If you're in the mood for absurdist '90s comedy that gleefully skewers gang culture movies, this Wayans Brothers cult classic is absolutely your move—it's silly, smart, and endlessly quotable. Skip it only if parody humor and over-the-top satire aren't your jam.

Plot

When Ashtray moves to South Central L.A. to live with his father (who appears to be the same age he is) and grandmother (who likes to talk tough and smoke reefer), he falls in with his gang-banging cousin Loc Dog, who along with the requisite pistols and Uzi carries a thermo-nuclear warhead for self-defense. Will Ashtray be able to keep living the straight life?
