    Did you know

    Edit
    • 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: [Viewing singer Vic Damone on television with Diahann Carroll] How the hell did an Italian get a fine-ass black woman like that? Shit, he can't sing. Only reason she marry him is 'cause he rich. 'Takin' all our sisters.
