...Does anyone even want this? Even if we ignore the controversies (like Jackie Chan serving on the CPPCC, Chris Tucker flying to Epstein's island, and Brett Ratner harrassing a dozen women we know about), who actually looks at Rush Hour 3 and waits 18 years for a sequel?

Orange dementia patients want it and if he read what you wrote, he’d want it even more.

He wants a movie with a black man and an Asian man who hates America teaming up to fight corrupt criminals? When the last one got 17% on rotten tomatoes?

Seems like it.

Michelle Yeoh has called him out for being a misogynist who thinks women should stay in the kitchen.

People who are allergic to original ideas.

I've seen a lot of films. A lot. I haven't seen any of the Rush Hour movies. So, no, I do not want a Rush Hour 4. I liked Chris Tucker in The Fifth Element, but that's about it.

For context, Jackie Chan is 71.

The studio will find a way to quietly torpedo this monstrosity. Trump's dementia can't lock onto an idea for more than a week, he'll be saying this was a dumb idea next month.

Wait, Chris Tucker beat his crack habit?

[–] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I thought he was super clean and religious?

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not sure if that's super dry sarcasm or earnest confusion.

I remember reading that he turned down next friday because he didn't want to normalize weed use.

Seems to track for recovery steps, no? Here's hoping. Crack's whack AF.

Remember how the last one ended with the heroes double-punching the paedophile Roman Polanski?
