Kung Fu Kenny is a character played by actor Don Cheadle in the acclaimed Rush Hour 2 film, starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Kung Fu Kenny is an African American male who runs his own Chinese restaurant, which is a front for the illegal gambling activity that he host in the back. It is a clear indication that Kung Fu Kenny is submerged deep into the Chinese culture by his his clothing fashion, being fluent in Mandarin and his Kung Fu skills. 16 years later from the time of the Rush Hour 2 movie, Kung Fu Kenny made a reprisal as the alter ego of music artist, Kendrick Lamar in his new music video, DNA. The music video co-starred Don Cheadle as the detective who held Kung Fu Kenny for questioning under a lie detector test. The scene is a revamped mirror image of the movie, " The Day The Earth Stood Still", starring Keanu Reeves.
