Anecdotes
Tupac Shakur was originally cast to play Sharif but was fired, which led to a physical fight with co-director Allen Hughes. Shakur was charged with assault and battery and bragged about the altercation on an appearance on Yo! MTV Raps (1988). A tape of the appearance was played at the trial as evidence against Shakur, and he was sentenced to fifteen days in jail.

Gaffes
Before the drive-by shooting at the end of the film, Illena's cousin is seen loading an Uzi machine pistol, and when the shooting is about to begin, he aims this gun out of the car window. However, when the shooting actually starts, he has changed over to a TEC-9, a completely different type of machine pistol.

Citations
[Caine Lawson reflecting after being shot]
Caine: After stomping Ilena's cousin like that, I knew I was gonna have to deal with that fool someday. Damn. I never thought he'd come back like this, blasting. Like I said, it was funny like that in the hood sometimes. I mean, you never knew what was gonna happen, or when. I'd done too much to turn back, and I'd done too much to go on. I guess in the end it all catches up with you. My grandpa asked me one time if I care whether I live or die. Yeah, I do. Now it's too late.

Autres versions
The Criterion Collection director's cut on LaserDisc includes the following additional footage:
An extra shot of bullets leaving the back of the guy Samuel L. Jackson kills
An extra shot of Awax holding the gang member while he shoots him
An small scene showing how Caine and O Dog brake into the car in the garage
Two extra shots of bullet wounds during the final scene
It also includes two deleted scenes; the funeral of Caine's cousin and a scene at his grandparents' house after the funeral

One of the best movies in 1993

Menace 2 Society is in my opinion the best "Ghetto Gangster"-Movie of all time. So powerful, so strong. Perfectly showing the hard life young black people go through in the ghetto. The main-characters are Caine, and O-Dog. Caine, is not the typical gangster, he had a very hard childhood, with a dealer as father and a junkie as mother, but he doesn't want to live this kind of live and tries to change it. O-Dog is the opposite, a young man who's afraid of nothing and always has trouble with the justice. The movie shows us the road that both, including there friends pass in this strange world of drugs, violence.

The best film the Hugh-Brother ever made, simply a must see, you will love it!!!
