I think that says it all.

I wonder if Chris Tucker might say the same or not...

Of course he'd say it like this if he did...

"I worked on this fishlackalaka for damniz forevers, that Brett Ratner is a crazy mofo, he don't know funny... but motherfucker, I get my paycheck I do whatever and then Jackie get me all that Asian pussy... yo...what up?"

He's not alone.

You worked on Rush Hour 3 for four months? Cool! Get me Jackie's autograph!

I always figured he was just doing the Hollywood stuff for the money. It showed.

God love him, at least he's honest.

totally unrelated to your post...while flipping through a magazine at work today, I came across this

and naturally thought of you.

He's being remarkably honest.

I can sum it up rather easily. I enjoyed Rush Hour 3 at any time when:

• they were not attempting to do any kind of humor, and
• Chris Tucker was either not on screen or just standing in the background.

As a straightforward action film it might have worked with two plot tweaks (I could elaborate, but they're spoilery). As an action/comedy it was hopeless from the start because they cast Jackie Chan as the straight man and Chris Tucker is (in my opinion) not even slightly funny.
