I think most of Jackie's movies are either bad/extremely average, with a bunch of very good ones that are flawed, and maybe a handfull of pretty damn good movies. Drunken Master 2 is my personal favourite, and Dragons Forever comes as a close 2nd. I feel Jet Li has been in more 'good' movies, with Fist of Legend being my absolute favourite martial arts flick of all time.
Goddamn I wish I had a chocolate croissant
I LOVE chocolate croissants. I remember when I went to Euro Disney the breakfasts were free, so I'd just stack up on chocolate croissants
Never heard the term 'pana' before btw...
About the making fun part in the Rush Hour movies; I thought the jokings were funny, Tucker didnt bother me, and it was pretty good-spirited. Chris made some jokes about chinese traditions and people etc, but with his character being kind of a dumbass anyway, I didnt take it seriously, plus you could tell his character wasnt being racist so he could be mean or feel superiour or whatever, but it was either more playfull, and/or Chris making an ass out of himself. Plus it kinda went both ways.
Lethal Weapon 4 bothered me more, with Gibson, who is playing a cool hero kinda guy, stooping down to 'ching chang chong' and 'flied lice jokes', which werent even funny, just emberrassing...
But it's all a very personal things, issues like these, so our opinions on it will certainly differ...
My chinese friends all liked Rush Hour (1 & 2), and it didnt seem like they took offence to the Chris Tucker jokes. Hell, they very often tried and imitate/quote him
I have no idea how they felt about Lethal Weapon, apart from that they liked Jet Li...
I dont mind making fun of other cultures or people, as long as it's a; FUNNY, and b; not mean-spirited. I can easily make fun of my girlfriends' chinese eyes
or her yellow skincolor. And she can make fun of my hairy white legs...
It's all good-natured. It's like when your friend has just broken his arm and inviting him for a game of basketball, or just throwing something at him :'catch!'
Ofcourse, there are many racist jokes which are hurtfull and demeaning and degrading etc etc, which I would never ever make, or even think about as funny...
But we shouldnt be TOO touchy when it comes to our own cultures, or others... but always respectfull... and good-hearted.
