Plot Summary

"Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking your Juice in the Hood" is a parody of several U.S. films about being in the 'Hood', for instance "Boyz n the Hood", "South Central", "Menace II Society", "Higher Learning" and "Juice". We follow Ashtray as he returns to the place he grew up in and meet his father and his basket-case friends. Crazy stuff happens. For example, Ashtray is older than his father and his best friend Loc Dog's grandmother is a trigger-happy old lady who blames her eccentric-looking kid for not being tough enough. Written by Rune Dahl Fitjar

Taglines 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. See more »

Trivia (at around 4 mins) Early in the film, Shawn Wayans's character says that his father is only a few years older than him. Lahmard J. Tate, who plays Ashtray's father, is less than two years older than Wayans. Cuba Gooding Jr. is only 7 years younger than Laurence Fishburne, who played his character's father in Boyz n the Hood (1991). See more »
Goofs (at around 9 mins) When Ashtray is getting a haircut from his dad, in one frame he's wearing a barber cape in the next one he's not wearing one, then right before the scene is over he's wearing it again. See more »
