While Jackkeep's Hong Kong's action movies were huge abroad, it was not until the mid -1990s when he really began to attract the attention of the American audience. It is easy to see why his magnetic presence was transmitted as his trick is (and still) impressive jaw. The popularity of Chan couple with the growing Starwar power of Chris Tucker and you have the "fast hour" franchise, Trilogy of Globe Action Comedies, which revitalized the Buddy comedy for a new generation.

Hong Kong's chief inspector, Jackkeepy, will clash with LapD loud detective Jamesesiyes Carter (Chris Tucker), as they are entering all kinds of explosives. Much of the back and fourth humor stems from the couple, commenting on their various cultural shocks, which certainly puts these films in the period in which they were made. Even with very ordinary racist and sexist jokes that feel uncomfortable with modern standards, there is still an ection to these films because of the chemistry of Han and Tucker's natural screen.

Although the critical reception was mixed with Rush Hour films at best, they were mostly hit with American audiences. Chan has complicated feelings for the whole affairBecause they were not very kind of films he wanted to make, but they still made money in the western markets. However, Rush Hour 3 in 2007, the series, the series appeared on the Wallid that never recovered. He received the franchise's worst reviews with a 17% rating of "Skin Tomatoes", what is ironic given the first film inadvertently led to the creation of the site. There were many factors that contributed to the failure of the caper trilogy, and Jan had a pretty good idea of ​​what they were.

In an interview with a puppy with "Buzzfeed", Jan was asked how he would rank the "Rush Hour" films. The supermitwoman of military skills did not give the correct order, but the way he talked about the sequels, he said almost everything. You give you a hint. Chan didn't have much good things to say about the excessive budget trick (through Diversity):

"You know what, the first: a little money, a little time. We shot him like, 'go, go, go! Second: a lot of money, a lot of time.

To give some context to Chan's statements, the first "traffic hour" was made with a modest budget of $ 35 million, while its monetary resources of sequels increased exponentially with each installment. "Rush Hour 2" has almost tripled its budget at $ 90 million ", followed by the" Rush Hour 3 "jumped into the stratosphere with over $ 140 million". It is an incredible amount of money for 2007 and an average figure of blockbuster in Today's overwhelming budget landscape. The first two films were considered successful because at least they recovered their money. Rush Hour 3, however, has not even recovered half of their investment with their $ 258 million gross office. I am sure that much of the inflation has had to do with wages as Tucker received $ 25 million, while Jan took $ 15 million (through Diversity).

Getting a higher budget for a successful movie sequel is not uncommon, but Jan got the right idea when it comes to spending too much money. Having less resources at your disposal often leads to the finding of creative solutions to work on what film Whether have. Budget inflation usually leads to overcoming and thus creates more problems than they thought. If the "Rush Hour 3" cost as much as the second film, it would probably be considered monetary success, at least. However, questions about that third film exceed how much they cost.

After the Rush Hour 2 took the pair to Lee's home grass in Hong Kong, the Rush Hour 3 transfers them to Paris to find a collective of Chinese gangsters involved in a high profile assassination. By being six years since the last film, you would think they would take the time to make this better, but the film is so boring chaos with the very funniest and most delicious jokes of the franchise. Like someone who is mostly lukewarm the "rush of hour" franchise, but still respects the pairing of Jan/Tucker, I could even feel that their cooperation is already working on vapors and magic was very disappeared.

I avoided talking about Brett Ratner, despite listing all three films "Rush Hour" because he became a toxic figure in the film community. At best, he is an average director behind such unforgettable hits Like the "Tower Hestist" and "Hercules", and, at worst, A man with numerous disturbing charges of sexual assault lobbied against him. It certainly puts a cloud over the films "Rushing Hour".

On top of that is directed by the creep in the industry, there are also "Rush Hour 3" Roman Polanski In a deeply uncomfortable arrival as a French policeman who abuses Carter after arriving in Paris. It is really cursed by film through and it is not funny enough to avoid the double creep factor.

Following the critical and disappointments of the third film and box office, the "Rush Hour" franchise was largely stagnant, with the only events coming into recent memory is the terrible short -term television series of CBS in 2015 and speculated "Rush Hour 4". It is probably best to leave Ratner behind, as well as the franchise that has never been better than the first surprise movie.
