Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of Nino Brown's gang?

Answer: Cash Money Brothers

It's CMB for short. The gang's name is repeated countless times throughout the movie. The Lennox Ave. Boys were a gang that Nino belonged to in his earlier days on the streets, when he killed Scottie's mother. There were no gangs known as the New Jacks or the Carter Project Gang.
2. Early on, Nino said: "You gotta rob to get rich in the _________".

Answer: Reagan era

He was talking to Kareem, his newest employee, who mentioned how his decision to work for Nino instead of a bank was based on logic and economics. Selina said he was attracted to Nino's entrepreneurial spirit.
3. What was Gee-Money's real first name?

Answer: Gerald

Chief Stone mentions his name to Scottie early on, when he is getting briefed on the CMB and their operations.
4. What do the locals call the courtyard at the Carter project where people stay to get high?

Answer: The Enterprise

They call it the Enterprise because, in Pookie's own words: "when you're getting high, they say you're beaming up to Scottie... it's like crackhead is the final frontier..." Hence the "Star Trek" reference.
5. What crime boss did Nino and his gang have constant problems with?

Answer: Don Armateo

Nino used to work for Don Armateo, but he branched out on his own with CMB, and this did not make the Don happy. Among other things, Nino told off his right-hand man, Frankie Needles, then on another occasion he forcibly cut off Frankie's pony tail. Eventually the situation got so bad that Nino sent a pair of his men (even with masks on, I'm almost positive the shooter was Gee-Money), who gunned down Armateo in front of a cafe in Little Italy.
6. Which of the following is not relevant to Kareem Akhbar's character?

Answer: He cut a side deal with Scottie.

Kareem was Nino's girlfriend, Selina's, cousin,and his forte was computers, so naturally he set up the CMB's system. He was the one who referred Pookie to Gee-Money, who then promoted Pookie to a better position. All the while Pookie was undercover for Scottie and Piretti.

At the beginning of the movie, when Scottie busts Pookie in the street, Kareem is seen in the crowd looking on. At the end of the movie, he is the one who makes Scottie out to be a cop. Also at the end, during Nino's trial, Nino tries to beat the case by saying that Kareem was the real head of the CMB.

As for cutting a side deal with Scottie, that was something Gee-Money did.
7. Who was the singer at the wedding where the gunfight erupted between the CMB and the Italians?

Answer: Keith Sweat

He was one of many artists to make a cameo appearance in the movie, along with Public Enemy's Flava Flav and the R&B group, Guy.
8. What does the old man from the Carter building repeatedly refer to Nino as?

Answer: Idolater

The old man hated Nino for turning his building into a drug complex, and for getting people hooked on the idol that was freebase. He was so angry about this that he made two separate attempts on Nino's life: the first time he was foiled by Scottie (who of course had to maintain his cover as someone Nino could trust).

The second time he was successful, shooting Nino dead just outside the courtroom after Nino's trial.
9. Fill in the missing words from this Nino Brown quote to Scottie: "My brother, it's always business, _________."

Answer: never personal

Nino was telling Scottie about the time he killed an innocent stranger (who turned out to be Scottie's mother) to get into the L.A. Boys gang. Scottie tried to act like he was on Nino's side, saying it was just business, and nothing personal, to which Nino replied with the above quote.
10. Which member of Nino's gang ends up on crack late in the movie?

Answer: Gee-Money

After Nino chews out Gee-Money in front of everyone for letting the Carter get infilitrated, we see Gee-Money saying wedding vows to a crackpipe before lighting up. Later, we notice him looking somewhat haggard when he meets with Scottie and Piretti, who of course were undercover at the time.
