Morris Chestnut works out at my gym in Atlanta. He’s an extremely humble and nice man. I wish him nothing but the best

[MrKing]

The most saddest scene in the movie, became even more sad when it was revealed Ricky passed his college scholarship exam

[laurynalana]

I can’t believe John is actually gone. God rest his soul

[savajecaylala]

That scene is iconic in so many ways. The death scene, Lloyd’s facial expressions, the intensity everything

[_notparu]

Rest In Peace; John Singleton ( Director ), Lloyd Avery II ( Man who killed Ricky ) and Dedrick ( Dooky )

[kelvendyson]

Ricky's death was the saddest on screen death since Cochise from Cooley High!!

R.i.p John Singleton, one of the best black directors

It was Lloyd’s piercing eyes that made that scene... You knew he was going to get him. RIP Lloyd Avery ii

[hinkhall]

You’ll rarely see a more compelling and thoughtful movie than Boyz ‘n the Hood.

John Singleton was brilliant.

Rest in sweet paradise John! Thank you for this masterpiece 🙏🏾❤️🙌🏾

Ricky's death scene, to this day, is still one of the most disturbing and hard to watch scenes in movie history. From its raw realism, the performance actors being able to capture that feeling of hysteria and horror. Damn, just thinking about it is too much!

[wareproduction]

Didn't feel like a anniversary with no Ice Cube there

[shannonnorwood]

A trailblazer. One of the best to do it. Rest in Peace, Mr. Singleton.

[kkain]

I love John Singleton! His movies are so raw and classic.

[slowpokeZ]

The scene was framed great. The shotgun, Lloyd, the score, everything. The look on the face of “knucklehead #2” was brilliant.

[qamarnasir]

[Mimi_]
