Jackie Chan blames Chris Tucker for delay Chan Says Tucker Holding Up 'Rush Hour 3'
By The Associated Press Sun Jul 10, 3:27 AM Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan smiles as he ... HONG KONG - Jackie Chan says the third installment of "Rush Hour" is stuck in neutral because co-star Chris Tucker is making too many demands. "He wants too much power. The movie company hasn't obliged. He wants final editing rights and the final look at the movie and so on," Chan told The Associated Press Thursday. Chan called Tucker a "good friend" but questioned whether he had the stature to be so demanding. "He's still a new actor," Chan, 51, said. "How many movies has he made? Two movies have already made him very famous and made him a lot of money." "He needs to learn slowly," he added. A call by The Associated Press to Tucker's publicist, Samantha Mast, wasn't returned Friday. While "Rush Hour 3" remains in limbo, Chan said he's going ahead with another project - one with famed Chinese director Zhang Yimou. Zhang's recent films include "House of Flying Daggers" and "Hero." Chan declined to reveal details of the movie, saying only that it would be "galvanizing" and is set in the 1980s. He said the idea is his, but Zhang will work on the script. "He relies on imagination ... like an arrow flying through water," said Chan. "He has elevated the martial arts genre. I believe he can make any type of movie now." I've never seen Jackie Chan this mad before in my life!! I hope he doesn't try to gutt punch Chris next time he sees him... I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

Uh, someone tell Jackie that he hasn't had any real hits in the states EXCEPT THE RUSH HOUR SERIES WITH CHRIS TUCKER. Someone also tell Jackie that Tucker made it big in Friday and Money Talks as well as Jackie Brown and Dead Presidents.

Jackie needs to check himself. Fast. Actually, if it's Tucker making these huge-ass demands, he needs to check himself, not Jackie. Tucker hasn't done anything in the past 5 years besides the two Rush Hour flicks. | |

Jackie needs to check himself. Fast. Chris Tucker is the one that is helping him to make money. Basically, Chris wants make sure that the production company not fucking w/his money and I can't blame. Shit, he is what made the damn Rush Hour Series the money maker that it is period. | |

Who cares about his American films? Jackie has made a gazillion movies over a few decades and is one of the most well-established stars in the world. I think he's entitled to make these kinds of statements. Hell, Average Joe on the street would be entitled to make these kinds of statements since they're perfectly valid regardless of who's making them. Final editing rights? Sheesh, Tucker's ego is out of control. He's even forgotten that he's an actor. | |

Biggest American films, yes, but I think there's more to Jackie Chan than the US films he's doing in the twighlight of his career for a little bit of extra money. That's where the money is, of course, though not so much the art. Some people here act like US cinema is all that matters. Chris Tucker is, thus far, a c-list actor at best. | |

Apparently the U.S. is your whole world so you won't understand what I'm saying to you even if you tried. And did you even read the second half of my post? Didn't think so. | |

Money isn't everything, but then, I guess these days it is. I sure as hell don't judge a film by how much money it makes though. | |

My bad, the U.S. knows nothing about filmmaking, what was I thinking? Hollywood is in the Ukraine. LOL! So again, what does the U.S. have to do with Jackie Chan shutting his trap and keeping the beef and his comments in-house? And do I really care about the 2nd half of your post? Did it mean anything special to the topic? Nope. All I said was that Jackie needs to keep his comments to himself because Jackie has very few hit films in the U.S. when he's NOT doing Rush Hour. But hey, if you want to pump up China's film scene, knock yourself out. Hi-eee-Yah! "But what of black women? . . .

I sure as hell don't judge a film by how much money it makes though. Damn straight he makes 20 bills a film, trust me. And most of Chan's hits are in the China film culture, not Hollywood. BIG difference. Also, this isn't about who has more experience, it's about Jackie shutting up to the press about Tucker. Keep shit like that in the kitchen and not in the living room.
