    • Goofs
      When Blade is taking Duncan's glasses off and giving him the gold tooth to put in his mouth, the camera switches to Blade taking the tooth out then back to Duncan saying "that's not hygienic" with the gold tooth already in his mouth.
    • Quotes

      [Blade is trying to teach Duncan how to talk slang]

      Duncan: Did you hear me? I said that was stupid.

      Blade: Did you hear me? I said, "Thanks."

      Duncan: Are you deaf?

      Blade: [misunderstood as "def"] Man, I'm the defest brotha on this block!

      Duncan: YOU'RE deaf?

      Blade: [still misunderstood as "def"] That's right.

      Duncan: [turns head] I think Blade Brown is the biggest asshole on the planet.

      [Blade smacks Duncan upside the head]

      Duncan: Hey! You're not deaf!

    A vastly underrated movie
    I've never understood why this film is regarded so poorly, even to the point of being dissed on "Martin." While it doesn't measure up to the first two "House Party" films, it's certainly better than most people give it credit for.

    Both Reid and Martin deliver excellent performances, but Martin really shines as Blade Brown, the hood with a well-hidden heart of gold. Lamont Johnson, Thomas Mikal Ford, Karyn Parsons, and Alysia Rogers provide solid supporting roles.

    What impressed me most about this film was the obvious chemistry between the cast members. While I expected it between Reid and Martin, I was pleasantly surprised to see it between Johnson and Ford, Reid and Rogers, and Martin and Parsons.

    I'd say that this is a must-see for Kid 'N' Play fans. For non Kid 'N' Play fans, it can be a fun diversion with some wonderfully funny scenes.
