Rob Scneider (right) has played second-banana to some of Hollywood's most physically hit headliners. He is currently starring opposite kick-boxing sensation turned box office smash Jean-Claude Van Damme in the high-octane thriller "Knock Off." Pictured with looker Karen Leigh above, it's Schneider's quick dry wit and annoying voice that make him the perfect modern-day Hollywood sidekick. We're not really sure what he's saying in this scene, but we can be fairly certain that it is good-natured and witty enough to make the grip of those tight ropes a little more bearable.
