Fear of a Black Hat | 1994 | R | - 3.3.10
A parody of rap conventions, this release follows the career of a rap group, NWH (Niggaz With Hats), much as "This Is Spinal Tap" documented the ups and downs of a rock group.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - There is no nudity, but little is left to the imagination in many of the band's videos (basically the same stuff shown everyday on MTV).
advertisement
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Comic-book-style violence: one of the group's managers gets hit by a maniacally ricocheting bullet he shoots himself in order to end a fight. One of the band members has a fixation on stockpiling guns as he prepares for some type of paranoid survival situation.
LANGUAGE 10 - F-words galore and other profanities, from the opening credits to the end, nonstop.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - The rap culture.
MESSAGE - Sex and violence sells.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Mufasa: The Lion King - 1.4.2
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - 1.3.3
The Piano Lesson - 3.5.4
Homestead - 1.5.4
