MARCH MOVIE MADNESS: Ice Cube vs Ice Cube

Welcome to March Movie Madness, the month TV One airs some of the biggest premieres with some of the biggest stars including Samuel L. Jackson in The Cleaner, Terrence Howard in Spark, Pam Grier in Friday Foster and more.

Each week in March, we pit two of our biggest stars against each other in a Fame-off, which actor do you think delievered the goods in a scene from their film?

LAST WEEK: Chris Rock VS Anne Marie Johnson VS Antonio Fargas

THIS WEEK: Ice Cube comes up against his most formidable foe, himself. Cube stars in TWO movies this weekend Higher Learning (Saturday and Sunday at 7:30pm[ET]) and Trespass (Friday and Saturday at 10pm[ET]). He’s a bad ass in both films but it’s up to you to decide which movie he showed Cube at his coolest.

Higher Learning: In John Singleton’s classic look at race and higher education, Cube plays Fudge, a “super senior” who takes NO stuff. In this scene, he rushes a frat house after learning someone committed the number one sin — calling a Black woman the B word. Watch and judge.

Trespass: Ice Cube teamed with fellow rapper/actor/chilled beverage Ice-T for the action-drama Trespass which finds a group of criminals and treasure seekers facing off in an abandoned building. Cube plays tough guy Savon who is more likely to shoot first and ask questions later. Watch and judge.

Now that you’ve seen the clips, it’s time to vote for the best.

MARCH MOVIE MADNESS: “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka!”

Welcome to March Movie Madness, the month TV One airs some of the biggest premieres with some of the biggest stars including Samuel L. Jackson in The Cleaner, Terrence Howard in Spark, Pam Grier in Friday Foster and more.

Each week in March, we pit two of our biggest stars against each other in a Fame-off, which actor do you think delievered the goods in a scene from their film?

LAST WEEK: Pam Grier vs. Alfre Woodard

THIS WEEK: We though we’d switch things up and instead of pitting actors against each other, we’d have movie scenes duke it out for supremacy. So we’ve picked three of the most hilarious scenes from the blaxploitation-spoof <em>I’m Gonna Git You Sucka (premiering Friday and Sunday at 10pm [ET]) and are leaving it up to you to decide which is truly the funniest.

Scene 1: It’s barely longer than a minute, but Chris Rock’s cameo scene has produced the film’s most quoted line. Everybody together now . . . “How much for one rib?” Watch and judge.

Scene 2: In this age of plastic surgery, contact lenses and weaves, it’s hard for a brother to really know who he’s dating. Jack Spade (Keenan Ivory Wayans) learns this lesson the hard way in one of funniest scenes in the film. Watch and judge.

Scene 3: “It’s hard out here for a pimp.” Retired man-of-leisure Flyguy (Antonio Fargas) found no love when he stepped out in his 70s threads, including the most inventive shoes we’ve ever seen. Watch and judge.

Now that you’ve seen all the scenes, it’s time to vote for the best.

What's the funniest scene from "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka?"
