This film was perfect.

If only this was a HBO series and went further into detail of the 4 years in college and the characters...

 

[Rufus Dufus]

 

[Danie84]

Made a 90s Kid Soul Burn Slow

...had a longtime separating Rapaport form that SKKKinhead Coward

Fishburne as the West Indian professor, tho

 

[Shadowmayne]

Busta had his Blazin' move activated

 

[OmegaK2099]

white cops beating up the black dude while theyre all sensitive with rappaports character pissed me off something serious

This was a great movie when it released and it still resonates today and let's you know that even two decades later as much as the world as changed a lot of it is still the same.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

classic

 

[Unknown Poster]

This movie could of NEVER come out now....

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Just finished watching this for the first time. Great film.

I could see why this movie is rated low on IMDB and doesn't get talked about much. White people are bothered when they can't get an "out" or "escape" per say. Like most movies dealing with race they throw in a good white guy to offset the bad racist white guy.

Spoiler

In this movie they show the Skin Heads getting washed and having to resort to a sniper attack. It also shows brothers acting normal and going to school....and you know they hated the scene when the brehs roll up to the frat house

I like Omar Epps in this. Great slow burn and remains authentic

8 out of 10

This movie is more relevant than ever and barely anyone remembers it

Thats a damn shame. People talk about "Menace II Society" but no one talks about the film that literally exposes white supremacy in higher institutions of learning. A lot of movie buff brehs need to be called out on that

But this movie could have been a legendary HBO series. Go through 4 seasons of uncut footage of what goes down.

Goofy ass movie. It's only marginally less silly than Don't Be A Menace.

Acting was trash, characters one dimensional, Fishburnes shytty accent, jewface Rapaport getting into a neo nazi gang... I dont understand the praise in this thread - it's a heavy handed, corny, let's all be nice to each other movie.
