Trivia:

The clothes that Ice Cube wears in the first scene of this movie are exactly the same as the ones that his character wore in the final scene of _Boyz N The Hood (1991)_ .

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Smokey goes back to his house the second time to get to the bathroom, he grabs the doorknob to check if it's locked and you hear the sound of a doorknob turning, but it doesn't match his hand movement.

Quotes:

Deebo: What bike?
Red: Beach Cruiser, the one I let you use couple of weeks ago... the one I been asking about.
Deebo: Oh, *that* bike. Didn't know you wanted it back, homie. It's right here. Follow me, homes.
Red: Yeah, it's just like it's both of ours... we just keep it down at my house.

I Heard It Through the Grapevine

My favorite comedy of the 90's!!!!!

Believe me, If you could relate to SMOKEY and CRAIG, then you would see why this flick is so funny! While Dumb & Dumber and Austin Powers:The Spy Who Shagged Me, had me rollin' at times, it didn't do enough to throw me at that front porch where our two main characters sit and do nothing but get high and jive!

Yeah I can understand those critics who say "what's the point"? But in this flick, You don't need a point! Just plain and simple laughs! This is already a camp classic in case y'all don"t know! Please give it a look.
