* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: As {{Anvilicious}} as it may seem for some, this film makes a great point about the lack of positive parental figures and role models in poor black communities that can lead to a vicious cycle of senseless violence as children find refuge in gangs. Ali kicks this knowledge to Bobby, which straightens him up and finally pays off in the end.

* UnfortunateImplications: Much like many other hood films (which ''Film/DontBeAMenaceToSouthCentralWhileDrinkingYourJuiceInTheHood'' [[LampshadeHanging hung a nice lampshade on]]), many black female characters are portrayed in an unflattering light, and without complexity or nuance like the men. To be fair to this film, there was one black nurse that was nothing but loving, wholesome, and motherly to Jimmy, who definitely needed a positive mother figure after his real mother abused and neglected him.

** After killing Genie Lamp, the Deuces sans Bobby all look terrified and remorseful, just as they were all hellbent on enacting revenge on him and were doing it rather brutally. It probably would've made for a poignant MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment from them if it weren't such a stark contrast.
