Booty Call 1997

Rushon Askins, a sensitive and aspiring individual, has been nurturing a relationship with Nikki for seven weeks, their bond deepening with mutual fondness. However, there exists a palpable tension as both are unsure if they are ready to take their love to the next level. In an effort to break this stalemate, Rushon invites Nikki to dinner only to discover she envisions a double date involving her free-spirited friend Lysterine “Lysti” and Rushon’s self-declared “bad boy” companion, Bunz.

As the evening progresses, Lysti and Bunz find themselves unexpectedly hitting it off, their boldness and carefree attitudes sparking an undeniable chemistry. Meanwhile, Nikki grapples with her desires as she yearns for more intimacy with Rushon, surprising him with her eagerness. But the excitement is tempered by Nikki’s insistence on safe sex, reflective of the 1990s’ heightened awareness surrounding condom use.

The plot thickens when Nikki’s mischievous dog, Killer—an adorable yet trouble-prone terrier—consumes Rushon’s last condom. This predicament sends Rushon, accompanied by Killer, on a late-night expedition with Bunz as they traverse the urban landscape in search of a replacement. Their journey takes them through an eclectic mix of locales, including a Chinese herbal medicine shop, a Punjabi convenience store, and even an unexpected detour where they must evade a would-be robber.

During their escapade, Rushon and Bunz encounter a host of quirky individuals, including a savvy store owner, a morally ambiguous judge (played by Bernie Mac), and the incorrigible Killer, who takes off and leads them on a wild chase. Amidst the pandemonium, Rushon and Bunz find themselves wrapped up in chaotic misadventures that put their camaraderie, judgment, and dedication to safe practices to the test.

The evening spirals further out of control when Bunz, after carelessly acquiring a gun from a nervous cab driver, accidentally injures Rushon in the leg. This misfortune thrusts them into a hospital scenario where they confront an indifferent admissions nurse who refuses entry to Rushon due to insurance issues. However, with ingenuity and quick wit, Bunz masquerades as a doctor, using some stolen credentials to secure treatment for his injured friend.

As “Doctor” Bunz tries to manage Rushon’s injury, chaos strikes in the form of a sudden childbirth emergency. In the ensuing confusion, Rushon slips through the system and is erroneously prepped for a life-altering procedure, as a clever fellow patient takes advantage of the mix-up. Just when it appears that Rushon’s fate is sealed, the legitimate doctor finally arrives on the scene, triggering a frantic search by hospital staff and security.

Desperate for answers, Bunz, Lysterine, and Nikki embark on a frantic quest to locate Rushon, only to find him unconscious and prepped for surgery. Just in the nick of time, Nikki’s intervention highlights Rushon’s lack of insurance, successfully halting the operation. With the crisis averted, the couples regroup, ready to enjoy the intimate moments they’ve been yearning for, all while emphasizing safety at home.
