The film was released in the United States on January 12, 1996. It stars the brothers Shawn and Marlon Wayans, who were also both writers with Phil Beauman. Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (or simply Don't Be a Menace) is a 1996 American black comedy film directed by Paris Barclay in his feature film directorial debut, and produced by Keenen Ivory Wayans.
