To maintain a sense of realism, writer and director John Singleton never warned the actors and actresses about when shots would be fired. Their reactions were real.
Ice Cube was John Singleton's first choice for Doughboy. He approached him at a rap music concert a couple of times, and Cube was reluctant to audition via a screen test, conducted by Singleton. Singleton later encouraged Cube to write screenplays (based on Cube's contribution to rap lyrics) - which resulted in the successful "Friday (1995)" film franchise.
Columbia Pictures wanted to make this movie, but wanted someone other than John Singleton to direct it. Singleton believed only he could do it, replying, "Hell, no, I'm not gonna let somebody from Idaho or Encino direct a movie about living in south-central Los Angeles. They can't come in here and cast it and go through the re-writes and know exactly what aesthetics are unique to this film."
Writer and director John Singleton based Tre Styles' (Cuba Gooding Jr.) childhood on his own. Singleton's father was a mortgage broker like Furious Styles (Laurence Fishburne). When he was twelve, Singleton moved in with his father in South Los Angeles, California. Like Trey, Singleton stayed out of trouble with his father's guidance and went to college.
In terms of investment, this was 1991's most financially successful movie, making $56.1 million from a budget of only $6.5 million.
"Furious Styles: Any fool with a dick can make a baby, but only a real man can raise his children."
"Officer Coffey: Something wrong? Furious Styles: Something wrong? Yeah. It's just too bad you don't know what it is... *Brother*."
