It's scary to think that this is a pretty accurate depiction of Rio de Janeiro's slums (favelas). After Knockout Ned sells out to a gang you wonder if anyone in such poverty would want to work for a decent living.
As for the cinematics, I thought the moment at the dance party where "Kung Fu Fighting" drops in up until the conclusion of the party was incredibly tense. You know something bad is imminent, but it doesn't detract from its effect at all.
