I remember when the first
Rush Hour film came out, it was way back in 1998. Jackie Chan was on a run of action films that was raising his international recognition (
Rumble in the Bronx,
Supercop,
First Strike,
Operation Condor) and Chris Tucker was a rising star following
Friday,
Money Talks, and
The Fifth Element, so it seemed like a good idea to combine the fleet feet of Chan with the fast tongue of Tucker. I have to admit, I really liked that first film, the second two. Granted it has been some years since I have revisited them. Now, for some reason I decided to revisit part 3, and it has not aged well. I’m not sure I really liked it the first time around back in 2007.
