When Slammer (Jim Brown) asks Jack Spade (Keenen Ivory Wayans), "What makes you think you can be a black hero?", Spade responds by saying, "I'm an ex-football player," and Slammer backs off. Brown played football for the Cleveland Browns from 1957-1965 and is in the NFL Hall of Fame. 'Bernie Casey' was also a professional football player before becoming an actor, as was 'Fred Williamson', another movie hero. See more »

In all the other post about this incredible classic comedy, but after reading everyone's favorite parts, I can't believe that NO ONE mentioned Anne Marie Johnsons part as the disassembling slut.
Along with the broken pimped-out shoes, Here are my favorite scenes:
The Pimp of the Year award.
One rib. ("I sure am hungry").
NOoooooo!!Cramps!!.
The demonic woman starting her period.
The Stairs or the window.
OH Damn, let's just say this is one of my all time favorite comedies. Keenan Wayans freshman venture into directing was among his best.
