Storyline
Plot Summary |
The gangster Nino has a gang who call themselves Cash Money Brothers. They get into the crack business and not before long they make a million dollars every week. A cop, Scotty, is after them. He tries to get into the gang by letting an ex-drug addict infiltrate the gang, but the attempt fails miserably. The only thing that remains is that Scotty himself becomes a drug pusher.

Did You Know?
Trivia | On Inside the Actors Studio (1994), Chris Rock claimed that for several years following his acclaimed performance as a crack addict, drug dealers would approach him and put crack and cocaine in his pocket; joking that "they thought it was a documentary." He stated that, although he knew people who used crack at the time, he never did and, in his 1997 memoir "Rock This" had only smoked marijuana twice. See more » |
Goofs | Pookie's time inside the Carter was extensively videotaped, and those tapes, which included G Money giving the order to kill Pookie after his cover is blown, were all saved by the cops. Despite all that taped evidence that could be used to either convict G Money and several others and/or flip them as witnesses against Nino, the operation is declared a total failure and the tapes are never used.
