Finally, the movie that proves that Justice isn't always Poetic, Jungle Fever isn't always pretty, and Higher Learning can be a waste of time.
When Ashtray moves to South Central L.A. to live with his father (who appears to be the same age he is) and grandmother (who likes to talk tough and smoke reefer), he falls in with his gang-banging cousin Loc Dog, who along with the requisite pistols and Uzi carries a thermo-nuclear warhead for self-defense. Will Ashtray be able to keep living the straight life?
"Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood" is a raucous American comedy film directed by Paris Barclay, released in 1996. Written by and starring Shawn and Marlon Wayans, this parody skewers the wave of '90s hood dramas like "Boyz n the Hood" and "Menace II Society" with over-the-top humor and absurd satire. The story follows Ashtray (Shawn Wayans), a young man who moves to the inner-city neighborhood of South Central to live with his father—who’s inexplicably younger than him. Alongside his wild cousin Loc Dog (Marlon Wayans), Ashtray navigates a world of gangbangers, gunfights, and quirky characters, including the tough-talking Grandma and the lovestruck Dashiki (Tracey Cherelle Jones). The film revels in poking fun at clichés, from dramatic slow-motion shootouts to melodramatic life lessons, all while delivering a barrage of slapstick gags and irreverent one-liners. Known for its outrageous comedy, memorable cameos (like Keenen Ivory Wayans as a mailman), and a hip-hop-infused soundtrack, "Don’t Be a Menace" embraces its low-budget charm and fearless absurdity. It’s a love letter to the genre it mocks, blending sharp social commentary with unapologetic silliness. Released in 1996, the film became a cult favorite among fans of spoof comedies, cementing the Wayans brothers’ reputation for boundary-pushing humor. While not a critical darling, its quotable lines and chaotic energy have kept it alive in pop culture memory.
