Chan disses Rush Hour

It’s not like we didn’t know think or say this, but when Jackie Chan, the star of RUSH HOUR 3 says it, it’s news. Here are his thoughts on the movie, which he posted on a blog. Yes, even Jackie Chan has a 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 said “Rush Hour 3″ was no different from the first two installments for him.

“Nothing particularly exciting stood out that made this movie special for me … I spent four months making this film and I still don’t fully understand the humor,” he said, adding the comedic scenes may be lost on Asian audiences.

Um, Jackie, couldn’t this be said for most of your American films? I think this pretty much guarantees that we won’t be seeing a RUSH HOUR 4, but given the disappointing take of the third one, I don’t think that was a threat anyway.
