Added to the mix we have the loveable antics of a sass-talking black man (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the the villain says: "All I know is when I get out of this here cell I'm gonna kick whitey's ass!" However this will prove difficult seeing that a cop with a vendetta (Ray Liotta) has secrets about his sloppy criminal record. Just as the good guy are departing on their perlious mission, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the dismay of NASA .
