A Small Plot Hole In Next Friday That Gets Overlooked

[Nostalgic]

The scene where Craig, his dad Willie and his Uncle Elroy are headed over to The Joker Brother's house
to save Day-Day and Roach.

Well all see and hear Craig mention his Uncle Elroy and a nice gun
(A 357 magnum) ElRoy mentions the gun only has two bullets

A little later on in the film we see ElRoy take out one of the Joker brothers by tackling
him, Sure the strategy was a success but ultimately in the end he ends up injuring his back


My question is whatever happened to Elroy's gun? Sure the gun only had two bullets
IMO I rather bust a cap in one of the Joker Brothers instead of trying to imitate Bill Goldberg

movie was full of plot holes

when they had the taco shop cashier tell Craig's father that Craig was in trouble like he knew who the fukk his father was,

I just took that scene as the cashier randomly tossing the question out there.

''Somebody said Craig's in trouble or something, I don't know'' - Cashier

Who the hell would know to call a random taco stand though?

We just assume he, or someone else, picked it up. It's no big deal.

That’s not a plot hole. It’s bad writing but not a plot hole. A plot hole would be if he said he can’t wait to use the gun and then suddenly doesn’t or doesn’t want to anymore.

Him mentioning the gun and never using it is just bad writing but it’s also consistent with his character. Uncle Elroy is a loudmouth who talks a lot of shyt but is quick to back down.

Debo and his lil bro called the taco shop to get pops to bring them to craig. When you hear your kid is in trouble you dont think about all of the details. You just go. Plus taco Jim threw his change and the dogs running around outside the truck distracted him probably

At least that's how I looked at it. I could be wrong tho

Plot holes in Next Friday

Like two escaped convicts on orange jump suits roaming around South Central wasn't enough of one

Or the three brother "running drugs up from Tijuana" in the hydralic shock thing, despite it being filled with only money

It's an entirely absurdist movie lol

I dont think you know what a plot hole is and this aint one of them. You're just looking for a detail that isn't needed and it doesnt effect the plot or scene in any way. Bad writing... yea you can say so but Next Friday is hilarious IMO I'm not looking for every detail of every object to be written out. Just sit back and take it for what it is.

A guy that has an urgent message
For a nikka named Mr.Willie Jones.

Willie's truck was parked outside
And the number to the taco stand
Was on the side of the building it wasn't random.

Yeah we need a class on the film room lol. Bad writing isn’t a plot hole

Next Friday subverts and reverses Chekov's Gun in stunning, thrilling and transcendent ways

In the first movie Willy mentions Craigs uncle had a gun and learned a lesson

"Your uncle had a gun to, had to learn the hardway..22 years old"
