Jackie Chan, a global superstar of action cinema and martial arts, classified the “Rush Hour” trilogy in order of preference, tackling the productions that fall asleep on their big bugs.
At 71, Jackie Chan is still in great shape! To promote the release of Karate Kid Legends, he is currently on the world tour with Ralph Macchio and Ben Wang, his two accomplices from the new film in the cult saga. In France, fans will unfortunately have to wait until August 13 to discover it.
During an interview with Buzzfeed, relayed by Varietythe Action Cinema star spoke of his experience on the Rush Hour saga. Invited to classify the trilogy according to his preference order, he first kicked in touch: “I don't know”he said, before developing his response.
Jackie Chan classifies the Rush Hour trilogy
“You know what, the first Rush Hour: Little money, shortly. We turned it like that: Come on, Go, Go, Go! The second : Lots of money, a lot of time. The third : Too much money, too much time. Too much money is useless “said the actor, director and coordinator of waterfalls.
For the first Rush Hour: Little money, little time. We turned it like that: Come on, Go, Go, Go! The second: Lots of money, a lot of time. The third: Too much money, too much time. Too much money is useless.
This sibylline and malignant answer gives us the classification of the Rush Hour for Jackie Chan. The first is his favorite, turned with limited means, thus requiring more creativity and speed.
After the success of the first film, shooting the second episode was more comfortable, but the artist has always been more comfortable on more modest shootings, the Hollywood machinery does not really suit him; Rush Hour 2 therefore takes second place in his heart.

“Too much money is useless”
As for Rush Hour 3, Jackie Chan place it in the last position because the huge means made available to the Brett Ratner director did not help make a better film. This is why he says that “Too much money is useless”implying that this puts out creativity in this kind of production.
Spectators will not be mistaken, this 3rd opus being the least rated from the Saga on Allociné with 2.2 out of 5. In addition, Chan's assessment on the Rush Hour trilogy perfectly concons with the critical and commercial success of each film.
The first part, Chan's favorite film, benefited from a budget of $ 35 million and garnered 244 million international green tickets in 1998. The 2001 suite, shot for $ 90 million, has garnered 347 million world revenues.
But the third episode of 2007 experienced a sudden fall with 258 million dollars harvested despite a substantial budget of 140 million. In full, the trilogy still reported $ 849 million worldwide between 1998 and 2007.
