''South Central'' is a HoodFilm released in 1992, directed by Stephen Wilburn Anderson and based on the book "''Crips''" by Donald Bakeer. True to its name, it is based around an African-American gang in South Central Los Angeles, of which protagonist Bobby Johnson (Glenn Plummer) is a member, and wastes no time reconnect with his comrades. Upon getting out of jail, Bobby finds out that his girlfriend gave birth to his son while he was incarcerated, and is now hooked on drugs, prostituting herself to get her fix. He sees that she's getting pimped out by a heroin dealer who goes by "Genie Lamp", and after being threatened by him, decides to take revenge by killing him. Evidence being left at the scene of the crime and him refusing to snitch gets him incarcerated again, and allows his son to be raised by the streets. Hearing about what his son has become motivates Bobby to wise up and get out of prison as fast as he can.

Jimmy, growing up without a positive father figure, gets corrupted by awful influences, and becomes indoctrinated into the gang, callously committing crimes even after [[spoiler:it costs him his life]]. The film is mostly about Bobby learning to finally grow up and become the man his son needs.
* GenerationXerox: Bobby becomes a member of Hoover Street Deuces, much like his father.
* MalcolmXerox: Averted. Ali doesn't get too preachy with Bobby, and is naturally a guy that is able to get through to him, which allows them to get along and teaches Bobby a valuable lesson.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Jimmy is raised by his prostitute mother and his father's gang while the latter is serving time in jail. This causes him to start committing crimes as a preteen.
