    Remember how the last one ended with the heroes double-punching the paedophile Roman Polanski?

    …Does anyone even want this? Even if we ignore the controversies (like Jackie Chan serving on the CPPCC, Chris Tucker flying to Epstein’s island, and Brett Ratner harrassing a dozen women we know about), who actually looks at Rush Hour 3 and waits 18 years for a sequel?

      I’ve seen a lot of films. A lot. I haven’t seen any of the Rush Hour movies. So, no, I do not want a Rush Hour 4. I liked Chris Tucker in The Fifth Element, but that’s about it.

    Jackie Chan has denounced America and sided with the Chinese dictatorship, can’t trust or support him for anything.

    In tje good timeline he probably suffered worse injuries when he fell out of that tree.

          I’m sure it was better for white liberals. but everyone who isn’t a fascist probably didn’t have as glowing a review of it as you do.

            I guarantee you the people facing the brunt of the consequences of the Trump admin aren’t the “white liberals”. It would be trans people, manufacturing job workers, immigrants, and people of color.

      What a weird thing to draw a line in the sand about. Denouncing America doesn’t sound like a crazy thing; it’s run by a cultist rapist.

        1. It wasnt when he started denouncing it.

        2. its where he lived a lot of his life and made most of his money.

        3. China is just worse in every single way on every topic

        Part of me thinks they’re holding his family and citizenship hostage, but thats not likely to change anytime soon.

          China is objectively better in almost every regard and by almost any metric. All other first world nations are better than the US in every metric. The United States only leads the rest of the world in number of incarcerated people.

          It doesn’t even lead in freedom and democracy, which is supposed to be its thing.

            China is better at being a dictatorship, better at harming democracies around the world, better at funding terrorism and coups, murdering dissidents, cracking down on protests, destroying culture and history, military aggression and border expansion, running illegal organ trades, encroaching on habitats of animals capable of spreading pandemic level plagues, selling aforementioned animals in wet markets, etc.

              the United States has literally run a government funded school to teach right-wing authoritarians from Latin America how to do most of the things you just mentioned since 1946.

                I retract nothing, no matter how bad you can make the USA look by scrounging through centuries of documents, China is far worse now.

                  Centuries? The School of the Americas is open today, under the Trump admin, just as it was under the Biden admin. I don’t have to dig into history at all to discuss the varied atrocities the US is currently responsible for. This isn’t just history, it’s current affairs.

                  The United States never has been the beacon of democracy and human rights it claims to be. And it sure as fuck was never the greatest country in the world. It’s an authoritarian cesspit run by corporations and fueled by the destruction of the environment and repression of smaller nations. There are dozens of countries that are better in any metric than the US, and China is the least of them. Even the UK does better than the US on every metric, including personal freedoms and right to privacy, and they’ve been run by a conservative government for decades.
