is one of the most hilariously awesome premises to a movie ever.

The soundtrack was bigger than the movie.

But the movie is all based off a kid named Nutso LITERALLY jumping out of the gym....to his untimely death.

The basketball scenes are terrible.

The main character shoots a 7 foot jump shot to show off in one of the most pathetic displays in the history of sports. It would be like throwing the ball from second base to the pitcher and saying "You like that shit???"

2pac is horrible in this. He was great in Juice.

Anyways, R.I.P. Nutso

Basically the same character. No one knew Pac had range as an actor until Poetic Justice.

Way more believable in Juice.

In this he's very mechanical. Specifically in the scene at the cemetary where he snaps on his brother. He snaps too quick. Its not believable. Its like two different scenes.

Watching Juice it was like you didnt know what the fuck he was gonna do or who he was gonna kill

Oh and "Coach" the old timer Italian guy who works with kids in the communtiy is a cliche and a half.

Why is it always an italian coach?

Isn't Bernie Mac the bum? Or is it Marlon Wayans?

Bernie Mac is Flip the Bum

Marlon Wayans is the fresh out of jail joker who introduces the main character to Birdie (2 pac)

Proabably could have picked a tougher name than Birdie for a supposed crime lord.

Is this the movie where some dude jumps up to the rim, grabs off a dollar and leaves four quarters?

What I always wanted to know was, when did a few buck fiddy's to the face kill somebody? We were left to assume he shot him later or something?

Isn't that when Janet Jackson found out that Pac had range as a lover? I think the tale of her changing her cellphone # immediately after the production is one of those for-sure LOLs of all-time.

This is one of those movie that when it 1st came out it was fuckin awesome and then seeing it now you realize how bad it is. I still like it though

Easily one of the best soundtracks. Too bad they only kept playing Pump Pump and Pain :lol:
