Summary of The L.A. Riot Spectacular

This brazen, gleefully un-P.C. satire from director Marc Klasfeld takes on the highly controversial topic of the Rodney King trial and ensuing deadly rioting in Los Angeles, turning a fearless satirical eye on the city's racial strife, the trial, the Los Angeles Police Department, and the media, among other targets. The diverse cast includes Snoop Dogg (covering Ice-T's classic "Colors"), Charles Durning, Emilio Estevez, Charles S. Dutton, and Ron Jeremy.

Critics Reviews

Los Angeles Times
Klasfeld has for his feature film debut churned out a lifeless series of sketch-comedy ideas that presumably would make even the Wayans brothers blanch at their broadness.
Variety
A comedy that's vulgar, disturbing, distasteful and violent, but so is injustice and civil unrest.
