Trivia
Chris Tucker did not reprise his role of Smokey from the original film because he'd become a born again Christian after filming Money Talks (1997) and chose to do the Rush Hour series instead. His character is referenced throughout the film to explain his absence.

Goofs
When Day-Day is showing Craig his BMW, it is on the left side of the drive-way. But when Day-Day's ex-girlfriend spray's him with pepper spray, the car is on the right side of the drive-way.

Quotes
Joker: Count my money or party with bitches. Hundred and fitties or big ass titties. Count the green or get in between those titties.

Crazy credits
As the main titles form out of smoke, Ice Cube and DJ Pooh comment on them.

Alternate versions
The DVD edition uses stills from a cut scene from the film (of Stanley and an unnamed woman, meeting at Rancho Cucamonga with a relator, who was credited for appearing in the movie, despite not being in the final cut) during its menus. Yet, this scene is not included on the disc in any form other than those still pictures.

Connections

Funny, but

Next Friday has many laughs to go around ,but I felt something was missing in this film. I know what is missing of course, Chris Tucker. The young man who made his breakthrough performance as a pot-head who hung out with Craig Jones (Ice Cube) on a memorable day (and film) between Thursday and Saturday. Now though, the sequel revolves around Craig's family instead of his neighborhood as the first Friday did. I think wrier/producer/star Cube decided to do that to add a little kick to the Friday saga, and it does. But without Tucker it's a kick from a baby. Still, the movie isn't the worst ever, it has many laughs from it's supporting characters (John Witherspoon, Mike Epps, Don Curry) who play Craig's odd family. Cool, hip, and not quite fine. A-
