Jackie Chan Not A Fan Of Rush Hour Movies
Jackie Chan was only in it for the cash:
“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 in a blog entry on his Web site seen Sunday.
The actor said he made the sequel because he was offered an “irresistible” amount of money to do it and made the third installment, which was released recently, to satisfy fans of the series.
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 as well.
I would say that the humor was lost on everyone, not just Chan and Asian audiences, but since all three Rush Hour films made buckets of money that would mean I was placing way too much faith in the average moviegoer. I mean seriously, Chris Tucker.
Chris Tucker. And yet they still made money. Beats the hell out of me.
