Barbershop 2: Back in Business

Corrected entry: In the scene where the group breaks into Nappy Cutz, Jimmy makes a comment that they have a copy of the Wall Street Journal. Since that is a daily publication, the chances of it being in a shop that is not open and only occupied by construction workers is not very likely.

Correction: Why not? Construction workers can't read the Wall Street Journal on their breaks? Not very likely doesn't mean impossible, and it's a pretty large assumption to make that one of the construction workers didn't bring it.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Ricky is waiting for Terri, the license plate on his red GMC pick-up truck is BS468G. In Illinois (where the movie is based and the truck is licensed) all truck plates begin with numbers and end with letters. All passenger cars are the opposite, beginning with letters and ending with numbers. There are NO license plates issued with a mixture of letters and numbers as shown.

Correction: As with phone numbers, addresses, and military uniforms, movie makers do not generally use license plates which have the possiblilty of being a real registered number. It's done for privacy and legal reasons, and as such is not a mistake.

Factual error: When they are reminiscing about the riots of 1968, when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was killed, they show people looting in front of the barber shop. However, in 1968 Calvin's dad would never have owned a barber shop on Chicago's Southeast side where the movie was filmed, because black people were not allowed in that area near the beach.

Customer Muhammed: Terri... what you need is a real man. A Muslim man.

Question: Why didn't Calvin give Kenard a chance to cut someone's hair?

Answer: Calvin did give him a chance to cut hair. That is why Kenard had the chair in the first place. It was the people of the neighborhood who didn't want him to cut their hair, as he is new, and they have no clue if he will be good or not (just as he proved with Alderman Brown). This is the same as Isaac in the first movie. Once he proved himself by giving Jimmy a good haircut, people began choosing him.
