I agree, but I still feel like he should've done it just because the fans wanted it at least. Come to some type of common ground and work it out. I still think it would be EPIC.
You really can't blame Chris he got cheated out of his money in the first film so he left which also turned out to be a good thing because he could have gotten typecast which is a career derailer. In my opinion he made the right decision plus the man has kids now and he has to set an example for them. We need more black people to do what he is doing to help us grow as a people. (Aside from the fake ass christian slave master religion) I completely agree with Chris decisions
It's funny how he didn't mind doing Rush Hour over and over and neither of those movies were funny at all. I get it's about the money. But out in Hollyweird where do your loyalty lie. He said that he already did Friday and turned around and did 2 sequels to Rush Hour. What do that sound like to any of you?
@@cannamink believe me money trumps God everytime. If his religious beliefs where so strong he would not have done Dead Presidents, Jackie Brown, 5th Element, Rush Hour etc. FOH
@@Jetanium yes he did he said it in his comedy show years back he was doin comedy so it could be true could not be true but he did say that ice cube paid him weed & cds
R.I.P. John Witherspoon. IF they ever did a final Friday, I hope that they respect Mr. Witherspoon's role and do it justice. I wouldn't know how they would pull that off.
He grew tired of the stereotype and lack of funds. No hard feelings between him and Cube. When you know your worth, in every dimension God will bless you.
@@cuzoronoi7190 exactly that's why he should've done all the Fridays cause he would be worth more now than what he is. And now that pops is gone to heaven 🙏🏼🙌🏾🙌🏾 look what we missed out on
Imagine Chris doing the other Friday’s and not being in Money Talks or Rush Hour??? My childhood would’ve been so different. I support his decision all the way👌🏼
Marsha Malone But you gotta remember movie sets have a time frame to when and where they are gonna be filming and I’m sure at that point it was either Chris would go back and forth between sets (which not a lot of ppl do) or the movie directors to wait until he is available which also isn’t done most of the time. And let’s not forget that there was a lot more money coming into his pocket with all the other movies he did unlike Friday.
Dead presidents was a classic that I’ve sadly never heard mentioned for the past 20 years until I read your comment. Dead presidents needs more exposure because it was great and yes, Chris tucker was awesome in it.
@@DB-ej3mw mos def man dead presidents is a great films it had it's problems but I think its one of the better movies of the 90s it's crazy that people don't talk about Chris tucker's performance in it

I feel that but don’t return now in the last installment of the series bc you’re 14million dollars in debt. If his beliefs didn’t align with that movie when he was getting 20million a movie don’t come back now. And believe me I want to see him in Friday again but if he’s preaching staying true to himself and God then don’t switch up now.
Yes is was a smart move for chris tucker to step away from FRIDAY plus as another person said and i also agree . FRIDAY NEVER MADE CHRIS TUCKER . IT WAS CHRIS TUCKER WHO MADE the FRIDAY MOVIE SO BIG . Im just agreeing
Yea he didnt get paid that much for the friday movies now rush hour paid him more more now if they make another friday movie they need to pay him more like the rush hour movies
@Dingle Barry Very true, in today's world though actors and people would be more likely too feel socially obligated too, or would fear the fanbase eating their ass for hubrisitic arrogance, or something similar. Imagine a world where chris tucker did next Friday because he didnt want fans too start pointing it out and bitching. Still, yeah it would have been cool of him too do so. Woulda bought brownie points if he'd come back in the third one, oh well though now that success has dissipated a bit maybe he will feel differently. The character was funny for sure👍
raymond reynolds that's nice. I'm not saying it was a bad movie what I'm saying is that's the only movie that Chris Tucker was in that if he wasnt in it it wouldn't have made a difference

@@ohboy6738 .. I agree with you, it was Outstanding compared to other commentaries. It was thorough from beginning to end, Possibly the Best I've seen thus far.
smart move for Chris. too many times people get type-casted into roles. He kept reaching for bigger and better roles. can't fault the man for that at all. Smart.
Yeah him saying that is BS. The only difference between his being in the Rush Hour movies and his being in Friday is the cash. Rush Hour was not a better movie it just paid better. When he said bigger and better he meant more money.Its fine to do that but don't confuse that with being a better movie. There are plenty of well bankrolled movies that were garbage and plenty of low budget movies that were tremendous. Ask Kevin Costner how Water world a high budget film ruined his career. Compare that to how the low budget Rocky did. Which movie do you think most people wold consider the better movie
He has really had a near-perfect career. All of his roles are iconic and scene-stealing. A great comedian and a really good thinking actor, he puts a great charisma into everything.
Yep, I don't blame him either. At the same time tho, he's only worth a little over 11 mill now, and when you take into consideration that he made 45 mill with just Rush Hour 2 and 3, not even counting whatever he made with Rush Hour 1, then that 11mill sounds like a long way in the wrong direction from where he should be at this point.... meanwhile Cube's worth 160 mill. Jus sayin....
He had every right to keep going... I truly enjoyed all the work Chris put out over the years. He can't miss in my book, would love to see him grace us in the final Friday. Especially since so many have passed away. Thanks for the content, loved the way you put the story together!
Yup they was type casting the hell out of chris tucker im glad he branched off from that i don't blame him who the hell wants to play the same kind of role everytime.
Agreed he made the right decision but he can comeback as the new older mature Smokey. Hell make him a preacher or pastor with DC Youngfly as his young knucklehead son. Boom
I think Chris Tucker made the right move we have to do what's best for ourselves bcz sometimes it's time to move on to bigger and better things, and to make more money to flourish we can't stay stagnant especially in the entertainment business.
Cube was the only smart one who didnt take the money. He ended up being better on his own. Chris-Smokey Cube- NWA. Cube went solo and Chris ended up doing Rush Hour. Bo disrespect to either of them
I am so proud of Chris Tucker in making that decision. It takes a REAL person that is not driven by things other than...he has a strong mind where others have a weak mine!
With decisions which lead to such debt, what could be the outcome of a decision for a beloved actor to return to a popular character? What happened to an aged Anthony Hopkins when he decided to return as a cannibalistic murderer (who didn't even have to do much killing)?
@@whoishe2527 I think that should be embraced and should play on that in the script or something but it definitely has to evolve, being old doesn't necessarily have to be looked at as bad
Yes yes I totally agree I just said that to on another comment that dcyoungfly would be his son and comment faded Chris Rock will be a Jehovah Witness and I said and he's trying to change his son DC Young Fly and let him be the clown instead of Chris Tucker
I actually got to meet him about over a year ago at my bowling alley here in my town and he was with his church I believe he was part of some kind of fundraiser. It was cool because I actually got to talk to him like a normal person and he actually has given his life over to the lord and upon our conversation mentioned I was getting married soon so he told my wife and I “ God bless you and yalls marriage. One awesome dude
@@paulvasquez7897 yeah I liked Epps on bout the Benjamins better ,to me him and cube were better in that type of roles, shit thinking about it now I do think that was way funnier . Question ,who would woop ass deebaux or , forgot his characters name T$?
I guess some people cannot tell the difference between real life and acting in a movie, just like when you watch a horror movie and the guy is killing everyone, do you label this person as a murderer in real life? Just because his character smoked weed doesn’t make him a pot head in real life.
That’s how you get perfection. You need a bunch of talented people and get them to work for almost nothing, nothing but passion to create a masterpiece. Every scene of Friday is a work of art.
@Marsha Little you are missing the point bud these successful movies are not gods movies they are the devils they make a lot of money money is the root of all evil money is the devil
Ty Hairston while Chris Tucker was good in Friday I still suppot his decision for not coming back to the other Friday sequels because he made more money and got more recognition for his role as Detective Carter in the Rush Hour movies.

There was a DEFINITE void when Smokey didn't return to Next Friday and it is what it is. Him leaving made Friday an indelible classic never to be repeated. The next installments helped to introduce other people like Mike Epps into Hollywood. So, even though we will always feel the absence of that character, knowing that it gave chances to more people for a come up tends to soften that blow. Besides, when Mike started talking about Baby Dee, I was NO MORE GOOD!😅🤣😂
they shouldn't even accept them back I mean to be honest we're all past Chris Tucker in Friday Mike Epps has done a decent job at keeping that franchise going so why is everybody hung up on Chris Tucker?
Smokey just doesn't fit the actor anymore, it would be nice though ... I think it's the same reason we'll never see a crackhead Samuel Jackson again (Jungle Fever) ... It might hurt his current brand
I agree cause no one wants to be type casted because it does ruin their potential and success to get leading roles or even supporting roles in different movies that have a strong concept with subject matter.
They can always play off of the fact smokey went to rehab. It evolves the character in a way and allows tucker to put a new spin on an old part. Just sayin.
@@JayBelafonte true and Samuel can act out any character and bring the cadence to the screen cause when he does it it's like a out of body experience for him because once he's locked in the role he's officially aboard and also caters his ideas to the producers like the hairstyles he brought to different films through out the years because he's a genius and also bringing you into his character for whatever he plays.
@@gempr86 you're right and especially since that how the script was in next Friday and it can be anything he brings to it and it's up to him if he wants to do the last one if he agrees to but he also discuss that when he went on the Tom Joyner show and explained how it's a possible chance he might do it but it just depends on the script and he still keeps contact with ice cube til this day so it's his call but more than likely he won't be in last Friday lol
I love Friday but I actually agree with him. He wanted to prevent himself from being type casted and was successful in doing that. He actually got to expand himself and his career. Clearly whatever he did worked, especially seeing how far he's come since Friday. Tbh though, he will still be the main character that made Friday the movie it was.
Cube leaves N.W.A, pissed as fk cause Eazy-E not paying him what he deserves, makes Friday which went on to be a classic & make so many millions, doesn't pay any of the cast including Chris Tucker shit 🤔 Cube's greed fkd the Friday legacy up, not Chris.
@@Pluutowrldd thats how it is when you're the 1 putting the money up its your gamble you get the winnings. if you lose you still have to pay motherfuckers what you said you would pay them so it going to be a low amount.
@@myruleszz85 nope lol Chris Tucker is one of a kind you'll never get another like Chris mannnn! He got super big from rush hour did you forget ? There were 3 massive movies! Lol

@Lady Heart There are a number of comedians who are Christians who write well and use their experiences in their Faith to make people laugh without blaspheming the LORD. It's doable. :)
20mil per movie PLUS he got saved. Which is it? The money or religion? It can't be both. I'm guessing had Cube offered 20M. This man would have did his scenes with Bible in hand or not.
@@omar_padilla well I could see how it could mess with him personally over the years as time gone by and he done had kids and more life experiences he probably don't like people bringing it up to him or his friends and family making lil jokes about it very understandable....
@Darrell Williams I don't think you understand it's funny to us hell it might of been funny to him at the time but as time went by he probably started to feel different about it you can't make nobody feel how they feel about something if that's how they really feel.
Exactly. I'm wondering if they're entitled to any royalties. And if there is royalties coming in from the first Friday, I'm wondering who's receiving them? 🤔
@@ilovejesuschrist992 I believe it's Miramax who collects the royalties. Cube couldnt afford to pay everyone so he had to have a company behind him.. but imagine if he didn't use them?? He would've been a billionaire rn
Also. Anthony Johnson [plays Ezal] said he didnt get paid a dime. Paula Jai Parker [plays Joi] said she got paid what she was owed because she had people to negotiate for her.

Very understandable reason. Loyalty is one thing, but people gotta eat at the end of the day.

He should play a preacher

Tim Oliver reaching for bigger and better but did multiple Rush Hours?? Lol that was the same damn role lol he was just reaching for the bag 🤷🏾♂️
Yeah it would have been even smarter if he PAID HIS TAXES!
Yeah him saying that is BS. The only difference between his being in the Rush Hour movies and his being in Friday is the cash. Rush Hour was not a better movie it just paid better. When he said bigger and better he meant more money.Its fine to do that but don't confuse that with being a better movie. There are plenty of well bankrolled movies that were garbage and plenty of low budget movies that were tremendous. Ask Kevin Costner how Water world a high budget film ruined his career. Compare that to how the low budget Rocky did. Which movie do you think most people wold consider the better movie
He has really had a near-perfect career. All of his roles are iconic and scene-stealing. A great comedian and a really good thinking actor, he puts a great charisma into everything.
TRUTH
I wouldn't mind seeing a " money talks 2"
Same here, Fridays and Money Talk were my best ones with Chris
Naw it was a classic

Gotta have long money
Yep, I don't blame him either. At the same time tho, he's only worth a little over 11 mill now, and when you take into consideration that he made 45 mill with just Rush Hour 2 and 3, not even counting whatever he made with Rush Hour 1, then that 11mill sounds like a long way in the wrong direction from where he should be at this point.... meanwhile Cube's worth 160 mill. Jus sayin....

@@wowcarter15 Well said
He had every right to keep going... I truly enjoyed all the work Chris put out over the years. He can't miss in my book, would love to see him grace us in the final Friday. Especially since so many have passed away. Thanks for the content, loved the way you put the story together!
I absolutely and totally agree with Chris Tucker. I love this man. God will continue to bless him because hes putting Him 1st. 😍🤩
He needs to come back And You Know THIS MMAAAANNNN

He owed 14 mil in taxes that will make anyone turn to god
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
what was he rewarded when he ended up on 14 million in back taxes what was the reward on that is that didn't get paid off
@@mrcarter3795 maybe he can do the final movie for the cost of his unpaid taxes plus a little more for his pocket.
Agreed he made the right decision but he can comeback as the new older mature Smokey. Hell make him a preacher or pastor with DC Youngfly as his young knucklehead son. Boom
TheIsaiah2076 That would be dope 🔥
Ok...I can see that....shoot Cube a DM
Thts actually a great idea
Dope idea
i was thinking the same thing....make him come back on a religious tip
I think Chris Tucker made the right move we have to do what's best for ourselves bcz sometimes it's time to move on to bigger and better things, and to make more money to flourish we can't stay stagnant especially in the entertainment business.
This sounds alot like why Cube left NWA. Money talks pun intended
But cube has a history of doing people dirty. He got played while he was with NWA and I guess he felt do others dirty first.
@Westcoast Dre I'm over here backing up smokey and you say that stupid ass shit. You are what they'd call," ignant"😂😂😂😂😂
Westcoast Dre tf being Mexican gotta do with it. U just another lame ass nigga talking on the internet
Its funny cause Chris was in a movie called money talls
Cube was the only smart one who didnt take the money. He ended up being better on his own. Chris-Smokey
Cube- NWA. Cube went solo and Chris ended up doing Rush Hour. Bo disrespect to either of them
I am so proud of Chris Tucker in making that decision. It takes a REAL person that is not driven by things other than...he has a strong mind where others have a weak mine!
🤔 And Not Selling Out For Fame🤷
Friday make chris tucker a house hold name but rush hour bring him on another level.
"It's like Shaq and Kobe breaking up" damn, RIP Kobe and GiGi

I'm glad Chris Tucker went the route he did he did a GREAT JOB!!!! Im Happy for him because he made the right decision and for his family.
With decisions which lead to such debt, what could be the outcome of a decision for a beloved actor to return to a popular character? What happened to an aged Anthony Hopkins when he decided to return as a cannibalistic murderer (who didn't even have to do much killing)?
Manuel Brown I commend him
Frank Hernandez That’s his busy not yours

It's called "Last Friday"

For sure. I thought he was great in that movie. A lot of range, from comedic to dramatic.
Money Talks for me.
I agree
Yup
PREACH.....
Since he wants to Evolve, Let him play DC Young fly dad and incorporate Cubes real son as Craig and Debbie son and play it from that angle!
I love this!!!!!
True
Yes yes I totally agree I just said that to on another comment that dcyoungfly would be his son and comment faded Chris Rock will be a Jehovah Witness and I said and he's trying to change his son DC Young Fly and let him be the clown instead of Chris Tucker
If you ask me that is a deep idea they owe you credit for that one you just wrote the story line right there
That would be dope 😎👌
Smokey over Day-Day any day
At least day day came back
I agree but Mike Epps was hilarious, too.
Naw ian gon say that...
BRUT3MURD3R3R nahh they bout what and what to me
Man when epps said "y'all hoes need to get off this corner"i still get weak
I actually got to meet him about over a year ago at my bowling alley here in my town and he was with his church I believe he was part of some kind of fundraiser. It was cool because I actually got to talk to him like a normal person and he actually has given his life over to the lord and upon our conversation mentioned I was getting married soon so he told my wife and I “ God bless you and yalls marriage.

"The Fith Element" was an still is a amazing movie! Loved him as Ruby Rhod. Hot Hot Hooot!😄
He didnt wanna be known for being a pot head cause of a movie
No, he came out as a pothead in Jackie Brown. He just wanted more $$$$
I guess some people cannot tell the difference between real life and acting in a movie, just like when you watch a horror movie and the guy is killing everyone, do you label this person as a murderer in real life? Just because his character smoked weed doesn’t make him a pot head in real life.
TRUTH
I wouldn't give a fuck, just pay me!!
Shut up, that's stupid
Cube himself knew he couldn't afford to pay Tucker what he was worth.
temaori007 Cube didn't pay John Witherspoon a million dollars until the 3rd Friday. I wonder how much Cube was paid for Friday.

That’s how you get perfection. You need a bunch of talented people and get them to work for almost nothing, nothing but passion to create a masterpiece. Every scene of Friday is a work of art.

There was a DEFINITE void when Smokey didn't return to Next Friday and it is what it is. Him leaving made Friday an indelible classic never to be repeated. The next installments helped to introduce other people like Mike Epps into Hollywood. So, even though we will always feel the absence of that character, knowing that it gave chances to more people for a come up tends to soften that blow. Besides, when Mike started talking about Baby Dee, I was NO MORE GOOD!😅🤣😂
He left cus he was makin 20mil on rush hour compared to the 5k they all got
Dingle Barry it'd be a scumbag move to go with a film that pays you 20mil as opposed to 5k?

they shouldn't even accept them back I mean to be honest we're all past Chris Tucker in Friday Mike Epps has done a decent job at keeping that franchise going so why is everybody hung up on Chris Tucker?
If he does another Friday. They should pay him before the camera rolls
Agreed. It was smart at the time but now he needs to humble himself and end the series with the ones that made it. He hasn’t been hot since 07-08
Smokey just doesn't fit the actor anymore, it would be nice though ... I think it's the same reason we'll never see a crackhead Samuel Jackson again (Jungle Fever) ... It might hurt his current brand
I agree cause no one wants to be type casted because it does ruin their potential and success to get leading roles or even supporting roles in different movies that have a strong concept with subject matter.
Samuel Jackson is open to anything he’s a totally different person than Tucker
They can always play off of the fact smokey went to rehab. It evolves the character in a way and allows tucker to put a new spin on an old part. Just sayin.
@@JayBelafonte true and Samuel can act out any character and bring the cadence to the screen cause when he does it it's like a out of body experience for him because once he's locked in the role he's officially aboard and also caters his ideas to the producers like the hairstyles he brought to different films through out the years because he's a genius and also bringing you into his character for whatever he plays.
@@gempr86 you're right and especially since that how the script was in next Friday and it can be anything he brings to it and it's up to him if he wants to do the last one if he agrees to but he also discuss that when he went on the Tom Joyner show and explained how it's a possible chance he might do it but it just depends on the script and he still keeps contact with ice cube til this day so it's his call but more than likely he won't be in last Friday lol
I love Friday but I actually agree with him. He wanted to prevent himself from being type casted and was successful in doing that. He actually got to expand himself and his career. Clearly whatever he did worked, especially seeing how far he's come since Friday. Tbh though, he will still be the main character that made Friday the movie it was.
He never would’ve been typecasted
He was one of the main characters in the movie.
Cube leaves N.W.A, pissed as fk cause Eazy-E not paying him what he deserves, makes Friday which went on to be a classic & make so many millions, doesn't pay any of the cast including Chris Tucker shit 🤔 Cube's greed fkd the Friday legacy up, not Chris.
