TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Tonya Pinkins played Duane Martin's mother, although in real life Tonya is only three years his senior.

At the start when Shep awakes from the nightmare, you hear the intro to Tupac Shakur's "Pain" - "I Couldn't help but notice your pain" - "My pain?" - "It runs deep, share it with me!". This voice-over is from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989).

Above the Rim took place in New York but the soundtrack was handled by the west coast based label Death Row Records.

PAC had a double in the basketball scene due to his New York shooting

Filmed in July 1993

Popular Dialogues

"Shep: You think I came back here to work for you? Birdie: Come on, man, we brothers; wouldn't have you working for me. We'd be partners. Shep: What, selling that shit? Are you that dumb? Birdie: Who the fuck you think you're talking to, man? This ain't Nutso. This ain't that dopehead on the roof taking orders from you. This ain't your same little brother following behind you trying to go outside. You ain't the motherfuckin' man no more. I'm the one! Shit has changed! It's a new day, bro. If you can't clean up your act, I suggest you raise the fuck up and get the hell out of Dodge... or get caught up."

"Kyle-Lee: You my man and the whole 9 but you look like a 14-karat Urkel."
