Premise


After a church burning in which a preacher and his family are killed, the preacher's insane ghost (Snoop Dogg) starts killing off the members of the gang responsible.[1][2][3]


Cast



Production


Director Pyun shot Urban Menace simultaneously with The Wrecking Crew and Corrupt in a derelict factory in Eastern Europe, originally intending Urban Menace and The Wrecking Crew as sections of a single film; the producers decided to make two films. The budget only permitted two stuntmen, making deaths repetitive. Pyun often superimposed the stars' faces onto stand-ins. Half the finished film was lost in transit, requiring substitution of rough duplicate footage; large parts of Urban Menace are in black and white and the photography is often blurry.[4]


Reception


The film was regarded as low-quality; the DVD provides an option of skipping it and simply listening to Ice-T rapping.[3] However, one critic praises the hip-hop and rap soundtrack and crisp sound effects.[4]
