Mistakes

Right after Trey, Doughboy, Ricky, and Lil Chris have the football taken from them, they are walking away from the older guys. The guy who yells at his friend to give the kids the ball back, finally gets the ball and throws it back to Ricky. You will notice that when he throws the ball, he throws it as if Ricky was standing right in front of him (meaning with little or no effort), but as they cut to the scene where Ricky catches the ball, he is much, much further away, and the ball should never have reached him, yet it reaches him on a fly.

Trivia

Writer/director John Singleton has a cameo in this film. He is the mailman with the uniform, cap, and sunglasses that delivers the letters to Doughboy's mother's house when Doughboy and Ricky are having a fight out on the front lawn. John gives the letters to the boys' mother. See more...

Updated recently In the end, Monster guns down the punks who killed Ricky. Doughboy approaches Ferris to finish him off. He fires a few shots from his .45 (I think it's three; at any rate it's less than the weapon's full capacity of seven), at which point the gun is empty (the slide stays back). Why wouldn't he keep his gun fully loaded? [I don't see how not keeping the gun fully loaded is a mistake. Take your pick as to why he didn't keep it fully loaded, but it doesn't make a mistake.]

Entry At the onset of the movie, during the fishing scene, Furious is talking to Tre about how he was "17 years older than him" and went to Vietnam. We know the beginning of the movie is set in 1984 and that Tre is about 10 years old, making Furious about 27. American involvment in Vietnam ended at the beginning of 1973, where Furious then only would have been about 16 - too young to have been in the armed services in Vietnam. [The minimum age for military service is 17, so all we need is one year and this fits, so unless we know there exact ages this can not be a mistake.]

Entry In the scene where Ricky is gunned down, Ricky is shot in the back and you see wounds appear on the front of his torso. This isn't possible. Ricky is shot with a shotgun from at least 20 yards away. Shotgun pellets do not rip completely through a body at that distance. [If buckshot can rip through a fully grown deer, it can go through a fully grown man.]
Entry In the scene where Ice Cube tangles with the guy that bumps Cuba Gooding Jr; when he walks by, he opens his jacket, revealing a silver 1911 pistol. After asking "Do we have a problem?" he yanks the pistol out and pulls the slide back to chamber a round, but the slide stays locked back, indicating the gun was empty. [It is stated that the guy who ice cube tangles with bumps Cuba Gooding Jr. When he really bumps Ricky who is played by Morris Chestnut.]
