The actor that played the black cop said his performance was because a friend of his son was killed in the street and Singleton wanted that anger in the performance.
Cop: Something wrong? Lawrence Fishburne : Something wrong? Yea. Its just too bad you don’t know what it is….brother. Classic line and classic response to the cop. That left him speechless. One of the best scenes in the movie
Interestingly "What it is" was an informal greeting between black people in the 70's. So this cop would have been a teenager at that time and would likely have used it. Furious saying "what it is" in such a deliberate manner gets his point across in a very direct way. Basically you've forgotten what skin you're in.
"I hate my gums cause they black!" "I HATE BLACK KEYS ON A PIANO!" "I hate the back of Forrest Whitaker's neck! AHHHH!" That's what comes to mind every time I see that cop now. RIP Bernie Mac.
If Furious was smart enough to make it through Boot Camp, and his regular 4 years he should have saved his money and moved out of Compton, or Crenshaw...or whatever piece of Sh#@ area he was in...a 80-100 mile move and he would not be placing his son in danger.
Furious should have saved his money while in the Army and then he could have moved away from the dangerous neighborhood they were in. He should have taken advantage of the Mess Hall for all meals. Stayed on Base and studied in the Library when off duty. You can save alot when you have free rent, food and medical. When he got out a distance of 80-100 miles away form his crap for neighborhood would have benefited Trey.
That was an intense scene i liked it very much he put that officer in his place without cursing yelling or screaming at the officer he did it politely and professionally 😊
I dont know what kind of gun or bullets that man was using, but with the size of the holes in that hollow core door someone better send the ambulance across the street to the house those rounds ended up in.
How dough got into the game and the name...All his young buck street thugging dough got blown to smithereens by the giant bullets so he had to reconcile his hood losses with a nickname to develop street cred....Don't hate the fictional bullets game, hate the name.
I like how the White cop is professional and the Black cop is the jaded one who’s stop caring a long time ago. Seems like they took so long because he needed to buy his coffee and donut.
Something underrated is his face and panting at 1:15 His fear and anxiety are something he's not afraid to admit or show. He's also no doubt worried for his son. That kind of vulnerability is lacking in movies today.
I just found out there was a white officer at the initial stop, but, he was, evidently, not at the beating. It was reported he called for them to stomp Nichols.
@@galenmerrick really I hadn't watched this scene in several years, and the most memorable scene I remember was later when he harassed Tre on a police pull-over
I know this was a serious moment in _Boyz N the Hood_ but I love Bernie Mac’s parody of this cop character in _Don’t be a Menace to South Central…_ Just the way he says “I hate the back of Forest Whitaker‘s neck” has me rolling every time I hear it.

Do I miss the movies back in this era. The music played in the scenes spoke high volumes of the reality that and serious nostalgia. “Is something wrong?” “Yeah, too bad you don’t know what it is.” Sad a lot still don’t know.
Something I never noticed before in the movie *Boyz In Tha Hood* and not only did I see the movie the first night it opened in theaters, but I watched it hundreds of times on television. But how come Furious Styles allowed Trey to play around with the *Crack Head* cat head shoe? That’s nasty lol 😂
@@B-26354 In all actuality Furious was being curt with the black cop to illustrate to Tre' that just because he's black, it doesn't mean that they are on the same team. Tre' had to be outside with him to learn the lesson that personal accountability is what matters in life, not perceived alliances.

It doesn't matter. It was the wrong thing to say and the cop should have known better not to throw a black slur in front of black people who just had a home invasion.

That deep voice was creepy he and furious didn't hit it off well . While the white cop wanted to help
I agree!!
Since Furious served in the army, he's been trained to sense danger. Gotta love that detail when he suddenly senses it and jumps right into action.
He was in Nam on a swiftboat.
Brother was in Nam. Probably survived more than a couple of firefights and ambushes.
And if he was in the army and couldn't get the guy, imagine how useless the average gun owner is in that situation.
Wow you people are lame
