The second Riddikk flopped and Universal was shelving the series. He came back so he could get the rights to Riddikk (the project he actually cared about) and try to make it independently on his own.


Damn u ain't lying. It did flopped :mjlol:



Budget was 120 million and it did 115 million at the box office

When he came back for that cameo in Tokyo Drift the only successful movie he'd had since leaving these series' was The Pacifier :pachaha:

Both he and F&F needed each other if either was gonna make any money going forward

Ain't no fukking way anyone saw Ironman and didn't see it being as big as it was. People were clowing dude at the time for not returning to the role cause it was stupid. :dead:

Somehow, YOU knew back in 2008 that would give us an 11 year storyline over 20 more movies built off that one Iron Man movie....YOU saw the vision when even the actors and directors didn't.

Mind you, it wasn't even the biggest Superhero movie of that year....and is sandwiched within the Transformers franchise which was far more popular at the time.

Terrance legitimately thought that he was the star of the movie, cause he was getting paid than everyone else for beating up ludacris in back to back movies....he found out the hard way that he was replaceable.

And I and the rest of America said it was crazy for dude tobleave the franchise. :dead:
Especially since dude was really good in his role.

Terrible character. Whoever decided to switch Luda from a auto mechanic to a scientist should be slapped...probably the same person that put the characters in space :mjlol:

Tej was always a tricky dude who fukked with them Asians. Suki was his bytch and Jin was his right hand.

Remember the bridge? Remember cars scattering like roaches when the cops thought they boxed Brian and Rome in? That was all Tej tricky ass.

When introduced to Rome, Brian told Rome he has his hand in everything. He also knows who’s who when it comes to black market business.

I say that to say, that nikka probably been a fed this whole time.

Naw, I remember were calling Ironman the goat superhero movie for a month or 2.

Then the Dark knight dropped. :wow:


But with the ending, you knew it was the start of a franchise. Hulk dropped not too long after and continued the story.
