Boyz n the Hood hasn't held up well over time

It's a perfect timestamp of what life in the hood was like back in the late 80s/early 90s.

At the begining of the movie, when the Boyz are still kids, Ricky loses his football to a gang of older teenagers. Then, the perceived leader of the older kids curses his buddies out and throws the ball back to Ricky. Is the guy who returned the football the same gang-banger who fires his machine gun like Schwartzennager in the parking lot and ultimately kills Ricky at the end of the movie?

Are you talking about the blood w/ the geri-curl who shot the uzi on Crenshaw? That wasnt the guy from when they were kids. Also, Ricky was killed by shutgun in an alley. The guy who shot him was a younger guy and also not from the scene when they all were kids. The guy with AK-47 that sprayed everyone in the parking lot of Jack-n-the-box was with Ice Cube. He didnt kill Ricky and he also was not the guy in the scene from when they were kids.

Yeah, my bad. Im talking about blood w/ the geri-curl who shot the uzi on Crenshaw. He actually didnt pull the trigger to kill Ricky, but he was in the car. When they have the flashback of the Foogball scene, they show two closeups of "Football dude" - as if to show that he will have an important role later on in the movie. Thats why Im askin'.

yeah, i have my doubts about that.the dude who gives back the football is short and stockyish. the dude with the curl who shoots Ricky is taller and thin.

Are you saying all black people look alike? It was the same dude btw.

I don't think so.

recent imdb discussion about this

The guy they say was the shooter was played by Lloyd Avery Jr who died Sept. 16, 2005.

At the time of his death, was serving a life sentence for a double murder at Pelican Bay Prison. His body was not discovered until two days after his death inside his cell and the chief suspect was his cell mate.

Yeah, but the shooter isn't the guy they are talking about. They're talking about the guy that was driving the car, big dude with a jheri curl and a ski cap.He really looked nothing like the football guy.

RIPSeemed like such a fine fellow.

Ok, let's get this straight:1. The big guy that gives Ricky his football back early in the film does not appear later in the film.2. The guy with the jheri-curl and the Chicago Bulls knit cap (Ferris) is not the same as the football guy (not to be confused with FBG).3. Ricky is not shot by either Ferris nor the football guy.4. Ricky is shot by, from what I can tell, "Knucklehead #2" who was played by Lloyd Avery II (who apparently really killed 2 people in real life and was killed in prison).

You read the same thing I just did

 

[Minotauro]

Good post Tanner.

Now, the real important question is:

Where did all those leaves on Furious' lawn come from???

 

[Nipsey]

Lil' Cube was lucky they didn't pull his card right there.

Doughboy didn't take no flack from nobody.

Don't quote me boy, I ain't said ####.

I'll give out some cross streets to visit in Detroit and people can see if they think it's something they want to be a part of. I was actually considering starting up a "ghetto tours" company where rich white folk could tour a hood of their choice. Package would come complete with an armed robbery and a crack purchase. The deluxe package would include tour of a crack house, a 187 response, along with a hood rat on your jock.

Awesome movie.

Laurence Fishburne who plays Cuba Gooding Jr.'s father is only six and a half years older than him in real life

Damn. Lil' Larry was gettin' busy back in 1st grade.

Instead, you should do a Doctor Detroit Reality Bus Tour. Show people where you grew up, serve them pizza bagels, and take them to the spot where you threatend the guy who didn't take his hat off. Stuff like that. ps- Would you mind transporting some muffin stumps?

Actually where I grew up now qualifies for the ghetto tour these days. Could be a super deluxe package of violence. Fun for the whole ####### family.

He could also take them past the wearhouse the NFL rented during SB XL to hide all the Lime Green Seahawk towels from their fans...

I disagree. "Hey, Hey lil man!...Catch." He was tall, fat and had #### bigger than Woz's girlfriend.The guy hanging out of the car with the shotty was 100lbs soaking wet with a curl. His complexion was MUCH lighter than the guy who threw back the football.

lol....funny how life works, GB. Back in '06, I would have never imagined that I would ever once step foot in the city of Detroit for any reason. 8 years later and I've not only been to Detroit numerous times, but have stepped foot in Hardcore Pawn's store on 8 Mile, attended a wedding at a Catholic church downtown where the security guards carried guns and actually found marijuana in a baggie on the floor of the airport left behind by a few guys who looked like they might be a touch gangy. Detroit ain't no joke, man.

But, that being said, I really like my time there.

Of course. Look at who would have been his competition: Geno Toretta/Charlie Ward/Rashaan Salaam. If he stayed for his senior year, then granted, Eddie George would have been a tough battle.
