Directed by: Ted Demme
Starring: Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Bernie Mac, Nick Cassavetes, Obba Babatunde
Revealing mistake: When Claude and Ray are at the retirement home getting ready for bed, as Ray lifts up his shirt you will see where it looks like he's wearing a fat suit underneath. He can also be seen pulling it down to his waist.
Claude Banks: Oh yard boy, Mrs. Myrtle could use some attention - perhaps some fertilizer would restore its exuberance. Get yo ass to work.
Trivia: Fun to spot - In the scene where Eddie Murphy is fighting the big guy, after a while he says, "I know a bitch named Della who hit harder than you." Here, he is referring to Della Reese, whom he fought with in Harlem Nights.

Answer: Because he is gay. In the time this movie is set, being homosexual was not only an extreme moral and religious taboo, but it was illegal in most parts of the US. Buscuit is too ashamed of letting his mother find out about his relationship with Jangleleg, so he runs, knowing the guards will shoot him dead.
