Reflecting on his experience filmingRush Hourwith Tucker, Jackie Chan revealed that the stand-up comedian was a bit difficult to work with. Tucker’s rapid-fire Atlanta-style English posed a significant challenge for Chan, who was still learning the language. Furthermore, thePolice Storyactor revealed that Tucker’s tendency to change his lines between takes often left him struggling to keep up. Chan said:
“No fun… Filming with him terrible. Every scene, every dialogue different. You know… you know my English. Something like ‘um where are you going’ and I say ‘Okay, that’s my turn’. Then second take. Different dialogue. None of them same. Ten takes, ten different dialogues. Chris Tucker, I don’t understand. He just keeps talking.”
