Shad Moss, Brandon T. Jackson, Charlie Murphy and Mike Epps previously starred together in Roll Bounce (2005).
Keith David, Ice Cube and Loretta Devine previously worked together in First sunday - Non c'è più religione (2008).
Early in the film when Kevin and Benny are staring at Nikki Swayze, Benny does similar face motions involving his lips that mirror what Smokey did from Ci vediamo venerdì (1995), when him and Craig stare at Debbie while she is jogging. Ice Cube (Mr. Washington) starred as Craig and co-created the 'Friday' franchise. Like Chris Tucker, Brandon T. Jackson improvised many of his lines in this film.
Shad Moss and Loretta Devine would later work together again in Madea's Big Happy Family (2011) as mother and son.
