Releasing January 12th 1996, Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (or simply Don't Be a Menace) is a 1996 American hood comedy film directed by Paris Barclay in his feature directorial debut, written and starring Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans along with contributions by Phil Beauman. In the film, two cousins explore the surreal, comedic world of South Central Los Angeles. Don't Be a Menace spoofs several 1990s hood films, notably Menace II Society (1993), South Central, Juice (both 1992), and Boyz n the Hood (1991). It features cameos by actors from those films, often parodying their original roles. Produced by Keenen Ivory Wayans, it is the Wayanses' second film to parody black film culture and African-American society, after I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988). #90sthrowback #90snostalgia #nostalgia #growingupinthe90s #childhoodmemories #90s #1990s #dontbeamenacetosouthcentralwhiledrinkingyourjuiceinthehood #DontBeAMenace
