Obviously a jab at white people

I've never seen a black directed movie include so many stereotypes of white people: dumb Italian-Americans, overzealous rednecks, smooth talking Brits, nerdy associates etc.

Didnt it seem weird to the rest of yall? :)

Its not the director who wrote the movie.

Well the director can decide the look and feel of it though.

I think you're taking things way too seriously. Lighten up a bit!

[–] loomis1981 11 years ago

Nothing serious, its a fun thing to discuss. I don't hate stereotypes at all, its amusing that theyre so prominent in this movie.

For what it's worth, this was written with Stallone in mind to play John Cutter. He passed on it, and needless to say they cast Snipes. Good move too, I like Sly and all, but Snipes was pretty bad-ass in this.

If Stallone was originally cast as Cutter then the line "always bet on black" could have only come from Snipes or the director.

It would've been even funnier if Stallone said it.

DISPLAY thy breasts, my Julia!
