| 7 | ** According to Creator/TyreseGibson on the DVD extras, he asked Creator/VingRhames to not only choke him for real, but to not hold back, as he wanted the scene to look as authentic as possible. |
| 8 | ** Creator/JohnSingleton also stated on the DVD commentary that during the scene where Melvin finally confronts Jody in with Juanita, Ving Rhames used Tyrese Gibson's real mother's name in some cut shots in order to get a genuine, passionate reaction out of him. Those shots of Jody becoming increasingly angry leading up to the shove was genuine anger on Tyrese's part. |
