Chris Tucker MADE Friday. Without Smokey, it wouldn’t have been the same.

Incredible performance by Chris but it’s not even his best. What he did with rush hour is iconic

Chris Tucker is good in every movie. Friday & Rush Hour wouldn’t be the same without him.

it's crazy that SOME ppl bashed Ice Cube for not paying Chris and John Witherspoon a lot of money to make the movie, bc movies have BUDGETS, and this was not some big production with superstar actors that had a $30 million budget. And NOBODY knew it was gonna blow up and become the cultural phenomenon it has become.
