Moving had me exhausted last week but I'm backkkkkkkkk!!!! See ya tomorrow 😊
Okay love can’t wait 😛
Ima need more content. And more frequently too, lol... keep up the great work. Your vids make commutes much better
Aaahhhh yesss one of my guilty pleasure classics Black movies of all time 😍😍😍💕and my man Caine tho 😮💨 but the title couldn’t have said it any better! Can’t wait to watch the commentary tomorrow sis! Congratulations on your new home!!! 🎈🍾🎉
I hope you had a good move! Moving sucks 😂😂
Chile, Jada was looking good here. 😍
"My grandpa asked me once if I cared if I lived or died-I do...but now it’s too late...” Some of the most haunting words ever uttered in a movie.😰😭
Mixed in with the slowing heartbeat and final gun shot sound
I always find it disturbing when he tells his grandparents he doesn't know. You don't know if you wanna live or not?!
@@matxalenc8410it makes sense because if you have been through that much trauma since a young age, all you see around you is murder, drug addicts, poverty, etc. He lost his parents at an early age and being raised by elderly people is not the same as being raised by your actual parents. Plus they were old and the only family he really had and I’m sure they wouldn’t live much longer. He probably felt alone, confused, abandoned and thought what do I have to look forward to in life or live for. Yeah, I can totally understand why he didn’t know whether living was actually better than dying.
He should’ve listen to his grandpa
Y’all remember also hell is the destination for the path Caine took no matter how good he is play wit my head a bit
I felt horrible when Shareef died. He wasn’t even in the streets or up to Caine’s shenanigans. Prime example of “watch the company you keep”. Some people can really bring darkness directly into your life. As for Caine- it’s a shame he didn’t learn his lesson until it was too late. Had his whole life ahead of him and it ended so quickly
Sharif should have definitely spent time finding new friends who shared his life views instead of wasting that time trying to get Caine and the others to change their ways.
@@esjay-rh7wxI agree.
Seriously
true but he was about to leave them so I think that's why he kept trying , unfortunately that was his end.
@@getsugaallen6612 Yup.
Clifton Powell, the hardest working actor in Black cinema. If you say his name five times like Candyman he will appear in your movie.
Chile 🤣🤣🤣
What i love about him the most is that he’s not to big for the b & c list movies. He’s criminally underrated.
😂😂😂😂
@@therealmarlonbellamyYup.
😂😂😂
O-Dog started the self snitching movement 😂
Like 25 years ahead of his time
😂😂
Caine fell victim to peer pressure and soon learned that it's not all what it's cracked up to be. Just felt bad that he had to find out the hard way, but then again he knew his time was coming. Classic hood movie and great review, Nostalgia✌🏾
Sharif was the one who I really felt for. He wasn't even in the streets like that anymore, and didn't really have anything to do with the shit Caine was up to. He was leaving and had his whole life to look forward to.
It's just a movie😂
Ronnie was a real one she really cared about Caine also the part were he was robbing the dude and he said “Come on man we supposed to be brothers” really stuck with me because we are really destroying ourselves.💯
She was a grooming pedophile just like in real life
What chu trying to kick knowledge

Ronnie was a groomer 😂
The dude Cain beat up is always getting his ass beat in movies 💀💀💀💀💀
He’s the eternal typecast. If you look up the word typecast in the dictionary you’ll see his picture.
@@therealmarlonbellamy yep exactly 😂😂
The one time he shouldve gotten his ass beat but didn't was in the damn players club.
@@NG-ez2bx Yes.
@@NG-ez2bx yep definitely
O Dog was a straight menace. Some of y’all need to listen to ya parents sometimes because they do have discernment. Peer pressure is real and the people that you surround yourself with will make you or break you l.
Yup.
Right!!
This movie was disturbing for me as a kid and it still disturbing for me to watch as an adult. Talk about complete negative influence. Thank you again for another great review! ❤❤❤
I seen the beginning when they killed the couple of owners and that was enough for me as a preteen I never watched the full movie that scene had been into my head ever sense
I think the TH-camr missed tbe likely effects of Cain's childhood, raise in a toxic situation from birth, his father killed at the age of 10, and his mother dead from an overdose after that. A real person would need more than loving grandparents, a couple positive friends, and a couple of speeches from a friend's dad. A real person would need therapy. But most black Americans don't have access to it, and many don't even believe in it. Many of us still carry on the authoritarianism that was imposed on our ancestors by enslavers. Many of us tell our children to get right, or we're going to punish them - and that's it. No display of love or empathy. And lots of kids today are still getting beaten.
Cain needed a professional to help him deal with his negative feelings and his past and ongoing negative experiences. People who've had a significantly easier life have acted out and engaged in self-destructive behavior as an adult and/or as a child. And as a society, we need to do more than tell people what to do and what not to do. People with mental health issues (which is allmost everyone) need access to good, affordable (or free) mental health treatment.
people so soft it’s crazy 😂
@@julian-tq3ftsome ppl real lives aren’t toxic ❤ I agree I couldn’t watch it’s a sickening way of life to live
It's just a move😂
The fact cain was getting warnings... from his grandparents and his friends... he got two chances to live and change but unfortunately he got to comfortable with the life style .... he was playing with death literally 🤦🏾♀️... also i can wait for your commentary and review on bones ❤️🔥
That's how it usually happens
Never understood why everyone in the movie kinda celebrates Caine and tells him he has so much potential to live up to. I mean sure, every person breathing has potential, but Caine specifically wasn't shit! He wasn't working, he was running the streets, and was happy to be about that hood life. In many ways, he was worse than most people he was hanging with, so not sure why so many thought the world of him.
Honestly u right its not like he has college prospects he barely graduated high school and not even a part time job
Probably because of his traumatic childhood, they want better for him since he grew up without his parents. His negative choices are always excused until it's too late.
In street terms, Caine would be considered “good” since he was mostly about getting money and not about gunplay unless he had to. People like Caine can usually walk away from the streets and start over at some point. Guys like O-Dog and Wax on the other hand, the streets really is them. Those types will change only after doing some serious time. They usually have to go and joce for like 20-30 years.
Really!!
He was charismatic. There’s always ppl like that in the hood. And he genuinely was a decent guy just a product of his environment
I really feel bad for Shareef because he had his dad in his life but he died by proximity. It ain't enough to be around the mess and not have a hand in it, you gotta be all the way out the mix or you will always be guilty by association and can catch a stray! If you hang around bloods you're a blood as far as folks are concerned. I wonder how Shareefs dad took the news man smh. Also im guessing the movie BONES for the next video?! I think? Its been so long
The reason the ending is so sad to me is not only does it show how the consequences always catch up to you if you decide to live that life but it also shows subtly the cycle that is perpetuated by violence. Cain tried to leave but in his last act, chose to save the kid's life, but that kid then witnessed a whole massacre and will be scarred for the rest of his life and he now has a greater chance of growing up cold too.
Jada is so pretty in this movie. But yeah, Cain is someone I often refer to as the "Anti-Tre Styles".
She is but she 2 damn toxic towardz Will and married 2pac..... She gotta go
@@reedviiishe ain't marry pac😂 ???
Also since you’ve done 2 larenz Tate movies you gotta do “Why do fools fall in love?” Because that movie is ICONIC
YES! I second the motion!
@@mirisparkleslikewhoaI third it!
Yes!
I agree. She should review another Larenz Tate movie The Inkwell.
@@therealmarlonbellamyyes definitely the inkwell
Caine had people in his life that cared about him frfr example (grandparents who loved him) and took care of him. He always had people dropping gems on him to help him better his life despite his circumstances. He CHOSE to not listen and sew bad seeds!
Caine saw his grandfather as a bible thumber & Sharif as the annoying voice of reason.
Still his fault he died bc of his ignorance to reason
@@nehemiahYahawadah824 I agree. The movie made him look like the protagonist.
@@nehemiahYahawadah824Yup.
I’m just saying if Cain was scared and stuttering that bad during the interrogation, that alone proves he don’t need to be living that life if he can’t even lie. Man was straight out of high school and didn’t even attempt at life, just straight to criminal activity
O-dawg showing the tape around ain’t no different from the way these idiots put they crimes on social media or doing a vlad interview
Yup he wanted the attention and clout
@@smilealwaysnatasha3423And His Dumbass Ended Up In Prison Because Of It.
I watched a 5 hour TH-cam documentary that was basically just King Von self snitching for literal years on twitter so yea they gossip like schoolgirls

(The name and pfp is a nice combination)
@@Meechie2015_BigMeezyCLE.probably "trap lore ross : king von rap first serial killer?"

He also appeared on Roc, the short lived HBO series Laurel Avenue & the movie Walking Dead.
You are right! Never realized that
Thanx cuz
@@Pazuzu82 you're welcome
@@Pazuzu82😂😂 classic response
Warning goes before destruction and that warning is not always verbal, but life itself is that warning.
the way her cousin runs to the car is hilarious🤣🤣
The way he was looking around as he ran to the car always took me out 😂😂😂😂
I DO THAT EVERY TIME I GO TO MY RIDE
My fav part of the movie.
Caine was a character I always felt bad for. He’s been trapped in this vicious cycle of violence since he was a child. This is really all he’s known. It’s no wonder he never woke up and realized this isn’t what he wanted for himself. He probably thought there was nothing for him beyond that.
This is another movie i saw at the $1.50 movie theater twice when i was a kid. I hated Caine died & i wanted him to make it out of the hood. The lesson of this movie is everything catches up with you in the end. Rewatching this as an adult i realized that Caine was doing too much & the movie did a great job of making him look like the protagonist. O-Dogg was a dumbass because he was showing off the robbery tape like it was a sports reel. I don’t think Illena was pregnant, she pretended to be in order to trap Caine. Samuel Monroe Jr. is the eternal typecast. If you look up the word typecast in the dictionary you’ll see his picture. Fun Facts: Prior to this movie Tyrin Turner was in Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation Video, In Living Color, Michael Jordan’s Come Fly With Me home video, Deep Cover & Hangin With Mr. Cooper. Larenz Tate appeared on Matlock, Amen, The Wonder Years, The Women Of Brewster Place, New Attitude, The Royal Family, You Take The Kids & The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Caine’s grandparents were played by the late Marilyn Coleman & the late Arnold Johnson. Marilyn Johnson appeared on Good Times, Which Way Is Up, The Five Heartbeats & Meteor Man. Arnold Johnson appeared on Sanford & Son, Good Times, The Jeffersons, A Hero Ain’t Nothing But A Sandwich, Shaft, Family Matters & The Five Heartbeats. The late 2Pac was supposed to play Sharif. He was upset because there was no back story on how Sharif coverted to Islam & he wanted to play O-Dogg instead & he assaulted The Hughes Brothers & bragged about it on Yo! MTV Raps. Spice-1 was supposed to play Caine & MC Ren was supposed to play A-Wax but covered to Islam. MC Eiht & Clifton Powell did voiceovers on GTA: San Andreas. Next weeks review is Bones.
Can we please get a review on the following movies:
New Jack City
South Central
Fresh
New Jersey Drive
look where that got pac
I didn’t know that about 2Pac. Always end up learning something new about him from the past.
@@shavonneholmes5203 MC Eiht revealed it on Vlad TV.
Larenz Tate also had an early appearance in 21 Jump Street, he was 12-13 year old
@@seventhkeyomegasghost8233 He’s been acting since he was 10 years old.
O’Dog pissed me off with repeatedly showing the tape to everyone, and then the fool gone say “Imma sell this for $59.95!”😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This man had a wild summer after graduation
The thing is when you are a person who had a strict parent when it came to living in the hood and then you watch movies like this you realize why they were strict especially if you put yourself in the protagonist's shoes
That white boy had to be a Federal agent 😭😭😂😂
Yup. ALL white people are Federal agents🙄🤣🤣🤣
Good review. I thought about the Parnell/Ronnie age difference too as I got older. He was the 30 yr old picking up his teen girlfriend. Smh. Samuel Monroe Jr is forever the typecasted bad guy in hood movies. 😂😂😂
Samuel Monroe Jr. is the eternal typecast. If you look up the word typecast in the dictionary you’ll see his picture.
Yeah he was WAY to old for her.
Caine was product of his environmental unfortunately. What you do will catch up to you and possibly be your fate . Tyron Turner is so handsome 😍
Heck no! Harold was fine asf❤
Harold didn't have beef in the streets he was in the wrong place at the wrong time for a carjacking. His decision to delay getting out and feeling his manhood was tested cost him his life. But I agree with many commenters Sharif and his dad were collateral damage for Sharif continuing to hang out with his gangsta friends.
You don’t leave your day ones
Sharif was trying to save them that’s why
He was fine too😂🎉❤
"Warning goes before destruction and that warning is not always verbal, but life itself is that warning."
-Life
Cain had so many oppurtunities to leave. But death was coming and knocking.
And he opened the door, by continuously making poor choices.
What were his opportunities?
@@stupidrules1000 he could have left the gangster life and he could have lived a better one besides making wrong choices and he would have never got himself killed.
@@antwonsmith8931 Ok...but what exactly were the opportunities he had? Be specific. You say he had so many other opportunities....what were they?
@@antwonsmith8931 And when you say "better", better how? Again, be specific. Remember, this is a 17 year old kid, and he is living in the projects, in his grandparents home. what was the better life available to him, and how was he meant to acheive it? If he does what his grandparents did...whatever that might have been...he would end up exactly where they are...in the projects complaining about how horrible it is to live in the projects. So again...be as specific as you can when identifying Cain's possible path to a "better" life.
That knocking boots meme will always make me laugh 😂
The hood movie where the protagonist gets killed at the end. If nothing else tells you the harsh reality of that thug life, I don't know what will.
And Cain would return from the dead for the sequel, put on a red mask and a red outfit, and become The Big Red Machine known as...Kane. 🔥
😂😂
Bruh😂😂😂
😂😂😂
You win Brodie
😂😂😂😂😂
So the twist is , he was dead the whole time he was narrating his life . The Hughes brothers were “Shaymalaning” wayyyy before shaymalan 😂
It damn near made me cry when his grandma had to make the decision to stop coddling Cain once his grandpa told him he couldn't stay there I understand why they had to protect their home and Cain was getting into too much trouble
At first watching this movie I felt bad for Caine. After I grew up, I only felt bad for shareef. Oh, and the dude who got his Dayton spoke wires robbed off his 5.0 from Caine as well.
Nah homey was a hustla too. He was riding round with Daytons, gold, and a pager. He damn sure wasn't working a construction job😂😂😂😂😂
"What the fuck yu telling me for?" Is one of the funniest movie lines that shouldn't be funny
A straight up hood classic. The song "streiht up menace" by MC Eiht makes this movie so powerful to me. Oh that scene with Caine in the bathroom. He didn't use the bathroom the whole time he was in jail.
I agree
The trigga gots no heart by spice 1 is also a good song
My favorite hood movie of all time💯🔥
My Top 5 fasho
Same here!
Same here as well.
It’s the best one
The clip of the lady grooving to the H-Town song cracks me up every time 😂
Someone said Charles S. Dutton always play the Angry Black Man, and i can’t unsee that lmao.
He was dope in "Roc"
Haha, he was great in "A Low Down Dirty Shame"
Lol i wonder when Caine took dude's rims. Did the guy just stand there and watch Caine take them off one at a time. 😅
Word lol
Whenever you feel dumb, immature, etc., just remember that there is always that one person who has the same exact mentality as O-Dog.
I was a wife and mother by 21 and barely navigating life because my grandmother had passed and my mom was still living her best crack life. Daddy had OD at 33, when I was 15. Not to mention, I had to grow up early to work and help with my younger siblings. I refused to become a victim of my environment and circumstances. My imagination was fueled by a relentless drive.
I hate not being raised by my parents. I’m thankful for my grandparents who did. They all left me early in life. However, the wisdom from my grandparents and lived experiences (some traumatic) of my parents equipped me for my journey. You couldn’t have told me thirty years later, I’d earned my PhD. To God be all of the glory. Talking about life going full circle. The stories I share with my mentees 🙏🏽❤️
Outstanding review and commentary, as always🥰🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
I've watched this so many times and noticed how lost Caine looked lost especially when his granddaddy asked if he cared if he lived or died?
That was too real! I love the soundtrack to the movie too. Also Clifton Powell is a very overlooked actor. Give him his flowers! Great commentary! I think you should do a commentary on Why Do Fools Fall in Love, since you're on fire with the Larenz Tate flicks! Also, have you seen The Corner, it's a miniseries that aired on HBO in 2000, Charles Dutton directed it and it stars T.K. Carter, Tasha Smith, Glen Plummer and Kandi Alexander. It's set in Maryland and they say it's a prequel to The Wire. You can find it on here.
yep
This movie. Haunting heartbreaking yet you can't help but get wrapped up in it. Baby anthony is so cute and smart for his age. Cain realized too late he wanted a different life.
30 years later, this is still a classic! 🎥💯❤️
Yup.
This movie is FILLED with Black all-stars. Shout out to the Hughes Brothers.
I believe that Caine felt like he was in a hopeless situation. Even though Ronnie, Shareef, Stacy, & Mr Butler was trying to steer him in a different direction he couldn't envision it for himself . By the time everyone's messages got through to him it was too late.
My brother and I used to watch Menace 2 Society every other Saturday. Still a classic to this very day.
Yup.
The main character of this movie had one of the worst self fulfilling name in hood movie history. The idea of naming your black son after the father of biblical murder is like giving your daughter one of best known stripper name. People who believe in nature versus nurture should use this as an example .
Yes! Or naming your daughter Jezebel
His real name was actually Kaydee.
While I do believe in nature vs nurture, names absolutely do carry power, and a spiritual presence with them. There's a reason why you can run into folks with the same name, who have the same behavioural traits. Every Silvia Ive ever known, has been a lying conniving wench. Every Meagan and Courtney Ive ever met, was a straight beyotch.
This movie was a perfect representation of that way of life if you lived in those times, areas or that life in the late 80s and early 90s. This movie is definitely a classic and time capsule of that time
' For the Nostalgia ' is a REAL one ❤
That scene with Bill Duke😂😂😂😂😂
I hadn't watched this movie in several years, but the last time I did, one scene stood out to me. After visiting Purnell in prison, O-Dogg was acting like O-Dogg, teasing and pretending to be some stranger who was gonna off him. Caine was sick of his childishness, and he was gonna open up about how Purnell spoke to him. Then, Ilena's cousin pulled up, and Caine reverted back to his destructive behavior. I actually think that Purnell was the one that got to him for a brief period. Especially when considering that Caine avoided him for so long, and seeing him in that state made him realize he was bound to become his mentor or even worse that made him snap into reality, for a moment. But Caine couldn't get out of his own way long enough to where he could've saved his own life, and those around him (he likely would've ended up locked up still, but he wouldn't be dead. And neither Sharif).
Thanks for the review! I'm a recently new subscriber and I got the notification for the video 😊😊
This is true I always noticed this too, everybody was telling him his ways weren’t leading to anything good but Purnell had to tell him teach Anthony that everything I taught you was wrong.
Where was odog’s folks ? because he was wildin’ . Great review much love ❤️
I always thought his anger, provocation, and killing of the store owner for mentioning "I feel sorry for your mother" implies that his mother was likely in his life at some point, but probably passed-possibly violently), when he was young. In the film, he also mentions crashing from house, to house.
Btw it's a interesting that this movie came out when the LA Riots/ Latasha harlins thing was going on especially with the Asian store owners death in the movie
I was 11 years old when this movie came out. I remember the movie theater i went to was jam packed
One thing missed here was that his boys tried to him to leave Ilena alone which he ignored. Caine was the opposite of Trey in Boyz N the Hood, there was guidance that he heeded which made him get out the car vs Caine staying in and committing murder. With all the dirt Caine did his death wasn't as sad as it should have been but he clearly had options.
What was the age difference between Caine and Ronnie. Seriously if he was just graduating HS and she had a son about 7-8 plus, that was some statuary stuff going on. Ok I'm done.
@@kylecruelit’s ok if women do that with young men, nothing inappropriate about it at all.💯
O-dog is a straight up demon man. He's really cold af
Harold ain’t have no beef. He was carjacked
This movie was very gritty. O dog was a straight-up sociopath. And Cain had too many chances but he was reckless.
Just rewatched this movie last night 🎉❤ you’re always right on time 🫶🏽
7:45 O Dog is the type of dude that would livestream a robbery he was committing if he had an IG!
Despite all the warning and invitations from Ronnie and his friends to leave I never felt like Cain would.
Cain himself has a very fatalistic outlook because of his parents fates, systematic oppression, etc. I don’t think he believes in free will at all. His destiny is preordained to him. Whats even more messed up is he’s ok with it. He doesn’t valued his life until it flashes before his eyes.
When talking about Atlanta, he says “I’m still going to be black in Atlanta.” He’s right all of his problems won’t disappear because he’s in a new environment. But it could work.
The whole movie has this theme of fate and life being predetermined from birth.
“When elders was elderimg” I feel that 😂
"You done fvcked up you know that didnt you"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭
At 6:45 when cains granddaddy asked him do you care whether you live or die and Cain said I don’t know, the look on o dogs face with like “nigga is you crazy”😂😂
My fav hood film of all-time since as a kid and make great commentary with your voice, marvelous
The unintentionally funny lines in this movie: "Aye homie, you need some help?"
"Muh-fucker I said a double burger wif cheese!"
"Oh you ah baller huh, you ah baller?" 😃
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cain had TWO CHANCES to change smh
Point of the movie obviously people make choices in life between good and evil
More than two. Most likely though eventually the law would have caught up to him about that take. Can't run from the fed's in the U.S.
Enjoyed the Review as always but you left out one of the best parts in the movie..... The Cheeseburgers scene
Menace II Society (1993) is one of the most greatest hood movies of all time. The story, performance's, music, direction, cinematography, and motivational, powerful, and inspirational life messages was spectacular and phenomenal. The concept and theme was just so brutal, explicit, graphic, hardcore, and violent 😰😱 which absolutely and positivity works perfectly for the movie. It also gives a insightful and articulate representation of urban violence, gangs, drugs, and police brutality in the raw and ghetto environment. It was decent and to this day I still watch it. Menace II Society (1993) is a true blue ultimate masterpiece in cinema. The Hughes Brothers directed a classic that will be in our hearts forever. It never gets old.😍😎💯👍
That's why the movie won the 1994 MTV Movie Award for Best Movie!
I'm loving you more. You are reviewing all the movies I love back to back.
As always, bringing us classic after classic. It's been a while, but definitely digging this one out again soon. Thank you ❤
I love this movie! I like it a lot more than Boyz in the hood but I do like the comparisons between both the main characters between Trey and Cain. Cain is someone who didn’t have a furious in his life and it reflected that compared to Trey. Also maybe I might be a bit biased for this movie because Lorenz Tate is in the movie and he’s so handsome even with those lil yatti braids 😂😂
Cain was a horrible person ; I’ve been saying this since ‘94- deserves everything he got!
😢DATS HARSH THE ONE WHO WAS DOIN THE MOST IS ODOG
5:00 you misunderstood this part. Harold didn't have no beef with those guys, they just wanted his car. That was a regular 80-90's LA carjacking. It was common knowledge back then to run red lights in certain places in LA.
You bringing up the San Andreas reference earned you a new subscriber! Great breakdown
I love the “pop up video” caption❤
My favorite hood classic!
I never noticed Too Short was in this movie either. Now umma have to watch it again.
Cain was living a fast life and he unfortunately met the consequences of all his actions.
I feel in love with Larenz Tate during this movie and been loving him since. Such a great actor.
Bones!!
Caine and Harold were two of my first movie crushes lol
I said this in another review about this movie a few months ago, but the crazy part about this film is it took place over the span of the WHOLE student summer break. Let that sink in....
I can’t even watch Menace II Society anymore. Every time I watch it, something else pisses me off about it.
Caine & O Dogg were just two hood idiots. Sharif getting killed pissed me off. I’m older now and the movie just irritates tf out of me.
That's just how things are in the ghetto. Innocent people die while the idiots who are the main cause of the violence keep breathing
larenz tate has more style than anyone I know
I still remember the Asian guy saying " I feel sorry for your mother".
Can't wait! Do you take requests? If so, is there time to do a tales from the hood video for Halloween?
Ive already done Tales, its on my spotify. It was blocked by TH-cam.
Or do Blue Hill Ave
@@forthenostalgia TH-cam seems to always wanna block something. But I'll definitely check it out on Spotify. Thanks 😊

This movie is the 1 I thought you were going to do (& thought you already did) when you reviewed "Dead Presidents." I love this movie as well as that 1.
It’s free on Tubi and I had to rewatch it in my adulthood. Definitely one of my favorite hood classics.
Seek Christ in these final moments 🤎
Just found this channel and it’s a gem. The voice soothing and commentary hit😂😂
(Mr. Butler's voice) "The hunt is on, and you're the prey!"
Cain was always doomed from
the opening scene. The police were already closing in by the end. Ronnie had no luck with men.
Queen! I KNEW you would SLAY this review ❤ Just made an incredible lunch and now a dope video to watch with it ❤🧘🏽♀️🕉🪬🪐 #4daCULTURE 💯👑🎬
This is one of my favorite hood movies fr but Caine was def wilding in this movie and so were most of the people around him or who were around him when he was a kid. But like you explained, he didn’t listen to the people who had his best interest at heart and that’s one of the reasons he ended up being murdered. This movie basically showed us that our decisions have consequences which is another thing about Menace that I like. They weren’t glorifying street shit even tho some people make it seem like that’s what this movie was doing.
But this just some facts about the movie I read a while ago, O-Dog was 16 and Caine was 18 (according to the script). Ilena was lying about being pregnant (from what The Hughes Brothers said). Ronnie was 24 (according to the script). And actually A-Wax dies with Caine and Sharif at the end in the script. But I loved your review of this and you was def speaking facts the whole time 🗣️
So Pernell was chester
Great review as always sis 🙌🏾. I can’t tell you how many times my cousin and I used to rewind the car scene with Kane, O-Dog and Wax looking for Harold’s killers. O-Dog cursing Kane out used to crack us up. I can recite that scene word for word. 😂 My cousin fell in love with Larenz Tate and she still crush on him til’ this day. Tyrin and Larenz are still fine. 😍 The next review, I know the movie and revenge is sweet.
That's the best scene in the movie 😂!
My brother and I used to act that scene out, lol! Then me and my friends in high school. I went from O
-Dog to A-Wax, cause I was the old school one in the crew 😭😭!!
