      It looks like Brett Ratner was working on it and couldn’t get it picked up. He was canceled for sexual assault and harassment allegations. Apparently he also wanked it in front of the catering staff.

        Then Ratner directed an embarrassing puff piece documentary about Melania, and suddenly Trump is decreeing a sequel to a movie series that he has probably never seen. Weird.

      Also. Those movies did not age well. It’s essentially Chris Tucker being a racist sex pest in every movie. It’s kinda off putting. Only one woman in the series escapes tuckers sexual advances and that was because in the story she was related to Jackie’s character.

        Dude it’s a movie… It’s silly, it’s fun, it’s over the top. The first one is awesome as hell. You make it sound like he’s got full on rape scenes in the movie 😂

        Tucker is obnoxious in the movies and frequently gets put in his place by the women.

          Yes it’s a movie. There are lots of movies. I just prefer the ones with complete characters. For example, him in the fifth element is a more flushed out character that goes through a level of personal growth. Him being a sex pest in that movie makes sense and isn’t in every shot trying to get a pussy. In these movies tho. Dudes while character is Black man 6 can’t stop lusting after Asian women. Even if he knows said Asian woman is say giving him a massage as part of her job, or she’s actively trying to kill him and he knows she’s a human trafficking mass murderer he’s out her just talking about how their sex would be great.

          Take Will Smith’s character in bad boys. He’s a ladies man that isn’t afraid to shoot his shot to get laid but that’s not his whole character. They even address the stereotype of “Black men are sexually aggressive” in one movie on how a misconception can ruin friendships and destroy lives. I’m just saying. Watch black man be unbelievably inappropriate when you’re friends close family members has been sex trafficed by the chinese mob. So funny.

    Damn Jeffy, you gonna share those underaged girls?

    Edit: Ugh, let me explain the joke. Chris Tucker was on Epstein’s plane multiple times and was a huge supporter of Michael Jackson. Donald Trump was a good friend of Epstein. Brett Ratner was credibly accused of sexual assault multiple times. Donald Trump now wants to make Rush Hour 4.
