Was reading an interview with spike, coogler and some others.

He said laurence was giving him direction on his directing because he didn't get comfortable working with actors until his next film.

We could have had Vanessa Williams in that role though.

I still say when Williams dropped out that Jasmine Guy would have been a better replacement than Tisha.


Why she drop out ?

The football scene and Bill Nun tryna get laid and failing are the funniest scenes to me.

The Chocolate Girl that Fishbourne was smashing :whew:

She and her manager decided that the sex scene between Jane and Julian was to explicit and she was trying to distance herself from overtly sexy stuff because of how fresh the Miss America scandal still was so she decided against doing the movie.

A lot of black actresses screwed themselves by staying away from sex scenes in the 80s and 90s....

Young me saw this back in the late 80s when it came out. It was a good thing for me to see a movie about a HBCU - even a fictional one.
from the locker room scene at half time with the great Ossie Davis as coach Odom.

To do this job, to win this battle.
I don't have to tell you...
The stands are packed with your friends...
Right.
classmates, your families.
That's right.
Alumni has travelled from near and far.
Talk to me.
I won't even mention
that your lady friends...
will be watching you.
Yeah!
Hear, hear.
Do you want to let them down?
Hell, no!
Do you want to make a bad representation...
of Mission College?
Hell, no!
Do you want to lose Homecoming...
for the fourth year in a row?
Hell, no!
Do you want me to lose my job?
Hell, no!
Do you like the devil?
Hell, no!
Well, the devil is in that other locker room!
Make us feel them.
The devil is wearing black jerseys.
Can I get a witness?
Yes!
I want intensity!
Oh, yeah!
I want reckless abandon!
Oh, yeah!
