Did you know

• There are elements in this film that make it contrast with the movie "New Jack City"; painting a picture of what could have happened if Wesley Snipes' gangster character had cleaned up his act. Among those elements are two key characters that are present in both films. Those characters are portrayed by Bill Cobbs and Mario Van Peebles; Cobbs being the same community motivated man and Peebles being the good cop looking to bring down the gangster. Snipes' relationship with each character as a result of his own actions, is what makes the difference in this film.

• The actor under the Old man mask in the Grocery store scene was not Wesley Snipes.

• Features a collaboration between Wesley Snipes, Mario Van Peebles and Bill Cobbs reunited the trio for the first time since 1991's New Jack City (1991).
