This is such an awesome movie. Friday is the flip side to the story. Cube said in an interview that Friday was to show people that there were good things in the hood too.
When Tre asked Doughboy “did they get him” illustrates that although he got out the car and avoided ruining his future, his heart and mind was still focused on vengeance. When Doughboy looked at him, and said it didn’t matter it goes to show that even though they killed Ferris and the gang it didn’t solve nothing; just a repeated cycle.
And they probably didn't kill the whole gang. Which is how Doughboy then got it next. More revenge. And then even though Tre left, someone else probably still went for revenge for Dough. Cycle on and on
Even after Doughboy avenged Ricky's death, the dissatisfaction on his face tells it all. Almost like it was a total waste. And then Doughboy himself gets it just weeks later. Like it's been said here, the cycle of vengeance & retribution just continued on with no endgame.
Dough knew that Tre had the ability to get the hell out of the hood and didn't resent him for it. Dough understood that he himself was already past the point of no return.
@@artymunoz5060Agreed, Man. Dough coulda started over, with a clean slate, if he'd of wanted to. Maybe he tried...but who knows? Seeing that last line about Dough, though, hits hard. Hed just told his Friend, that for all he knew, it could be him, that got "Smoked," &...sure enough, two weeks later, Death caught up with him, unfortunately turning Dough into a Corpse. I understand the right to bear Arms, as a mode of Self-defense, but then we got thugs, that take things way too far! I understand that certain people live to go hunting and such, and I also understand that people have a right to defend themselves, their property, and their loved ones, with Firearms, but I stress the utmost in caution, as it refers to Trigger-Locks. As for Semi-Automatics, and full-blown Automatic Machine Guns, they have NO BUSINESS, in the hands of the average Citizen. None! It's truly a very complicated issue. My question is this: Where do we go from here?
@@artymunoz5060He was, unfortunately. Someone was going to kill him, that cycle never ends and feasts upon itself. Dough had no other ways to escape the hell of the hood, it was sadly only a matter of time.
When Doughboy said "Next time somebody might try to smoke me. Don't matter though, I guess we all gotta go sometime huh." that hit me hard. Such a fatalistic sense of despair. Entire generations of young men like him just wiped out like they never existed.
That happened 2 weeks later. What is sad is that he is just taking it like its a natural thing. He probably didn't fear getting killed and I'll bet his mother didn't care as much about his death like with Ricky's.
I feel bad for Doughboy. His own momma literally hated him to the point that she hated looking at him even before he went into a life of crime as a teenager and blamed him for Ricky’s death.
His mother was one of the real villains of this film. Doughboy always stood up for his friends and family and his mother hated him from the day he was born. All he wanted was her love but he never got it. Heartbreaking.
He was very good. He can act and rap. Which is why it hurts seeing him in so many bad family friendly movies. But hey. I'd do it too to get paid millions.
I get sad everytime I watch Doughboy sit on The Porch having a serious conversation with Tre about Life. In my opinion, I feel that was his way to tell Tre he's proud of him for not following him even though a part of him felt like he wish he did alot better like Ricky but it was too late for him to start over.
Right He knew Tre wasn’t thinking straight and was hurting and it’s like he said he don’t want that part of life haunt him because if he stayed with them then he would of been dead in a matter of time they would of found him like the rest of them.. he was proud that he didn’t go down that road and and giving him some advice and warning being a protective good friend looking out for him saying that don’t ever go down that road because it will be your last time in life.. you still have your life and future ahead of you and don’t waste it that way… don’t be like me and there’s other ways to deal with hurt and grieve and other ways to deal with my brothers passing and he was kinda saying goodbye to him to because he knows that there after him he doesn’t have much time when they find him
Ice Cube skin is glowing, hair is glistening and his acting skills make me believe he is that character. The way his voice cracked when he said “violent” just touched my soul!
One of the most *poignant* and heartbreaking ending I've seen (especially when Doughboy is walking away and then fades). And a subtle message as well. All about if we want to things to change in our environments/world, we must change the culture. From parenting to law enforcement, to surrounding to politics etc. I think Doughboy said it right when he said "People care so much about other things in the world, but no one cares about what happening in the hood."
Sadly as Furious said it's designed that way. He said point blank we are targets. If we want a better community, we have to build it and defend it from without and within. That's the only way to do it.
@@austinstyles6393 correct and yet too many rely/want the government to do it for them. If any person thinks a government/the state is the answer to any problem in life then they are moronic, lazy and wacko. Governments CAUSE the majority of problems in life not solve them. The more any government/the state stays out of people's lives, the better that government is.
@@konnykontantNo child is born as good for nothing, they're made that way and in his case, having no parents that cares pushed him into becoming a criminal. You can see the difference between how the mother would take care of ricky over doughboy since they were children.
To see the movies that came out in 91 and you will understand. I just looked and in those days more movies came out in three months than I would watch than I would in a year today
My brother loved this movie, he took a bullet for a civilian woman who was pregnant. He left a 3 month old baby girl, a 10Yr old girl a new wife and a brand new built house. I myself wanted to do what doughboy did, but someone must break this cycle. Christ forgiveness is the only way to break the evil cycle as much as we want to do it the Lord said forgive for he forgave us first on the Cross
Dough boy got smoked. All his sins caught up to him. Tre's dad taught his son. And it's a fair ending. Tre left the car because of his dad. And it's how the street works.
True it's still like this in all 24 u.s. major cities hood areas.I know cuz I just moved away from the hood and for the first time I felt that I am not scared or looking over my shoulder everyday.
I’m glad in a way that they made it known that doughboy was murdered 2 weeks after burying his brother. That’s the cycle of foolishness/life in the hood. You might get whoever but if they got someone best believe they going get you too. It’s the reason why I got away from that life. It just never ends ever and now you constantly looking over your shoulder.
I grew up with so many doughboys that I can’t even remember half of them. This scenes still tugs on my heart. So much waste when there is so much misplaced talent in our cities. I’m thankful to God that I got out when I did. I pray that the youth of today can learn to walk away. Your pride isn’t worth your life.
So if god really did exist, where is the perfect world that you god loving people believe exists?

I flew into LAX late one night, my first time in the US. I missed my original flight and connection to LV, and had to be there by morning. The only way I could do it was to get the last Greyhound from the bus station in south central, so I took one of those shuttle buses to get there. We drove from the airport, through downtown and then Skid Row. What really struck me the most was how the area just seemed designed for crime - barely any street lights, pools of darkness between every building, the bus station itself seemed under siege by crackheads and drug fiends. It was profoundly depressing. I've travelled a lot, including to many developing countries, and I have to say, that part of LA is the biggest shithole I have ever seen.
You missed out on alot of other shitlhole areas of LA! The darkness and lack of street lights along with that 'desiged for crime' vibe are probably the first things that occurred to me as well when I moved there in 2009.
I know it’s a serious moment when he says “Either they don’t know, don’t show or don’t care about what’s going on in the hood” but I keep seeing the scene with Marlon Wayans saying it in Don’t Be A Menace.
The one thing I wish they would have shown in this clip is the way Doughboy tucked the 40 in his hand and hid it down by his side when he walked past the older lady on the sidewalk as a sign of respect. That was truly powerful to me. Because it shows that he was really a good young man at heart and was truly just a victim of his environment. Had to do what he had to do to survive in that environment and coming from a home where his mother chastised him and treated him horribly his whole life due to no fault of his own.
I can remember being at the Joy Theater on Canal St in New Orleans seeing this movie,this scene being at the end and as this audience was leaving and the light were raised many ladies and people in general wiping their eyes,powerful RIP John Singleton
Great movie with an unbelievable message for young people...the wrong choices can and will have an impact in your life. An amazing cast, a true Classic
I first watched this movie I was like 7/8 years old I thought it was a documentary. I watched it with my friend and his Aunty. She read the dialogue for us at the end about Doh boy getting killed two weeks later. It hit hard, so poignant so sharp the pain, the realism. It’s sad because he pours the alcohol out, knowing not vengeance not drugs nothing could numb his pain. Pouring the alcohol out and having Cuba say to him, you still have one more brother left. Like you are not alone. Sadly he couldn’t escape his situation, I always wondered did mother weep for him as much as she did for Ricky?
If that's what you want then that's what happened. It's an ambiguous ending with the only information saying doughboy was killed off screen and Tre went to college
I've brought up that question as well. I have the feeling that when she found out Doughboy was killed, she just brushed it off and didn't cry in the same way for him as she did for Ricky.
"Hey, Dough, you still have one brother left". That scene will always get to me. I Grew up in South Central L.A. in the 80s and 90s. Those were hard times.
Hearing doughboy say he ain't got no brother and no mother neither really tugs at the heart strings all he wanted was the same love from his mom as she gave Ricky but she despised him.
One goes college gets an education One dies tragically. The contrast of lives and the ingredients to each persons lives determines their outcomes. I thought this film highlighted that perfectly
I'm assuming that the people who killed Doughboy were other members of the Bloods Gang That Ferris was a member of, even though it is never mentioned by name in the movie, I believe Doughboy was a member of the Crips
This movie was such a beacon, especially at the time with all that happened in LA in the early '90s. John Singleton was in his early 20s when he directed this. Sadly Singleton lost his life to a stroke 5 years ago. What an important voice he might be today.
@@John-lf6lg Audi 5000 was a popular car in the 80s, especially in hip-hop It's another way of you saying "I'm out" AUDI meaning outtie...just shortened it to 5000
“You still got one brother left.” That was what Dough needed to hear. When you have been friends for so long that friendship transcends into brotherhood. Glad I have some friends with this kind of connection.
😢The ending always makes me cry when Cuba Gooding jr hugged Ice Cube and told him he still got one brother left so sweet and touching and it's sad how he died 2 weeks later 😢😢
Those words Doughboy said "We all got to go sometime". An inevitable thing that we all are forced to have a part in our lives that we all just so dread. I have to at least respect him for accepting it like a man. As much as I wish such a thing on no one, it is respectable when one is willing to not let it break them.
I dated a woman who couldn’t stand her son. Treated him just like doughboys mom did. Felt bad for him. Tried to show him love and kindness. But in the end me and his mother didn’t last. He’s in prison now smh
This’s a strong message that many people won’t get you can side with woke mindless people but the same media and people that say they care about you and your people won’t show you black on black crime because they don’t care and want it to continue and it has from day one. Someone that cares about you will tell you all the truth about your flaws.
It is pretty crazy how relevant it is still that our country seems to be more preoccupied with helping Ukraine and other foreign countries instead of trying to help out our own country
A very good and touching movie and it is one of those movies you can watch over and over again, even though you know how the ending will be, sad though
I saw this when I was like 6, mom showed it to me as a cautionary tale; ending always got me, the futility of it all. All the ridin and bangin they did and it was all for nothin…

And they probably didn't kill the whole gang. Which is how Doughboy then got it next. More revenge. And then even though Tre left, someone else probably still went for revenge for Dough. Cycle on and on
Alot of these young men who grew up saw people selling drugs and buy illegal weapons and grew up in the red lining

Lmao yes. Cube literally just says this. Why are you acting like you came up with this realization
Dough was a really good friend for understanding Tre not staying rather than hating him for it.
Dough knew that Tre had the ability to get the hell out of the hood and didn't resent him for it. Dough understood that he himself was already past the point of no return.

@Mr. Giggles It's the truth
Dude...so obvious your thoughts lol..let others post
A very symbolic ending. Seeing Doughboy disappear was real sad. A great movie to remember.
This is Ice Cube's best role to date
His character didn't die at all, he just moved on -- they told you he was murdered but that was a lie.
@@plainsimple244no the irl doughboy got killed 2 weeks after his brother got killed
@@redhawk44109 this movie was never based on a true story. But it is based on John Singleton's life in the hood.
That was inspired by the ending in Stand by Me.
I feel bad for Doughboy. His own momma literally hated him to the point that she hated looking at him even before he went into a life of crime as a teenager and blamed him for Ricky’s death.
doughboy pours one out for his brother before crossing the street, his mom perhaps never did two weeks later.
His mother was one of the real villains of this film. Doughboy always stood up for his friends and family and his mother hated him from the day he was born. All he wanted was her love but he never got it. Heartbreaking.
Like a Greek tragedy doughboy knew his fate. He lost the one true person he loved the most. They don’t make classic films like these anymore.
Like Bob Morales in la Bamba...Doughboy's mom is a bit like Connie Valenzuela.
U can tell Doughboy was getting emotional talking about Ricky, which is why he wanted to leave.
"Two weeks later he was murdered" still gets me every time

That and selling crack to a mother with kids or pregnant is devilish work
“Ice, the line was Bye Felicia”
I mean that’s a perfect allusion to real life.
You can’t even have a decent conversation in the hood without foolishness.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think it was also taken as a disrespect on her part for trying get something why he was on tres dad's property
When Doughboy said “I ain’t got no brother, got no mother neither” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Just hits you hard
So sad!
Still poured out the malt for Rick tho.
Especially when he said, "She loved that fool more than she loved me", that really hit me in the feels.
He never had a mother.
The fact that this was Ice Cube's first acting role is wild. He was so good in this
He would have been 20-21 years old, guy had skills years beyond his age.
He was very good. He can act and rap.
Which is why it hurts seeing him in so many bad family friendly movies. But hey. I'd do it too to get paid millions.
He did grow up in South Central surrounded by all this chaos.. I think it was easy for him to feel & understand Doughboy’s role.

He wasn't a guy who meant to cause trouble, but trouble found him due to his nature.

Tell that to his mother. Just because Doughboy's dad wasn't good, she assumed the worst in Doughboy pretty much from the start.
I've always thought of Dough as one of the many great tragic characters.
He was not kind lol. He was disrespectful to women. Stealing and selling drugs. That ain’t kind lol

What really struck me the most was how the area just seemed designed for crime - barely any street lights, pools of darkness between every building, the bus station itself seemed under siege by crackheads and drug fiends. It was profoundly depressing. I've travelled a lot, including to many developing countries, and I have to say, that part of LA is the biggest shithole I have ever seen.
You missed out on alot of other shitlhole areas of LA! The darkness and lack of street lights along with that 'desiged for crime' vibe are probably the first things that occurred to me as well when I moved there in 2009.
I know it’s a serious moment when he says “Either they don’t know, don’t show or don’t care about what’s going on in the hood” but I keep seeing the scene with Marlon Wayans saying it in Don’t Be A Menace.
Boyz In The Hood is one of the best movies ever made. Cube’s acting debut is one of the greatest. He phenomenal in this film
The one thing I wish they would have shown in this clip is the way Doughboy tucked the 40 in his hand and hid it down by his side when he walked past the older lady on the sidewalk as a sign of respect. That was truly powerful to me. Because it shows that he was really a good young man at heart and was truly just a victim of his environment. Had to do what he had to do to survive in that environment and coming from a home where his mother chastised him and treated him horribly his whole life due to no fault of his own.
I can remember being at the Joy Theater on Canal St in New Orleans seeing this movie,this scene being at the end and as this audience was leaving and the light were raised many ladies and people in general wiping their eyes,powerful RIP John Singleton
Ice Cube's film debut shows that he was a natural talented actor and should've won awards for his performance.👍👍👍✊✊✊
Great movie with an unbelievable message for young people...the wrong choices can and will have an impact in your life. An amazing cast, a true Classic
I first watched this movie I was like 7/8 years old I thought it was a documentary. I watched it with my friend and his Aunty. She read the dialogue for us at the end about Doh boy getting killed two weeks later. It hit hard, so poignant so sharp the pain, the realism. It’s sad because he pours the alcohol out, knowing not vengeance not drugs nothing could numb his pain. Pouring the alcohol out and having Cuba say to him, you still have one more brother left. Like you are not alone. Sadly he couldn’t escape his situation, I always wondered did mother weep for him as much as she did for Ricky?
If that's what you want then that's what happened. It's an ambiguous ending with the only information saying doughboy was killed off screen and Tre went to college
I've brought up that question as well. I have the feeling that when she found out Doughboy was killed, she just brushed it off and didn't cry in the same way for him as she did for Ricky.
I think his mother did mourn Doughboy wen he was gone.. sad he never got the love she gave to Ricky. If he had Doughboy mite have been different
Y’all noticed the momma blamed him for Rickey’s Death which wasn’t the case
I remember everybody the whole audience in the theater went “UGH” when Doughboy died
"Hey, Dough, you still have one brother left". That scene will always get to me. I Grew up in South Central L.A. in the 80s and 90s. Those were hard times.
This is real life, and still so relevant today!
Hearing doughboy say he ain't got no brother and no mother neither really tugs at the heart strings all he wanted was the same love from his mom as she gave Ricky but she despised him.
One goes college gets an education One dies tragically. The contrast of lives and the ingredients to each persons lives determines their outcomes. I thought this film highlighted that perfectly
Ice cube should have won Oscars for this
Damn right he should have
@@charlesbaker1688 yup, he should because he show his soft side he is.
Hilarious
@@tk6od OK walaun
You still got one brother left 😢😢😢
When Tre said that to Doughboy, it really touched my heart
I'm assuming that the people who killed Doughboy were other members of the Bloods Gang That Ferris was a member of, even though it is never mentioned by name in the movie, I believe Doughboy was a member of the Crips
This movie was such a beacon, especially at the time with all that happened in LA in the early '90s. John Singleton was in his early 20s when he directed this. Sadly Singleton lost his life to a stroke 5 years ago. What an important voice he might be today.
I always respected the fact Doughboy took his trash with him and didn't litter after he dumped it out.. we could all learn a lesson from Dough.
Yeah I wish a lot of people took that lesson around here, most people just throw their trash out the car window
Doughboy: Later G
Tre: Later
Doughboy: 5,000😢
This scene still touches me😢
What's 5000 mean ?

It's another way of you saying "I'm out"

@@darrenharris3434 🎉thanks man
“You still got one brother left.” That was what Dough needed to hear. When you have been friends for so long that friendship transcends into brotherhood. Glad I have some friends with this kind of connection.
A movie only the 90s could bring up and make
I do believe that Ricky's death was inevitable... Because of the run in with the thugs, which was the opposite for Tre.
ice cube is a great actor his anger feels so natural
That mom lost her two sons in a span of two weeks.
She physically lost Ricky and she mentally and emotionally lost Doughboy a very long time ago!
Ice Cube likely used the experience of losing his older sister to help him with this scene.
Love how doughboy said he never been up this early in a long time what a very symbolic way of saying he's finally woke💯
🙄
😢The ending always makes me cry when Cuba Gooding jr hugged Ice Cube and told him he still got one brother left so sweet and touching and it's sad how he died 2 weeks later 😢😢
The only way to hurt Doughboy was through Ricky, the sacrificial lamb, the only good thing that Doughboy cared about
He cared about Tre too, even he said Tre was right to get out of the car.
Doughboy knew....he knew his death was coming. Very scary man..
Sometimes..... you just know....
Those words Doughboy said "We all got to go sometime". An inevitable thing that we all are forced to have a part in our lives that we all just so dread. I have to at least respect him for accepting it like a man. As much as I wish such a thing on no one, it is respectable when one is willing to not let it break them.
I dated a woman who couldn’t stand her son. Treated him just like doughboys mom did. Felt bad for him. Tried to show him love and kindness. But in the end me and his mother didn’t last. He’s in prison now smh
REAL TALK,,,THIS WAS SUCH AN EMOTIONAL MOVIE,,,,LOT OF TEARS IN THE THEATRE!!!!!💯💯💯🤎🤎🤎
This was one of my dads favorite movies
This is one of the most profound and prominent scenes in a hood movie, if I ever saw one.
This’s a strong message that many people won’t get you can side with woke mindless people but the same media and people that say they care about you and your people won’t show you black on black crime because they don’t care and want it to continue and it has from day one. Someone that cares about you will tell you all the truth about your flaws.
It’s one big club and your not in it
They both turned into really good actors
3:55-5:05 hearing that wistful orchestral music, as well as Doughboy literally fading away, is so heavy. Gets me every time.
The movie not winning Oscars for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay are one of the biggest crimes in film history.
The "got no mother neither part" hurt the most, he had no chance.
Wow, when Ice Cube could actually act.
Wonders never cease.
It is pretty crazy how relevant it is still that our country seems to be more preoccupied with helping Ukraine and other foreign countries instead of trying to help out our own country
Remember this movie when it was fresh sad looking at it years later makes even more sense in today's world even more than ever
“Either they don’t know, don’t show or don’t care what goes on in the hood” crazy that this still applies today
One of my favorite movies ever
A very good and touching movie and it is one of those movies you can watch over and over again, even though you know how the ending will be, sad though
You still got one brother left man that line is sad and touching at the same time knowing that he’ll be killed next until tre is the last man standing
30 years later the news still "dont know, dont show, or dont care what goes on in the hood"
"Black men go for war for a purpose, but we are in a war with ourselves everyday."
Oshea Jackson Sr is on point here about what he mentioned in regards to the hood
His mother basically traumatized him by sending him there. Great parenting btw
She wanted him to be raised by his father, so he could teach him how to be a man.
But she tried to get him back before Rick's death, but Tre refused. Tre did this to himself
4:01 got me!
You still got one brotha left man.
Long Live Ricky , Rip John Singleton , Rip Doughboy & Long Live Uncle Jerome
AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE BY ICE CUBE!!!!!🫡🫡🫡💯💯💯
This movie still hits hard
Increase The Peace ✌🏾 ☮️
Amen.
Amen.,
Peace?…..
…..No peace…

Perfect scene. I’m still trying to find that song. Such a beautiful, yet haunting piece of music.
“I gotta go, cuz!” Even that line was deep to me for some reason.
Live your life by the smoke die by the smoke.
I saw this when I was like 6, mom showed it to me as a cautionary tale; ending always got me, the futility of it all. All the ridin and bangin they did and it was all for nothin…
Either they don't know don't show or don't care about what's going on in the hood -Doughboy
Powerful ending.
