From the Associated Press:


HONG KONG - Jackie Chan says the third installment of "Rush Hour" is stuck in neutral because co-star Chris Tucker is making too many demands.

"He wants too much power. The movie company hasn't obliged. He wants final editing rights and the final look at the movie and so on," Chan told The Associated Press Thursday.

Chan called Tucker a "good friend" but questioned whether he had the stature to be so demanding.

"He's still a new actor," Chan, 51, said. "How many movies has he made? Two movies have already made him very famous and made him a lot of money."

"He needs to learn slowly," he added.

A call by The Associated Press to Tucker's publicist, Samantha Mast, wasn't returned Friday.

While "Rush Hour 3" remains in limbo, Chan said he's going ahead with another project - one with famed Chinese director Zhang Yimou. Zhang's recent films include "House of Flying Daggers" and "Hero."

Chan declined to reveal details of the movie, saying only that it would be "galvanizing" and is set in the 1980s. He said the idea is his, but Zhang will work on the script.

"He relies on imagination ... like an arrow flying through water," said Chan. "He has elevated the martial arts genre. I believe he can make any type of movie now."

I get the feeling Chris Tucker is a lot like his movie characters in real life. Loud and not too bright.

Chan needs to mind his own business & not worry about what Chris Tucker is doing. If Chris Tucker decides he wants this met & that met...that's his decision. Chan doesn't have to do the movie with him. I know, the movie wouldn't make any sense without both characters in the movie.

My point is, I can't stand when other people spend so much damn time worrying about what other people are doing. Chan, worry about what you're doing. If the movie was meant to be, so be it.

And who the hell cares how many movies Chan has done or Tucker has done? So what. That has nothing to do with what Chris Tucker feels is necessary to do the movie.

Chan needs to learn a lot about negotiating. "Learn slowly." Please, get a clue.

Then you ought to mind your own business and stop worrying what Chan is doing :p For someone who doesn't like it when people "care" about other things you seem to care a lot about it.

Chan is a big name actor who has the right to voice his opinion, if he thinks Tucker is going so far there's no reason at all why he shouldn't tell people what he's thinking. Tucker is inexperienced, and seemingly very immature. He's a very one dimensional actor that has yet to prove himself in more than 2 movies, and I definitely don't think he should be allowed that much power in this movie..
