Poet Heads

Throughout the production, it was felt that there was something helping the production overcome mishaps. An example of this... the scene in the coffee shop where Dead Serious explains to The Reporter that "every 32 seconds, someone dies of a heart attack." The Reporter asks him where he gets that stuff and Dead Serious holds up a newspaper. Well, the scene was about to be shot but no one brought a newspaper. The cast and crew were in an alley outside the coffee shop deciding how to re-work the scene because there was no time to get a paper. Keep in mind, the original line from Dead Serious was actually, "every 32 seconds in LA somebody is shot by a gang banger." The wind starts to blow, and a local newspaper blows up against Will Kane's (Dead Serious) leg. He picks it up and in bold letters it reads, 'young boy shot by gang banger.' While it was sad for the boy who was shot, it brought a chill to the group.
