Menace II Society/YMMV
- Crowning Music of Awesome: The opening flyby set to an instrumental of Ice Cube's Ghetto Bird, and the end credits song Streiht-Up Menace by MC Eiht. Hell yeah.
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Like Boyz N the Hood, the movie brings realistic depiction of hood life, but darker.
- One-Scene Wonder: Samuel L. Jackson plays Caine's dad in a flashback. He's quite a bit more Badass here than in Jurassic Park, which was released the same year.
- In the same scene, is A.J. Johnson, but its more of Hey, It's That Guy!.
