Awesome / Friday

The movies:

Friday

• Deebo sending Red flying with a single punch in a flashback scene.
  Deebo: THAT'S MY BIKE, PUNK!
• Willie/Mr. Jones' speech to Craig about manhood and self-defense after catching him with a loaded weapon.
  Willie: You win some. You lose some. But you live. You live to fight another day! You think you a man with that gun in your hand, dont'cha?
  Craig: I'm a man without it.
• Craig and Smokey getting back at the kid who is knocking over the trash cans in their neighborhood.
• The final fight between Craig and Deebo.
  • Deebo doesn't even flinch when Craig pulls a gun on him.
  Deebo: Whatcha gonna do with that, besides make me mad?
  • Bonus points for the last scene where Craig uses a well-placed brick to KO him once and for all.
  Craig: (to Deebo) Now who's the punk?
  Smokey: (to Deebo) You got knocked the fuck out, man!
  • Red getting both his bike and chain back from Deebo after Craig knocks out the latter. Red even manages to knock Deebo out when he wakes back up as revenge.
• Craig finally breaking up with his controlling girlfriend after she calls him to harass him.
  Craig: It's over, bitch! (hangs up)
• In a real-life example that unfortunately doubles as a Tear Jerker, most of the cast members across all three films attended John Witherspoon’s (Mr. Jones) memorial upon his passing in 2019. Ice Cube (Craig) even gave a heartfelt eulogy, praising Witherspoon as well as calling out the executives at New Line Cinema who rejected scripts for a potential fourth movie.

Next Friday

• Craig pushing the irate African man trying to intimidate Day-Day at the record store into a CD rack, sending him running with his tail tucked between his legs.
• Craig managing to turn the tables after Pinky slips on a CD on the floor while threatening him.
• Chico, the Jokers' pet dog, saving the Joneses from Deebo after he knocks out Joker and takes his gun.

Friday After Next

• Craig and Day-Day getting their first arrest on a pair of shoplifters who try to rob Money Mike, and then stopping Money Mike when he tries to cut one of them.
• The Joneses ratting Moly out to the health department in revenge for firing Craig and Day-Day, and watching him get chased by a health department agent.
• Money Mike gaining the upper hand while defending himself from Damon's advances via a pair of pliers to Damon's groin. Not only that, but he manages to lead him out of the apartment all the way to his car with Damon in tow.
• Craig and Day-day FINALLY getting their hands on the Bad Santa and kicking his ass all over his own house.
