They wanted Prince for that role, IIRC.

And most of the cast does a very good job (except for Tiny Lister, as usual).


Yeah Deebo didn't fit in this one

I love almost everything about that movie...except his part.


100% agree. He ruins the movie.

Usually steals the show in any film, or used to.

Loved it until I found out the role was quite literally written for Prince and now all I can see when I watch it is Chris Tucker doing a Prince impression

I can see why they chose Jovovich as the lead for the futuristic Resident Evil movies after watching this movie.

Not for me. Too effeminate to be anything other than an irritant.

Give me the underdog dummies.

The real MVP.



These guys tried their best.

By this logic you've seen every movie in the Twilight series.

He didn't steal the show per say, but I understand how someone would think that.

Before this movie he was in House Party 3, Friday, Dead Presidents, and I don't recall if Money Talks came out before Fifth Element. We knew he was funny but this character for him was sort of unexpected. It was a step up from what we've seen of him.

He's easily the worst part of the movie. It would be so much better without him.

Good, fun oldie. People need to understand what this film is before seeing it, or understand while watching. Not your typical action film. It has all sorts of elements to it. Slapstick, action, funny, cheesy, violent, just overall weird. Fun movie.

Yeah, Chris Tucker is quite memorable in that movie. Wonder how much of his scenes were improved... he's all over the place and funny.
