I am exhausted... feel dirty all over
Brett Ratner, jackie Chan, and Chris Tucker... by schnipple	Jul 15th, 2007 06:17:26 AM
should be sent to an alternate universe where all they do is make Rush Hour sequels and are not allowed out
FOURTH!! by Kragmose	Jul 15th, 2007 06:32:48 AM
I could not care less about this movie.. yet it sounds like a good sunday hangover movie..
Shit! by Mace Tofu	Jul 15th, 2007 06:43:31 AM
I'm still mad I bought the second one on DVD. Jackie and Bluescreen = : (
Well thats a shame by barnaby jones	Jul 15th, 2007 06:57:57 AM
The first two are good fun, it it'll be a disappointment if this one is not the same.
You guys enjoy that by Shawn F.	Jul 15th, 2007 07:20:53 AM
No thanks. Never really saw the appeal of the first two (gave them both a shot, just fell flat).
Hmmm... by MatDGZ	Jul 15th, 2007 07:31:58 AM
Kind of expected this to be the case. Chan is getting on a bit now...which is shit because he should NEVER get old and die. He's one the best things to ever come out of Asian cinema.
"Aw, HELL no...!" by Osmosis Jones	Jul 15th, 2007 07:37:56 AM
Jackie looks oooooooooooooooooooooold. :(
Tuckers been MIA... by Redfive!	Jul 15th, 2007 07:47:38 AM
For the last 6 years,seriously.The last thing he did was Rush Hour 2 and it feels more like 10-15 years he's been out.Now he's even fatter then in RH2 and it shows,he's like brando a big fat PIEZON!!
TOO OLD!!! by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jul 15th, 2007 07:49:33 AM
Chan is TOO OLDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!
Roman's in it?! Clear givaway they didn't film in USA! by DanDelion	Jul 15th, 2007 07:50:31 AM
Does he touch anyone?
The best scene Tucker was ever in.... by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jul 15th, 2007 07:50:36 AM
was when Sam the Man shot him in the truck of the car in Jackie Brown. Best thing he's ever done.
There is a Rush Hour III? I guess so. Who cares? Nobody by JackPumpkinhead	Jul 15th, 2007 07:55:25 AM
But at least this will keep Brett Ratt from destroying actual films and maybe keep him from material with volcanic potential that he turns into flat puddles of piss ("Red Dragon"). Keep him making the Rush Hour movies until part XXVI or until he dies of cocaine overdose. Just don't let him touch anything else.
keep him busy by darwinwins	Jul 15th, 2007 08:57:04 AM
i agree -- keep ratner busy and occupied making b-movies so he can't harm movies that have potential.
How could this possibly suck?!?! by WolfmanNards	Jul 15th, 2007 08:58:24 AM
East meets west will always be hilarious. Especially in the hands of the Chan Man. Unless, for some untold reason, Tucker lost his high pitch voice and his bug eyes- and the Chan Man forgot how to be asian, then I don't see how this won't be the greatest movie of any summer. I think that after this movie, there won't be summer anymore. The entire season will stop because there won't be anymore movies put into it that could even match the brilliance of Rush Hour 3. Suck my dick.
Paris is a disgusting city. by JaggedSac	Jul 15th, 2007 09:17:27 AM
Paris is actually guite dirty and run down in most parts. The Parisians actually cried foul when Jean Pierre Jeunet's Amelie came out and made Paris look gorgeous.
I read Latinoreview's script review a few months back.. by Charlie Murphy	Jul 15th, 2007 09:24:46 AM
...and those fucks hated it, but of course you can't judge a movie based on what they say because every movie reviewed there is only good based on how it treats latinos. el-motherfuckfaces, where's our dark knight review? anyways, the trailers for rush hour 3 look lame, at best. yet every film i see the trailer in front of, the audience cackles like fools, and it blows my mind. "what? did chris tucker say something racist? whoa, that's wacky! they got fingers shoved up their asses at an airport! I've GOT TO see this!" Fuck that, i don't think i'll make it out to this one. But this will definitely open huge, mark my words. I work with this fat fuck, and one day we were having lunch at the mall, and we walked past the cinema, where a rush hour 3 poster was, and this fuck nearly shit his pants. "I can't wait to see that!", he goes. This cat's dvd collection includes masterpieces such as XXX: STate of the Union, Into the Blue, and (are you ready for this?)... Van Wilder 2: Rise of Taj. (he even saw that one in the theatre.) I make it a rule to not see anything he has recommended. So, to review, fuck latinoreview, fuck my fat fuck co-worker, fuck "Rush Hour 3: A Brett Ratner film", and fuck all you fucks that contribute to its 45 million-plus opening weekend.
JaggedSac... by Darkman	Jul 15th, 2007 09:26:33 AM
That doesn't sound too good for tourism. And have they seen RATATOUILLE, 'cause Paris looks quite attractive in that movie.
HIS NAME IS LEE GOD DAMNIT!!! by rhcp2sweet	Jul 15th, 2007 10:18:37 AM
this movie is going to suck balls
Chris Tucker's gotta eat. by aboriginal	Jul 15th, 2007 10:54:05 AM
Seriously, what the hell else has he got going?
DIE HARD 4 MOTHER FUCKERS ! by barnaby jones	Jul 15th, 2007 11:05:14 AM
Watch it.
Chris Tucker is to The Fifth Element as....... by Mel Garga	Jul 15th, 2007 11:30:34 AM
Jar Jar Binks is to The Phantom Menace.
I would bet bank that all the funniest parts by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Jul 15th, 2007 11:58:30 AM
are in the trailer that is out. No need to go see this.
Jackie Chan deserves better by Sir Loin	Jul 15th, 2007 12:15:43 PM
No matter how old he is, the man's awesome and should be given more screen time than Tucker. Go watch Drunken Master 1 & 2 and be amazed.
If they would make this series... by chromedome	Jul 15th, 2007 12:44:39 PM
...WITHOUT Chris Tucker, I might see it. Mel Garga is right--CT was the Jar Jar Binks of Fifth Element. And his name on the credits of anything since has been a deal breaker for me.
Roman Polanski by Daddylonghead	Jul 15th, 2007 01:22:22 PM
I understand his cameo involves raping a fourteen-year-old.
Best fight scene ever? Bruce Lee & Chuck Norris by Doc_Strange	Jul 15th, 2007 03:24:48 PM
Fighting in the Roman Coliseum. Choreography was perfect. Norris was one ugly bastard.
"every movie should be seen"? by wash	Jul 16th, 2007 02:33:52 AM
Aerocrow, "From Justin To Kelly" wants to have a word with you.
What's next? Shanghai Afternoon Naps? by The Dum Guy	Jul 16th, 2007 03:32:03 AM
I hate to see Jackie Chan re-hashing shit that was beneath him from the get-go, but then again it is still Jackie Chan. Has anyone seen the first American movie he did in, I think the eighties? I remember there being a Jackie Chan video for NES way back when old was new.
Gotta add... by Tourist	Jul 16th, 2007 03:37:06 AM
That while I was in Paris, I was amazed at just how ugly, boring and dirty it was. The only part of the city that had any sort of buzz was Montmare, and only cause the neon lights for porn stores are so bright. Otherwise it was just kind of grey. The Eifell tower...It was a big piece of metal with some stairs and a view of one dull city. Great metro system though. Really sweet public transport. The little lamps at the top of the stairs were cool too. Watching bag snatches from my balcony was fun too, but I could probally do that at home.
Really, Tourist? 'Cause I had an ex, that loved... by The Dum Guy	Jul 16th, 2007 03:57:45 AM
Paris, but then again they were (are) a complete whore/slut. I'm not angry at them, but I sure as hell don't believe that they have good taste, especially since they dated me. I'm not sure if I'm serious, or not.
Let me Reassure all of you by LastHorcruxIsHarry	Jul 16th, 2007 05:35:51 AM
THIS MOVIE SUCKED SO FUCKING HARD IT HURT ME PHSICALLY. terrible plot. same old race jokes (not that i dont appreciate that humor, but its literally the same jokes from the first 2). crazy ass not-bound-in-reality parachuting from the eifel tower scene. save your nine dollars and use it to get drunk and fall asleep. much better use of your cash. and believe me, nobody wanted this movie to be a good one more than i did.
Is Johnny Drama in it? by Z 008	Jul 16th, 2007 05:47:44 AM
Cause if he is I'm seeing it
LastHorcruxIsHarry by Lost Prophet	Jul 16th, 2007 06:17:25 AM
If that's true (Your handle) you are the biggest dick in the history of Tb's and should also be automatically banned for that name. Fuck Rush Hour 3 was there really a clamour to get this made?
I say this on every Rush Hour talkback. by Cotton McKnight	Jul 16th, 2007 06:36:17 AM
If I had my way, there would be a second Shanghai Noon sequel. I always preferred that "franchise" to the Rush Hour movies. I think Owen has a better chemistry with Jackie than Chris, and the movies are more fun. And Shanghai Knights is INCREDIBLY underrated. That movie was flat out wonderful.
Rush Hour 3 on AICN? Huh? by Jakes Nel	Jul 16th, 2007 07:20:46 AM
Soderbergh's Ocean's 13 goes by unnoticed, but hey, let's start drooling over the next Ratner/Tucker/Chan (three cinematic geniuses, obviously)piece of shit! Unbelievable...
"Much rejoicing" by sargent1	Jul 16th, 2007 07:30:19 AM
...probably a riff off of the Monty Python line from The Holy Grail, "...and there was much rejoicing." followed by a distinctly UNenthusiastic "yay".
An Outsider by BeyondStatic	Jul 16th, 2007 08:49:14 AM
Sorry to hear that. I was looking forward to this one. I know I'm an outsider on this, but Ratner's got a masterpiece in him yet. (though granted he's in a slump with 'Red Dragon', 'X-Men 3', and his appearance in "On the Lot".) The first 'Rush Hour' was fantastic, the second wasn't terrible, 'Family Man' was heartwarming, and 'After the Sunset' wasn't bad. He's got lots of potential, he just hasn't found his muse yet. I'll keep following his career. He's got one. He's one up on me.
I quite enjoyed After The Sunset and X3.... by barnaby jones	Jul 16th, 2007 09:09:30 AM
had the best action in the series.
Saw the trailer by Baltimoron	Jul 16th, 2007 01:10:17 PM
Looked like poop. Z 008 - I was wondering the same thing. French Cab driver??
Best? by Spender	Jul 16th, 2007 01:10:26 PM
""He's one the best things to ever come out of Asian cinema"" Gong Li being the first best thing. She was offered a role in this by BR but turned it down, thank Goodness.
needs some ice cube by theonecalledshoe	Jul 16th, 2007 02:16:23 PM
or some ice t.. somethin' ice at least.
Backstories don't always need filling in. by eraser_x	Jul 16th, 2007 03:23:42 PM
Sometimes, it's better just not to explain a character's backstory that explains every motivation in pop-psychological fashion. Frequently, the explanation is both boring and robs what little mystery or romance or danger there might be about a character. The backstory should be skipped especially if the backstory and explanation are going to be of the boring, seen-it-before-100-times variety.
Cotton McKnight... by Osmosis Jones	Jul 16th, 2007 11:50:57 PM
Yeah, put me down for a third Shanghai movie. On the writers' commentary on the Knights DVD, they explain that that have the very last scene already written, and all they need is a green light to fit the rest of the movie in. I also appreciate how the Shanghai movies don't stoop to race-baiting as much as Chris Tucker does, some of which is funny, but enough is enough. Just give us Shanghai Dawn (with the return of Lucy Liu and Fann Wong, of course!) and allow Jackie to retire from acting and concentrate on grooming an heir to his particular style of martial arts.
