Why is he complaining that he doesn't like the movies. e does get to read the scripts before he does them right? Oh wait, he's doing it for the money so he can take American money and use it to fund his projects in China.
If he thinks that American humor is lost on he Chinese, then he's probably right because most Americans don't think the humor in his Chinese movies is very funny as it is on the level of a 4 year old.

I haven't seen any of the Rush Hour movies but from the trailers I've seen they look pretty bad.

no, its true, his old hk movies were hardly Shakespeare
many hk comedies are slackstick and tacky. never mind their horrible horrible soundtracks.his lack of try is fail. esp at learning english. one should expect more from people who get paid so much.

I actually love the Rush Hour movies a lot. I can understand why Mr. Chan doesn't like them though.
That is too bad
That is too bad
I'm Chinese and I loved the Rush Hour movies. I thought he and Chris Tucker had great chemistry in those movies. The 3rd one was the weakest though. I'm surprised at all the negative comments about Rush Hour. When I saw Rush Hour 2 in the theaters, it had the best reactions from theater-goers I have ever seen. I have never seen a crowd enjoy themselves more -- everyone was laughing hysterically.

Actually if they are still getting paid that shows exactly what is expected of them. That is, as long as he is getting paid he is is doing what is expected of him. Capitalism. He is not morally obligated to do anything for you, jeez.
They're watchable, but complete crap compared to the better, older stuff. Operation Condor is still my favourite. I can completely understand his view, even the "money". I know I'd take it...

one can expect more from highly paid people. its about respect, not justifying a paycheck. there are plenty of highly paid jackasses out there.
Why does it matter? Do you enjoy every second of your work? If not, you aren't standing up for your principles and by your logic, you are a douchebag.
When the hell did the concept of working to make money become so foreign to Americans?
He works to make money to do other stuff he wants to do. You are seriously telling me that if someone was going to pay you $10 million to make a movie, and TONS of people would like it, but you didn't like it...that you wouldn't? I call shens.
I actually think he made more than that on 2-3 but I am too lazy to look it up.
How is it blind patriotism and irrational hate and anger. I've seen a lot of his movies and like them. However the humor in them is very juvenile.
How is it patriotic pointing out that he takes money made here and uses it to fund things in China. It's the truth, it's stated in the article.
You are the irrational one, taking someones stated opinion and trying to slander it as being a bad thing.
Why was this old thread bumped?
I think I said it before, but just to reiterate: some actors/actresses don't like typecasting.

No, you are the one interpreting blind patriotism as a bad thing, I made no judgment about if it was good or bad, perhaps you like being the ever vivacious patriot! Anyway, Jackie Chan has got to be one of the nicest movie stars in the world. He donates a heap of money to charities and helps out the poor in china in many signifigant ways as well as runs free martial arts training academies, thats what he wants to spend his money on. God forbid a actor wants to help people who live in the same city/country he is from. Not to mention if I am not mistaken Hong Kong wasnt even part of China until a few years ago, it is a very americanized city in just about everyway. You should understand who you are bashing before you reach for the 'i hates them there foreigners' card.
it's not a foreign concept to americans, but it's the typical american reaction to hate someone that has more than they do. that's the reason a great percentage of people here will say they hate bill gates. most americans will try to tear someone else down before they try to learn from other's examples and build their own selves up.
Considering the level of humor found in his earlier movies, I can understand that he wouldn't understand verbal humor in American movies. And maybe he feels slighted in the Rush Hour movies, and that's also true too. Either way, he's in denial about his abilities and might be venting his frustrations a bit. The man is a 53 yr old kung fu stuntman with some charm and charisma and he's losing his physical abilities.
