* The quietly terrifying detective that interrogates Caine in the middle of the film, played by Bill Duke.

* O-Dog himself can be seen as this. He mercilessly kills a Korean cashier couple in a liquor store. It gets worse when he steals the videotape and uses it as a method of humorous entertainment for him and his homies.

* Anthony's future is either uncertainly bleak, or horrifyingly clear. A point is made about just how similar his character arc is to Caine's at his age, with him having the exact same curiosities Caine did, such as wanting to learn how to use a gun. By the end of the film, he has now witnessed Caine horrifically shot to death trying to protect him. In a MissingTrailerScene, he is soaked in Caine's blood, bawling his eyes out. Considering Caine also bore witness to countless murders growing up, it's very likely that Anthony will fully repeat Caine's story, and become a cold-hearted thug by his late teens.

* The scene where Caine and his cousin Harold are carjacked by a rival gang. One of them shoots Harold in the head, splattering his brains all over the windshield. The worst part is that it was solely done ForTheEvulz.

* Caine's death at the end of the film. He saves Ronnie's son, but at the graphic cost of his own life. The unrated version of the film is worse, as it contains a bunch of gore as Caine is shot. Tyrin Turner doesn't pull any punches while depicting the dying Caine either; It looks absolutely ''painful'' watching the man try to gasp for air as he bleeds out in Stacy's arms, pouring his blood everywhere.

* The place where the film takes: [[WretchedHive Watts, Los Angeles]]. No, seriously. The representation of the ghetto in this film is [[TruthInTelevision quite realistic]], and sometimes, reaching downright disturbing levels. A place where life has no value [[EvilVersusEvil and no one there is nice, including the protagonists]]. If ''Film/{{Jaws}}'' put you off swimming, then you may not wanna go to the ghetto any time soon after seeing this movie.
