Movie Monday: Rush Hour 3

Game Industry News

Hey all I’m back with another entry in a Jackie Chan series for this week’s Movie Monday. It’s Rush Hour 3!

Casting: With Tucker and Chan being our main stars I expected better out of this when I first watched it. Looking back Rush Hour 3 was just not great, and even Jackie Chan couldn’t salvage it.

“First Con-tact”–How to Play the Player

Game Industry News
