Go To

  • All-Star Cast: Samuel L. Jackson, Lynn Whitfield and Diahann Carroll.
  • Billing Displacement: Lynn Whitfield (Roz) is often listed as a co-star to Samuel L. Jackson, but her character is at most secondary to Eve.
  • Focus Group Ending: The original ending (and the one used for the Director's Edition) left ambiguous who started the line blurring kiss between Louis and his eldest daughter Cecily. When test audiences disliked this, the ending was changed to reveal a more definitive version of events.
  • He Also Did: Many will remember Tamara Tunie from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit but don't know that voicing an adult Eve is one of her her earlier roles.
  • Real-Life Relative:
    • Eve and Poe are played by real-life siblings Jurnee and Jake Smollet, explaining their onscreen chemistry.
    • Kasi Lemmons' husband Vondie Curtis-Hall plays Julian Grayraven.
