Boyz N The Hood

Brutally honest landmark urban drama that made stars out of John Singleton, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ice Cube.

-Ice Cube was John Singleton's first choice for Doughboy and he approached him many times at a rap concerts. Ice Cube was reluctant but finally agreed to a screen test.


-In order to maintain a sense of realism, director John Singleton never gave the actors cues as to when the gun shots would be fired.


-John Singleton's Oscar nomination for Best Director at the age of 24 makes him the youngest director to ever receive such an accolade.
