Jackie Chan Baffled by America’s Insatiable Hunger for Jackie Chan Movies
“I really don’t know what the American audience is thinking, just like when I finished Rush Hour 1, I thought ‘Oh my career is finished … the movie is terrible. I don’t know the culture or what they are going to say, like “the action is horrible,â€â€™ and it was actually a big success in America. Then came Rush Hour 2, Shanghai Noon, and Shanghai Knights and I still don’t understand, you know?†—Jackie Chan [Ain’t It Cool]

But they’re super, super V.V.V.I.P. clubs in the backs of crazy, old, abandoned warehouses. And we’d drink these liquid-gold cocktails. It was amazing. Just like you’d picture.†—Amy Poehler on Baby Mama after hours with Tina Fey [TV Guide]
