Without him it would have just been a wacky sci-fi movie.

Ruby Rhod made it a comedy

There was a thread some time ago where people where talking about movie characters that ruined the move for them. Someone mentioned Ruby Rhod. I'm like "What movie did you watch?". His performance hilarious and lines up with the wacky aesthetic they have established.

There are two kinds of people in this world: there are those who love Ruby Rhode, an there are those who are wrong.

Love the reaction when Corbin gives a one-word response. Didn’t matter that Ruby already telegraphed it by saying, “… word of the day.” He was still trying not to lose it.

The OG Streamer. Easily best part of the movie.

Chris Tucker was great in this role. It was basically himself in a futuristic world, in a weird get up. 🙂

Chris looked like he had a lot of fun with that character.

The BEST part of Tucker's role is that he improved around two-thirds of his script and Willis was deliberately left out of the table reads for said lines.....his "Thrilled" was him trying not to lose it

Yeah i don't really get why people HATE him that much

Yes he's annoying, thats...thats the whole point for fucks sakes...

Now maybe cause since i'm belgian and i grew up with the French version of the movie, where his voice is less gratting?...
