Movies: Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2

Jackie Chan was the first Chinese actor to make it big in Hollywood. His Rush Hour films were typical Chan fare — action and humor. I enjoy catching a Chan film anytime, and it is especially a tradition for us to watch Jackie Chan during Chinese New Year. If I don’t see one of his movies at the cinema at that time, it’s pretty much a sure bet I’ll catch one on TV during the holidays.

The Rush Hour movies were, for me, pretty fun to watch. I enjoyed Chan’s performance, as always, and liked the play on the cultural differences. And, seems to me, just about anyone would get a laugh out of them.

I’ve not seen every Jackie Chan movie — it would take forever to do that, I think — but I’ve seen a fair share. The Rush Hour movies were typical… a fun watch, if not exactly deep stuff.
