TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The characters of the film actually parallel the students from The Breakfast Club (1995). Rosario Dawson's character is the perfect, well behaved good student (Molly Ringwald), Fredro Starr and Clifton Collins both play the criminal troublemaker (Judd Nelson), Usher plays the jock (Emilio Estevez), Sara Gilbert plays the unpopular reject girl (Ally Sheedy), while Robert Ri'chard plays the naive runt (Anthony Michael Hall). Ironically, Judd Nelson who played troublemaker John Bender in The Breakfast Club appears in the movie as a straight-laced teacher.

This is the second time in a movie that Forest Whitaker asks another man to help him urinate. This also occurred in The Crying Game (1992).

Usher Raymond and Fredro Starr played love interests of Brandy's character on her show Moesha.

Erica Hubbard's debut.
