Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film when Ice Cube is getting in his dad's dog pound van ready to go and live with his cousins, he remembers Smokey (Chris Tucker in the first Friday movie) and utters the words "I'll miss it around here but I'm going to especially miss my boy Smokey who went into rehab a month ago." If this film is set next Friday from the original as the title suggests how did Smokey go away a month ago?

Next Friday (2000)
Correction: Craig mentions a 4 month period where Deebo was locked up.
Correction: Craig narrated "Deebo ended up going to jail for about 4 years." In the behind the scenes featurette, Ice Cube mentioned that Deebo broke out 4 years after the brutal fight that happened in the original film. So, the film took place 4 years after Friday. Friday was shot in 1994, then released in 1995. Next Friday was shot in 1999 then released in 2000. That makes it a 5 year gap in release. However, the events of this sequel still took place 4 years after the event of the original film. Since Next Friday took place 4 years after the events of the original Friday, it is possible that Friday might have taken place in 1995, and Next Friday might have taken place in 1999 (due to some of the pop culture references in the film).
Correction: The title is only for sequel marketing purposes, rather than calling it "Friday 2." It's like "Star Trek: The Next Generation" takes place 100 years later, not 25 years, which is the length of a typical generation.
