Rush Hour star Jackie Chan has posted the following unflattering entry on his blog:
“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 [...]

Hello all,
My name is Steve Mason, and I’m the guy who wrote that $50M was slightly disappointing for Rush Hour 3 (Editors Note: The comment thread spun off into an editorial written by Peter Sciretta comparing the film’s box office to Mission: Impossible 3). I’ve got nothing against Brett Ratner or Chris Tucker or New [...]

Last year CNN published an article titled “Mission: Impossible III opening disappoints.” The $150 million movie starring Tom Cruise made a whopping $48 million at the box office on it’s opening weekend, but was somehow considered a “disappointment.” That Monday, the same type of article ran in almost every newspaper on the planet. In one [...]

New Line’s re-teaming of Chris Tucker, Jackie Chan and director Brett Ratner has proved worth every penny of its investment as RUSH HOUR 3 is officially a blockbuster. The action-comedy has grabbed an estimated $17.8M on its opening day, and that should translate to a 3-day haul of approximately $49.8M. That’s less than RUSH HOUR [...]

I haven’t seen the movie so I may be getting this wrong as the contents of the scene are not completely spelled out. [...]

Talk has already begun about a possible fourth Rush Hour movie, further proving that their must not be a God, or at least one who cares about good movies. Director Brett Ratner introduced Rush Hour 3 at the Mann’s Chinese Theater premiere on Tuesday with a joke: “I’d like to welcome everyone to the first [...]

I’ve never really cared for the Rush Hour movies, or director Brett Ratner for that matter. I mean, the first one was fun, but did we really need two sequels? But someone, somewhere is contributing to the series’ box office success. For those people, I bring you this post (it probably helps that it’s [...]

 In a summer full of big blockbuster movies, adaptations, sequels and threequels, you would think that Hollywood would have made some record scratch. Not so! According to the AP, attendance is running behind last summer’s and has even fallen below that of the summer of 2005. According to Media By Numbers, 279 million tickets had [...]

New Line has released the movie poster for Rush Hour 3. Yawn.
