The buddy cop genre is still flourishing, look no further than the recent success of the 21 Jump Street franchise and award-winning comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Naturally this calls for a TV show remake of Rush Hour.
The show will follow the film’s premise, which starred Jackie Chan as the stern Detective Lee, forced to team up with Chris Tucker, the over-the-top LAPD officer Carter.
The Rush Hour franchise, which began in 1998, went on to make $845 million internationally over the course of three films.
We still can’t shake how terrible the third one was, so a TV show sounds like a bad idea. In the words of “War”, which “Lee” famously sings, “What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.”
