He is widely considered to be one of the all-time great players of [[hardball squash]] (a [[North America]]n variant of squash played with a faster-moving ball and on slightly smaller courts than the international "softball" squash game). He was the dominant player on the hardball squash circuit throughout the 1970s. Sharif was born in [[Pakistan]], and is the son of the legendary{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}} squash player [[Hashim Khan]] (who dominated the international squash game in the 1950s).<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Sharif is the eldest of Hashim Khan's 12 children, and a member of the [[Khan squash family]]. At the age of 11, he was awarded a squash scholarship at [[Millfield|Millfield School]] in [[Somerset]], [[England]]. Despite having almost no knowledge of the English language when he arrived, he performed well academically and also developed into an outstanding squash player who, by 1962, had wonn every public school title open to him including the public schools under-15 championship (three times), the public schools under-16 championship, the Evans Cup, and the Drysdale Cup (considered at the time to be the unofficial world junior championship). At the age of 13 he also captured the Somerset County Men's A title. In the two years after he left Millfield, Sharif won the West of England title, the East of England title, the Surrey Open and the Scottish Amateur title. In 1970, he reached the semi-finals of the [[British Open Squash Championships|British Open]] (which was considered to be the effective world championship of the sport at the time).<br />
<br />
Khan's greatest achievements came on the North American hardball squash circuit. He settled in [[Canada]] in 1968, and came to dominate the professional hardball squash circuit for well over a decade. He captured every major North American hardball title, and won the [[United States Open (squash)|North American Open]] (the most prestigious hardball title at the time) a record 12 times in 13 years between 1969 and 1981 (he reached the final 15 consecutive times between 1968 and 1982). He also won the [[Tournament of Champions (squash)|US Professional Championships]] nine times in ten years between 1970 and 1979.<br />
<br />
In winning his final North American open title in 1981, Sharif beat his younger brother [[Aziz Khan (squash player)|Aziz Khan]] in the final. Three other brothers, Gulmast, Liaqat Ali ("Charlie"), and Salim ("Sam"), also competed in top-level hardball squash.<br />
<br />
In 2004, Khan became the first non-US citizen to be inducted into the [[U.S. Squash|United States Squash Racquets Association]] Hall of Fame.<br />
<br />
On September 24, 2015, Khan was inducted into the [[Ontario Sports Hall of Fame]] in [[Toronto]].<ref>http://oshof.ca/index.php/component/k2/item/212-sharif-khan</ref><br />

{{Hatnote|This article is about the 2008 film. For the meteorological phenomenon, see [[Pineapple Express]].}}<br />
'''''Pineapple Express''''' is a 2008 American [[Stoner film|stoner]] [[action comedy]] directed by [[David Gordon Green]], written by [[Seth Rogen]] and [[Evan Goldberg]] and starring Rogen and [[James Franco]]. Producer [[Judd Apatow]], who previously worked with Rogen and Goldberg on ''[[Knocked Up]]'' and ''[[Superbad (film)|Superbad]]'', assisted in developing the story, which was partially inspired by the [[buddy film|buddy comedy]] subgenre. The film was released on August 6, 2008. Franco was nominated for a [[Golden Globe Awards|Golden Globe award]] for his performance in the film.<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
Dale Denton ([[Seth Rogen]]) is a 25-year-old [[Service of process|process server]] and habitual pot smoker. He makes a visit to the home of his drug dealer, Saul Silver ([[James Franco]]), to buy weed. Saul tells him that he may already know the identity of his next service, Ted Jones ([[Gary Cole]]). Dale drives to Ted's house and witnesses a cop, Officer Carol Brazier ([[Rosie Pérez]]), and Ted shoot an Asian man to death. Dale panics and leaves his [[Roach (drug culture)|roach]] at the scene which contains a rare strain of [[cannabis (drug)|marijuana]] called Pineapple Express. Ted is able to identify the strain and sends his two henchmen, Budlofsky and Matheson ([[Kevin Corrigan]] and [[Craig Robinson (actor)|Craig Robinson]]) to dealer Red ([[Danny McBride (actor)|Danny McBride]]), who discloses that he has only sold the pot to Saul.<br />
<br />
Dale flees to Saul's apartment and learns that Ted is a dangerous drug lord and could trace the roach back to Saul. Dale and Saul flee into the nearby woods while Ted's henchmen persuade Red to arrange a meeting between Saul and Red. They accidentally fall asleep in Dale's car and wake up to find that they missed their meeting with Red. They leave the woods and arrive at Red's house, hoping to determine whether Ted has linked them with him. Red says Ted is not after them but Dale realizes that he is lying, starting a fight that results in Red getting knocked out. They wake Red and question him until he reveals that Ted has discovered who they are and means to kill them. Convinced that they are being pursued, Dale and Saul decide that they must leave the city. <br />
<br />
In order to leave town, Dale and Saul sell some Pineapple Express to raise bus fare. However, a police officer witnesses Dale and arrests him for selling marijuana. While Dale tries to convince the arresting officer that Officer Brazier is corrupt she believes him but Saul leaps out in front of the police car and hijacks it thinking that it is Braizer driving. Officer Brazier hears a police radio call of Dale's arrest and pursues Dale and Saul in a high-speed chase but they successfully evade her. After an argument with each other about the situation they are in, Dale and Saul go their separate ways. Saul visits his grandmother in an assisted living home but is kidnapped and held hostage in Ted's lair beneath a barn. Dale enlists Red to help him rescue Saul but Red unexpectedly backs out at the last minute and Dale is captured. While Dale and Saul are held hostage, they reconcile with each other and make plans to escape. <br />
<br />
Suddenly, a rival Asian drug gang attacks the barn to avenge a member's death at the hands of Ted and Officer Brazier, the same murder that Dale had witnessed. Dale and Saul finally free themselves but are caught by Matheson. Matheson grazes Dale's ear with a gunshot but is disarmed and shot by Saul. Dale and Saul join the fight and an ensuing brawl between Dale and Ted leads to the latter's death when one of the Asians activates a bomb that sets fire to the barn. Red saves Saul by killing Matheson but is shot by Brazier. A car inside the barn explodes, flips over and kills her. The explosion incapacitates Saul but Dale finds and saves him and they escape from the barn. Red also escapes and reconciles with them. Afterward, they eat at a diner and talk about their adventure before Saul's grandmother picks them up.<br />

==Production==<br />
The inspiration for making ''Pineapple Express'', according to producer Judd Apatow, was [[Brad Pitt]]'s character in ''[[True Romance]]'', a stoner named Floyd. Apatow "thought it would be funny to make a movie in which you follow that character out of his apartment and watch him get chased by bad guys".<ref name=HighHopes>{{cite web|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20192513,00.html|title='Pineapple Express': High hopes for James Franco|first=Benjamin|last=Svetkey|date=April 18, 2008|work=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|publisher=[[Time Inc.|Time Inc]]|accessdate=July 15, 2008}}</ref> According to Rogen, the ideal production budget was $40 million, but due to the subject matter—"because it's a [[stoner film|weed movie]]", as he described it—[[Sony Pictures]] allotted $25 million.<ref name=Budget>{{cite web|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20190469_2,00.html|title=Marijuana Movies: Riding High In Hollywood?|first=Shirley|last=Halperin|date=April 11, 2008|work=Entertainment Weekly|publisher=Time Inc|accessdate=July 16, 2008}}</ref> The movie is named after a real [[Cannabis strains|cannabis strain]] called Pineapple Express.<ref>http://www.leafly.com/hybrid/pineapple-express</ref><br />

The film has received generally positive reviews from critics with a rating of 68% on the review website Rotten Tomatoes. [[Michael Phillips (critic)|Michael Phillips]] of the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'' praised the film's script, noting that it "recalls what made ''[[Superbad (film)|Superbad]]'' worth seeing: the sidewinding conversational riffs, the ''why-am-I-laughing?'' wordplay."<ref name="Tribunereview">{{cite web|url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/chi-pineapple-express-0806aug06,0,5842152.story|title='Pineapple Express' stars James Franco, Seth Rogen|last=Phillips|first=Michael|work=Chicago Tribune|publisher=Tribune Company|date=August 5, 2008|accessdate=November 11, 2011}}</ref> However, he was critical of the second half of the film, and felt that the violence in contrast to the comedy of the first half was jarring and gratuitous.<ref name="Tribunereview"/> Sonny Bunch of the ''[[Washington Times]]'' agreed with Phillips, opining that "It’s a shame so much attention was paid to the gun battles and so little to character development."<ref name="WashingtonTimes">{{cite web|url=http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/aug/06/new-apatow-comedy-goes-up-in-smoke/|title=New Apatow comedy goes up in smoke|last=Bunch|first=Sonny|work=Washington Times|publisher=News World Media Development|date=August 6, 2008|accessdate=November 11, 2011}}</ref> Kelly Vance of ''[[East Bay Express]]'' enjoyed Franco's performance, stating that he "steals the movie easily", as well as the authenticity of the film's sets.<ref name="EastBay">{{cite web|url=http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/nice-dreams/Content?oid=1091145|title=Nice Dreams|last=Vance|first=Kelly|date=August 6, 2008|accessdate=November 11, 2011|work=East Bay Express|publisher=Jody Colley}}</ref> <br />

{{Hatnote|This article is about the 2008 film. For the meteorological phenomenon, see [[Pineapple Express]].}}<br />
'''''Pineapple Express''''' is a 2008 American [[Stoner film|stoner]] [[action comedy]] directed by [[David Gordon Green]], written by [[Seth Rogen]] and [[Evan Goldberg]] and starring Rogen and [[James Franco]]. Producer [[Judd Apatow]], who previously worked with Rogen and Goldberg on ''[[Knocked Up]]'' and ''[[Superbad (film)|Superbad]]'', assisted in developing the story, which was partially inspired by the [[buddy film|buddy comedy]] subgenre. The film was released on August 6, 2008. Franco was nominated for a [[Golden Globe Awards|Golden Globe award]] for his performance in the film.<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
Dale Denton ([[Seth Rogen]]) is a 25-year-old [[Service of process|process server]] and habitual pot smoker. He makes a visit to the home of his drug dealer, Saul Silver ([[James Franco]]), to buy weed. Saul tells him that he may already know the identity of his next service, Ted Jones ([[Gary Cole]]). Dale drives to Ted's house and witnesses a cop, Officer Carol Brazier ([[Rosie Pérez]]), and Ted shoot an Asian man to death. Dale panics and leaves his [[Roach (drug culture)|roach]] at the scene which contains a rare strain of [[cannabis (drug)|marijuana]] called Pineapple Express. Ted is able to identify the strain and sends his two henchmen, Budlofsky and Matheson ([[Kevin Corrigan]] and [[Craig Robinson (actor)|Craig Robinson]]) to dealer Red ([[Danny McBride (actor)|Danny McBride]]), who discloses that he has only sold the pot to Saul.<br />
<br />
Dale flees to Saul's apartment and learns that Ted is a dangerous drug lord and could trace the roach back to Saul. Dale and Saul flee into the nearby woods while Ted's henchmen persuade Red to arrange a meeting between Saul and Red. They accidentally fall asleep in Dale's car and wake up to find that they missed their meeting with Red. They leave the woods and arrive at Red's house, hoping to determine whether Ted has linked them with him. Red says Ted is not after them but Dale realizes that he is lying, starting a fight that results in Red getting knocked out. They wake Red and question him until he reveals that Ted has discovered who they are and means to kill them. Convinced that they are being pursued, Dale and Saul decide that they must leave the city. <br />
<br />
In order to leave town, Dale and Saul sell some Pineapple Express to raise bus fare. However, a police officer witnesses Dale and arrests him for selling marijuana. While Dale tries to convince the arresting officer that Officer Brazier is corrupt she believes him but Saul leaps out in front of the police car and hijacks it thinking that it is Braizer driving. Officer Brazier hears a police radio call of Dale's arrest and pursues Dale and Saul in a high-speed chase but they successfully evade her. After an argument with each other about the situation they are in, Dale and Saul go their separate ways. Saul visits his grandmother in an assisted living home but is kidnapped and held hostage in Ted's lair beneath a barn. Dale enlists Red to help him rescue Saul but Red unexpectedly backs out at the last minute and Dale is captured. Wyhile Dale and Saul are held hostage, they reconcile with each other and make plans to escape. <br />
<br />
Suddenly, a rival Asian drug gang attacks the barn to avenge a member's death at the hands of Ted and Officer Brazier, the same murder that Dale had witnessed. Dale and Saul finally free themselves but are caught by Matheson. Matheson grazes Dale's ear with a gunshot but is disarmed and shot by Saul. Dale and Saul join the fight and an ensuing brawl between Dale and Ted leads to the latter's death when one of the Asians activates a bomb that sets fire to the barn. Red saves Saul by killing Matheson but is shot by Brazier. A car inside the barn explodes, flips over and kills her. The explosion incapacitates Saul but Dale finds and saves him and they escape from the barn. Red also escapes and reconciles with them. Afterward, they eat at a diner and talk about their adventure before Saul's grandmother picks them up.<br />

==Production==<br />
The inspiration for making ''Pineapple Express'', according to producer Judd Apatow, was [[Brad Pitt]]'s character in ''[[True Romance]]'', a stoner named Floyd. Apatow "thought it would be funny to make a movie in which you follow that character out of his apartment and watch him get chased by bad guys".<ref name=HighHopes>{{cite web|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20192513,00.html|title='Pineapple Express': High hopes for James Franco|first=Benjamin|last=Svetkey|date=April 18, 2008|work=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|publisher=[[Time Inc.|Time Inc]]|accessdate=July 15, 2008}}</ref> According to Rogen, the ideal production budget was $40 million, but due to the subject matter—"because it's a [[stoner film|weed movie]]", as he described it—[[Sony Pictures]] allotted $25 million.<ref name=Budget>{{cite web|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20190469_2,00.html|title=Marijuana Movies: Riding High In Hollywood?|first=Shirley|last=Halperin|date=April 11, 2008|work=Entertainment Weekly|publisher=Time Inc|accessdate=July 16, 2008}}</ref> The movie is named after a real [[Cannabis strains|cannabis strain]] called Pineapple Express.<ref>http://www.leafly.com/hybrid/pineapple-express</ref><br />

==Release and reception==<br />
The film has received generally positive reviews from critics with a rating of 68% on the review website Rotten Tomatoes. [[Michael Phillips (critic)|Michael Phillips]] of the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'' praised the film's script, noting that it "recalls what made ''[[Superbad (film)|Superbad]]'' worth seeing: the sidewinding conversational riffs, the ''why-am-I-laughing?'' wordplay."<ref name="Tribunereview">{{cite web|url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/chi-pineapple-express-0806aug06,0,5842152.story|title='Pineapple Express' stars James Franco, Seth Rogen|last=Phillips|first=Michael|work=Chicago Tribune|publisher=Tribune Company|date=August 5, 2008|accessdate=November 11, 2011}}</ref> However, he was critical of the second half of the film, and felt that the violence in contrast to the comedy of the first half was jarring and gratuitous.<ref name="Tribunereview"/> Sonny Bunch of the ''[[Washington Times]]'' agreed with Phillips, opining that "It’s a shame so much attention was paid to the gun battles and so little to character development."<ref name="WashingtonTimes">{{cite web|url=http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/aug/06/new-apatow-comedy-goes-up-in-smoke/|title=New Apatow comedy goes up in smoke|last=Bunch|first=Sonny|work=Washington Times|publisher=News World Media Development|date=August 6, 2008|accessdate=November 11, 2011}}</ref> Kelly Vance of ''[[East Bay Express]]'' enjoyed Franco's performance, stating that he "steals the movie easily", as well as the authenticity of the film's sets.<ref name="EastBay">{{cite web|url=http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/nice-dreams/Content?oid=1091145|title=Nice Dreams|last=Vance|first=Kelly|date=August 6, 2008|accessdate=November 11, 2011|work=East Bay Express|publisher=Jody Colley}}</ref> <br />
