One of the funniest buddy cop movies indirectly influenced a new era of film appreciation.

The Big Picture 1998 was a fascinating year in popular culture. Furbies were taking over the world, Seinfeld was airing its final season, and Jackie Chan was planting the seeds for what was to become his breakout Hollywood picture, Rush Hour. Chan was already a big star in Asia and in Europe with hits like Drunken Master, Police Story, and Armour of God.

While Tucker was absolutely ecstatic to meet Jackie Chan, they had reservations about a possible working relationship based on their first impressions of each other. Tucker pulled Ratner aside and questioned how the movie was going to work, since Chan didn't really understand much English. Chan, on the other hand, mentioned to Ratner that he likes Chris, but he cannot understand the way he talks. Usually, this would be the genesis of a project's downfall.

A Fan of Jackie Chan Invented Rotten Tomatoes Senh Dong was a big Jackie Chan fan, and was exhilarated to learn of Rush Hour and its nearing release. Excited about the film, he wanted to reinvigorate his fandom by looking for reviews of Chan's work on the internet. Unfortunately, Senh could not find much of them during the summer of 1998, and decided to build a fan page devoted to covering his works and updates on Rush Hour.
