Storyline

Debo has escaped from prison and is looking to get revenge on Craig. So Craig's dad takes him to Rancho Cucamonga to hide out with his Uncle Elroy and cousin Day-Day, who moved to the suburbs after winning the lottery. But once he gets there, Craig and Day-Day have a set of suburban misadventures that make his South Central experiences look tame.

Did You Know?
| 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. See more » |
| 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. See more » |
