Repost @wordup90s by @media.repost: 25 years ago today, New Line Cinema dropped “Friday”. The movie debuted at #1 in the box office, grossed over $29 million (About $47 million today) & is a cult classic film. The film was directed by F. Gary Gray, Produced by Patricia Charbonet, Written by Ice Cube & DJ Pooh, & Stars Ice Cube, Chris Tucker, John Witherspoon, Anna Maria Horsford, Nia Long, Tom Lister Jr., Regina King, Bernie Mac, Paula Jai Parker, Faizon Love, Anthony Johnson, Angela Means, Terri J. Vaughn, Kathleen Bradley, Lawanda Page, Reynaldo Rey, Tony Cox, WC, Yvette Wilson, & unknown Michael Clarke Duncan & Meagan Good. “Friday” tells the story of the lives of Craig Jones & Smokey on a typical “Friday” in South Central, L.A. With a variety of crazy & random situations happening on this Friday, the main issue is for both Craig & Smokey to come up with $200 for Smokey’s drug lord by the name of “Big Worm” by 10:00pm or they would get, no pun intended “smoked”. The film is a CULT CLASSIC & has been heavily referenced to this day, with many social media memes referencing different lines & characters from the film: the use of the classic line “Bye Felicia”, “You ain’t gotTUH LIE” & as well as many of the characters memorable outfits used for Halloween, that has made the movie such a generational film, that even to this day, stands the test of time. Funny, Comedic, & even launched the careers of many of the star-studded cast, “Friday” goes down as one of the most popular films of all time. AND YOU KNOW THIS! 😩🙌🏼😂. HAPPY 25th ANNIVERSARY FRIDAY! 🔥✔️🎶🔌🙌🏼😩❤️🎈🎊🎂🎈🎶😂🎁 COMMENT YOUR FAVORITE SCENES! #friday #90s #90sfilms #wordup90s #forthe90syall (at Darlington, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_d-gZ3Hh_R/?igshid=r00s9lsr6lyy
