History Film / HouseParty

* BeYourself: Uncle Vester (Bernie Mac) tells Kid to do this in a hilarious way.

* PunchPunchPunchUhOh: When Stab starts to throttle Kid, the DJ breaks a record over Stab's head. Stab's response is to just give the guy [[DeathGlare a look at could melt steel]].

* Determinator: Kid's father goes through a lot to track down his son. But his resolve never falters.

* KarmaHoudini: Kid is right at the verge of escaping his father's wrath... but just as Kid is sneaking into his own bed at dawn.... his dad is waiting. [[CorporalPunishment With a belt.]]

The third movie (1994) see Kid getting married to his girlfriend Veda (who was introduced in this movie rather then his past girlfriend Sydney (Tisha Campbell)). Play meanwhile has gone into the music business as a manager to a female rap trio, Sex as a Weapon (''TLC''). Of course though things get complicated before everything winds down to a bachelor party thrown for Kid. This film was notable for debuting Chris Tucker and featuring the rap group ''Immature'' (later known as ''[=IMx=]'') who play as Kid's nephews. It was the last movie to revolve around Kid n Play.

The first movie, released in 1990, was centered around a house party hosted by Play as his folks were out of town. Kid is invited of course among a slew of other friends. However the day of the party, he gets in trouble with the local bullies (R&B group ''Full Force'') and causes a fight at his school. His father (comedian Robin Harris) is informed of this and bars Kid from going to the party. Kid manages to sneak out anyway and hilarity ensues both at the party and afterward proving to be a long night for everyone invovled.

And speaking of ''[=IMx=]'', seven years after part 3 came and went in the theaters. A fourth movie was made in 2001 that was a direct to video feature, staring said rap group. Subtitled "Down To The Last Minute", the film focuses on Jon Jon (Marques Houston, playing a completely different character from part 3) house sitting for his rich and very strict Uncle Charles's mansion, being told right from the get go not to have anyone over. Of course Jon Jon quickly disobeys him once he out of sight and throws a bash. Inevitably Charles' vacation goes south and he set to come home. Forcing Jon Jon and his friends Mark and T (Jerome Jones and Kelton "LDB" Kessee, Houston's fellow bandmates) to frantically fix up the house or face Charles' wraith.

After that film, the series supposedly fell by the wayside and was thought finished. But much to many a surprise, a fifth film, "Tonight's The Night", was made in 2013. This film features new characters and follows the protagonist Chris (Tequan Richmond) finishing high school but will end up leaving his best friend and crush. So he plans a party for her which of course leads to complications and hijinks. Like the last film, it was a direct to video fare and even features a cameo by Kid n Play.

!!House Party'' provides the following tropes:

* EvenEvilHasStandards: In the first movie Stab (the bully that hassles kid at the start) after getting rejected to Play's party, decides to burn the place down in retribution. His two brothers Pee-Wee and Zilla find the idea a little extreme. Beating people one thing but burning them is line crossing.

* HeyItsThatGuy: A lot of well know African American actors here. To name a few: [[{{Martin}} Martin Lawrence and Tisha Campbell]], A.J. Johnson, Robin Harris, George Clinton, Queen Latifah, John Witherspoon, Immature, and TLC among others.

* TheNineties: The first three movies really show it. Considering this was made at the rise of rap music, its not surprising.
