It was directed by Steve Carr and stars Ice Cube, Mike Epps, John Witherspoon, Tamala Jones, and Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr.

It tells the story of Craig Jones as he goes to live with his uncle, who just won the lottery, and cousin in Rancho Cucamonga after the neighborhood bully Deebo escapes from prison where Craig contends with three criminal brothers known as the Joker Brothers.

After finding out Deebo escaped prison with his brother Tyrone to get revenge on Craig, Willie decides it would be safer for Craig to move to Rancho Cucamonga to live with his uncle Elroy and cousin Day-Day, who just won the lottery, until Deebo is sent back to prison.

Craig remembers seeing their neighbors, a trio of gang member brothers known as "the Jokers", who live with their sister Karla carrying a hydraulic pump.

Suspecting that it may be hiding cash, Craig convinces Day-Day and Roach to help him get inside the Jokers' house and steal their pump.

After discovering the money from the pump is missing, The Jokers take Day-Day and Roach hostage and tie them up with duct tape.

As Craig and Joker fight, Day-Day and Roach, while bound and gagged, attempt to escape but fail until Elroy comes and unties them.

Day-Day and Roach run to Craig’s aid but Joker gains the upper hand when he picks up his AK-47.

After witnessing D’Wana and Baby D throw a brick at Day-Day’s BMW window, Craig returns home to South Central with Willie.

DJ Pooh, who previously portrayed "Red" in the first film, appears in an uncredited voice role as himself in the opening title sequence.

This was covered up in Craig's opening narration which stated that Smokey checked in rehab one month ago.

The single disc DVD contains a theatrical trailer, music videos, a "making of..." featurette, behind the scenes footage, and an alternate ending as well as cast and crew information.
