No one has made me laugh like Chris Tucker in the Rush Hour Movies. Rush Hour 2, in particular, is such a comfort film for me that I watch it multiple times every year.

[@AbsoluteMotivation]

His Netflix stand-up is also something I was at least twice a year hahahaha he is simply too good.

[@ElevatedScvrecrow]

Me too I can recite both one and two word for word how many times I’ve watched it. My girlfriend hates the movie cause I put it on so much 💀

Rush Hour 2 is just golden! I love everything about it!

[@branberrycakes]

Rush Hour 2 is easily one of my Top 5 movies of all time. It's 10000% a comfort film for me. I had it nonstop playing in the background and it made me laugh no matter how many times I watched it.

[@KrazzeeKane]

@dr.Revenue you are joking right? Rush Hour is wonderful but isn't even close to being the original Buddy Cop movie lol. The genre was mainly created by Beverly Hills Cop in the 80's, and became a firmly established franchise in the early 90's due to the Lethal Weapon movies. Rush Hour was just taking on a proven formula, and did so in a unique and fun way--but it sure isn't the original buddy cop movie that started them all lol

Fifth Element was way ahead of its time - incredible acting, writing and production with a great cast.

[@blkspiderstryker]

I personally feel that even with the amazing visual effects and highly fascinating sci-fi epics we get today- nothing will be able to touch the great nostalgia, visual splendor and great script writing, production that is The Fifth Element. Two other great science fiction films, in my opinion are Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets and also Avatar. Avatar is a bit overrated, but the first one (having been released in 2009) I thought was also a bit ahead of its time. Shortly after, we got Tron Legacy as well. That was super awesome to see in theaters!

lmao 5th element classic

[@YouTubeHandleEtc.]

Chris has hit that age where he's mellowed out a bit and is doing some really interesting character stuff. I love it

[@smilesBUTT]

Omg, I can’t believe I didn’t see this sooner… One of my favorite actors that I miss on screen 😢 I love this!

[@YAMCHAFAN]

Chris is truely a legend. He’s never had a bad role.

[@butterbean2257]

The role he played in his trips to little st. James on the Lolita express I’d consider “bad”

[@YAMCHAFAN]

@@butterbean2257 oh my lol, was he even on the guest list?

[@butterbean2257]

@@YAMCHAFAN yes he was lol. Tbf to you I 100% thought it was a different chris tucker for like a year

[@ajnode]

@@butterbean2257 countless people went there, it hosted parties for celebs ... any evidence he did something nefarious ?

[@butterbean2257]

@@ajnode you’re probably right he was just like Dershowitz he probably kept his undies on the whole time. I will say, I’d bet nobody in this comment section later found out the island they went to parties at actually was used to traffic children. But maybe I’m just being silly. I mean it can’t be that abnormal to have prolific human trafficker friends right?

Rush Hour is my childhood movie, my father always told me that i'll never regret it. now im 24 years old and still watching it with my wife. i can't wait to tell my children for the next decade . what a masterpiece and legends

[@mverasc]

This interview was so much fun to watch. Is like a trip down memory lane. I love how kind, honest and down to earth Chris is.

[@olbapoli4074]

Rush hour is an iconic film ....it confirmed Chris and Jackie as superstars. Great chemistry and such a funny film

[@hopet7090]

We had a great comeback season of 90s actors with Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan. I hope Chris has a come back. Let’s bring back some of our 90s men and women

[@pummeis1380]

going to epsten islan was a comeback fr

[@Locadel2003]

Next year Cameron Diaz she is coming back with a new movie with Jamie Foxx and also Christopher Walken in Dune part 2

[@sladechain573]

Just wait for the Air Jordan movie. He nailed his role in that. The energy he brings

[@MarioMario-vn3ps]

I hope not, Chris Tucker likes to take flights with Bill Clinton and Kevin Spacey to Jeffery Epstein's Pedo Island

[@toshoshi1551]

Rush Hour 4 is confirmed

[@ArthurZakaryan23]

Most actor comedians can only dream of having a career like Chris has had. His movies never get old for me no matter how many times I've seen it and can recite every one of his lines. His movies are more watchable today and most of today's movies, absolutely love them.

[@mvnetta]

I introduced my kids to Rush Hour years ago, and now they are 14 and 17 and they always watch it. Whenever they can't find anything to watch, they'll pick a Rush Hour movie, in order, backwards, etc. They love you Chris!

[@jalissamoses115]

I’m so glad he made this video, some movies I didn’t know he played in. Salute Chris Tucker for his many years of acting

[@brooklynjade]

Nice dude. Good dude. Mentioned all of his co stars, gave people credit/compliments. Class act.

[@TheUnholyPosole]

... almost like a creep trying to come off respectful

[@losr98]

@@TheUnholyPosole Thats such a weird thing to project on someone for absolutely no reason

[@warrens.5933]

I love the unique energy Chris has always brought to his roles. He is such a funny and genuine guy too. I wish his interview wasn't edited to cut out so much of his commentary. I want to hear the whole thing!!!

[@JoannePerez]

I wish this interview was longer!

[@RebekahWalker27]

Chris Tucker is one of the most funniest and genuine actors period. Loved him in every rush hour movie too 😂

[@StinkyBlack1]

Seems so humble and cool

[@shellzhimself]

Every single role that Chris Tucker played has been so much fun to watch and so memorable. I love all of his roles. You can watch him in every movie that he's been in and laugh every single time as if it were brand new. Legendary comedic actor.

[@jakemarcus9999]

I've seen 5th element so many times and it's still and always will be gold. His character in the movie is absolutely spot on crazy funny.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Such a hughly underrated performer, Ruby Rhod is a true Iconic performance of complete genius. Tucker spends at least half of the time here telling us how great the people he's worked with are, rather then just taking the credit, shows how rare a person he is, on and off screen.

[@spaceistheplace8376]

i just smiling through the whole video , remembering all those characters by Chris, what an actor .

[@brandonkim76]

soooooo underrated. I love his standups too. He never makes anyone angry.

[@TootieTootie]

Chris Tucker is a living legend himself. Money Talks is one of my favorite movies, I know all his parts! 😩😂 I love to see him getting his flowers! 🥰🤩💐

[@TheOnimbus]

Chris Tucker was the perfect casting for the Rush Hour movies, his mannerisms and chemistry with Jackie Chan worked so well that I can't really imagine anyone else as Carter.

[@grump9001]

Great interview!! Hadn't seen him in a while. Love you Chris

[@lisalim453]

LOVE CHRIS TUCKER!!! ❤😊😊😊😊😊 Thanks for this interview, GQ🎉
