Epps, just 17 during filming, emerged with lots of big movie roles coming his way, from college dramas The Program and Higher Learning to a stint on "ER" to mainstream sequels like Major League II (taking over Wesley Snipes' role) and Scream 2. Juice celebrates its 30th Anniversary with a largely pleasing and overall excellent - but not quite perfect - Native 4K Dolby Vision HDR (and HDR10) transfer. Images copyright 1992 Paramount Pictures, Island World, Moritz/Heyman Productions, and 2017 Paramount Home Entertainment. Nearly anyone who was anyone in the early '90s rap scene (from Too Short and Salt-N-Pepa to Cypress Hill, Big Daddy Kane, and the aforementioned Naughty by Nature) wound up on the soundtrack, which would be certified gold in barely two months. The image was always a bit grungy to mimic the street elements of the film, but things like jackets, or green painted walls really do look impressive.

Its volumes placement and mixing between vocals, effects and music is where much of the issue lies with the emphasis carrying a little much on the music to the detriment of the other fields.

The piece details Dickerson’s struggle to remain true to his original vision, his desire to cast fresh new talent, the challenges of shooting on location in Harlem, and the reasons why the film’s ending was changed. The management works very hard to make sure the community is running the best software, best designs, and all the other bells and whistles.

Hours after a brief but passionate debate about whether to get involved for a cut of the heist (they sit this one out), the guys learn that Blizzard has been shot dead by police. The Wrecking Crew — The film's surviving lead actors talk about how they came to be cast in the film and the bonds they immediately formed with one another. But since 2002, Dickerson has remained very much a television director, albeit on shows as respected as "The Walking Dead", "Dexter", "The Wire", and "ER.

But the film is compelling and authentic, giving us a slice of life rarely seen in Hollywood films then and still rarely seen to this day. Fittingly, Juice was written and directed by Lee’s frequent cinematographer at that point, Ernest R.
