Ranking Roger lost his battle with C.
In the spirit of the current political bullshit maybe a remake of this with a title change to 'Stand down Theresa' is in order?

Just heard this. Boyz was a terrific film and even my 13 year old son is a massive fan. Shaft was also damn cool. Still relatively young as well. A genuine cinematic pioneer and someone who deserves all the plaudits.

Yeah, bit of a shock. I also forgot how young he was when he directed Boyz in the Hood.
Apparently the TV show he was running, Snowfall, is pretty good. I keep meaning to watch it and never get round to it so may give it a go now.

Glad they edited out his voice though.

@jegga yeah you dont wanna speculate but seems that way
No ‘seems’ about it. When the numbers are at the end it’s a given what happened.
I met him a few times years ago, my ex wife’s mate flatted with him. Nice bloke.
