It's a time-honored "rite of passage" tradition. The biggest action stars of Hollywood attempt to also show their softer side with a light family comedy. Schwarzenegger had Kindergarten Cop. Stallone had Stop, Or My Mom Will Shoot! Dwayne Johnson had The Tooth Fairy. John Cena had Playing With Fire. Dolph Lundgren had, uh, Kindergarten Cop 2. And in 2005, one of the industry's more recent rising action stars teamed with Disney to make his own attempt at this image evolution. The film was a big success, but years later - and despite what the star has himself claimed about franchise potential - no sequel has materialized. We investigate why this might be, as we dive into The Pacifier for Part One of "No-Vin-ber," our month-long tribute(?) to Vin Diesel.
