Why Chris Tucker Left 'FRIDAY' - Here's Why

Thank you for sharing this video, it was a good watch.

Whats interesting is, by Chris Tucker not joining further Friday films he actually got his character arc that he wanted as a positive role model. Since Chris is Christian, he didnt want to promote foul language and drug use. He got tired of kids coming up to him asking to smoke weed. By him not appearing in the films, when Smokey was brought up, Ice Cube said "Yea he went off to rehab". And him never coming back can mean that rehab worked and he changed his life around and got out of the "hood". So its pretty interesting when you think of it like this.

Its great that he kept trying to improve himself and his station in life. We got more hit movies (Rush Hour 1 & 2) for him making the decision to not return : )

Somebody on Reddit just posted a theory that Chris Tucker's character in Money Talks is essentially Smokey:

exactly.

Without Chris Tucker this is trash but it also left all the hot girls behind. Stupid Cube. He shouldve left the cast in tact or not made it. He probably didnt want to pay them and keep the checks. His such a cheap-ass stingy.

would have been interesting to see how Smokey would have interacted with the Joker bros. Smokey wasn't no bitch like Day-Day, he would have insulted Joker to his face.

reply

yea, like he did Big Perm

Big Worm had Smokey working for him, that's like you calling me "soft" because I won't say something to my boss. He's my boss you dumbass. Smokey said shit to Deebo when they were robbing Stanley, so the only reason he took shit from Big Worm was because he was working for him. If you actually watched the movie smokey showed several times he wasn't afraid of him. He wasn't afraid to shoot at Worm's goons, he didn't take any of Worm's threats seriously so i don't know what you saw to write that stupid ass comment.

This generation different. ya'll just say stuff for the sake of talking. smh.

All fine points here, I mean comparing your job to Smokey & Big perm's working relationship is logical. and yes he did stand up to deebo but then sat right back down & shutup, and those several times you say he stood up to worm, well that's referred to as fronting or being fake. but the Generation line was the best, i like you meme, you ole crazy bastard.

You could not even spell “ain’t” correctly. Do not reproduce yourself, because your children would be doomed.
