Did you know
ā¢ Eddie Murphy came up with the original idea and the title for the film during a conversation with Keenen Ivory Wayans. Wayans asked Murphy's permission to use the idea.
ā¢ Producer Pater McCarthy persuaded John Cusack, with whom he had worked before, to appear in the last big shoot-out scene as a delivery boy. He was shot multiple times and was burned by several of the nearly 20 squibs attached to his body. The scene ultimately wasn't used.
ā¢ When Kim Wayans performs during the bar scene, Slade asked the bartender "Who is that?" She replies "that's the director's sister," and the camera points at Keenen Ivory Wayans.

By far the best thing the Wayans brothers ever did
Silly but fun
Rather enjoyable parody on the blaxploitation genre...
