3 Strikes is a 2000 American comedy film written and directed by DJ Pooh, and starring Brian Hooks, N'Bushe Wright, Faizon Love and David Alan Grier.

The title refers to California's habitual offender law, whereby three convictions confer an automatic life sentence.

However, since Douglas failed to check in with his probation officer after leaving prison, he is sentenced to 30 days in jail for violating his parole.

The website's consensus reads: "3 Strikes lacks direction and its low-brow humor isn't even that funny.

"[2] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 11 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "overwhelming dislike".

[3] Joe Leydon of Variety called it "exuberantly rude and crude, but generally more frantic than genuinely funny".
