[edit] Similarities With Other Films
There is a scene where Tre stops someone he thinks is a drug dealer, but later finds out he's also an undercover cop, and by busting him, he foils his attempt to find out who the drug dealers' suppliers are (this is an almost word for word replica of a scene from Point Break). In fact, the similarities between this film and Point Break are varied and numerous. This movie was similar to hit indian movie Main Hoon Na
