Biscuit figured as a black gay man in the south and an ex-con at that, he was a dead man walking, so he decided to at least go out on his own terms. The guards knew this and that's why they didn't kill jangeleg for crossing the gun line so he could say goodbye. Also, by the look on claud's face u knew he realized he and ray were never leaving jail.
still wonder how this movie didn't receive any awards.
When I was a little kid I didn't understand why biscuit did that. Now I'm grown and I understand.. makes this scene a million times more sad
Despite being funny, this film is a tragic black film severely underrated.
He was accepted for who he was there. This is one of the saddest death scenes in movie history. It should be shown more.
saddest part about this is nobody wanted to actually shoot buscuit...
I love the fact that the two "cruel" guards actually hesitated to do their duties.
even the warden felt bad.

He was completely institutionalized. Too scared to face the world as the person he's turned into. This movie really touched on some real shit.
I wish Eddie Murphy made more movies like this. Excellent ensemble cast.
RIP Bernie
this film doesn't get any praise.
“World has changed a lot man, it’s 1945”😂😭
Being Gay was not okay for a Black man in 1945. Biscuit knew he would not be able to live his true life outside of the Camp so he committed suicide.
I love how at
When Jingaling calmly crossed the gun line to go pay his respects to Biscuit.....that broke me....
Saddest death in the movie.
An inmate told me once, “prison keeps a lot of men alive, that would otherwise be dead on the streets”.

You can tell even the guard had grown to have a bond with them. His hesitation to shoot I felt that.
