"You crazy Jesus, crazy"

Man, I love that Mr. Rogers getup he's wearing in the mug shot. And the jail makes 'em all wear that? Wacky.

It looks like he's wearing a shirt and tie in the pic, and the while the orange thing looks like a sweater, I think it's more of an apron or poncho or something. Definitely weird.

From the website...

shouldn't have opted out of those friday sequels

Heh, you beat me to the punch :D . "You crazy Jesus.... you CRAAaaaazzyyy!" "You know, for being the son of god, you sure are a son of a bi... AAAhhh"

Great news! :up: Chris Tucker is awesome! My all time favorite comedy to this day is Friday, but it is still very nice to see him in other roles. He is just so damn funny!

I can't believe Chris Tucker get paid $20 million per picture. That's insane. I find him rather annoying than funny.

I think it's insane too, but the guy's gotta be doing something right!

What the hell happened to the "What the hell happened to Chris Tucker" thread?

:rolleyes:

Your gods have no excuse to bein this thread.

as for chris tucker, Latest news I heard was they pretty much had to go to Ga. with a 40 million dollar check to get him into Rush Hour 3.

Is that for 2 more pictures or just Rush Hour 3? That's one crazy ass sum of money if it's only one movie, just about the biggest direct payout I can think of.

I've taken some steps to try and dig out the theological debate. If anyone is looking for that part of the thread, it's now a new thread in the Other forum...

Anyone taking this thread back off the discussion relating directly to the topic can expect administrative action.

40 million?! :wtf: That's ridiculous. How could they even consider that? They better give Jackie that much plus an extra 10 million just outta respect.

From the sound of it, the $40M should cover Rush Hour 3 and Money Talks 2 (or Rush Hour 4). Jackie is getting $20M which should fund his next HK feature ;)

Tucker Ready to "Rush"

Chris Tucker is suddenly in a rush to make movies again.

The Rush Hour star, who hasn't made a film since 2001's Rush Hour 2, is close to signing a two-picture, $40 million dollar deal with New Line Cinema that will finally put the wheels in motion for Rush Hour 3, according to Variety.

The deal sounds similar to one reported in a March issue of the New Yorker. In a story about Hollywood deal-making, the magazine reported that Tucker will get a $20 million-plus payday for Rush Hour 3, plus 20 percent of the receipts.

In any case, the long-in-the-works third edition of Rush Hour is aiming to begin production later this year in Los Angeles and Paris. Paris?!? I guess I have to pop in my Rush Hour 2 to see where they were heading for vacation this time.

The first Rush Hour, a 1998 action-comedy mismatching Tucker and Jackie Chan as L.A. and Hong Kong detectives forced to team up on a case, was budgeted at $35 million and grossed more than $140 million domestically. The 2001 sequel brought everyone back at a cost of $90 million but did even better business, taking in more than $226 million at the North-American box office. Variety reports Tucker took home $2 million for Rush Hour and a cool $20 million for Rush Hour 2.

Chan has already signed on for Rush Hour 3, as has original Rush Hour director Brett Ratner. Chan stands to earn about $20 million and Ratner, $7.5 million, per Variety.

While Tucker has kept a low profile in recent years, he wound up making the wrong kind of headlines last month. He was busted in Georgia after leading police on a high-speed chase.

Police said the 33-year-old comic actor had gunned his 2005 Bentley up to 120 during the 12-mile pursuit.

Tucker, who told cops he was on his way to church, was rung up on counts of reckless driving and fleeing to elude--both charges carry a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a $1,000 fine (it's doubtful Tucker will spend any time behind bars for the incident). The Atlanta native spent some quality time in jail before posting bail.

Tucker's name has also come up in Michael Jackson's ongoing child-molestation trial. Tucker, a longtime Jackson friend, reportedly had dealings with the singer's young accuser. Jackson's defense has listed Tucker as a potential witness, but it's not known if or when he will take the stand.

I always thought NY was the logical place for them to have Rush Hour 3 happen in. 1 was in LA, Carter's hood, 2 was in Hong Kong, Lee's hood and at the end of it, Lee followed the girl going to NY. So it figures that since the first two was "familiar" ground for either of them, 3 should be in a place where neither of them know anything about.

I have no idea what he's been up to since he won American Idol last year.

SANTA MARIA, California (CNN) -- Michael Jackson's defense rested Wednesday morning after comedian Chris Tucker testified that he warned the pop star in February 2003 to be careful of the family of his teenage accuser and the boy's family.

In the final testimony of the defense case, Tucker singled out the accuser's mother, who, he testified had "mental problems.

"I told him to watch out for (the mother) because I felt suspicious," Tucker said. "You need to watch out. Be careful."

Rush Hour 3 should take place in outerspace!

Just saw Chris Tucker on Celebrity Justice today. He was called as a witness for the Michael Jackson's trial on Michael's behalf.

In a related note, Chris Klein's mugshot is the best looking mugshot I have seen since Frank Sinatra's. What did he do, fashionably tousle his hair before he got the picture taken?

I'm a huge fan of Chris Tucker but I think he made a big mistake by hosting the Academy Awards.

Ratner is getting $7.5 million for directing Rush Hour 3? Damn! Imagine what a good director could get then?

:confused: where did this guy come from?

Chris Tucker's last two movies:

Rush Hour (1998)
Rush Hour 2 (2001)

And his next movie will be: Rush Hour 3 (2006)

Gotta respect that work ethic... :clap:

And I can't be the only one who thinks the Rush Hour movies are as obvious and generic as is the phrase "Rush Hour."

I thought Tucker was absolutely hilarious in Friday. Aside from his performance in that one movie, I just can't stand the guy.
