Isn't this film parodied by 'Don't be a menace?'

Some of it is, including the title--Coasttocoast 23:51, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Should it be mentioned that the names Dookie and Monster are also referrenced in the movie Poetic Justice? Dark Rain

There is no end spoiler tag. Should it go right before the Awards section? Cosmo-san 16:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] theres a porno with a spoof title

i think it should be included, someone removed it stating it wasnt sourced, although it actually was.^{T ALK}•^QR_C2006•¢ʘñ†®¡ß§ 23:07, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Does it have any similarity to Boyz n the Hood except for the title? Ward3001 20:16, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

the play on words it does. hood the movie is the ghetto neighborhood, in this porn film they too revolve around the hood theme, uncircumsized penises, also both have black casts^{T ALK}•^QR_C2006•¢ʘñ†®¡ß§ 22:22, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia's primary guideline for trivia states that trivia items should be avoided and remain in the article only as a temporary step toward integrating them into the article's main text. If the item cannot be reasonably integrated into the main text, it should be deleted. A porn movie that only has a couple of title words and a black cast in common can't be reasonably integrated into the Boyz n the Hood article. If Boys With A Hood is notable enough for inclusion, then just about anything is notable enough, which would result in an unending trivia section. As stated in Wikipedia:Trivia: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, so some degree of selectivity should always be used. Leave it out. Ward3001 23:03, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

i disagree if there were say 20 pieces of far noteworthier trivia i would exclude it sure, because that would have reached the level of indiscrimination however only you seem to object to it. so i'll put it in.^{T ALK}•^QR_C2006•¢ʘñ†®¡ß§ 00:42, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

As usual your argument makes little sense and has false assumptions. First of all, non-notable trivia that can't be integrated into the main article isn't made more notable by the absence of other trivia items. It's still non-notable. So if you don't plan to rationally integrate Boys With A Hood into the main Boyz n the Hood article (not a trivia section) with a basis beyond similar title and black cast, leave it out. Secondly, I'm apparently not the only one who objects. Note that I'm not the only one who has removed it. I try to avoid edit wars, and I hope that's not where you're headed. But if you insist on repeatedly re-inserting it I'll seek mediation and, if necessary, formal arbitration. Ward3001 01:01, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Ward3001 is clearly right here; there seems to be no reason to suppose that there's any connection between the film and this article. RfCis the best first step; if Qrc2006 continues to insist on including this, I'll post the article there. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 08:29, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
