Agree with this
It's a part that is up for debate because military can lead to great opportunity and benefit but Furious did not have a good run in the army so naturally he's against it.
So he may have felt that way during war times and for a conflict that was again up for debate.
I think he was pretending to play with that gun, that's why when Doughboy threw them out he said "Man I didnt get my turn."
Yes when up against my other favs -
Menace II society
South Central
Juice
Paid in full
Boyz in the hood tops them all.
It is a bit unusual, but not complete unheard of. I had a couple friends who were Huge into track and another lacrosse but they never really hung with their teammates just practice and for a bit after practice.
Sure.
He might've sold it.
Foolish for sure, but Harold probably knew it was curtains for him whether he got out of the car or not and just wanted to "go out like a G"
Late response but It depends on a few things. The state - which is California in this case which has the Death Penalty. Depends a number of factors on how O-dog will be sentenced. Whether he'll be tried as an adult who knows, what representation he has in the way of defense, I doubt anyone would come to his support for testimony, the judge presiding and more.
If he doesn't get capital punishment, he assuredly go away for life w/o parole juvenile or otherwise if that evidence sticks.
If this is the case they did a poor job showing it. Cane's response to the whole thing was crappy but if they want to make ilenapl to be dishonest about it, they should go all in, especially since she in 3 scenes total.
Yes it's satisfying because Chauncey is a creep, but it also is good scene to show Caine and O-dogs reprocussions were catching up to them if that tape reached LE.
There both evil, but different ways of evil if you will. The edge is to Nino though.
Nino is shown to have little care for anyone BUT pretends he does. He had no remorse for things he did.
O-dog obviously was raised in chaos and lives that way. His one redeeming line when speaking to Caines Grandpa - "shit... I mean things are messed out there." so he seems to know what he does is wrong, but has long stopped caring.
Watching that scene I think he is:
-Holding on to the positive and in denial that Caine would do such a thing. He helped raise him but knows what Caine is likely up to when not at home. Just as Aciddrop posted - actually seeing Caine get violent rather than having doubts about it made it clear. He doesn't want trouble coming to the house.
-Grandma may have helped persuade Grandpa to give Caine a chance.
I also think he's just sort of preaching, it is just accusations after all. He doesn't know whether he has killed or not but he is aware of his lifestyle.
Yes he was a d*** to that guy but he was obviously involved some. Sort of car ring so he kinda deserved it. Chauncey is a d*** for trying to push on Ronnie.
The security guard thought they looked suspicious so he called it in. Chauncey was just a the drop off guy. Here, I don't think he got them caught on purpose.
Totally agree. This movie is underrated when it comes to the hood movie genre and I love the redemption arc with Bobby.
That said I still say Boyz in the Hood is best.
My takeaways are -
There are a lot of messages moreso than the others and are spread between characters that
-importance of parenting
-education
-consequences
-Jealousy
-self hate
.. .. More
MiiS - agree, change your ways sooner than later.
Juice - power corrupts
DTRT - be kind to others, increase peace, etc.
I like to add Paid in Full - greed, pride and lack of discipline will be your downfall. Similar message to MiiS.
South Central it goes full circle though and Bobby is doing what Ali said has to happen - break the cycle. Definitely one of my favorite of the bunch.
Whilst in jail maybe he connected with the Ali and his people, but that may mean severing his Deuce ties.
Assuming he was let out I'd think he'd go to family if he had any as he didn't seem to be able to care for himself. Gang members may have helped look out for him but if listened to Bobby at all, he'd try to distance himself from it and get help.
And now he's gone

That was their downfall as well as so many other pushers. They have a ton of money but no discipline. Living in the moment. All that matter to Mitch was looking good, being noticedand material objects but ignored (or at least paid less attention to) family - mom, brother, clearly uncle.
Same with Rico.
Couldn't find a whole lot of info but "Uncle Ice" is Johnny "Apple" Porter who orchestrated the kidnapping. Not sure the sentence but, I'm willing to bet he did some time.
Happens more than you may think.
