 In the scene where Rayford (Murphy, Eddie (qv)) is getting beat up  in a fight with Goldmouth, Rayford says to Goldmouth: "I know a  bitch named Della who hits harder than you." This is a reference to  _Harlem Nights (1989)_ (qv), in which Murphys character is beat up  in a fight with a madame played by Reese, Della (qv).
