He said so in an interview for THE TUXEDO on CHUD.COM several years ago.
like Tuxedo was any better.....

not enough though... in the bloopers to this movie where hes saying different lines for the "its only 9.95$!" scene he clearly has no idea what hes saying...lolPlus his English improved noticably since that first film if you ask me.

It was a junket where questions were asked and he answered them.CHUD didn't start posting interviews until the fall of 2004, did they? Are you sure it wasn't some other site? I'm trying to find what he said back then. Maybe he's changed his tune since.
Let's get something straight. I don't hate the franchise as a whole. I mildly enjoy Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2. But let's be honest about something. These are NOT great movies. Or they are not 4 or 5 star movies. At best they are maybe 3 stars. I think parts of them are decent, somewhat fun action movies. But THIS movie was NOT worth waiting six years and all the money it took to make. And all it does is recycle lots of **** from the last two as well as showing a totally bored and pedestrian Chan phoning it in, and a totally one-note Chris Tucker.
It just makes total sense to me that Brett Ratner was the person Tom Rothman gave X-men 3 to. I thank the Deity that we at least got two X-men movies that Ratner had nothing to do with. When Rothman and Arad probably would've loved it even more if Ratner did all three.
1. Yes.
2. I didn't pay 9 bucks.
3. It's my job to see it.
It's ridiculous budget was a little cushioned by the overseas gross.
Rise of the Silver Surfer did not do that well. It totally disappointed and underperformed.
And my prediction is that it will make even less than that movie, unless the overseas gross is really fantastic, which I don't see happening.
My predictions are based directly upon what I've been reading on the movie from sources such as The Wall Street Journal. The costs for the movie are almost un-Godly, and it's not just the production budget.
Initially, I heard a paycheck around $25 million for Tucker as well. But hey, New Line gave it to him.
It was a junket where questions were asked and he answered them.
And I clearly remember an interview on the site with Stephen Sommers for VAN HELSING in May '04. So they've been posting interviews since before than.
LOL I'm the exact opposite I hate the Shanghai films LOL....and Tuxedo suxHey, I found the interview finally via the Internet Archive.
Here's the link. Coding isn't fully translated, but it's all readable.
He seems frustrated, but simultaneously apologetic about the fact that he didn't like the first two Rush Hour scripts when he read them. His main frustration seems to be that he A) doesn't understand why the dialogue is supposed to be funny because it's too American, and B) thinks his Hong Kong films are superior in regards to action and comedy, because of his "Chinese mind." He doesn't really seem to HATE the movies, although he does say that was his first reaction to reading the scripts. He just says he has no idea why they're funny. But then, Jackie is A) extremely rooted in Chinese culture and B) very physical comedy-oriented over dialogue. Which is probably why he got so frustrated with how much time was spent on dialogue versus the time spent on his action scenes in those movies.
Much like his critics, however, he seems to prefer the Shangai films. Damn, I really need to see those. Although he also hints at having the same problem on those movies. He basically feels that whatever Owen Wilson or Chris Tucker tells him is funny in America, he'll do, because he has no freakin' idea.
I also find it hilarious that he basically disses on The Tuxedo TWICE during the junket for that very movie! I can't really tell if he dislikes it or doesn't expect America to like it. Or maybe he's just generally pessimistic about his films. Truthfully, never saw that one either.
Why is there no "0" option?
because no movie deserves a 0. much less a 1 or 2. comon...theres a difference between not liking a movie, and saying its worth nothing. no movie deserves a 0, 1, or 2...well...maybe a 2.
More than anything he hates the racist tinge of the dialogue he has to speak in the movies.Hey, I found the interview finally via the Internet Archive.
