Jackie Chan thought 'Rush Hour' was terrible when he first saw it

"Throw me your ass!"
....."Throw you my ass?" (High pitched Tucker)
I was on the floor crying.
THis movie has the worst running gag ("horny face") of any movie I've ever seen. Truly a low for cinema.

If it even gets made, they've only been teasing the film. Doesn't mean it'll actually happen though. That, and he's not getting any younger either.

Rush Hour gave us one of the greatest lines in cinematic history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpF2EH3_T1w
I thought that was going to be "he ain't gonna be in Rush Hour 3."

"That's Ricky Tan? That's Midget in a bathrobe"
Like that joke wouldn't fly today but I died when I heard it recently.

Me too, Jackie.
First thing I think of when this movie is mentioned.
Best scene in the series. I laughed a lot harder than I probably should had after that lmao
Then the quick cut of Carter stealthily tucking some money into his shirt lol

First one I like fine, but I really loved the second one. Used to watch that all the time when it was on TV (USA, TNT, or one of those kinds of channels).

Honestly,I think the Shanghai films are way better (Knights I would put ahead of many of his post golden age films), but Rush Hour 1 is still on the top half of his post mid-90's work. A lot of the humor is great, and I dont think Chris Tucker has had a better role since.

Rush Hour 1 > 2 > Shanghai Noon
Didn't really like knights or rush hour 3 all that much. But knights is much better of course.

No shit. You get one of the greatest stuntmen in all of cinema and you give him to Brett Ratner?
jetpacks was yes

They're really fun movies but in terms of action set pieces they fall well below what used to be his standard before he went Hollywood, and occasionally (like a single fight scene in New Police Story for example) here and there afterward when he did a movie in HK after that.
Since he doesn't really care about carefully crafted fight scenes any longer, though, I'd love to see him do more fun American-style action movies in the RH vein. Shane Black could be a great mix like was mentioned earlier.

the humor in Shanghai Noon holds up while Shangai Knights still fares pretty well in the action department.

How is there no mention of "Rumble in the Bronx"? That was the movie that put Chan on the map for me and many others I know.

Ha, I actually watched Rush Hour 3 earlier today.
It was just as shit as I remembered.

It was a real big deal. Seeing the trailer with him jumping off a building was mindblowing. Spent $3 on the matinee. Money well spent.

That's why I said Rush Hour was best second best Hollywood movie, Rumble in the Bronx obviously is his number one.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Rush Hour 1 is fine as a buddy cop movie that happens to have Jackie Chan in it and Chris Tucker isn't completely annoying in it.
Every other joke in 2 is "BLACK PEOPLE, GET IT?" or "CHINESE PEOPLE, GET IT?". It's shit.
They're both old and doughy in 3 and I don't even want to think about any of it.

RH3 has some funny jokes but I can recognise its flaws. RH1 and 2 are classics though. Basically
RH2
Rh1
Drive (Mark Dacascos film is the spiritual prequel to RH, I legit think this movie is a classic)
Martial Law (yeah I went there)
Rh3
RH TV series. This like Iron Fist are one of the biggest wastes of potential I have seen on TV. The humour was OK but not great but the action was atrocious. You got a trained martial artists and went Edward Scissorhands on the editing. What were they doing?
