Martin Scorsese on RUSH HOUR

By the time RUSH HOUR hit theaters in 1998, Jackie Chan was already a legend in the Hong Kong film industry. He directed, acted, stunt coordinated and often sang the theme songs for his films. He was starting to make films in America in the 90's (Mr. Nice Guy, Rumble in the Bronx) but the films were dubbed in English. It took a young NYU film school grad by the name of Brett Ratner to bring the real Jackie Chan to an American audience. Ratner made his first film at the age of 26 (much like Orson Welles when he made Citizen Kane) and wanted to re-team with Tucker for his second feature. While Chan had the physical comedy down, Tucker brought the verbal. Learn how this young director channeled many elements from his past to pull off the first film in a lucrative franchise.

FYI if you set the playback speed to 1.25% it takes the impression to the next level.

[@nikhilsharma4716]

hahahaha !! It's spot on!!

There is no other speed to watch these in now that you pointed that out. So good.

Haha haha your absolutely right

[@gandalf0987]

Yes!!

[@adoneran]

I can't wait for Martin to see this channel.

[@pauldanese]

What're you talking about? He *made* the video! Wait 'til De Niro sees it!

[@OddOneOut665]

I'm sure his Granddaughter will see it first though. XD

[@Hellotherefellowbrowser]

Glad to find this channel before it gets BIG

[@Flushmore]

Here before Martin Scorsese becomes a household name.

[@joshsmith3219]

Dude 5 minutes in this video and i'm like this is actually fucking amazing analisys.

[@1237barca]

It’s great analysis framed in a hilarious parody. Both are perfect.

[@TheSadJamaicanDude]

At first, I thought this was a parody...but now I feel like im watching an alt-universe Marty speak about films that wouldn't be considered Cinema but in reality, they are Cinema

[@mkrcivoj]

This thoughtful film analysis is disguised as parody. Ratner and Kennedy have been punching bags for a long time, but "Marty" showed them some love.

[@bigwillie54]

Man I get the gimmick of the channel and it’s funny but man this was a very informative and interesting piece of content. I’m here pre 1k and I can’t wait to see you grow bro

[@abdool1972]

You skipped over the first ten years of jackie's life - how he grew up living at a Chinese opera school. His auto-biography is an AMAZING read if you ever get a chance.

I thought this was gonna be a meme but pleasantly surprised by the passion

Wow that last part gave me chills

[@ThaninViriyaki]

Insane that I somehow found this channel before it has a thousand subscribers. These videos are so good I thought it was some huge channel already.

[@xtraspecialmango]

Shanghai Noon!?!

[@yeez13]

Brett Ratner’s films “The Family Man” and “Rush Hour” are two turn-of-the-century classics that I’ll never entertain criticisms about…but Scorsese is spittin’ bars here with these great insights about the latter 👍🏽

[@austins.2495]

The Family Man is a fantastic film

[@PodyTheCirate]

Watching the editing and format slowly change and evolve is a blast. I hope you do more dvd menu/special feature demos! A small thing but very fun considering special features and dvd menus today are basically non existent

[@Rosquilliam2]

Glad to say that I was here on the channel before it gets bigger. SUBSCRIBED….really good content.

[@Tester-sh1mn]

Can't wait for Big Momma's house although I prefer Big Momma's house 2, it's the little things (or should I say BIG things) that elevate the second one for me.

[@A0A4ful]

What?- no De Niro as the usher, Harvey Keitel as the projectionist...

[@davadh]

Love the tidbits in this video, amazing work!

[@pkuo23]

Funny and informative! Small correction, the villain with the scar on his face is actually Sang, and Jun Tao ends up being the rich white man 😄 interesting twist and even more connection with Enter the Dragon as the secondary muscle villains both have facial scars (both caused by the damsel in distress)

[@MiissAlexandraMakeup]

Thank you Mr. Scorsese for this insighful take on the incredible film that is Rush Hour.

[@snail4253]

Comparing brett ratner to orson wells is unhinged hahahaha

[@fcmovies]

I'm so glad youtube recommended me this channel. I Love hearing big film makers talk about film!

[@deanekoh1]

Amazing combination of parody and film analysis, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@itsonlyamovieshow]

Loving this series. Great job, Daniel. Just a note for when you eventually cover RUSH HOUR 2, that it aired on Turner Classic Movies, hosted by Robert Osborne and Dr. Peter Feng from the University of Delaware.

[@adamw7411]

22:00 Hey, that is not Scorsese!

[@jewman4]

I wasn’t expecting Martin Scorsese to be such a wonderful host of a beloved classic. Thanks Marty!

[@beector2010]

The early Rattner movie is… jaw dropping and shocking lol. But I mean you can tell it comes from a place of love. A true martial arts, kung fu, and Asian cinema aficionado lol

Building a whole channel around an impression you can barely pull off is a bold choice. Marty would be proud.

[@Tapeleg247]

I like the channel and the review. However, you missed that Juntao is not the Asian guy with the bleached hair, Sang. Juntao was the alias of Tom Wilkinson's character, the white guy. That was the twist in the end.

[@chowmayne2466]

keep up the great work my guy!

[@dylandamn1]

I fkn love these movies so thank you.

[@nak3dxsnake]

Lol I was randomly just thinking of the on foot chase scenes in this movie. Love the dynamic how they both move about the world and are both very capable but Lee obviously is a ninja.

I don't know if the air is like this in Mainland America but in Puerto Rico when they are the TV edit of the first second and third Rush Hour movies it comes with a disclaimer regarding the humor used in the movies.

Brett Rattner is the pinnacle of American cinema in the 00s. Without him, we wouldn't have the reaction of new directors who understood that action scenes need to be more creative. Without Brett, we wouldn't have John Wick.

Why does "Martin Scorsese" sound like Woody Allen? Also, who the hell doesn't like Rush Hour? It's fucking phenomenal.

[@mattiescorsese8021]

Damn the ending is lit. I suppose Money Talks is the film Spielberg funded?

[@dpmaggio]

It was actually a student film called WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO MASON REESE? I believe it is a special feature on the Rush Hour DVD. Interesting fact, the lead actor in the short actually broke his leg while filming and sued NYU. Ratner is no strangers to controversy.
