Yeah they're a great comedy team, I just watched Money Train on TV last night and then remembered I had an old copy on video of White Men Can't Jump and chucked it on straight after.
I love it in Money Train when Wesley and Woody are walking home and those gangbangers try to rob them and they end up arguing to the point where they forget what's going on around them and turn the guns on eachother and the gangbangers just take off, hilarious.
Best scene in White Men Can't Jump is the first meeting between Wesley and Woody on the courts, Wesley Snipes is so damned funny especially in the begining of the movie "you know I'm just that good" and when he shoots and leaves his hand in the air and he's like "I'm gonna just keep this up here" and runs around with his hand up letting everyone give him five.
I'd love to see them re-unite but with Woody in the better position this time if you get what I mean, in WMCJ he's the poor guy struggling and Wesley is well off and enjoying life under the rim and in Money Train Woody is the gamblin F up well Wesley is the sensible older brother.
If there was another film with them I'd like to Woody as a smart, funny street wise guy who helps Wesley out after Wesley is attacked outside a night club by a bunch of white folks, simple BS little character descriptions but something along those lines where Woody is the smarter one or more of a good guy.
