Reacting to RUSH HOUR (1998) | Movie Reaction

[@mikec6096]

The bloopers are one of the greatest parts of a Jackie Chan movie and one of the reasons he's one of my favourite actors. In the final version of his films you see when it all goes to plan, the flawless moves that are almost superhuman, but, he's also not afraid to show when it doesn't go to plan. The amount of broken bones, concussions, accidents he has but still powers through to finish make him one of the true greats.

[@HonRevPTB]

ABSOLUTELY, and he's had many an injury over the years and many very gruesome ones, but he still moves forward, true artist!!!!!!!

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Jump from a high-rise into spinning helicopter rotors? Sure! Piece of cake.

[@pmontyjaaaymes488]

Yeah man. Thats what i love about Jackie movies as well. Lole Rumble im the Bronx and Jackie Chans First Strike. He really took a beating in those movies.

[@pmontyjaaaymes488]

Yea man. Like Rumble In The Bronx and Jackie Chans First Strike. He really took a beating in those.

[@joniroxanne96]

Because of these movies, I thought *every comedy movie* has them... Odd how *LEGO NinjaGo* didn't...

[@XenoTheProducer]

The chemistry between Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan is absolute perfection. I revisit these movies a lot because they still manage to make me howl with laughter every time, plus the action just adds the cherry on top. I also feel the need to add that seeing how much Dawn is enjoying the film is fckn class! 👍

[@ownwecuff4770]

He grew up in a Chinese circus. Also, he's been seriously injured many times when his stunts went wrong. I've been watching him since the early '90s, long before his first US movie. My Korean friends introduced me to his Chinese movies. Even without understanding a word of the dialogue, just watching him was enough entertainment to keep me rivetted.

[@KaiMax_23]

He used to be a porn star as well. Multi talented.

I loved Elizabeth Peña in this. Sadly she succumbed to alcoholism and died of cirrhosis of the liver in 2013 at the age of 55. She also voiced Mirage in _The Incredibles_ (2004.)

The fact that Jackie Chan didn’t die by the end of the 90s is a miracle. The stunts he did, get injured doing, and then get back up and keep going… He’s superhuman.

[@xNemesiSxPR]

one of the best part of his movies was seen the stunts at the end credits.

[@zbennalley]

My favorite story is that during FBI sequence, the American actors that have no background in fighting didn't want to op out for stunt doubles because they wanted to share the screen with Jackie Chan. Because of this Jackie spent time with all the actors to make sure they did everything safely he may hurt himself, but he trys to protect every other person on set.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

About the time this movie came out, Jackie Chan had a reputation as an action hero who did all his own stunts. About the same time, he was also in a movie called _Shanghai Noon,_ in which he costarred with an actor named Owen Wilson. Now I once owned that movie on DVD, and I once watched it with the commentary track on, and that track didn't just have the director (Tom Dey), but also Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson, and Wilson shared with us this aspiration he had to be known as the actor who does _none_ of his own stunts.

[@Deegee_1969]

That's Jackie Chans usual film credits thing... outtakes. His earlier martial arts films show him also getting injured. Jackie Chan is also blacklisted by insurance companys because of him doing his own stunts. And because he does his own stunts, he's broken almost every bone in his body. And... he took inspiration for his comedy from Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Gene Kelly, and Harold Lloyd.

[@edkrause7848]

Jackie got the idea of outtakes from his first American film "Cannonball Run".

[@MrGBH]

One thing Jackie Chan has said in interviews is that whenever he's doing a fight scene where someone would logically have a gun, he makes sure it's clear that the gun will beat any kung fu style if it's used.

[@danseneres7846]

JC's parents basically gave him to a Peking opera school when he was a minor and he studied martial arts, acrobatics, acting, etc everyday, day in and out for years and eventually worked his way into kung fu films in the 70's. It took several trys for the USA to 'discover' him, but when they did...the rest is history; It's a fascinating story.

[@kenpatton8761]

Yes the actor with the bomb was in Pale Rider. His name is Chris Penn (Sean Penn‘s brother). He died in Jan 2006 of heart disease. He was only 40 years old. He also played the sheriff in the movie ‚To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar“. Cheers

I loved him in Reservoir Dogs, too. “If you beat this cop long enough, he’ll tell you he started the fuckin’ Chicago Fire and that don’t necessarily make it fuckin’ so…” Hahaha

10:31 Korean-American comedian Henry Cho mentioned a time he introduced his father to a woman, and when the woman started talking really slowly and really loudly to his father, his father turned to Henry and asked (in English) "What is she doing?" and Henry replied "She thinks she's speaking Korean."

[@Caseytify]

Jackie Chan's first US roles were in Burt Reynolds' Cannonball Run 1 & 2. He enjoyed the bloopers at the end so much he decided to include them in his own movies. The snake, the mantis, tiger are all forms of kung-fu. Chan also teamed up for two movies with Owen Wilson, set in the 1870s US west. Shanghai Nights & Shanghai Noon.

[@michaelhoward6663]

Jackie, who's name is actually Chan Kong San, which means "born in Hong Kong Chan", started training when he was 7. He was enrolled in the Peking Opera School for 10 years. He learned kung fu, several styles, singing, dancing, acting, acrobatics and stage directions. He couldn't read or write until his late teens. He's been acting for over 50 years. He has always done his own stunts, and has been injured several times and almost died doing a stunt for a movie called Armour of God. There are a couple more Rush Hour movies. All fun. If you can find them, Jackie's older movies are amazing. On to the next one!!

[@woeshaling6421]

You can see how Jackie and the hong kong stunt teams have inspired the subculture of parkour/free running. Jackie started his career as a stuntman and altho he does a lot of fight scenes, stunts are his specialty. And little known fact is that he has several music albums

[@jmurray2018]

He’s been in comedy since childhood. (1962) He became more comedic in the 80’s with movies like city hunter, meals on wheels, lucky stars, operation condo, project A . So on if you want to watch the classic Chan era watch all those movies. He was/is a stuntman and stunt director and appeared in Bruce Lee movies. He famously has hooked up with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, and the three of them later became known as the Three Brothers or Three Dragons. He has also done serious roles like police story. He got world wide recognition in the cannonball movies and tried and failed to break the US market with The Big Brawl but in he finally broke the US in the 90’s with Rumble in the Bronx. It was 98 Rush hour that shot him on his way towards his Hollywood star and he’s been helping out a Kung fu panda ever since. That’s the briefest run down I can give you of somebody I own every movie, tv series and cartoons of . I even have his PlayStation game. After this I seriously recommend you watch the karate kid remake. It shows a more serious side to Jackie. Hope that helps

[@Dano_in_Texas]

5:17 Fun Fact: C-4 cannot be detonated by a gunshot or by dropping it onto a hard surface. It does not explode when set on fire or exposed to microwaves. Detonation can ONLY be initiated only by a shockwave...such as when a detonator inserted into it is fired.

I just figured he set off the detonators and they set off the C4, since they were both in the car trunks, but in the end, who really cares?

Artistic license is taken, more often than not, in movies. Filmmakers are of the assumption that the audience isn't as savvy as they are.

You're forgetting one thing, C-4 can also be generated by expected gross sales. There's a direct link between big explosions & sales. With large expected gross sales over-riding the need for detonators & the laws of physics.

This is one of those movies that you can watch any time no matter how many times you've already seen it. It's one of the best action comedies...ever. This is one of those movies I put right up with 'The Mummy' because it's so much fun. Well, actually I think I'll change that. I'll put this up there with 'The Mummy' and 'The Mummy Returns' as well as adding...'Rush Hour 2'. That movie is actually better than the first in my opinion. The chemistry is better, the humor is funnier, and there's more action/stunts. I cannot wait for you to watch that because I know we will all hear "Best movie ever".

[@mikehenderson631]

Thank you for watching this one cause. I haven't seen this one in about at least 5 or 7 years

[@shoddyworkmanship4934]

Jackie Chan was adopted into a Peking Opera school (Chinese performance arts) when he was 5. There he learned gymnastics, martial arts, singing, etc until he was 18. His best movie is Drunken Master 2. Most of his best movies are Chinese, (relatively) low budget, and mostly focus on martial arts. Rush Hour 2 is a good follow up to this movie, but the third is pretty bad. I've seen most of his movies, and I think his best are: Drunken Master II (1994), Police Story III: Supercop (1992), Armour of God 2: Operation Condor (1991), Police Story (1985), Wheels on Meals (1984), Project A (1983), & Drunken Master (1978). Be aware that his Chinese movies were not shot with sound, and so the original soundtracks are technically Mandarin or Cantonese dubs. Many of these movies were re-released in America with English dubs, but they were also edited and replaced the music with new scores and sound effects. Generally the original soundtrack is preferred.

[@Eldormain9]

I've always been impartial to "Ginormous" as a reference to Big. A combo of Gigantic and Enormous. Jackie Chan is really fun. He has a lot of B Films be he is in some Epics, too. Cheers.

Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights are also worthy of a look (Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson). As for Jackie Chan's films before he made it big in America, Rumble In The Bronx, Police Story, Project A, Who Am I, Drunken Master (1 and 2) for starters.

[@andrewsawyer1375]

The 2nd one is just as good if not better. If you want some good Jackie Chan movies, Who Am I, First Strike, Mr Nice Guy, Rumble in The Bronx are worth seeing. He does all his own stunts & there are bloopers & how he cherograph them. You aren't too fat either Dawn btw.

[@LordVolkov]

👍 Jackie's 'fighting round the world' period is one of my faves. He spends the 90s on almost permanent vacation filming and recuperating in exotic locations like Australia and Africa. Super Cop and Operation Condor are also great.

[@craignellist7277]

Another fun Jackie Chan “buddy cop” like movie is Shanghai Noon.

[@jimspetdragons3737]

Though Chan started cout w/ Bruce Lee w/ his films, he made his mark in the genre w/ more comedic martial arts films of his own brand. He 1st appeared in American films w/ an all-star cast in the first Cannonball Run (1981) movie (smaller role) (also featuring Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Roger Moore, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, & Frank Sinatra (among others). Fun movie. Chan started doing end-credit bloopers/outtakes after this movie.

[@KreshDraven6]

The chemistry between these two is incredible. Second one is pretty good too but the third one is by far the funniest imo, Chris Tuck is unhinged in that one
