Saw something online about how this movie really influenced Jennifer's Body. At least according to the writer.
IIRC, I'm pretty sure one of her victims in this film, was some black guy that was in the closet gay and she wasn't liking his pipe game none, seemingly bored with it, so then she took over and started fukking him till she literally fukked him to death, with him spewing blood out of his mouth and shyt.
My expression of this moment as a kid watching:
My expression now thinking of it.....the same.
Yeah, she knew he could not perform because he was living a lie within himself, so she decided to give him what he REALLY wanted.
Also, she actually killed him by slashing him to death.

He must have been practicing that nut-ass pickup line, because he was talking to HIMSELF.

no, DBT followed School Daze. Go back and look at that KFC scene in School Daze and there is the foundation of DBT. The movie starred Bill Nunn, Kadeem Hardison, Samuel Jackson, and James Bond III(also wrote, produced, and directed) and it was filmed at Laurence Fishburne's home at the time. Also, Ossie Davis and Ruby D's son played the 2nd bartender (he was also the lead actor in Beat Street). Ernest dikkerson, who shot all of Spike's early films, did the cinematography and Jasmine Guy was supposed to play Temptation, but she had other arrangements(probably Harlem Nights, I'm not sure.). That fine azz Michael Michel was the chick that threw the drink in Bill Nunn's face and singer Starleana Young(Jt Taylor's wife) was the last chick in the bar that Dougie was talking to.
I remember the night I went to see this in 1990. It was a Sunday at the $1.50 theater. That was strange because it was a new release and instead of putting it at one of the other 3 theaters in my city, they put it at the $1.50 theater. The theater was packed from front to back. Nothing but black folks. All 3 sections and every row filled. I first heard about this film in Jet magazine and I had never saw a trailer until I got home that night after the theater. I know the exact date because when I got home, Common Ground was a CBS film that premiered that night on tv. That movie scared the fukk out of me back then. I was 12 going on 13 and had no idea it was a real horror. I thought it was comedy shyt and I was a huge Kadeem Hardison fan at the time. The soundtrack is dope and the cinematography has aged well. Teh crazy thing is that this film and Tales from the Hood got bad reviews after they were released, but decades later people now praise it.
If you go to Wikipedia, it says this film was released May 11, 1990. This isn't true. It was released in March because Common Ground premiered on CBS March 25, 1990 on a Sunday (a week after Meldrick Taylor was robbed and 3 weeks after Hank Gather's death). I saw it that Sunday on the 25th at the old Park Theater on 5th street that is now a concert venue.
