    It's amazing of how MTV goes behind the scenes of the movie 'Set it Off" in 1996. F. Gary Gray was a genius to direct this first ever black woman film since he directed and co-starred in the movie "Friday" in the year 1995. 😀

    This has always been my favorite movie and always will be, I know I've seen it at least a couple hundred times since 1996 and It will never get old, it's a timeless classic. Hats off to F. Gary Gray for directing one of the best action/drama films in movie history!

      What Frankie did was no different than Cleo jumping out the car firing an Uzi at cops. Of course she's going to get lit up.
      Cleo death was more dramatic but Frankie's death had a message for Strode. She could have easily killed him but she spared him knowing she was going to die anyway.
