Shawn Wayans Quote
"We watched a few [dance movies]. We watched a couple ... couple hundred thousand. We thought it'd be a funny [next step]."MTV: Wayans Brothers Have Their Sights Set... (November 10, 2008)
"Basically, it's 'Step Up 2' on the streets, and our Tracy Transfat character, who's kinda like the big chubby girl from 'Hairspray,' got tossed into the air and lands on the car from 'How She Move' and blows the windows out, and so that's the ending of the big 'Step Up 2' dance scene."MTV: Wayans Brothers Have Their Sights Set...
