Rush Hour

Image hosting by Photobucket
The Rush Hour Movies are entertaining shit. Emphasis on
shit. Dumbass action movies that make up in short scenes
and pointless fight scenes what they lack in plot. Note: not
"plot originality" but "plot", period.
 
Every time I hear something about Rush Hour 3 it has
something to do with Jackie Chan questioning Chris Tucker's
 "professionalism", and rightly so. Chris Tucker is just Martin
Lawrence without the screen time to show what an ass he is.
An untalented ass.  I figure they shoot each scene ten times
and if he improvises something funny they use it. He does
occasionally say something funny, though I can't remember
anything at present. His humor consists of yelling things in
ebonics, which is funny in and of itself.
 
As for Jackie Chan, when he learns English I will respect his
"acting". He is an amusing acrobat, nothing more.
 
So you have an amusing acrobat and a comedian who every
once in a while says something funny. You also get some
crisp action scenes and a decent supporting cast. Not too bad.
The movies don't pretend to be anything more than teenager
entertainment and I appreciate that.
