My perspective of Zebrahead
The plot touched a new level of interracial dating for that time. Theearly nineties opened up a door of acceptance. Yet, it was slowlyclosing a door of hate towards interracial friendships andrelationships. The plot has a seasoned flavor. You wanted to catchevery detail of the movie. You admired the friendship between Zack andDee. Dee loved Zack like a brother. However, Zack battled betweenfriendships. Although he acted so-called black around Dee, he stillremained to be in tune with his white friends. Zack was more confusedthan anything. The thought of dating a black girl was exciting. Yet, hewas interested in her beauty, her style, and mind. The two played itsafe for a while but no one really approved except for Dee. Trouble isalways around. Yet, it's sad when it lives across the street. Theinfamous "Nut" had a crush on Nikki. He did not like Zack at all. Hewas an abandoned child that was clearly uneducated. He was not a gangmember but he was full of hate due to his surroundings. What led to thetragic scene of Dee's killing was a stupid act of passion. Nikki wasvulnerable during her break-up with Zack. Nut was caring for the momentand the two kissed. She regretted the mistake, yet she left Nutconfused. So...to see Nikki and Zack rekindling there relationship madehim mad. A huge confrontation between Nut and Zack was interrupted byDee. Dee always came to Zack's rescue. He pushed Nut on the floor andNut acted out. He shot and killed Dee. Nut had intentions of shootingZack but Dee became the target. What a plot!!! Zack is hated becausetheir friendship got Dee killed. Nikki is hated because she crossed theracial barriers. Everybody is blaming the two. Overall, this movieremains to be the best interracial love story. It teaches about racism,love, young adults, violence, hate, friendship, and family.

I was impressed by this film.
Initially I suspected that this might be another rather typicalexaminationof racial strife in high school, almost of an ABC Afterschool specialcaliber. However, it was quite impressive in its portrayal not only ofracial tensions but of the quality of friendship between two young men.Michael Rapaport typically flashes a somewhat limited range in his roles(hehas most certainly been typecast by now) but his performance here hasexceptional moments - particular in the last scene of the film where hisemotion is tangible without being overdone.

Underrated gem
An outstanding performance by a young Michael Rapaport (with asmall but excellent late-career performance from Ray Sharkey)highlights this parable of prejudice and identity.It is, to my knowledge, the only produced screenplay by AnthonyDrazan, who also directed. That is a shame as he did anoutstanding job.

Intensely moving
The performances in the film are terrific. From Mike Rappaport tonew-comerN'Bushe Wright, this little sleeper hit is sure to appeal to all genders,races, ages, etc. The message in the movie is the most important part ofall. I wish I could see some more of Ray Sharkey's work, he is mostimpressive.

My brief review of the film
A well-intentioned and rather interesting study into condemnation andthe culture of the youth in the 1990s, there is however little that isdone with the material. Too much time is spent on showing why therelationship is not approved, and the film spends too little timeshowing how and why the relationship has resulted. The film has someimportant things to say in terms of prejudices in society, but, itnever manages to present them in a way so that they do not seemhackneyed. Either way, some fine acting - from both the leads inparticular - solidifies the movie when the other elements do notsuffice.

Great Movie!
I love this movie!it's so real.I grew up in Detroit right down thestreet from where they film this movie and i was a kid when they filmthis movie there. I was so surprise to see that they film it in thehigh school i graduated from Frank Cody High School 18445 cathedralDetroit,MI.And the skating rink i grew up going to,Skate Land on theeast side.That's crazy!What was film in this movie was really going onin Detroit then, it was bad.It was a lot of hate crimes likethat,Detroit was well mixed, but every race pretty much stuck to themself.It wasn't a lot if interracial couple's in Detroit back then,sowhen there was one, it was a lot of hate crimes because of it.that wasback then and even in some cases now it happens,but it's nowhere nearas bad.Detroit is still a beautiful place to live,i love it!

True to life flick
Take Save The Last Dance minus the dance and do a role reversal and yougetZebraHead. This movie which touches on interracial dating was one of thebest little seen films of 1992. Micheal Rappot as Zack proved his leadingman stauts at early age in this powerful film. I think if the film werereleased today it'd be just as powerful. If you haven't seen it youshould.

The anti-Breakfast Club!
I love this movie. Really, really love it. I went to a school like thiswithkids like these. I went home to a house like that. I was in the cafeteriathe day a racially-charged situation almost went to critical mass, and Iwaspart of a group discussion the following week, in which nothing wasresolved.Which is what I like most about this movie. It doesn't end with everyonesinging. Or dancing, or marching towards the camera, or anything likethat.The goomba and the Spike Lee guy duke it out while the Asian girl despairs(as I did), and the white guy and black girl embrace each otherhopelessly.That is life. Some differences will never be resolved, and the best youcanhope for is that *some* people will reach each other. I was praying allalong that this would not have some pat ending that could never havehappened at my school, and I was rewarded. There are no resolutions, justmoments.

great casting and acting(aside - the Detroit industrial environmental pollution is the point ofthe fire scene.... The industrial plants in the background release theirpollution to the surrounding area.)
