Trivia: Spike Lee had "Tawana Told The Truth!" painted on a wall where Mookie and Jade argue. That is a reference to Tawana Brawley, who claimed on Nov. 28, 1987, that she was raped, but it was determined in Oct. '88 that she lied about being raped. Unfortunately, when Do The Right Thing was being filmed between July 18 and Sept. 14, 1988, the case was still under investigation, and the hoax was not known at that time. Spike Lee was trying to bring some awareness to the case by commenting on it in his film. (01:14:24 - 01:15:38)

Character mistake: In the highlighted newspaper article entitled 'DeFeo Son Accused' about the killings, the first sentence of the article ends with two periods. Also, in the 3rd sentence, the word 'psychiatric' is spelled "psuchiatric" with a 'u' instead of a 'y'. (00:01:05)
