The situation turns sour as he figures out that his little sister (Nicole Kidman) has been working for the the bad guys. Added to the mix there is the madcap tomfoolery of a jive talkin' black man (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the villain says: "Wassup my niggas?" However this won't be easy because a nosy reporter (Al Pacino) has information pertaining to his sordid past. Just as our hero are marching off on their perlious mission, they suddenly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the chagrin of the ATF .
