Production
Thug Life draws partial influence from The Warriors, a 1979 film. It had a budget of less than $100,000. It was produced by York Productions. The film's director, Greg Carter, felt the producers issued a cut he felt was less polished than he had preferred, saying, "They just wanted something they could put in a box and sell." Theaters in several cities showed Thug Life at the end of 2000. Filming took place in Third Ward, Houston.
