Jackie Chan wrote an unflattering entry on his blog about the Rush Hour franchise:
“When we finished filming, I felt very disappointed because it was a movie I didn’t appreciate and I did not like the action scenes involved. I felt the style of action was too Americanized and I didn’t understand the American humor,”
Chan said “Rush Hour 3″ was no different from the first two installments for him.
“Nothing particularly exciting stood out that made this movie special for me … I spent four months making this film and I still don’t fully understand the humor,” he said, adding the comedic scenes may be lost on Asian audiences.
Oh Jackie, you didn’t miss the comedic scenes because your eyes are slanty, you missed them because they aren’t there. Poor guy; he’s just standing around all confused while Chris Tucker squeals for ten minutes and Brett Ratner goes, “Don’t worry, bro, screechy black dudes are hilarious in America. You’re doing great, now just sing Beach Boys. Perfect. That’s a wrap, I’m a go grab a pizza.” [via Yahoo Movies]

Chris Tucker makes me appreciate that I’m
notBlack. Poor Ja-kee. I say he should make a movie with Birthday Dog.Why can’t Xena and Gabrielle just lez out?! WHY!!!?? Jackie Chan is cool.
Yeah, the Rush Hour movies suck. Not like those Shanghai Noon movies. No, not at all.
I’ve heard that Brett Ratner eats toddlers. It’s true. Filmmaking is only so he can have enough money to buy them off the blackmarket. He likes them pan-fried with oyster sauce.
ACTION!
RELOAD!
All I got from this movie was that it should have been a Chris Tucker film, co-starring Jackie Chan.
These movies are meant to be silly, but c’mon man, this was too far down the stupid road for me.
Chris was cool in The Fifth Element though, so I tried to make it through Rush Hour 3.
Chan can shut his goddamn mouth. Nobody made him star in these movies. The guy got $15 million + 15% of the gross + control of distribution in Hong Kong. He made this movie for money and no other reason. Tough shit if it’s no good.
"I spent four months making this film and I still don’t fully understand the humor."
that’s pretty fucking humorous to me, I don’t know about you guys.
Yeah, I’m torn on this one. I think Jackie has sold out now. But then again, if I’d broken every bone in my body, I’d have sold out about 20 years ago…
So to sum up: Fuck Brett Ratner in his big fat cunty face!
chan = sleeper badass. poor guy… all he wants are some expendable stuntmen that he can throw in front of busses and whatknot. maybe toss some off a building. now that would make a good movie. and the jokes would be way easier to get.
"I spent four months making this film and I still don’t fully understand the humor."
That is pretty funny. But, if you see the deleted scenes/outtakes, it wouldn’t surprise you. His Engrish isn’t the best!
I say he should make a movie with Birthday Dog.
RIP Birthday Dog…we never expected that Jackie would eat you on a break from filming….
I’m not falling for a Rush Hour movie again. Fool me once, er, twice, shame on you; fool me three times, well, fuck you. I get suckered in because I like Jackie Chan, then I have to spend a week in hospital being treated for bleeding ears (why weren’t you smothered at birth Chris Tucker?), and catatonic shock for the mind-numbingly bad script/plot/direction.
There shouldn’t be culture barrier for the "humour" in these films, considering they relay primarily on physical gags. It’s the most universal, if low-brow, kind of funny. What Chan is saying is that he’s embarassed by them.
Seeing as Tucker is essentially Jerry Lewis in disguise, I wonder how well these films do in France?
I’ve only seen the first "rush hour". But I didn’t really watch it. I had just turned 18, so it was my first chance to rent porno. And it woulda been awkward only renting a porno, so I had to rent something else, or else that cute clerk would’ve though I was a pervert.
I have yet to see an American-made Jackie Chan film. Not because I’m not interested, just because I hate America.
So Nominus, was the porno any good?
Was it good? SPOILER ALERT! Although the plot was a bit thin, Chasey Lain indeed saved the world by administering orgasms. And that is exactly what I was hoping for!
For once I absolutly agree with frankXchange 100%! (110% on the smother Chris Tucker part!)
I can’t wait for "Rush Hour 4: Literal Rush Hour".
2 hours of Cheep and Chan trading witicisms about the beach boys and black people while actually stuck in rush hour.
FOUR STARS.
ATTENTION!!!
I have finished a basic wikipedia page for FilmDrunk.com. It is extremely preliminary, and can alway be edited. I know many of you will be upset that I did not include certain things, but guess what? You can put them in. I was very busy today, and didn’t get a chance to go into as much detail as I would have liked. I will work on it further, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t work on it too.
