SMH WOW
She didn't think he literally killed him, she believed the life he was caught up in killed Ricky.
She didn’t think Doughboy killed Ricky. She was blaming him for Ricky getting shot because of Doughboys lifestyle.
Blaming your own brother for your own brothers death is sick to my stomach
And that's the real tragedy of the film/story is that Doughboy did inadvertently get Ricky killed because of His affiliation with the Rollin' 60's Crips, Ferris and His fellow Crenshaw Mafia/Blood gang members killing Ricky for "talking shit the other night" was a Red-Herring, they also did it to get back at/send a message to Doughboy, which was basically "We killed your Brother, you better watch yourself or you'll be next......"
This is one of the saddest scenes in a movie ever Ricky had it all man
I love how when doughboy saw Ricky be dropped his gun on the floor and it gave a vibe like a real life vibe… this movie is absolutely amazing and very well written and we need more movies like this in our era
Heartbreaking scene, it gets to me every time I see it.
Yeah, and it happens every day in many places. So many young men with bright futures needlessly gunned down and for what?
🗣Das Rite!💯😒⏳️🚀🔥🗽🔥
Love how Furious just gets to the point as soon as he sees Trey with the gun....no panicking or over questioning...just is like, " So what you gonna do now..."...present him with both choices and outcomes...
This was some incredible acting.
Such a great film. Everyone was so good in this.
The way reality was presented was so expertly and creatively done. Like several other, very wise people said in the comments; this is why fathers *_are needed._*
Parents having “favorites” is damaging fr
The sad and infuriating thing about all this is that it was over something very petty.
i think this is how black people resolve differences.
@@RolandRonald-r1zthat's racist
@@AngelsandWolves1 yes it is. so what?
@@RolandRonald-r1zyour statement cant be a blanket statement for ALL or most blacks, since this is not how every single one would resolve conflict.
A more accurate statement would be: "This is how conflict is resolved in ghettos/hoods everywhere, black or not." Many young white, asian, mexican, black, etc. deliquent would react in the same way, but in this specific setting (south central), there's primarily black-on-black killings.
9 times outta 10, it always is!!!!!!
Imagine if ricky and doughboy had a father like tre did.
They both would’ve been alive
Ricky and DB would've been set straight since their childhood. DB wouldn't have been on the streets and Ricky could've been playing football. Tre would still have his friends.
Believe it or not, furious was planning to hook up with their mom. Only problem, she talked to much.
Who would believe there is only a meager 7-year difference between Larry Fishburne and Cuba Gooding Jr., yet they totally pull off the father-son relationship?! 👍🏻👍🏻
3:33 - the scream makes it more sadder 😭😭😭
Ricky’s football signified his ambition, and that he had something to look forward to for his future. I find it sad when a brother actually wants to succeed and better himself in life that it gets cut short due to BS.
