Short description

An Afro-American organization, the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D., is in permanent fight against a white organization "The Man" defending the values of the black people in North America. When the Afro-American candidate Gen. Warren Boutwell behaves strangely in his presidential campaign, Undercover Brother is hired to work undercover for "The Man" and find what happened with the potential candidate.

What's left behind the scenes

On the wall of the office of the character played by Chi McBride, there are photographs, specifically of actors Courtney B. Vance, Danny Glover, Andre Braugher, and Richard Pryor.
The building shown in the film is a water filtration plant in one of Toronto's districts. It served as a filming location for other projects as well, notably John Carpenter's horror film In the Mouth of Madness (1994). Following the September 11 attacks in the US, the building was permanently closed to filming.
For the shooting of the scene where Neil Patrick Harris's character emerges from a van in a cloud of drug smoke, the actor actually smoked a joint.
Jim Kelly appeared in a couple of scenes – he starred in Robert Clouse's action films 'Enter the Dragon' (1973) and 'Black Belt Jones' (1974) – but these scenes were not included in the film and were only preserved on the DVD release.
Denise Richards stated that her character's buttocks were enlarged using digital technology.
