Blue Streak is a 1999 American action comedy film directed by Les Mayfield and starring Martin Lawrence. The film is a remake of the 1965 British film The Big Job, although the original film is uncredited. The 1999 film co-stars Luke Wilson, Dave Chappelle, William Forsythe, and Nicole Ari Parker.

The film was released in September 1999 and opened as the number one movie in North America. It went on to gross nearly US$120 million at the worldwide box office. A sequel was in the works but never materialized and has since been dropped from plans at Columbia Pictures.

The soundtrack was also a success and has been certified platinum. It features artists such as So Plush featuring Ja Rule, Keith Sweat, Tyrese featuring Heavy D, Foxy Brown, Kelly Price and others. The lead single from the soundtrack was "Girl's Best Friend" performed by Jay-Z. The single garnered much airplay on both television and radio.

The film was shot on location in California. The prime shooting spot was Sony Pictures Studios which is located in Culver City, California.


Underrated comedy, IMO. Martin Lawrence was great here. B+

This movie is by far and away the best movie I have ever seen Martin Lawrence in and it's an underrated comedy flick as well. The storyline is hardly original, but Martin Lawrence is at his comedic best in this one. Say about this movie what you will, but the movie is a laughriot which I thought was funny even on repeat viewings. It's a good buddy flick with a little twist. Some more of decent action and a little less dodgy finale couldn't have hurt, but it was really good for what it was: an undemanding and simple comedy.
