Here's how you know you're a movie star. Take a break for six years, and then ask for $20 million against 20% of the back end. If you can get it, you're part of the A list club. And your name's probably Chris Tucker.

That's right, it's been more than a half decade since audiences have seen the motor mouth comic on the big screen. And now, New Line Cinema is prepared to put their money exactly where his mouth is…is that a bad idea? Maybe not, since forecasters like ReelSource are predicting an opening weekend take of $72 million (!) for Rush Hour 3.

In honor of the further adventures of the multi-million dollar man, who's made a mere ten pictures since his debut as Johnny Booze in House Party 3, we present a few worthy trailer clips that show exactly why he's still a household name to all of us who love him as James Carter in Rush Hour, Ruby Rhod in The Fifth Element or (our personal favorite) Smokey the bandit in Friday.

Trailer Clip #1 - Friday (1995)

Trailer Clip #2 - Rush Hour (1998)
