The first film “Rush Hour”, directed by Brett Ratner, was released in 1998. The video also featured Chris Tucker. In the film, when Mr. Chan plays Hong Kong police Detective Inspector Lee, Mr. Tucker plays Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Detective James Carter.
Speaking at the event, Mr Chan recounted his experience saying yes to his first film in Hollywood. According to Complex, he admitted that although “Rush Hour” is now considered a beloved classic, he was surprised by its business and success. “I got a phone call. [Director] Brett Ratner and Chris Tucker were calling me from New York. They are crazy. We were at $70 million in the first weekend,” he recalls. “For me, I can’t count,” he added.
In addition, Mr. Chan also talked about his first movie as a runner for Bruce Lee, who he said he loved on the set of “Fist of Fury” and often had to work part-time so that he could have time additional costs for production. The actor also told the audience that 2022 is his 60th anniversary in the film industry.
