Was just flicking thru the channels on the TV and "All About the Benjamins" happened to be playing. If you haven't seen it yet?, it's that one movie starring ICE CUBE who plays as a bounty hunter, but also plays a serious "$600" fish paying fish hobbyist!! (Eva Mendes... is also in the movie too!) :D Yeah baby!!

Anyways, was just wondering if anybody else knows of any other movies, TV shows, etc. that has anything 'fish hobby' related to them? Let's hear them?!! :popcorn:

* Which Jet Li movie was it again when DMX was a Club Owner that had a big tank w/ a big ass lung fish (i think it was?) in his office??.... EXIT WOUNDS? "

The movie i thank of when you say Jet Li is " cradle 2 the grave." it's in the Guy town house, Jet Li jumps down the out side of the building and goes in throw the guys patio window. Then they find the guy later in the movie face down in the tank. Staring Jet Li and DMX. I seen las night on without a trace . The family owned a fish store they burned down and they moved all the fish to there basemnet. The frist fish they showed was the freaky of man the blood parret. the boy had Betta he keep. Another show is Mission Imposable the frist one staring Tom Curise. The reastrant they meet in has the whole 2 storie back wall a tank. He blows it up and fish and water goes out on the street.
Just a few there.
 
Check out Godfather 2 ... The Godfathers office you can see a small tank in the background.
Its a planted tank.. small but nice. :)
 
Detective Andy Sipowicz on NYPD Blue keeps African cichlids.

I also recall one of the Naked Gun movies where Leslie Nielson's bumbling character (Frank Drebin) ends up accidentally killing the lionfish in the villain's office while snooping around.

And we all can't forget the great movie: Austin Powers... Dr. Evil keeping sharks with friggin lasers

In Austin Powers #1, he was unable to get sharks with figgin laser beams, so they had sea bass......but they were ill tempered. He finally got his sharks with friggin laser beams in Goldmember.
 
just saw "man of the year" with robin williams....junk movie but theres a nice salt water tank in it.
