What is your favorite scene?


There are so many great ones.

If I had to choose only one, it would be when Buggin' Out, Radio Raheem and Smiley burst into Sal's at the end of the night with "Fight The Power" blasting. The Dutch angles, along with the music and the intensity on everyone's faces makes that scene completely unforgettable for me.

Gotta be the last scene with sal and mookie. I still don't fully understand it makes me feel a lot. Every time I watch it I want to watch it again

Great scene. You can really feel Sal's heartbreak when he talks about how he worked so hard to build the business.

The racist stereotype scene, where they all go off hurling insults and slurs at the camera. That scene is genius.

Wendy? Darling? Light, of my life!

+1 for The racist stereotype scene.

Also the scene where Da Mayor has his soliloquoy about stuggling to feed his 5 kids and the one guy from Martin Lawrence's posse fires back at him that he's got no respect for Da Mayor and that Da Mayor's struggle is self-inflicted. I sided more with Da Mayor initially but I think both sides have valid points (one of the underlying themes of the movie).

Opening credits are unique and memorable.
