One of the classic black films! Lol wasn't expecting this at all; glad you all enjoy the movie😂😎👍🏽 RIP: John Witherspoon, Bernie Mac, Tiny Lister Jr 🙏🏽
The set of this movie took place in the same neighborhood my Dad sand his side of the family grew up in, South Central, LA. The neighborhood in this movie is on 126th Street. In fact, 126th was heavily inside Crip street gang territory. The cast and crew were pre-warned ahead of time to not wear any red clothing on set.
This movie Friday will go down in history as the greatest and the funniest movie of all time. Ice Cube, Chris Tucker, the late Bernie Mac, Tiny Lister, John Witherspoon who are still being missed today. At the same Time Chris Tucker who is a comedy legend was twice as funny ever since he was on Def Comedy Jam at the age of 20 and to this day Chris Tucker is still the best comedian to ever do it.
Definitely a classic. 'I'm Gonna Get You Sucka' is really funny but it's a spoof of the blaxploitation films of the 70's. Chris Rock made the incredibly underrated 'CB4' in the 90's, and 'Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood' is a pretty hilarious spoof of 90's LA gang films.
R.I.P. Tiny “Zeus” Lister (Deebo) Anthony Johnson (Ezal), Bernie Mac (Pastor), LaWanda Page (Jehova’s Witness), Reynaldo Ray (Red’s father), Yvette Wilson (Rita), and John Witherspoon (Craig’s father).
This movie is a masterpiece, I'd even say the Friday movies are actually secretly genius in their own right, I grew up on these films since I was a really little kid.
Now they know where the phrase "by Falecia" comes from. Friday is cult classic like Sparkle. Cooley High. Cornbread Earl and Me and others. You can't be black if you haven't seen this. Ya'll should check out The Fifth Element. It was Chris Tucker's break out film. He did well in Dead Presidents too. I'm also glad they got the messages in the film as well. The slice of life and family dynamic comment was very good.
rip to the phenomenal actors who passed away since this film was released Michael Clarke Duncan, LaWanda Page, Bernie Mac, Reynaldo Rey, Tommy Lister, Yvette Wilson Justin Pierce, John Witherspoon, Jennifer Echols, Anthony AJ Johnson
Funny how director F. Gary Gray went from Friday with Ice Cube to making Straight Outta Compton as well. You should also check out his follow-up film to this, Set It Off, a very underrated crime thriller starring Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, Vivica A. Fox, and Kimberley Elise...
I first saw this movie when I was a 12 and everything seems so much bigger when you're a kid. Rewatching it as an adult and realizing that the central conflict revolved around just $200 is hilarious
I was good friends with Chris Tucker for a couple years before this came out, and he had NO IDEA that it would be what it became. He'd already shot "Dead Presidents," and he was SO excited to have done a movie with the guys who did "Menace II Society," (which was coming out in October and all of his career thoughts were about that), so when we went to the premiere for "Friday" in April, there weren't a whole lot of expectations. Needless to say, I was presently surprised. It's almost impossibly cute to think about it now, but the next day, (the day "Friday" came out), Chris and I went to the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood (where the premiere had been the night before.) It was the middle of the day, but he still made me jump out of his Land Cruiser (what he was driving at the time) and ask the box office person how the sales were going. A pair of young people happened to be buying tickets for "Friday" - and I directed them to Chris - who was illegally parked while waiting for me. They were overjoyed to meet him, and he was beyond happy that they were buying tickets. His life completely changed after that movie came out (no argument about that), but nobody who was around at the time could have predicted it 🙂.
When I was younger $200 seemed like a lot of money but now everytime I rewatch this movie I can only think how Craig’s family was going to let him be killed for such a small amount of money.
Great reaction! I didn't expect anyone to be reacting to Black movies I grew up on. This movie is a timeless classic. When though the tech is obviously dated, it's funny no matter what. A couple corrections: this movie isn't an indie and it was created years after Ice Cube started acting (Boyz In The Hood). The guy that played Red (DJ Pooh) co-wrote the movie. DJ Pooh produced a lot of songs for Ice Cube including It Was A Good Day. And Spike Lee got big in the 80s, but he kept it going through the 90s.
Well, I would say that you could still consider it "indie" in some way due to the fact that while a major studio project, it was still a film with a very small budget (almost half of Boyz n the Hood's 6.5mill budget) and featuring a first time filmmaker, first time screenwriters, and two leads with only 8 film credits to their names combined (7, not counting Chris Tucker's first ever, uncredited appearance in The Meteor Man). As for Spike Lee, I would say that while yeah he hit big in the 80s, it was really right at the end of the decade with Do the Right Thing that made him hit mainstream gold (though not to discredit She's Gotta Have It and School Daze, which are great also), which kept his momentum going through the 90s, which one could interpret that as being his big-break into the 90s, even just on VHS sales alone of Do the Right Thing back then...
What made this one the best, was the fact that this was a comedy/drama. The sequels were just comedies. I think they messed up by not have dj pooh co-write the others
The girl that plays Craig's girlfriend is Paula J. Parker I absolutely love her y'all should watch her in "Sprung" and "Phonebooth" if you haven't already...love her in everything she does
One of my all time favorite movies. It brings me back to my teen age days just hanging out, smoking some wack ass bud, and watching this. Please watch all 3 in the trilogy. May I also suggest you guys watch Dont Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood.
more fun facts, the actor who played craig's dad played Shawn and Marlon Waynes pops on the waynes bros. show the actress who played Craig's mom was a main character on the show as was Paula j parker who played Craig's girlfriend, she also was in hustle and flow
Great reaction, The Director: F. Gary Gray was playing the worker/owner in the store. U should do more reactions of his movies. He's directed some of the best 🎥.
Didn't expect yall to watch these but am happy you all are. If you are going to dive into the filmography of one O'Sheay Jackson Sr., might I suggest doing the Barbershop trilogy as well. Also, Craig got paid literally the day before, how and why did he blow his whole check that quickly?!
I was a 5th grader when this movie dropped, couldn't see it back then because of my age, but ended up seeing it years later when it was broadcast on TV. The TV version was funny because it was edited and dubbed so it can go on TV lol. So when smoky says "you got knock the F** out!" he would say "you got knock the fudge out!!" on the TV version lol
This reaction had me laughing all the way through 😂. You guys HAVE TO react to Undercover Brother next. Absolutely hilarious stuff! Let keep this going.
Love this man, back in the day I used to watch it over and over when it came out on vhs and I would watch it over and over in the mid 90’s because I related to it growing up in the ghetto, so it was bullied and had to fight back to survive
also the actor who played deebo tim tiny lister played the prisoner in the dark knight who threw the detonator out of the ferry thaat had all of gothom's worse criminals . his line was " give it to and i'll dom what you should've did an hour ago" then he tossed the detonator out of the window
A fucking classic! I have seen this movie probably close to 100 times. I had it on vhs and used to watch it all the time. It became like background music to just have on in the house and get a laugh as you're walking through the living room
"You win some you lose some but you live to fight another day"
John Witherspoon🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great words from a great man

Michael Clarke Duncan too. He was an uncredited craps player in the flashback where Debo knocked Red "the fuck out!" This was his feature debut
15:54 "What's wrong with Felisha?"
15:55 "Oh."
LOL
Every time I forget about this movie, I bursts it’s way into my life again. I love it
This was unexpected, but I’m glad it happened 😂 it really do be like that in the “hood” 😂😭
Glad to see this movie still killing it 30 years later
27
Never in my life would have I expected this and now you guys have made my whole month, thank you:)
10:31 Mrs. Parker was Miss Black California in 1971 and the first African-American model on The Price Is Right.
This movie is a masterpiece, I'd even say the Friday movies are actually secretly genius in their own right, I grew up on these films since I was a really little kid.
This is a time capsule movie, truly will show what life was like back in the 90s
“I lost” gets me everytime 🤣 iykyk

The direction the writing the performance the actors they got...this movie is a timely 1995 comedic masterpiece....very spike lee like
RIP John Witherspoon, Bernie Mac, Tommy Lister Jr and Anthony Johnson
I always love when they drop movies that aren’t expected
I first saw this movie when I was a 12 and everything seems so much bigger when you're a kid. Rewatching it as an adult and realizing that the central conflict revolved around just $200 is hilarious
$200 in 1995 is like $400 today 🤣😂🤣
This was a nice surprise reaction. I haven’t seen this movie in years but it’s just as funny as I remember. 🤣

We were in the aisles laughing at this movie when it released. None of us were expecting it to be so good.
This movie is culture! A god damn masterpiece.
I was good friends with Chris Tucker for a couple years before this came out, and he had NO IDEA that it would be what it became. He'd already shot "Dead Presidents," and he was SO excited to have done a movie with the guys who did "Menace II Society," (which was coming out in October and all of his career thoughts were about that), so when we went to the premiere for "Friday" in April, there weren't a whole lot of expectations.

His life completely changed after that movie came out (no argument about that), but nobody who was around at the time could have predicted it 🙂.
I loved this video from start to finish, thanks for this, Friday is a big part of my childhood and my culture so again love this 😂💯
When I was younger $200 seemed like a lot of money but now everytime I rewatch this movie I can only think how Craig’s family was going to let him be killed for such a small amount of money.
Me personally smokey already had 100 he only needed 100 more.
They didn't realize how bad it could get. No one would think someone would set up a drive by over $200
You want some of this too old man, huh? NO! Boy get your ass up and get in the car" my favorite part in the movie lol 🤣
I never thought you would react to this classic,great reaction 🔥🔥
Fr this was a super random reaction but it was still 🔥
A great reaction to one of the all-time classic comedies. It makes you both laugh and think at the same time.
Wow! I had so many laughs watching Friday (in the theater!) way back then. Thanks for reacting to this😁👍
Great reaction! I didn't expect anyone to be reacting to Black movies I grew up on. This movie is a timeless classic. When though the tech is obviously dated, it's funny no matter what.

I agree. That's why the first Friday is the best one to me. It was a well balanced story and actually had serious moral lessons.
"What's wrong with felicia, OH" had me dead😭😭😭
I hope yall do the other 2 movies. It was cool seeing Rana react to this lol.
Her saying "what's wrong with Felicia?...Oh" was hilarious 🤣
IDK if anyone else noticed but the movie THE MACK was mentioned twice in this movie.
RIP to John Witherspoon and Tommy Lister, living legends in my book
i love all the fridays, but i will always love the very first one, RIP to deebo and craigs dad in this.
*WHY ISNT CHRIS HERE FOR THIS😭* I can’t believe Rana never watched Friday btw I’m glad she did now though
R.i.p To John Witherspoon
This movie is very realistic. Most of the characters in this movie, I also had in my neighborhood growing up.
I loved that y’all did this should definitely do the 2nd and 3rd there just as good
The girl that plays Craig's girlfriend is Paula J. Parker I absolutely love her y'all should watch her in "Sprung" and "Phonebooth" if you haven't already...love her in everything she does
This movie is definitely in my top 5 favorite movies of all time.
I really loved that y’all reacted to one of my all time favorite movies. Such a classic I know the whole movie word for word
NOT RANA WITH A “grab a sandwich” JOKE ! Now that has layers
Top 5 movie no doubt, rewatchability is 10, quotables is 10. Glad you guys put this up
One of my all time favorite movies. It brings me back to my teen age days just hanging out, smoking some wack ass bud, and watching this. Please watch all 3 in the trilogy. May I also suggest you guys watch Dont Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood.
Please react to Friday After Next
One of my favorite movies of all time. I used to watch it every Friday.
35:52 I laughed so hard when, ezal stealing deebo’s converse 👟 as he’s unconscious.

This is one of the greatest films of all time
Rip all the legends from this movie that passed. We love u
Im so happy yall reacted to this. One of my favourite Chris trucker and ice Cube movies
more fun facts, the actor who played craig's dad played Shawn and Marlon Waynes pops on the waynes bros. show the actress who played Craig's mom was a main character on the show as was Paula j parker who played Craig's girlfriend, she also was in hustle and flow
Great reaction, The Director: F. Gary Gray was playing the worker/owner in the store. U should do more reactions of his movies. He's directed some of the best 🎥.
set it off, Italian job- he had a little appearance in Coming to america in the black awareness scene lol
"I'm Gonna Get You Sucka". Fish bowl on the bottom of the shoes
Can't believe this movie came out in 95'. I literally saw it in theaters with my big sister..getting old. Glad you guys liked it.
Didn't expect yall to watch these but am happy you all are. If you are going to dive into the filmography of one O'Sheay Jackson Sr., might I suggest doing the Barbershop trilogy as well.
Also, Craig got paid literally the day before, how and why did he blow his whole check that quickly?!
"Use water it won't hurt" 🤣 mum was wrong for that lmao
I was a 5th grader when this movie dropped, couldn't see it back then because of my age, but ended up seeing it years later when it was broadcast on TV.
