Not just one of my favorite spike Lee joints, but one of my favorite movies in general.

One of those movies where you can just feel the tension in certain scenes.

Dont know what else to say, but everything was on point:wow:

Haven't seen it in years...

I'm watching this shyt like :wow: every scene is flawless

Above the fray.
We were talking about this film lately and it occurred to us, despite HIGH tension between blacks and jews in bk at the time, we could not recall a single jew in the film. :skip:

Whoever's re watching, please keep an eye out for us. :jbhmm:
One of the cops is supposed to be jewish

When they do the ethnic stereotype rants.......everybody is covered.....and each character ranting is supposed to represent one of the groups

The big cop is supposed to be the jew......the Korean grocer goes in on that group

bagelsandlox, Bnai brith a$$hole!!!!

Probably

1. Issues with the studio if he went that route

2. The location. My fam bought a brownstone a few blocks away where this was filmed in Bed-Stuy and there were no Jews around as far as i know

If you remember at the time there were more cases of Black men being killed by racist italians in Bk & Queens



I'll also never forget late 90s when that Time Warner CEOs son (Jewish) was killed & NYPD did a full search in the area for the killer. They were just breaking laws & trying to search people's homes without a warrant :mjtf:
