Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Deon Taylor's second feature before he pivoted to horror with The Intruder and Black and Blue. The hustle literally built his career.
Charlie Murphy filmed this during his Chappelle's Show peak but it sat shelved for years, missing his moment. Peak Murphy energy, zero momentum.
