Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 4 mins) Early in the film, Shawn Wayans's character says that his father is only a few years older than him. Lahmard J. Tate, who plays Ashtray's father, is less than two years older than Wayans. Cuba Gooding Jr. is only 7 years younger than Laurence Fishburne, who played his character's father in Đường Đời (1991).
- Goofs(at around 9 mins) When Ashtray is getting a haircut from his dad, in one frame he's wearing a barber cape in the next one he's not wearing one, then right before the scene is over he's wearing it again.
- Crazy creditsRobert Schimmel is listed in the opening credits, yet he does not appear anywhere in the film, and is missing from the end credits.
- Alternate versionsThe Unrated version contains the following alternate scenes: Loc Dog's chat with the thug chick at the barbecue is extended; After Ashtray is released from jail Loc Dog, Preach and Crazy Legs play a game of Po'Nopoly; Loc Dog's dream is shown at the Old School scene; During Toothpick's drive by, instead of Ashtray running away he tries to save Dashiki, making more sense why he is suddenly lying on the ground; When grandma is said to have the "juice", she chops the guy's head off and puts it in her purse, referring to 'Dead Presidents'.

Featured review
Nearly all movies are about other movies.
Nearly all life acts are from movies; nearly all stereotypes are from acts.
The Wayons merely close the loop: movies where the acts are stereotypes of stereotypes. They really know what they are doing, disguising it as social commentary. But that you get enough of in the first five minutes. Check out how many jokes are about acting, about every third one.
And then check out what they did next, with "Scary Movies," which takes the circle one more loop.
I admit that I'm a fan. They seem to be the only ones who can do what Zucker used to: serve up what are generally called spoofs.
I think it is because they start knowing that the target isn't bits of movies, but the bits we use in inventing the stories of who we are.
Ted's Evaluation -- 3 of 3: Worth watching.
