TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Rather than seek studio financing, Spike Lee financed the film with monetary contributions from famous black men so as to reflect the spirit of the Million Man March. The contributors included (but were not limited to): Will Smith, Danny Glover, Wesley Snipes, Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., and Robert Guillaume.

This was the first time that Spike Lee did not appear in a film that he directed.

Hill Harper played a 19 year old in the movie although he was 30 in real life.

Released on 16 October 1996, on the one year anniversary of the Million Man March.

Was filmed in three weeks' time.

Popular Dialogues
