I am so proud of having directed a film more than 20 years ago and it’s two sequels that brought black and asian men together as the STARS of a film at a time when mostly white stars were dominating cinema. There were no color lines with #RushHour and in all three films the lead actors were either Black, Asian or Hispanic (Elizabeth Pena, Roselyn Sanchez) We usually tried to make the White characters the Villain! I guess we were ahead of our time..... The world needs another Rush Hour and Hollywood especially needs to continue making films like it with racial pride and diversity in its cast that inspire people to look beyond color and race. Movies are the US’s biggest export of our culture that has held our flag high around the world! Rush Hour for example was number one in almost every country it was released. We should make It our responsibility to continue to create culturally diverse films that will represent this country properly for what it really is; a multi cultural and diverse nation both ethnically and racially. It was unfortunate that Rush Hour was mostly written about in the media and described as a “suprise hit” when it became the biggest grossing box office hit for a comedy in history! Why was it such a suprise? Why was it not expected to be as successful as it was? Was it because it had these two ethnically diverse stars in its cast? It became the underdog that was unstoppable and proof that minorities can open a film and bring hundreds of millions of dollars to the box office without having to be white! I hope that this stereotype in our business continues to change. But it will only happen as long as the studios and streamers continue to support making these types of films with diverse and multi cultural casts that will help to eliminate any prejudices about who can and cannot be successful in the film business. Nothing is impossible. Huge respect to #MikeDeLuca and #BobShaye from #NewLineCinema for their support and belief in allowing me to make the film. G-d bless #JackieChan and #ChrisTucker for being the inspiration for it all to happen. #BlackLivesMatter」6月7日 14時58分
