3 Strikes is a 2000 American screwball comedy film, written and directed by DJ Pooh. The film stars Brian Hooks as Rob Douglas, a man just released from a one-year sentence in jail, who already has two strikes to his name. Since he is living under California's Three strikes law, Rob decides to go straight and leave the street life alone. However, things go horribly wrong for him as he gets involved in an altercation with the police upon the day of his release. The plot centers around Rob trying to evade the police until he can prove his innocence, for fear that he will be put away for good... with a third strike. David Alan Grier, Faizon Love, and N'Bushe Wright co-star. The film was a critical and commercial failure and currently holds a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. The film begins with a voice-over narration from the character Rob Douglas introducing himself, and telling a few facts about his life. He talks about his family, his dreams, and how he plans to get his life together, when he gets out of prison, of course.
