    Rush Hour was my childhood comfort movie. No matter how many times i've seen it, it always brings the laugh. Thank you Chris and Jackie for making our childhood better.

      @dr.Revenue you are joking right? Rush Hour is wonderful but isn't even close to being the original Buddy Cop movie lol. The genre was mainly created by Beverly Hills Cop in the 80's, and became a firmly established franchise in the early 90's due to the Lethal Weapon movies. Rush Hour was just taking on a proven formula, and did so in a unique and fun way--but it sure isn't the original buddy cop movie that started them all lol

    Fifth Element was way ahead of its time - incredible acting, writing and production with a great cast.

      I personally feel that even with the amazing visual effects and highly fascinating sci-fi epics we get today- nothing will be able to touch the great nostalgia, visual splendor and great script writing, production that is The Fifth Element. Two other great science fiction films, in my opinion are Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets and also Avatar. Avatar is a bit overrated, but the first one (having been released in 2009) I thought was also a bit ahead of its time. Shortly after, we got Tron Legacy as well. That was super awesome to see in theaters!

We told him he didn't have to take pictures but the man insisted and shook everyone's hands, despite the amount of people that were at the event.

    When I had my twins in 2022 there was a marathon of all the rush hour movies, and it is the reason I named my son Karter. I kept hearing “Karter, Karter” and didn’t know I was having twins until delivery, when the nurse asked me what I wanted to name my son I said “KARTER” they both passed away after being born. But it’s hard to watch these movies now, but it also brings me peace. I was having terrible contractions but didn’t pause to laugh at Chris Tucker. So it’s a memory that will always be with me and make me smile and cry.

    Chris Tucker is one of the most underrated actors of our generation. He amplifies every movie that he’s in. What a legend.

    Dead Presidents is such an underrated masterpiece. Says more about contemporary America than most want to admit.

    I love the unique energy Chris has always brought to his roles. He is such a funny and genuine guy too. I wish his interview wasn't edited to cut out so much of his commentary. I want to hear the whole thing!!!

    Man I miss Chris Tucker so much!! I can't say I've seen a good comedy in a while. I wish so badly he'd come back & star in a new comedy film cuz I know he'd make it incredible!

    I had the VHS tapes for Fifth Element and Rush Hour and I've watched them so much during my high school years that I'm surprised they still play at all.
    Had a rough childhood and those movies always put me back in a better place, there were periods where I'd watch them every week. He was a perfect fit for those roles.

    Nice to see one of the most liked actors onscreen is equally as charismatic, humble and genuine off screen. Would like to see Chris in more stuff today.

    5th Element has always been one of my favorite movies & Ruby Rod is one of my favorite characters. Both deserved way more recognition, like Jackie Brown, one of my favorite Tarantino movies!
    Tucker was a great surprise in SLP. Would love to see him in more roles like that.
