Trivia

Lloyd Avery II, who plays G-Ride, was convicted of a double homicide shortly after filming and died in prison in 2005, giving his performance an unintentionally haunting finality.

Cultural

Released in the shadow of 'Boyz n the Hood' and 'Menace II Society,' this straight-to-video thriller tried to cash in on hood cinema without the budget or vision—peak early-2000s exploitation.
