* AFIS100Years100MovieQuotes: Nomination: "DAMN!" Collectively exclaimed by Craig and Smokey after Red takes his sunglasses off to reveal his swollen black eye.

* HarpoDoesSomethingFunny: Creator/ChrisTucker improvised many of his lines in the movie.



* TechnologyMarchesOn: This really helps set the first movie as taking place in the 90's. Not only are there wall-hung phones (with cords!) but Craig's mother states that she "knows it's Joi calling, cause I 'star-sixty-nined' her and she hung up again." Ask any Gen Z-er what a *69 is and you will probably get an answer involving pornography. For those not alive in the 90's, pressing *69 on a phone caused your phone to redial whoever just called.
* ThrowItIn: The drive-by scene in which Smokey attempts to catch the gun tossed at him by Craig and fumbles it was actually a blooper on Chris Tucker's part that was kept in because it added to [[BlackComedy the comedy]].
