Chris Tucker in his prime

[Dr. Narcisse]

He just did Money Talks earlier that year and then ended the year with this



It was here when I said...

dude is going to be as big as Eddie Murphy.

Then he did the Rush Hour film.....while I thought it was good....was afraid it was going to get him off the "edgy path" and it did..

We havent seen THIS Chris Tucker since Jackie Brown. I get growing up, being mature and not wanting to do edgy roles. I get it.

But here and in Dead Presidents I thought Chris showed himself well being "serious, but funny at the same time"

We all know about the classic Friday performance.

But sometimes when I see this scene.... its like the classic Chris Tucker was gone for good...and he was..


SN: Too bad we never got a prequel of Ordell and Beaumont

I was just watching Jackie Brown a few nights ago. still always thought they woulda kept him around longer than they did in the movie.

definitely one of Tarantino's better films.

He was wayyyyyyyyyyyy better than Kevin Hart is right now. Im not the type to do the comparision stuff but jeez black comedy fell the hell off. Chris used to have me ROLLIN. I saw Ride A long with the face.

Chris Tucker was a younger, more energetic version of Redd Fox...an edgy comic with political overtones and a sharp wit...dude really could've revolutionized black r-rated comedy, but those bullshyt rush hour checks conquered him...the rest is history and all we have are his stand ups and movies from 1993-1997

On the low I thought his character on Silver Linings Playbook was hilarious. Really subtle, but great. Like the mom was really charmed by him.
