You can thank stuntman turned director Hal Needham (Smokey and the Bandit) for this trend. He invented it and used it on The Cannonball Run in 1981 where Jackie was co-starring in and since then he liked it so much, he uses it in all his films and it is contractually required of him by the Japanese market.
The thing about Jackie is that he actually does the stunts. He doesn't rely on camera angles or CGI. The man actually has the skill and the perseverence to get it done, and the out-takes are a great tribute to that. He (and others) sometimes get hurt to entertain us, but he accepts that cost. What a legend.
He's been doing it for a while too ! One of his favourite story is when they were filming Enter the Dragon in 1973, he was an extra who was suppose to be fake kicked by Bruce Lee but he actually kick him by mistake...Bruce was super sorry and he was kinda faking being hurt just to talk to him and he actually got a great conversation with him after it...Been in movies for a long time !
@@jean-philippedoyon9904 I heard that Jackie learned how to move and fight when he was a little boy. But he had a rough childhood, so it makes it even greater.
Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker was a great comedy duo for the whole trilogy. another great comedy duo with Jackie Chan was Owen Wilson in Shanghai Noon, a western trilogy.
History Lesson: Japan is a big financial supporter of Jackie Chan's movies. One of their contractual obligations with him is that he always includes bloopers at the end of his movies. This was something that first started thanks to Hal Needham, stuntman turned director who did Smokey and the Bandit, who first used "credit footage" in his credits in 'Hooper' with Burt Reynolds in 1978. Then in 1980, he included actual bloopers with Smokey and the Bandit II. It was so popular, he used it again in 1981 in The Cannonball Run where Jackie Chan made one of his first Hollywood debuts thanks to his parent company Golden Harvest producing the film. The outtakes were such a highlight, Jackie decided to use it on his next Hong Kong directed project, and since then, the Japanese market have requested it be in all his films released there.
What's really unbelievable about Jackie Chans performance in this movie is, is that it's not even his peak level of stunts and action. The stuff he did in a lot of his older Hong Kong movies is even more crazy. And it's all "handmade", no stunt-doubles, no CGI, no green screen, nothing of all the stuff they use excessively these days to make action scenes that turn out half as good as his stuff.
@@lexkanyima2195 Yes, it was an attempt to put his name on the map in Hollywood, that was looking for "the next Bruce Lee". Maybe I got the definition wrong, but to me, a "comeback" implies that someone was very successful, than had a period where the career dropped before getting big again. That doesn't apply to Jackie Chans career at all. He had a successful career way before 1980 in Asia and continued to do so even internationally during all that time, just not with movies produced in the US. And you could even argue his breakthrough of an US-production was Rumble in the Bronx a few years before Rush Hour.
I just want to say that I really enjoy that simple intro that you two do! "Hey everyone. Welcome back to the channel. My name is TBR Schmitt, and this is my wife Samantha, " 😄 Combined with the humor between you two during your watches, that intro always makes me smile and settles me into a nice watch. Great stuff 💙
Chelsea Carter from the bloopers made me laugh way too hard when I was a kid. I was learning basic politics in school or I wouldn't have known the clinton either tbh lol
I had no idea who the hell Chelsea Clinton was when I first saw this movie, hell I didn’t know who she was until maybe 10 years after the movie came out, but the way he delivered the line still made me laugh.
There's an interview with Chris where one of the questions was how was his experience working with Jackie. Chris had nothing but high praise and respect for Jackie in his recollection, but the part I remember the most was Chris saying Jackie's work ethics pushed him to be a better actor and person during the shoots. Chris said that Jackie would arrive on set in the early morning even if he wasn't needed on set at the time, he supposedly scolded (in a not so serious way) Chris for not being on set and ready on time, and how Jackie respectfully treated everyone involved in the production and not acted like a Hollywood diva. Also, apparently, the Director being a big fan of Jackie wanted him to handle the action and stunt co-ordination whilst the Director handled everything else. If this is true, then that's a smart Director, you have Jackie Chan available why wouldn't you want him to consult at the very least.
Drunken Master 2 on a VHS tape was my introduction to Jackie and to date still ranks up at the top - his stunt work was near perfection and Anita Mui as his mom is my fave movie mom ever.
That's one of my all-time favorites as well! I think Jackie was around 40 years old when that was made, dude was moving like he was 20. Fantastic stunts and fights.
Excellent reaction guys! This is definitely one of my favorite action comedies of all time. Jackie and Chris are gold together, haha. Also, on the main poster for the film it reads, "The fastest hands in the east, meets the biggest mouth in the west", lol.... That is basically the entire film in a nutshell, haha. Always loved that promo :)
Samantha: "He was like, liquid." Believe it or not, that is the greatest compliment you can give to a Chinese fighter. And I'm sure Jackie would be honored to hear you say that.
There's so many Jackie fight sequences to recommend but one that comes to mind now is the step ladder scene in First Strike. I remember watching it at the cinema and being mesmerized.
Great reaction! My dad loved watching Jackie Chan movies when I was growing up. One we both liked that I never hear anyone ever talk about is called Gorgeous.
4:09 - "Man stop it, I got C4 in the trunk!" Fun fact: C4 is actually really stable. You could shoot it, hit it with a hammer, hold a blowtorch to it, even _microwave it_ and it won't detonate. And it's as malleable as modeling clay. That insensitivity is precisely why we use it as a plastic explosive - very versatile and controlled detonation criteria. Also, I haven't seen this movie in a LONG time. I didn't previously recognize that it was so casually racist with all that dialogue 😮!!
Police story, project A, rumble in the bronx are all great, but armour of god 1 and 2 are still my favourite jackie film, but there many other great films
Also, I had forgotten all the actors in this movie since I haven't seen it in forever. Relationships to movies like "Cliffhanger", "Shawshank Redemption", "The Perfect Storm", "The Sum Of All Fears", "Kiss The Girls" and "Reservoir Dogs". All good movies for any you two haven't seen. A good cop movie set in the Asian community is "Year Of The Dragon" with Micky Rourke. It's a definite watch recommendation.
Veeeeerrrry little known piece of trivia the GNAAARLY old taxi driver is a bonafide martial arts legend “judo” Gene LeBell who had storied careers in martial arts of various disciplines. Professional wrestling, stunt work and acting. He’s done stunt work in over 1000 films and tv shows, including the green hornet with Bruce Lee. During which he became close friends and training partners with Lee.
It says something that the most unbelievable thing in this movie was that a car blew up from having C-4 in the trunk explode when shot. LOL C-4 is very stable and will not go off from being shot, burned or electrocuted. It takes a blasting cap to set it off. The stunt work is always nuts in Jackie Chan movies.
@@Easy_Skanking At least this movie stuck to its own rules: “this big a hunk” of C4 blew up the car, “that big a hunk” of C4 blew up that floor; therefore the amount on Sooyang’s vest WILL kill Juntao if he set it off inside the room. Plus, tweaking C4 to be easily detonated by regular small arms, makes it consistent why nobody dared to shoot around it in the end battle.
@@davidw.2791 Yeah, I hate when movies start changing their own rules around. At least they should be consistent in the outrageous fantasies. LOL From what I remember, there aren't too many illusion breaking moments in Jackie Chan movies. They are just consistent fun.
My favorite thing to come from this franchise is the enemies to best friends that Jackie and Chris did irl. Neither liked each other when they started filming this movie and what not from what I've heard Jackie thought Chris was too lackadaisical and Chris more or less thought the opposite of Jackie. He thought he was too serious, didn't know how to have fun. By the end you can clearly see the friendship between them
You need a life if you watched that movie over 80 times guybut hey, I’m rooting for ya, go outside and dig a hole or something and get out your moms basement
I love Jackie Chan! He has done so many amazing stunts and fightscenes during his career and i hope you watch more of his movies. I prefeer his Hong Kong movies but the Hollywood movies is also great
In case it was not evident in context: In one of the bloopers, where Jackie Chan flubbed the Chinese line “I believe Juntao is behind all this” into “I believe Sooyang is behind all this.” Credit to Chris Tucker for evidently understanding what the flubbed line means, cuz as y’all saw, he walked over to the Consular and demanded to know WHAT THE HELL’S GOING ON WITH YOUR DAUGHTER?!😂
You two should definitely check out some more Jackie Chan movies. I recommend both the Police Story series (especially 1 and 3) and Drunken Master 2 (the first one is not required but may assist in understanding a few things). Be sure to also watch Rush Hour 2. It's probably (at least in my opinion) the best of the trilogy.
Love you two! And a belated congrats on the upcoming new edition to the channel lol! In a few short years you'll be reacting to Paw Patrol, Octonauts, and Wild Kratt videos so before that I hope you get a chance to watch The Americans, Succession, and The Pacific - would love to see those on the playlist
Wow!!!! Beyond glad you’ve reacted to one of my all time favourite action (or action-comedy) flicks - Rush Hour!!!! That was where I was introduced to the history surrounding Britain and Hong Kong - a topic that I’ve further researched and can I say that if Hong Kong stayed under the British, I’d give anything to live my life in Hong Kong instead of being heavily detained and dehumanised by the Hong Kong police (thanks to the current influence and harsh actions of dictator Xi Jinping)? Chris Tucker is also awesome in Fifth Element, Friday, Jackie Brown and Silver Linings Playbook. If I were to give Tucker a role it’ll have to be Herman Schultz/Shocker in an Andrew Garfield Spider-Man flick. He can play any character without having to pretend to be Detective Carter or Ruby Rhod (Jackie Brown being an example). As for Jackie Chan, he did an amazing conspiracy action thriller called The Foreigner - I highly recommend it 💯 & zillion, he can also be serious AF without being goofy yet still doing physically demanding shit.
Two Chris Tucker movies you should see is "Friday" and "The Fifth Element". He is not the main character in either but he is one of the best parts of both.
Do you know the one involving a stash of diamonds, and in the end Chris Tucker revealed that he had stolen a single diamond and made it into his new ear stud?
The US produced Jackie Chan movies usually feel like watered down Chan compared to his Hong Kong films. The only US films of his I really like are Shanghai Noon and its sequel Shanghai Knights. For Chan at his best try Armour of God, Armour of God 2: Operation Condor, Project A (his tribute to silent comedians), Wheels on Meals, Drunken Master 2 (his best pure martial arts film), and his Police Story movies.
unfortunately, jackie was already out of his prime when he made this film (the fact that he's still amazing is a testament to his talent). if you ever want to go down the jackie chan rabbit hole, may i suggest 'Police Story 3: Supercop' (sometimes just called 'Supercop' in certain markets). it's a standalone story and is a perfect 'gateway drug' lol to jackie's movies. what's particularly special about this movie is the fact that Michelle Yeoh ("Everything Everywhere All At Once" fame) co-stars and they're both forces of nature. of course you can start watching the Police Story movies in sequence, but 3 is a great way to test the waters...
Loved your reactions to this great film. Might I recommend the Burt Reynolds movie Cannonball Run, as it features Jackie Chan's first venture into American cinema.
I really want someone to react to that. I only saw it once, with my grandpa, but I remember enjoying it. SPOILER I'm not sure that it's a spoiler that there are bloopers at the end of "Cannonball Run," but just in case people don't know and want a surprise, I figured I'd hide it. Didn't "Cannonball Run" having bloopers start Jackie Chan on including them in his own movies?
Recommended Chris Tucker Movies: Friday, The Fifth Element, Money Talks, Dead Presidents Recommended Jackie Chan Movies: Police Story, Supercop, Rumble in the Bronx, Drunken Master 2, Wheels on Meals, Who am I.
I thought you had reacted to The Fifth Element, which Chris Tucker is in. But a quick search on your channel did not bring it up. If you haven't seen it, you should and I hope you do lol
When Sam expressed excitement to explore Jackie Chan films I let out an audible "Let's GO!". After Rush Hour, I think the best suited for you would be his Police Force series which is as follows. -"Police Story" -"Police Story II" -"Super Cop" -"First Strike" After that, some of his other classics would be really fun, such as "Drunken Mater 2" or "Operation Condor".
Also the one in 1988 called Miracle something, the one where he is a benign mob boss and he ends up pulling ALL of the strings to Maintain A Fairy Tale for someone he owed his Good Luck to.
8:46 Grew up on Jackie Chan. You should do a collection of his films. Couple older kung fu ones my favorite is probably "The Fearless Hyena" gets confused with "Drunken Master" my favorite more modern one maybe is one of his police story films there's like 4 of them
His best work was in the 1980s, in his prime, he set the bar for action films for decades to come. By the time he finally 'broke into' the American market he already entering his 40's.
21:17 I wondered about that too, Samantha! I guess it’s a rare acknowledgement that cash is heavy, and so that when Blondie comes in, he’ll take some time to cram some cash for himself, which gave Carter the precious time to also come in.
Jackie Chan doesn't actually know Kung Fu, he trained at the Chinese Opera (basically, circus acrobatics and stunts like Cique De Solei) This is where he met life long friend Sammo Hung, who actually stared in a lot of Jackie's movies. Hung also Directed a lot too.
He knows Kung Fu, the term simply means mastery over something. Kung Fu is in everything we do. If you think he hasn't mastered anything, you're dead wrong.
Jackie Chan is well known for doing his own stunts in his movies (if you manage to get through the trilogy I recommend watching Shanghai noon and Shanghai knights as well as rumble in the Bronx)
If you enjoy Jackie Chan with Chris Tucker. Then you’ll enjoy Jackie Chan teaming up with Owen Wilson in “Shanghai Noon” (2000) and “Shanghai Knights” (2003). Jackie Chan also teams up with Jennifer Love Hewitt in “The Tuxedo” (2002).
14:35 Lots of Chinese people consider a baby to be (almost) a year old at birth (a version of “Life begins at conception” if u will), that’s why Sooyang can be considered 11 years old.
A bunch of people have already mentioned Rumble in the Bronx, and I'm with them - gotta get that on your list. That pool table fight you really liked is a callback to an even better one in that film. I've also mentioned 48 Hours before in the buddy cop film category - and it's a different take on it that makes it worth watching. Fun as always thx!
2:15 I don’t know his name, but he’s been in a lot of other Brett Ratner movies, including Red Dragon (he’s one of the FBI analysts) and X-Men: Last Stand (he’s the “porcupine” mutant).
I saw the third one in theatres August 2007. The theater was filled also. I remember the dialogue couldn’t be heard in some parts cos the audience laughing so hard
@@ivanivez7456 Yeah I remember in Aug '01 during "Rush Hour 2", some lady (annoyingly) laughing at *ANY* word Chris Tucker said. Thankfully she quickly stopped but I remember being worried it was gonna ruin the movie.
@@mikesmoviereviews she stopped? or... she was stopped? :O I'm just messing. :) Have a good day! And yeah I saw the first two Rush Hours in the cinema. Not the third one. Was in a rough place at that time and didn't have monies for cinema and such. :O
@@carn9507 I think her girlfriend told her shut up. She was behind me. I should eventually review these two movies on my channel soon. I think Rush Hour 4 is in the early planning stages.
Hi Daniel & Samatha!🙂Samantha, I hope you are doing well with your pregnancy!🙏🏽The Rush Hour films are all enjoyable. The outakes at the end of each film are a lot of fun. "Rush Hour 4" has been gaining some traction recently, and we'll probably see it in a few years. Great reactions to your first Rush Hour film, Samantha!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Another vote for Police Story. Rush Hour is actually pretty tame stunt-wise. Well, for Jackie Chan. He had to deal with a lot of red tape and wasn't allowed to do everything he really wanted to. Plus, he was in his mid-40s during the filming. Police Story has peak 30-year-old Jackie going balls to the wall with no safety precautions holding him back. It's even crazier than it sounds.
Jackie convinced Chris to do a lot of his stunts himself. I love this film and the bloopers at the end are the icing on the cake 😊
You can thank stuntman turned director Hal Needham (Smokey and the Bandit) for this trend. He invented it and used it on The Cannonball Run in 1981 where Jackie was co-starring in and since then he liked it so much, he uses it in all his films and it is contractually required of him by the Japanese market.
Chris ended up doing all his stunts.
@@TonyPrince-gd3vohow ?
Rumble in the Bronx is a great Jackie Chan movie.
The thing about Jackie is that he actually does the stunts. He doesn't rely on camera angles or CGI. The man actually has the skill and the perseverence to get it done, and the out-takes are a great tribute to that. He (and others) sometimes get hurt to entertain us, but he accepts that cost. What a legend.
He's been doing it for a while too ! One of his favourite story is when they were filming Enter the Dragon in 1973, he was an extra who was suppose to be fake kicked by Bruce Lee but he actually kick him by mistake...Bruce was super sorry and he was kinda faking being hurt just to talk to him and he actually got a great conversation with him after it...Been in movies for a long time !

Chris Tucker is also awesome in Fifth Element, Friday, Jackie Brown and Silver Linings Playbook. If I were to give Tucker a role it’ll have to be Herman Schultz/Shocker in an Andrew Garfield Spider-Man flick. He can play any character without having to pretend to be Detective Carter or Ruby Rhod (Jackie Brown being an example).
As for Jackie Chan, he did an amazing conspiracy action thriller called The Foreigner - I highly recommend it 💯 & zillion, he can also be serious AF without being goofy yet still doing physically demanding shit.
Fun Fact: The old cab driver is Gene Lebell he's a Judo legend that has a big history with Bruce Lee himself
classics! I've seen these so many times! glad you guys are watching a funny one
I think "Supercop" and "Jackie Chan's First Strike" are probably Jackie Chan's best. And with "Supercop", you also get Michelle Yeoh!
Two Chris Tucker movies you should see is "Friday" and "The Fifth Element". He is not the main character in either but he is one of the best parts of both.
Do you know the one involving a stash of diamonds, and in the end Chris Tucker revealed that he had stolen a single diamond and made it into his new ear stud?

- “DAZED AND CONFUSED” - (1993) 😎🔥
One of the greatest trilogies in movie history
"Everything Jackie does is impressive."
The bloopers have entered the chat...
One could argue those are impressively funny lol.
The US produced Jackie Chan movies usually feel like watered down Chan compared to his Hong Kong films. The only US films of his I really like are Shanghai Noon and its sequel Shanghai Knights. For Chan at his best try Armour of God, Armour of God 2: Operation Condor, Project A (his tribute to silent comedians), Wheels on Meals, Drunken Master 2 (his best pure martial arts film), and his Police Story movies.
unfortunately, jackie was already out of his prime when he made this film (the fact that he's still amazing is a testament to his talent). if you ever want to go down the jackie chan rabbit hole, may i suggest 'Police Story 3: Supercop' (sometimes just called 'Supercop' in certain markets). it's a standalone story and is a perfect 'gateway drug' lol to jackie's movies. what's particularly special about this movie is the fact that Michelle Yeoh ("Everything Everywhere All At Once" fame) co-stars and they're both forces of nature. of course you can start watching the Police Story movies in sequence, but 3 is a great way to test the waters...
Another common element of Jackie Chan movies is a blooper reel at the end of the movie
Loved your reactions to this great film.
Might I recommend the Burt Reynolds movie Cannonball Run, as it features Jackie Chan's first venture into American cinema.
Its not a very good movie but it was a part of Jackie's original attempt at American movies in the early 80s.
I really want someone to react to that. I only saw it once, with my grandpa, but I remember enjoying it.
SPOILER
I'm not sure that it's a spoiler that there are bloopers at the end of "Cannonball Run," but just in case people don't know and want a surprise, I figured I'd hide it. Didn't "Cannonball Run" having bloopers start Jackie Chan on including them in his own movies?
Incorrect. Jackie's first Hollywood film was The Big Brawl/Battle Creek Brawl in 1980.
If you want to see PEAK Jackie with fight scenes you need to see Police Story 1&2, Armour Of God and Dragons Forever
Another brilliant trilogy - ALL 3 are great!
Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
Beverly Hills cop 2 (1987)
I love "Who am I" with Jackie chan. Would definitely recommend it
My favourite!
same
Recommended Chris Tucker Movies: Friday, The Fifth Element, Money Talks, Dead Presidents
Recommended Jackie Chan Movies: Police Story, Supercop, Rumble in the Bronx, Drunken Master 2, Wheels on Meals, Who am I.
Tom Cruise is an actor that does his own stunts.
Jackie Chan is a stuntman that does his own acting.
I thought you had reacted to The Fifth Element, which Chris Tucker is in. But a quick search on your channel did not bring it up. If you haven't seen it, you should and I hope you do lol
If you've seen The Fifth Element then you've seen Chris Tucker before.
When Sam expressed excitement to explore Jackie Chan films I let out an audible "Let's GO!".
After Rush Hour, I think the best suited for you would be his Police Force series which is as follows.
-"Police Story"
-"Police Story II"
-"Super Cop"
-"First Strike"
After that, some of his other classics would be really fun, such as "Drunken Mater 2" or "Operation Condor".
Also the one in 1988 called Miracle something, the one where he is a benign mob boss and he ends up pulling ALL of the strings to Maintain A Fairy Tale for someone he owed his Good Luck to.
@@davidw.2791 Great suggestion. I think it is just called "Miracles". Awesome stunts in that.
@@76063co2 I never checked the official English name but yeah in Chinese it was called “Miracle”.
@@76063co2 Last line: “You’re welcome back any time!” and his underlings and hot nightclub star et al almost murdered him for it. 🤣
Stakeout (1987)
The earliest movie I know of to have a blooper reel during the end credits is Cannonball Run, starring Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise.
Ive always loved Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights for its Jackie Chan/Owen Wilson team up. Definitely worth a watch!
Yeah knights is a really good one!
8:46 Grew up on Jackie Chan. You should do a collection of his films. Couple older kung fu ones my favorite is probably "The Fearless Hyena" gets confused with "Drunken Master" my favorite more modern one maybe is one of his police story films there's like 4 of them
Jackie Chan: “I dont want trouble” *then proceeds to beat everyones ass*
No choice
Chris Tucker was also in Jackie Brown. Glad to see him back on the channel.
His best work was in the 1980s, in his prime, he set the bar for action films for decades to come. By the time he finally 'broke into' the American market he already entering his 40's.
21:17 I wondered about that too, Samantha!
I guess it’s a rare acknowledgement that cash is heavy, and so that when Blondie comes in, he’ll take some time to cram some cash for himself, which gave Carter the precious time to also come in.
Alien Nation (1988)
Jackie Chan's Karate Kid remake is underrated. I love his character in that film. Might as well get into it since you're all done with Cobra Kai
Jackie Chan doesn't actually know Kung Fu, he trained at the Chinese Opera (basically, circus acrobatics and stunts like Cique De Solei) This is where he met life long friend Sammo Hung, who actually stared in a lot of Jackie's movies. Hung also Directed a lot too.
He knows Kung Fu, the term simply means mastery over something. Kung Fu is in everything we do. If you think he hasn't mastered anything, you're dead wrong.
@@drafezard7315
Nope. He said it himself. You call him a liar?
Sounds like you've been drinking the bong water.
@@rightwired Bruh, you're so ignorant you don't understand what Kung Fu actually means.
Jackie Chan is well known for doing his own stunts in his movies (if you manage to get through the trilogy I recommend watching Shanghai noon and Shanghai knights as well as rumble in the Bronx)
It is a great gateway to other jackie movies, because if you started with his 80'-mid 90' works, you can only go downhill😂
If you enjoy Jackie Chan with Chris Tucker. Then you’ll enjoy Jackie Chan teaming up with Owen Wilson in “Shanghai Noon” (2000) and “Shanghai Knights” (2003). Jackie Chan also teams up with Jennifer Love Hewitt in “The Tuxedo” (2002).
uno mass
The Tuxedo is a colossal piece of shit. Why would you recommend that over something like Police Story or Drunken Master II? 😆
@@LeviBoldock Thank you for the recommendation. I’ll add them to my list.
4:29 jinx!
14:35 Lots of Chinese people consider a baby to be (almost) a year old at birth (a version of “Life begins at conception” if u will), that’s why Sooyang can be considered 11 years old.
A bunch of people have already mentioned Rumble in the Bronx, and I'm with them - gotta get that on your list. That pool table fight you really liked is a callback to an even better one in that film. I've also mentioned 48 Hours before in the buddy cop film category - and it's a different take on it that makes it worth watching. Fun as always thx!
Chris Tucker was in Jackie Brown. That’s the movie you know him from.
Jackie Chan has an insanely long list of movies but Chris Tucker has been in barely anything. It’s a shame really cause the dude is hilarious.
2:15 I don’t know his name, but he’s been in a lot of other Brett Ratner movies, including Red Dragon (he’s one of the FBI analysts) and X-Men: Last Stand (he’s the “porcupine” mutant).
"It's G14 classified."
I saw this and the second one in theaters. So much fun to watch with an audience. Chris Tucker is great. Jackie Chan is legendary.
I saw the second and third in theaters. I remember in August 2001 when seeing Rush Hour 2, the theater was FILLED.
I saw the third one in theatres August 2007. The theater was filled also. I remember the dialogue couldn’t be heard in some parts cos the audience laughing so hard
@@ivanivez7456 Yeah I remember in Aug '01 during "Rush Hour 2", some lady (annoyingly) laughing at *ANY* word Chris Tucker said. Thankfully she quickly stopped but I remember being worried it was gonna ruin the movie.
@@mikesmoviereviews she stopped? or... she was stopped? :O
I'm just messing. :) Have a good day! And yeah I saw the first two Rush Hours in the cinema. Not the third one. Was in a rough place at that time and didn't have monies for cinema and such. :O
@@carn9507 I think her girlfriend told her shut up. She was behind me. I should eventually review these two movies on my channel soon. I think Rush Hour 4 is in the early planning stages.
*Jackie Chan kicking ass*
“Please I don’t want no trouble :)”
😂
Police Story 1,2,3 is the place to start. After those, you'll watch anything he's done.
I used to start my computer up in college with the audio of the cigaweed scene 😂
"Wipe yourself off man.. you dead" 🤣
The prisoner who told them the location of Juntao was Chris Penn, the late brother of Sean.
Hi Daniel & Samatha!🙂Samantha, I hope you are doing well with your pregnancy!🙏🏽The Rush Hour films are all enjoyable. The outakes at the end of each film are a lot of fun. "Rush Hour 4" has been gaining some traction recently, and we'll probably see it in a few years. Great reactions to your first Rush Hour film, Samantha!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The Trailer for Rush Hour 2 is probably my favorite trailer of all time.
Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, have the best buddy cop chemistry..
11:02
Oh hey its the guy who owns Mesa Verde on Better Call Saul lol
If you get a chance watch Armour of God with Jackie
Another vote for Police Story. Rush Hour is actually pretty tame stunt-wise. Well, for Jackie Chan. He had to deal with a lot of red tape and wasn't allowed to do everything he really wanted to. Plus, he was in his mid-40s during the filming. Police Story has peak 30-year-old Jackie going balls to the wall with no safety precautions holding him back. It's even crazier than it sounds.
rush hour 2 is one of my all time favorites!
“That’s Ricky Tan?? That’s a midget in a bathrobe!!” 🤣🤣 Great movie!
Rewatching 2 again recently, I forgot just how good that movie was, up there with the first
Nice to see Blast From the Past made it on the poll at least. Hopefully you guys get to it someday!
Hey that old man cab driver was Gene LaBell (RIP) judo expert/stuntman/Ronda Rousey’s uncle…lil’ trivia
1:30 - Chris Tucker is in "Jackie Brown"
