Added to the mix there is the loveable antics of a smart alec soul brother (Chris Tucker) who when captured by the evildoers says: "What kinda fucked up situation is this?"

Just as the good guy are setting out on their suicidal mission, they slowly lapse into a sing-along of Werewolves of London much to the chagrin of the CIA .
