Goofs:
Factual errors: Remy refers earlier in the movie that it is 1995. The "Peace Fest" that is advertised on the flyers is slated to take place on Saturday, November 15. For it to be a Saturday and be on November 15 it would either have to be 1986 or 1997.

He is fine with an all black cast............but when he has to use white people......he loses all touch with reality.
As a white male, I have never been more disrespected and the way he treats gangstas as somewhat "good guys". I am amazed by this film, every storyline was pathetic and the racism is laughable.
Every character was pompous and annoying. You wouldn't root for anyone in this mess, well maybe Banks. Omar Epps is terrible, Ice Cube and Busta, lol. The muscular nazi is terrible. Fishburne's overacting makes his performance bad. Ahhhh, this whole film is bad.
Connely's performance was creepy and annoying as well.
