I think part of that may be the scripting of the characters, Phileas and Lau Xing are meant to grow as friends as the film progresses, but I just never got that sense of a developing friendship between the two characters.

Another inventor (Jim Broadbent) challenges him to make the trip, and Phileas agrees. Utilizing a variety of transportation means and Passepartouts martial arts skills, the trio embarks on a globe-spanning adventure. I mentioned TMNT, naturally, Terminator and the Power Rangers. Another thing, or person, that I forgot to mention on that list was Jackie Chan. I was a big Jackie Chan fan when he first burst on the North American scene with Rumble in the Bronx. Actually, Jackie Chan tried twice to break into the U.S market in the 80s, both films were disappointments and didnt use him to the best of his abilities. ![]() Chan when I was a kid. But I still remain a big fan of his work and his dedication to creating some insane as fuck stunts that none of his North American counterparts would ever subject themselves to. I think Chan is the only one I can say that about, as his work stands the test of time and its not even just nostalgia on my part. Look at some of his craziest stunts and tell me that its not amazing to this day. Whereas TMNT or Power Rangers, it was just something I loved at the time but, if I were to look back on it as an adult, Id just be embarrassed to have ever liked them. I cant say the same about the first two Terminator films, those are still some damn good movies. ![]() Say what you will about Mr. Chan, I know Ive said in the past that hes never been a great actor, but I think he was able to get by in the 90s to mid-00s just by his affability and charisma. Everyone knows he cant act, or at least his English is so bad that it makes it difficult to take him seriously as an actor. And, really, Jackie was already slowing down by the time Rush Hour came out, so he had to rely more on his friendly demeanor more than on his physical gifts, since I dont think his stunts in American films ever matched the ones in his Hong Kong films. Part of that is just the fact that his body was already breaking down, but I think it also has to do with the studio wanting to protect the man from himself. This brings us to this film, which tries to replicate that same opposites attract from the Rush Hour franchise and Shanghai NoonKnights, films that brought Jackie his biggest successes. The problem with this here is that Jackie has much better chemistry with both Chris Tucker and Owen Wilson than he does with his partner here, Steve Coogan. Its not that their chemistry is nonexistent, but its certainly a little lacking. Steve Coogan is the best comedic actor between Owen, Tucker and himself, it goes without saying, but I dont think Jackies style mixes all that well with Coogans more deadpan and dry delivery. Thats not to say that they arent entertaining together, because they have their moments.
