The Rush Hour Trilogy
Rush Hour is a 1998 martial arts/buddy cop film starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. The film was generally successful, becoming the 7th top grossing film of 1998, with a gross of over $140 million dollars at the box office.
soooo, with Jackie Chan, representing martial arts in Hollywood with a comical and action paced movie, its easy to see why modern audiences love watching him amongst the genre.Yet what has this got to do with my Hypothesis and what im researching. "MARTIAL ARTS".
Jackie Chan is an icon as a chinese actor as well as an american actor. His skills are shown in many Hollywood movies which are comical, yet it has been said that his work is not as impressive as it was in the orient. Well all that i can say is that Jackie amongst various legends has brought martial arts and that genre out of its shell,yet asian martial arts actors, producers,choreogrophers or stuntmen/women will always be in a movie that has to do with kung fu, martial arts.
