O-Dog (Larenz Tate) shoots the grocer because the man has said, "I feel sorry for your mother." Then he kills the wife. It takes no time for the difference between Caine and O-Dog to become clear, though, and for viewers to realize that the violent, provocative "Menace II Society" is about seeing beyond stereotypes.
They look and act like what they are - members of the hip-hop generation, where attitude is everything - but the Koreans obviously think they are about to be robbed. O-Dog's pants are slung fashionably low, showing several inches of his boxer shorts the boys shuffle in as if they own the place, and O-Dog opens his quart bottle of beer while walking toward the cash register. When two black teenagers, Caine and O-Dog, walk into a Korean grocery at the start of "Menace II Society," the store owner and his wife see a dangerous pair.
