Chris Tucker Says No More Rush Hour Movies. He’s Doing New Things
Last night Chris Tucker held a Rush Hour 3 premiere in his hometown Atlanta, GA. Rush Hour 3 is the kind of movie that needs no explanation, it’s karate kicks and Chris Tucker jokes ready made for primetime TV. Yuck!
“What the heck are you doing man?.. Shut the stuff up!.. Fart off!” Whenever I see Chris Tucker these days I can’t help but think how he completely handcuffed his career for the folks at his neighborhood church.
After Friday it was their frowns that weighed heavy in his decision to watch his mouth.
That’s fine, but how many years was he performing in clubs, made appearances on Def Jam, before he decided he better listen to them? It’s his career and he’s not hurting for money, Rush Hour 3 earned him a $25 million paycheck, but unless he pulls a Will Smith and starts doing drama and action movies, he’ll forever be known as Smokey.
If Chris Tucker has it his way, he’s gonna get to that next level of movie stardom.
First step: shake the Rush Hour series.
“For me as a career move, I don�t know if I want to do another one. The fans will have to really, really, really say that ‘3’ was so good that they want to see another one. Because I really want to do something different.”
So he’s working on a script where he’ll play the next black president.
Hold up, didn’t Chris Rock do that already? ..
“He did a version about becoming president, I�m going to be the president.
Recently Chris mentioned he was open to working with Ice Cube again. He repeated that in the interview; would that reunion be called Saturday? <
< 
It would be nothing short of Jesus hitting the bricks again for that to happen; maybe I shouldn't bring biblical figures into this considering Chris is the subject. But here he his working on a I'm the black president comedy.. which is shaky anyway considering Obama is taking the laughs out of that joke.. meanwhile he's refusing to do a movie that sounds five times better.
Think a Reservoir Dogs-like heist comedy, directed by Brett Ratner.
Starring Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, and Chris Tucker.
Chris Tucker wants no parts of that.
“I’m not going to do it because for me I’m trying to build a body of work and that won’t do anything for me. This movie [Rush Hour 3] is good because Jackie is Asian and I�m black. Jackie is known around the world and right away from ‘Rush Hour’ I was known around the world. It was just a perfect blend.
With everything I do, I try to take it to another level and do something different. But me being punched up with a bunch of other comedians ain�t gonna do nothing for me.”
Wow. I would hate to be his agent.

KaTosha- Sat, Aug 11, 2007 - 12:28 pmHello, Mr. Tucker! I have to start off by mentioning how incredibly handsome you are and the fact that you are hilarious adds to your beauty! I am just mesmerized by your beauty! You are extremely talented and my favorite movie of yours is Friday! I love this movie and no matter how many times I see it I laugh at the same jokes over and over again! It was just something about you and Ice Cube and the other supporting actors that made that movie one of the all time classic black movies that exist! It just made a person want to be friends with Smokey and Craig! It is just a great feel good movie! You were also funny in Money Talks and in the first Rush Hour movie. But, you really showed that you are able to do more than just comedy in Dead Presidents. I really wish that you would do serious roles such as the role in Dead Presidents. I would even love to see you do a love scene or two. I am so impressed and proud of all the work that you have been doing over in Afica, you truly seem to be a good black man and we need more of you in the world. I wish you all the success that your handsome self can handle. May God bless you and your family and I hope that one day you do allow that right woman to share your life! Peace, Mr. Tucker!
nyla- Mon, Aug 13, 2007 - 1:48 pmwhy must a mans character be judged if he is an actor doing his job? That kills me.
anyway, when chris says he wants to do something different does he mean different as in a serious role such as “man on fire” where no jokes are involved? Or does he just mean a role that will make him more popular such as supporting bigger stars? He is good at the rush hour/money talks roles. I love him in all those. I loved Friday as well.
In my eyes he has progressed with his acting roles. He should hook up with Jamie Foxx though. He seems to have gotten good advice from somewhere because he came up from the silly and wacky jaime kingston to playing Ray Charles in Ray and didn’t stop there.
I love to see my black men rise. Keep it up ya’ll

Sivu Nobo- Mon, Aug 20, 2007 - 2:39 amI don’t think it would do a damn thing if we judged, dissed or scorned Chris about the phat check Rush Hour keeps signing. So it comes as no surprise to hear he finally feels guilt for boring us with these redundant peak traffic updates. Way-to-go Chris. You’ve made the right move china. I hope it works out for you.
