* RealitySubtext: The movie was shot on-location in South Central L.A., which led to a lot of problems similar to the fictional ones in the movie. The dialogue had to be dubbed over in many parts due to gunshots and helicopters in the distance. There were threats of fights between the extras, and in one instance a filming location had to be changed because of threats from a member of the Bloods. The scene in question contained Doughboy, who is heavily implied to be a Crip, shooting someone who is heavily implied to be a Blood. The real life gang member claimed that he was not responsible if someone actually shot Creator/IceCube for portraying their gang negatively.

* UnderageCasting: Creator/LaurenceFishburne was cast as Tre's father Furious despite being only 7 years older than Tre's actor Creator/CubaGoodingJr. This was memorably spoofed in ''Film/DontBeAMenaceToSouthCentralWhileDrinkingYourJuiceInTheHood'', where it's implied that Ashtray's father is somehow ''younger'' than him.

* SleeperHit: It was a low-budget urban film that was only intended to be given a small release until two events happened: 1. The film premiering to mass acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival, and 2. Columbia's big Summer 1991 film ''Film/RadioFlyer'' getting pushed back due to reshoots, which led Columbia to slot the small production it is place. Even against strong blockbusters ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' and ''Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves'' and violence breaking out at some screenings, the film managed to gross over $50 million, made Creator/JohnSingleton the youngest Best Director nominee in the history of the Academy Awards, launched the film careers of Music/IceCube and Creator/CubaGoodingJr and almost single-handedly launched the African American film industry in the 1990s.

Creator Chosen Casting is when the casting of an adaptation is influenced by the creator of the work being adapted; an original character written for a specific actor is not an example
