    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The jail scene with Faizon Love listening to Chris Tucker explain his arrest, was not originally scripted. Love visited Tucker on set during the filming of that scene. The director expressed his uncertainty for the written scene, which had another man chasing Tucker around the cell. The director proposed that Love and Tucker do the scene. The two came up with dialog and movements, moments before filming. It took 89 takes to finalize that scene due to uncontrolled laughter from the actors and the director.
    • Goofs
      In the helicopter scene, the two French actors have all the conversation in French, except for the words "fifteen million". It would make no sense for them to say only that part in English, but that's the only way Franklin can understand that part of the conversation.
    • Quotes

      Franklin Hatchett: I will slap you man! I will slap the hell outta you. You don't know who you messin' with. I don't even know when I'm gonna slap somebody. My reflexes just slap people. I'm like damn why did I do that? I don't know when I be slapping people. I don't know when I'm gonna slap somebody. You keep messing with me. I'm dangerous! I'm scared of myself. They call me snap and pop cuz I will snap and I will pop yo ass in the mouth! Don't mess with me man. You better watch your back. Watch your goddamn back! Even in the shower! Even on picnics! You better watch your goddamn back. Make a right.

    Tons of Fun
    This is a movie that makes people feel entertained. Back when this movie was made, it was when Chris Tucker was at his absolute best, before he became the serious artist he's tried to become today. This I want to be taken seriously disease seems to plague lots of comedians when they start to achieve some sort of box office success. Eddie Murphy. Is one that immediately comes to mind. So sit back and enjoy the days when a comedian at his prime does what he does best; entertain you and make you laugh.
