A movie Will H. Hays wanted to pitchfork. Hands OFF freak! Anybody noticed the slightly blurred naked lady on the left? Link to post Share on other sites
TomJH Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Chris Tucker in The Fifth Element, truly one of the most obnoxious characterizations ever captured on film. If he had been in the film any more I'm sure I would have been in need of major dental repair from all the teeth grinding I was doing whenever he was on screen. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Outside of The Fifth Element, I've managed to avoid him so far. It's frightening to think that one day you might get stuck in a stalled elevator with a guy like this.

I generally don't like way-over-the-top characters in a film but I found Tucker to be very funny in 5th Element and a great contrast to the very stoic part Willis played in the film. I remember the wife being surprised I found Tucker so funny and not just annoying. The editing and direction were done well (mostly by keeping his scenes really short) so that he didn't drag down the film for me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Reportedly said on the set and right before the filming of a certain key scene in the first mentioned film here: "Ya know, they're gonna hate you throughout America for what you're about to do to me here, don't ya?!" -"Yeah, but they're gonna love me in Berkeley, Duke!" (...love this story Dern has told many times over the years and why I'm posting it here again, as it still cracks me up every time I think of it after someone mentions The Cowboys) 2 Link to post Share on other sites

He was so despicable perhaps a better nickname for him would be "Loathsome" Rhoades! Hats off to Andy though for playing such a despicable character with all the right notes. I really did not see any trace of Sheriff Andy Taylor at all in here. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
