Directed by: F. Gary Gray

Starring: Ice Cube, Nia Long, Chris Tucker

Genres: Comedy, Drama

Continuity mistake: When Deebo is riding his bike to Craig's house the first time, one shot shows Deebo nearly on the driveway. Just then Smokey and Craig remove all their valuables. If this were true, Deebo should have seen these. But then in another shot, Deebo's bike is shown just coming onto the driveway. In that amount of time, Deebo should have been further up the driveway.

Continuity mistake: When Craig (Ice Cube) reaches up to the cabinet to get out a container to make Kool-Aid in, he closes it because he sees Big Worm's head talking to him (he's high), then opens it again, then closes it without taking out the Kool-Aid container. Then the scene switches to Smokey (Chris Tucker), then back to Craig, who is now holding the Kool-Aid container. It looks like he got it out of nowhere.

Suggested correction: He's not holding the Kool-Aid pitcher, he's holding the sugar bowl.

This mistake is valid. Craig is holding the pitcher after closing the door without grabbing it, not a sugar bowl. Even if he's holding a sugar bowl, he's never seen grabbing anything after closing the door.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Craig and Deebo are fighting, Craig hits Deebo with a board and then throws it down. A second later the shot changes and Craig has the board in his hand again and drops it.

Suggested correction: Actually he doesn't throw the board. When he hits Deebo the board breaks in half and the top half goes flying. The bottom half is still in Craig's hand, which he drops in the next shot.

The mistake is valid. The board does not break and after Craig drops it, he wraps his arms around Deebo and you see he's not holding anything.
