Line 41:
*In a scene from ''Boyz N the Hood'', Tre and Ricky get pulled over by two police officers, one being a black man who happens to dislike stereotypical black "gangsters." In a similar scene, Ashtray and Loc Dogg are pulled over while they are parked, and a black officer—played by [[Bernie Mac]]—is racist against blacks.
*In ''Boyz N the Hood'', Gooding's character Tre goes to his girlfriend's house and starts swinging his arms, punching wildly while crying, all out of nowhere. In ''Don't Be a Menace'', the character Ashtray goes to his girlfriend Dashiki's house and does the same, but hitting her children instead of air.
*While sitting in Old School's porch, Loc Dog goes on to say ''"either they don't know, don't show, or just don't care about being a menace to south central while they drink their juice in the hood. .."'' In a similar scene, [[Ice Cube]]'s character, Doughboy, said, ''"Either they don't know, don't show, or just don't care about what's going on in the hood. .."''
*In ''Boyz N the Hood'', the young boys go to see a dead body near the train tracks. In ''Don't Be a Menace'', a group of similar looking young boys(
*[[Keenan Ivory Wayans|Keenan Ivory Wayans']] cameos as a mailman is a reference to [[John Singleton]] giving himself a brief cameo as a mailman in ''Boyz N the Hood''.

*Dashiki, at one point, recites a poem to Ashtray that involves castrating him if he ever left her.
Line 57:
*Dashiki's appearance is similar to Janet Jackson's character's appearance.
*In one scene, the back of the mail truck has the words, "Janet waz here". Clearly a

Line 67:
*''"Dave the Crackhead"'', a beggar looking for change, attempts to offer Ashtray cheeseburgers and fellatio in exchange for money. In ''Menace II Society'', O Dog is confronted by a beggar who is also willing to trade cheeseburgers for money or drugs (who, in turn, may be inspired by a similar character from [[Dolemite]]).
*Later in ''Don't Be a Menance. ..'', the beggar re-appears, again with the sack of cheeseburgers and is now looking for directions to crenshaw (which is where the crew from ''Boyz N the Hood'' always hang out). He offers fellatio to Loc-Dog for the directions, and after a little thought, the scene then cuts to Loc Dog zipping up his pants.
*Slow motion "drug-making" sequence, in which Loc-Dog makes a cake, in [[Menace II Society]], Tyrin Turner's character Kane, prepares crack cocaine in a similar sequence.
Line 94:
*When Loc Dog's grandmother is dancing in church, she is wearing high heels at first, then she wears flat shoes in a different shot.
*When Loc Dog drives away in his USPS Mail Truck, there is graffiti on it that says, "Janet Wuz Here". In the next shot the graffiti is no longer there.
*When Ashtray gets
