  The opening of Rosie Perez dancing to &quot;fight the power&quot; is a great way to kick it off.

  Love Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee in this playing two people who are at each other throats until the end of the film when in reality they were married for 40+ years

  The love and hate scene is based on a similar scene from a horror noir movie called Night of the Hunter, one of Spike Lee&apos;s favorite films

  One of my all-time favorite films! This is a masterpiece, in my opinion. I think I&apos;ve seen this about 10 times and I could watch it 10 more. It&apos;s just so good, Spike Lee is an amazing filmmaker! The opening dance scene with Rosie Perez is one of my favorite openings to a movie ever! I just love this movie lol.

  Da Mayor and Mother Sister were played by real-life couple/thespians: Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee.

  I lived in Brooklyn when the film first opened. I went to see the film on opening weekend (in Times Square) and when we exited Spike Lee was outside waiting to greet people and answer questions. Do the Right Thing was a slice of life, it reflected what was really happening at the time.

  Spike Lee&apos;s Summer of Sam is another summer themed movie based around the Son of Sam killer in NYC.

  Hey Arnold S1 E6 &quot;Heat&quot; is an homage to &quot;Do The Right Thing&quot; and I never knew that until film analysis class in high school but it&apos;s one of my favorite Hey Arnold episodes.
