Jungle Fever, a culmination of
Soike Lee's earlier films, examines
sex, race relations and even drug
abuse.
When Flipper Purify, a married
African-American architect from
Harlem, falls for Angie Tucci ?
his Italian-American secretary ?
their inter-racial relationship rocks
both of their worlds.
Flipper, played by Wesley
Snipes, confides in his best friend
Cyrus, played by Spike Lee, who
doesn't react until he finds out
she's white. He refuses to believe
that they've actually had sex. "You
didn't bone her, did ya? (Flipper
nods.) Both of yous' gots the fever

Angie, played by Annabelle Sciorra,
is also warned by her friends
that pursuing this affair might be
dangerous. They remind her of
another girl from the neighborhood
who brought her black boyfriend
around ? who didn't exactly get a
warm welcome. (Incidentally, this
film is dedicated to Yusef Hawkins,
a black youth who was beaten
to death by Italian-Americans in
the Bensonhurst section of
Brooklyn.)

Angie returns home to the
ather who once beat her for being
"nigger lover" and Flipper tries
omewhat unsuccessfully to have
te life he once had with his wife
nd child.
Interwoven into the film is the
roblem of drug abuse, especially
1 the black community. Lee's deletions
of Hipper* s older brother
? a rrarif ? tverin with hn
lor. Throughout thefilm, he
bows up begging either his
rother or mother for money:
Momma I found a great job; I just
ped $100 for the application."
pe humor turns to horror as he I
^comes more violent in his delands,
causing his own father to
nd his miserable life.
The ending is unnerving and we
re not quite sure whether it is a
ightmare or a glimpse into the fuIre
? or both. Spike Lee makes
p look at reality through a magtfying
glass ? making some I
tings even larger than life.
