“Starring Ethan Hawke as a rookie cop [named Jake] who is taken under the wing of Denzel Washington's Alonzo, a crooked detective with a mean streak, Training Day is one of the most groundbreaking, truly modern action flicks of the last thirty years,” Comic Book Resourceswrites.
View this post on Instagram“I don’t think it was written for a Black guy,” Washington tells The Hollywood Reporter, explaining that the film was originally scripted as a Lethal Weapon-type movie. “It was more like a plaid-shirt [wearing] guy with beer bottles in the back. Antoine was the one that brought gangster to it.”
For the role of Jake, a long list of pretty-boy contenders reportedly included Eminem, Tobey Maguire, Ryan Phillippe, Paul Walker, and Freddie Prinze Jr. In the end it was Washington who signed on first, and insisted on Fuqua helming. It was also Washington who received the most acclaim, winning an Oscar for his performance.
The white-knuckle storyline is definitely action-packed and wrought with tension, but another element of surprise comes from the film’s music-star cameos. Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Macy Gray all make memorable appearances, adding to the world Fuqua built and cementing themselves serious character actors.
