Tupac plays his cousins music twice during the movie; 1. From a boombox during a break in the trip and 2. When Tupac visits his cousins studio. A dreamlike scene where Justice walks through a field and a herd of zebras appear as "Phenomenal Woman" is read in voice over was cut out from the film.
It was shown at test screenings, but wasn't well received by the audience. This took place in the sequence where Lucky and Justice are talking to each other at the African festival, she starts daydreaming while they ask each other questions. This scene was not included in the deleted scenes of the Blu-ray release. The "Phenomenal Woman" poem was later moved over to the scene of Justice in her bedroom making the decision to stop wearing black and gray all the time.
Friends of John Singleton inspired certain characters for the film. Fatima who is a hairstylist and a former cosmetology student. John Singleton originally had the idea of Maya Angelou being a palm reader and reading Justice's palm, she would tell Justice to go on the trip. This idea was scrapped and he replaced the character with the hair salon owner Jessie. Iesha was originally going to be named "Peaches", John Singleton changed it when he was inspired by the song "Iesha" by the hip-hop group Another Bad Creation.
Chicago was also originally going to be named J-Bone, this name was instead used for the other baby father of the mother of Lucky's child. John Singleton originally tried writing his own poems for Justice, but really struggled and ended up using Maya Angelou's poems. John Singleton started writing Poetic Justice in early during the editing of Boyz N the Hood, while working on the sound. He started writing the script on February 1st and ended up finishing it in August John Singleton's original idea for Poetic Justice was to do an army film because he was upset that a friend of his was sent to fight in the Persian Gulf.
It was going to be about a young GI's wife named Justice who would marry a guy who was recruited from South Central Los Angeles and then would go off to live on an army base in Japan, or the Philippines or Northwest.
The man would spend all his money on his truck and not in supporting his family, he would would eventually get mad at one of his CEOs and end up punching him out which gets him sent to jail. Justice would send him poems while he's locked up, she'd have many babies but with no money. The idea of Justice working at a hair salon came from her originally doing the hair of other army wives for extra money.
John Singleton ended up giving up on the army idea since he'd have to do extensive research on living on an army base. John Singleton had an idea for a scene which took place at the swap meet where Justice and Iesha would talk about men. Iesha would then end up buying hair for Justice's braids. The ending of the movie was originally going to take place at the Crenshaw Cafe after Lucky visits Justice at the hair salon where she would have originally invited him to go eat. She then would wait for him at the Cafe, but almost end up leaving since he's late.
Lucky finally arrives and they sit down for lunch, it would have ended with a view of them from across the street. A coworker of Lucky and Iesha's boyfriend, Chicago's inflated sense of self and comedic one-liners initially make him a favorable character, however, his insecurity, coupled with Iesha's apparent lack of respect for him, turns the mail truck into a powder keg which explodes and culminates in an act of domestic violence and creates division among himself and his partner-in-crime.
Plus, Lucky throwing Chicago's trusty brush into the canyon was one of the most hilarious, yet fitting moments in one of the best movies of the decade. One constant theme throughout Poetic Justice was its commentary on the state of relations between men and women, with both sides weighing in on the issue.
Moments like the infamous salon scene where Lucky first encounters Justice and her man-eating boss Jessie, and his intense arguments with Justice during their trek to Oakland are just a few of a handful of instances in Poetic Justice that tackle men and women's gripes with one another and the disconnect that occurs at times within the black community as a result.
Wowing audiences with his portrayal of Bishop in the film Juice , Tupac Shakur was touted as an artist with the acting chops to thrive in Hollywood. However, being typecast into roles as a thug or criminal has stunted the careers of many actors, let along artists looking to make the transition into film. So when Tupac was cast as Lucky, a law-abiding mailman and caring father looking to help his cousin pursue their dream, the role was the polar opposite of Bishop and was a testament of his range as an actor and his ability to play characters that didn't align with his image as a rapper.
Long before feminism became a topic of discussion in the mainstream, Poetic Justice helped introduce a nation of black women to the movement through Jackson's character Justice, who demanded respect from men like Lucky and helped uplift women like her friend Iesha and inspired them to love themselves.
In addition to her strength and lack of tolerance for being objectified or called out of her name, Justice also displays a vulnerability that belies her hardened exterior, particular in her comfort of Lucky and their unlikely romance.
