Don’t make things up that aren‘t like that just because you love the movies. I mean yes i love the film aswell but it doesn‘t seem like jackie sees chris as a really good friend.. he likes him because they made history. If the movies wouldn‘t be as succesful he would not even look at his black ass no more.. this dude jackie just likes him for beeing in time for the set 😂😂😂

facts

[@Wanderersea]

I immediately came to this video after I watched Chris Tucker's interview on the George Lopez show and it compliments each other so well. What Chris Tucker said in that interview directly coincide with what Jackie Chan said in this video. I think they're such good friends that they don't ever conflict and lie about what they're saying about each other. The part about 'Showing up late on the set' are confirmed by both Jackie and Chris.

[@MagicianFlip69]

Wanderersea Same here. I really love their friendship, and you can tell their chemistry in the movie is genuine. I don't think they were acting.

Carter could have been played by Eddie Murphy and i think Martin Lawrence . As in...They were considered to play Carter before Chris Tucker ended up in the movie. As for Lee, i dont know if they had other choices for that part. Imagine what it would have been like if either one would have done the movie instead of Chris Tucker

[@SeanKyle461]

thegrimyeaper atleast he didn't mention "Black Man".

[@ChunkierfishReviews]

Yeah because black man is something that is irrelevant. They are both cognizant of the fact that they are both of a different race, thus have different cultural norms/habits. But that does not mean they can't get along and be friends. It just means that they are not feeble minded adults that have to constantly bring up race as the topic of discussion. Everyone can look at you and see that you're black, brown, white, yellow, green, purple, and not have to say it, but recognize cultural differences in a respective manner without having to talk about it and can get along just fine. They don't have to pretend that "race doesn't exist" and all that stupid bullshit that is constantly pushed. Because it does exist, but it does not define who a person is. My best friend in the world is from New Delhi India, I was born in Lexington South Carolina. Yeah later on down the line we have of course talked about each other's country and cultures and etc. But when we met, that was not what mattered. Just that we enjoyed each other's company and we became instant friends. Sadly, people can't get passed the racial bullshit because the only thing anyone ever wants to talk about is... Racial Bullshit.

@@ts-rc9fj He was not aware that the movie he was put in was a comedy and not an action movie. So, he was initially confused when it was done and at the premiere people were laughing at the jokes. I don't believe he hated everything about it, he enjoyed the people behind the scenes. But in terms of movie quality, he felt he was restricted in stunts and the language barrier didn't help.

I remember Chris Tucker once accepted an award by himself for best movie duo or something after the first Rush Hour. He never mentioned Jackie Chan in his acceptance speech and instead promoted a charity. You can definitely get the sense that they didn't actually get along back then. Later on, Jackie has also said that he used to avoid Chris in-between their shooting schedules. But their friendship really developed in the sequels.
