- A football game showing Ricky’s ability is wanted, perhaps using the conflict there; budget may explain its absence.
- Fishburn’s seven-year age gap and young Ricky’s athleticism are noted; actual Tecmo Bowl play is wanted but could undermine the gun/video-game tension.
- Ricky stops to urinate, separates, walks while scratching a ticket and runs straight despite athleticism; the alley choice and shotgun range are criticized.
- Trying to outrun Trey is offered as a rationale, but groceries and scratch cards undermine urgency; a response calls this victim blaming.
- Ice Cube’s song in Doughboy’s world creates a celebrity paradox, compared with the corrected Ocean’s12 and other musician-actor films.
- Trey should not lie to his father about sex; Furious is believed to see through it.
