Well, I’ve gotten to the final post for this themed month. I
knew that I was planning on watching some Jackie Chan movies, but I didn’t know
where else to go. Suddenly, Chris Tucker busted into the room, talked with that
voice of his for a few minutes, and threw the Rush Hour Trilogy into my face.
Okay, that actually didn’t happen, but that sounds better than me remembering
that I haven’t talked about these movies yet!
The first Rush Hour movie is what probably made me aware of
Jackie Chan. It was either that or Rumble in the Bronx. It also made me aware
of Chris Tucker who I really wasn’t watching when I was young. Rush Hour was
released in 1998, Rush Hour 2 came out in 2001, and Rush Hour 3 was released
after a six-year wait in 2007. Al three of them were directed by Brett Ratner
and were a financial success. I only saw them at home when they were released
on video/DVD. It’s a series that I’ve been meaning to get back to. So, do these
movies hold up now in 2020? Well… yay and nay.
