He plays the manic fugitive in Money Talks. In Money Talks, Tucker plays a fast-talking petty crook and ticket scalper.
Tucker is on the run, pursued by the police and believed to be a deadly villain.
Sheen takes him in. He sees Tucker as his ticket to a major TV news exclusive. As Money Talks is a Chris Tucker vehicle, you'd almost wonder if the casting weren't an attempt to find only those who would make Tucker look good by comparison. At any rate, though he co-stars, Sheen is not really in this movie. He appears beside Tucker occasionally to do or say something in an unusually somnambulistic fashion, and that permits Tucker to start running his mouth, hopping around and overacting.
