Jackie Chan is one of the best-known names in kung fu and action films worldwide for his acrobatic fighting style, comic timing, use of improvised weapons and innovative stunts.
An important big step in his actor career is the action comedy genre. The latest movies that got a big impression on his career are the “Rush Hour” series with Chris Tucker.

The Hong Kong star isn't a fan of his successful action comedy franchise. Back in 1998 he only wanted to test the U.S. market and didn't have high hopes.

In a blog, Chan said “when we finished filming, I felt very disappointed because it was a movie I didn't appreciate and I did not like the action scenes involved. I felt the style of action was too Americanized and I didn't understand the American humor.”

"Rush Hour" was Chan's first movie to break $100 million at the U.S. box office, earning $141 million, according to the box office tracking Web site, Box Office Mojo. "Rush Hour 2" made $226 million and "Rush Hour 3" has earned $137 million so far.
Jackie Chan announced that he continued the “Rush Hour” for an "irresistible" amount of money and made the recently released third installment to satisfy fans of the series.
