Hello and welcome back to what went wrong. This is the second half of our

coverage of John Singleton's Boys in the Hood. If you miss part one, give it a

listen and then circle back for Part 2.

And without further ado, I give you Boys in the Hood. And action. If you're going to make a movie about South Central, John Singleton was insistent,

we have to shoot the movie in South Central.

So there were three major consequences

to this decision.

First of all, they were going to shoot

in relatively uncontrolled environments.

They ended up using both the LAPD

and the fruit of Islam as security.

And if you guys remember, Spike Lee used to use Fruit of Islam for security on do the right thing.

And they are the like security side of Muslim Brotherhood.

They would be shooting next to basically many of the homes of the cast and crew members.

And I think, John, you guys talked about like Nia Long had a comment,

like she could have walked to set but she didn't walk home from set like one or two times on the film right here's the real benefit though who do you not want to come to set when you're shooting a movie?

The studio. The studio studio they're not going to show up. Yeah, so the studio just never came

But where is it? Oh nice good for you guys. Yeah, we had meetings. We have a couple of meetings.

Yeah, we've just, we've blocked out our calendars for the next 38 days, but we will see you guys at the

rap party.

Oh no, it's gonna be down there too?

Okay.
