History Film / Barbershop

In 2016, the third film in the series, ''Barbershop: The Next Cut'', was released. Directed by Malcolm D. Lee and distributed by MGM and Creator/NewLineCinema, this film brought back Ice Cube, Cedric the Entertainer, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Anthony Andersen and added Music/NickiMinaj, Common, Regina Hall, and J.B. Smoove among other new cast members.

During the fall of 2005, production company State Street and Ice Cube debuted ''Barbershop: The Series'' on the Creator/{{Showtime}} cable network, with Omar Gooding taking over [[Music/IceCube Cube]]'s role of Calvin. The character "Dinka" is renamed "Yinka" on Barbershop: The Series, as "Dinka" is not a typical Nigerian name (although a certain tribe in the Nigerian middle belt bears the name "Dimka"). In addition, Isaac's last name is changed from "Rosenberg" to "Brice", and the character Ricky has been replaced by a more hardened ex-con, Romadal.

* SmugSnake: Lester Williams comes off as a very greasy, slippery character.

* BerserkButton: "Who Frank my goddamn apple juice?!"

* GetOut: Terri says this to his cheating ex-boyfriend, while hitting him on the head.

* HonorBeforeReason: J.D. calls Billy out for chasing a guy who owes him $5 when they have an ATM machine loaded with tons of money. Billy tells him it was a principle and J.D. would have done the same thing.

Calvin (Music/IceCube) has plans to launch a record label… which is yet another of the many plans he's had. Right now, though, he owns a pretty-much insolvent barbershop in [[UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}} south Chicago]]. His father and grandfather [[FamilyBusiness owned it before him]], and he has a retinue of (mostly) black barbers working for him. Calvin has other plans, though, and sells the shop to [[SmugSnake Lester Williams]]. However, Lester wants to take the shop in a direction that Calvin doesn't approve of, and Lester demands double what Calvin paid him to buy it back. Add to this that two guys steal an [=ATM=] from the convenience store near the shop, hoping to get rich from the money inside. Later on in the day, the police storm the shop and arrest one of the barbers. Said barber is an ex-con with two strikes on his record, and the robbers (one of them is the barber's cousin) used his truck in the crime. Even worse, they're willing to let him take the rap for the burglary. Can Calvin save his friend and the shop?

** Calvin tries to break up a fight over [[SeriousBusiness who drank Terri's apple juice]], and Checkers Fred chimes in saying that Calvin's dad wouldn't let something like this happen in the shop. Calvin asks, "Do I look like my father?" It seems the entire shop thinks so.

* {{Leitmof}}: Whenever J.D. and Billy are shown in camera with the ATM, a low violin loop is heard playing in the background.

A 2002 American comedy film directed by Tim Story and released by [[Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer MGM]]. Starring Music/IceCube, Cedric the Entertainer, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Anthony Anderson, ''Barbershop'' revolves around social life in a barbershop on the South Side of Chicago. The movie also proved to be a star-making vehicle for acting newcomers Eve and Michael Ealy, and was followed by two sequels, a spinoff, and a TV adaptation.

In 2004, MGM released the sequel, ''Barbershop 2: Back in Business''. All of the original cast returned, but director Tim Story did not. This film was directed by Kevin Rodney Sullivan. In the same year, Billie Woodruff directed a spin-off film entitled ''Beauty Shop'', with QueenLatifah as the lead (Latifah's character made her debut in ''Barbershop 2''). The film was pushed back from a late summer 2004 release, and finally reached theaters in February 2005.

* InspectorJavert: Detective Williams automatically assumes Ricky stole the ATM, due to his criminal history and already had two strikes. He came to the barbershop to get a trim (which Ricky deliberately gave him a bad cut), only to tell Ricky if he finds out he's the culprit he'll personally have him arrested. When officers found the truck used to steal the ATM and belonged to Ricky, he immediately barged into the barbershop to place him under arrest.
