Chris Tucker Would Turn Down 'Jackie Brown' Now - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Chris Tucker regrets uttering the 'n' word so many times in Quentin Tarantino's 1997 movie Jackie Brown and insists he would turn the part down now.

The 34-year-old actor shares a profanity-filled scene with Samuel L. Jackson in the film, which upon its release attracted strong criticism from black filmmaker Spike Lee for its racist language.

Tucker tells Playboy magazine, "Back then I wasn't even thinking that much about how words like that affect people. But I do now.

"I wouldn't do it (make Jackie Brown now). I don't know how old I was then, but I'm a different person now. Hopefully, we evolve as we get older. Hopefully, we better ourselves.

"No, I wouldn't do that dialogue now."

Chris Tucker got issues. I wonder why he hasn't done any movies in a long time. He refuses to do another Friday movie with Ice Cube which has pissed off his fans of Friday movie who liked his character Smokey. Ice Cube is thinking about doing another Friday movie and he wants Chris in it but i don't think Chris is gonna do it. I saw previews for Rush Hour part 3 and it looks terrible. I won't be seeing it until it comes to video.

Chris Tucker better take all the work he can get now. He can't keep relying on these crappy Rush Hour movies. I saw only part 1. I didn't attempt to see part 2. He needs versatility on his resume. All that comes to mind is Rush Hour. If they ever decide to do another Friday movie, maybe he should make an appearance. I don't think he's too blown up to appear in Friday. Think of the money it would make. After all, the first Friday was special. Ice Cube and Chris had that chemistry. The others are so-so.
