Is Kevin Hart the biggest threat to Chris Tucker's career?

This probably doesn't deserve a whole thread, but I'll go for it anyway:

With Ride Along, Grudge Match, and About Last Night, seems that Kevin Hart has taken over as the go-to wise-crackin' African-American guy....

Looks like Chris Tucker's niche just got invaded.

Chris Tucker stopped being relevant after he took almost 6 years off from working after Rush Hour 2. And then another 5 years off after Rush Hour 3. Probably one of the laziest actors.

Chris Tucker hasn't had a career in a long time.

You are right. This doesn't deserve a thread.

Rhetorical question, right?

We all know Eddie Murphy is the grand-daddy of 'em all.

Eddie Murphy begat Chris Rock who begat Chris Tucker who begat Kevin Hart.

Yeah, unless Hart manages to corner the market on "Doing nothing," I would assume Tucker's current career is safe.

He was once one of Quentin Tarantino's repertory company, but he inexplicably made only one film for QT before disappearing off the face of the earth.

Chris Tucker is still in Deebo's pigeon coop sweating his ass off.

Ridiculous thread, but it's funny how most people magically forgot his role in SLP despite the public sucking that movie's dick when it came out.

I guess you didn't see SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK.

I like Kevin Hart, but let's make no mistake here - Chris Tucker is funnier.

Might as well ask if Kevin Hart is a threat to Redd Foxx's career.

Wow, so Silver Linings Playbook resurrected his career?

Rush Hour 3 and Silver Linings were 5 years apart. Surprised at how some of you just love jockeying the hell out of that mediocre flick.

Yeah but he didn't act in anything for 5 years until then.

He's made 3 movies in the last 16 years. I guess he's saved all his Rush Hour income, but he's still not relevant anymore even though he had a small part in SLP.

According to IMDB, he's not even working right now and has nothing lined up except the rumored Rush Hour 4. At the rate he's going, his next project will be in 2017 or 2018 when he's almost 50.

Re: Is Kevin Hart the biggest threat to Chris Tucker's career?

True, but I'm glad he at least got to do that. I think he got a higher paycheck than Jackie Chan for Rush Hour 3 so that was a bit nuts.
