Squad) is an American film released in 1994. The film depicts a team of African Americans who kidnap fellow black people whom they feel have betrayed their community and seek to "deprogram" them so that they will change their ways.[1] In the film, the squad's acronym DROP stands for "Deprogramming and Restoration of Pride".[2] The film has been described as "[p]art thriller, part social satire".[3] The film was based in part on The Session, a 45-minute film which director David Johnson had made in 1988 on a budget of $20,000,[4] and ultimately derived from a short story by David C. Taylor titled "The Deprogrammer".[5] Johnson described the differences between the two films as follows: "The short film was basically satire, an absurdist piece .... D.R.O.P. Squad, on the other hand, is realism. The characters have more at stake."[4] Spike Lee served as executive producer for the film.[6]PlotThe film portrays an advertising executive, Bruford Jamison (Eriq La Salle) who is in charge of the "minority development division" for an advertising agency.[1][5] Among the ad campaigns he is involved with is one for a malt liquor called "Mumblin' Jack", whose billboard depicts a woman in a skimpy bikini straddling a bottle, with the slogan "It Gits Ya Crazy!"[1][5] Another ad campaign depicted in the film is a commercial filled with racial stereotypes (in which Spike Lee has a cameo) for a fried chicken restaurant's Gospel-Pak, which offers a Bible verse printed on every napkin.[6][7] Bruford's sister Lenora (Nicole Powell) calls in the Drop Squad to deprogram him.[5] Bruford winds up being subjected to three weeks of psychological and physical brutality.[6] Among the other persons who are shown being subjected to the deprogramming are a corrupt politician and a drug dealer.[5] The film also depicts a conflict among the members of the Drop Squad as to the tactics they should use. Rocky (Vondie Curtis-Hall), the squad's leader, believes in using only nonviolent tactics,[1] such as "subjecting them to a barrage of slides, posters, slogans and family photographs in hopes of restoring their sense of community",[7] while Garvey (Ving Rhames) believes that harsher methods have become necessary.[2] ResponseThe total North American box office gross for the film was $734,693.[8] Drop Squad has been suggested as a possible influence on Spike Lee's 2000 film Bamboozled.[9][10]References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |title= 'Drop Squad' |first=Hal |last=Hinson |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/dropsquadrhinson_b00989.htm |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=1994-10-28 |accessdate=8 January 2011}} 2. ^1 {{cite news |title=Come Back Brother |first=Yvonne R. |last=Keith |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dq44E0M8CoIC&pg=PA37&dq=%22drop+squad%22&hl=en&ei=ggooTan1KtOUnQfsvK2TAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCQQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22drop%20squad%22&f=false |newspaper=Black Professional |date=Fall 1994 |page=37 |accessdate=8 January 2011}} 3. ^{{cite news |title=Spike Lee's 'Drop Squad' Falls Short |first=Leonard |last=Klady |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=YuhgAAAAIBAJ&sjid=xHINAAAAIBAJ&pg=3309,490003&dq=satirical+drama+drop-squad&hl=en |newspaper=The Rochester Sentinel |location=Rochester, Ind. |agency=Variety |date=1995-01-11 |page=6, Compass section |accessdate=9 January 2011}} 4. ^1 {{cite news |title=Making Movies |author=Eugene Holley Jr. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dCwEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA111&dq=%22drop+squad%22&hl=en&ei=YQ8oTdnuPN3pnQeYgPWIAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CCwQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22drop%20squad%22&f=false |newspaper=Vibe |date=November 1994 |page=111 |accessdate=8 January 2011}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news |title=What does Spike Lee's 'Drop Squad' mask? |first=Ida |last=Peters |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ysIlAAAAIBAJ&sjid=APUFAAAAIBAJ&pg=1212,4439112&dq=drop-squad+movie+%7C+film&hl=en |newspaper=The Baltimore Afro-American |date=1994-10-29 |page=B6 |accessdate=8 January 2011}} 6. ^1 2 {{cite news |title=Drop Squad |first=Roger |last=Ebert |authorlink=Roger Ebert |url=http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19941028/REVIEWS/410280303/1023 |newspaper=Chicago Sun-Times |date=1994-10-28 |accessdate=9 January 2011}} 7. ^1 {{cite news |title=Film Review; A Satirical Look at Black Yuppies |first=Janet |last=Maslin |authorlink=Janet Maslin |url=https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9507E7D6133FF93BA15753C1A962958260 |newspaper=The New York Times |date=1994-10-28 |accessdate=9 January 2011}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=dropsquad.htm |title=Drop Squad |work=Box Office Mojo |accessdate=8 January 2011}} 9. ^{{cite book |title=Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies, & Bucks: An Interpretive History of Blacks in American Films |last=Bogle |first=Donald |authorlink=Donald Bogle |edition=4th |year=2001 |publisher=Continuum |location=New York |isbn= |pages=361–362 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Sz7K1c9QSoMC&pg=PA362&dq=bamboozled+%22drop+squad%22&hl=en&ei=PvgpTdz1BM6CngeCurjkAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCMQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=bamboozled%20%22drop%20squad%22&f=false |accessdate=2011-01-09}} 10. ^{{cite book |title=Doug Pratt's DVD: Movies, Television, Music, Art, Adult, and More! |last=Pratt |first=Douglas |year=2004 |publisher=Harbor Electronic Publishing |location=New York |isbn=1-932916-00-8 |volume=1 |page=109 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DTUw1SDQECoC&pg=PA109&dq=bamboozled+%22drop+squad%22&hl=en&ei=PvgpTdz1BM6CngeCurjkAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=bamboozled%20%22drop%20squad%22&f=false |accessdate=2011-01-09}} External links
