In 1998, Tucker got a role to star along-side Jackie Chan. Hit movies all in the same year: The Fifth Element (1997), Money Talks (1997), and Jackie Brown (1997). In 1997 was the busiest year of Tucker's career.

Tucker also appeared in in another film, Dead Presidents (1995). Films such as Friday (1995) showed Tucker's television-comedy styling was very different from his stand-up. Tucker's character, Smokey, was a drug addict who was an energetic and outlandish person. Hilarious films, Friday (1995), alongside Ice Cube.

In 1995 Tucker appeared in one of his most notable and Side stars such as Bernie Mac, Marques Houston, and Khandi Alexander. Tucker made his film debut in House Party 3 (1994), along Tucker states his inspirations for comedy are Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor. Tucker was noted for doing exceptionally "clean", non-vulgar stand-up comedy routines. He found himself a frequent guest on the Def Comedy Jam (1992). After graduating from high school, Tucker made a change to move to Hollywood from Georgia to pursue a career in show business. Tucker was born in Atlanta, Georgia, to Mary Louise (Bryant) and Norris Tucker, who owned a janitorial service. I mean really, I’d watch anything with Jackie Chan in, so I’m 100% going to plop my money down on that kiosk - even if they’re both just sitting in a retirement home singing ‘War’ by Edwin Starr for 90 minutes.At one point in time, Chris Tucker was the highest-paid actor in Hollywood. I tell Chris Tucker, ‘Before we get old, please do Rush Hour 4.’” Otherwise, Rush Hour 4 we’re all old men. “It’s not about money! It’s about time to make. Still, Jackie is keen, and I can get behind anything he wants to do. But factoring in his recent tax troubles, it’s likely that he’ll jump on-board this very expensive money train (he got $25 million for Rush Hour 3). “The script probably at the end of this month will have a second draft and next year, probably start. “For the last seven years, we’ve been turning down the script, turning down the script. “ Rush Hour you can do any time… Next year!

There was supposed to be a Karate Kid 2 but the script isn’t right. “For the last 20 years, I’ve tried different. Talking to Power 106’s ’ The Cruz Show’, he said: Still, it appears that there’s still a thirst for more Rush Hour movies, as Jackie himself has confirmed the news that a third sequel has been green-lit. And it wasn’t just me that took this stance it took almost $100 million less than Rush Hour 2, and got tarnished with an embarrassing 18% on Rotten Tomatoes. That is because Rush Hour 3 is not very good.

Notice I put Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2 in there, but not Rush Hour 3. The Foreigner (I’ve not seen this yet but the trailer set me on fire).Around the World in 80 Days (shut up, this is amazing).

Out of his American movies, these are the only good ones: A lot of his Hollywood output sits somewhere near the bottom of the barrel - it’s his Hong Kong stuff that’s essential. Jackie Chan is the greatest - this we can all agree on, but it’s definitely OK to mention that he’s also made a couple of duds.
