So i just finished watching the latest ep of the Rush Hour TV series and I gotta say, I am REALLY loving it! :D I love the Rush Hour movies, even though I haven't seen them in a while, and I am really glad that they made a TV series out of it! I don't know if it will continue on and have more seasons, but I really hope that it will.
The main thing that I like about it, is the comedy. I think it is so funny and the dynamic of Carter and Lee is so genuinely comical that it just works. My fav character, though, is probably Gerald. He's so funny! I love how he just calls it as he sees it and he's like a big giant teddy bear! His character ain't the smartest, but he's got street smarts and he knows wassup! XD
I also REALLY love how we get another Asian lead character!!!! Like seriously! How many TV shows actually have Asians in lead roles, let alone Asians in any roles. Huh? Honestly off the top of my head, I can only think of Hawaii 5-O (which I also really like *nods in approval*)... though I heard its not renewed for another season? Lemme google dat ish real quick. NAH BRUH!!!! It was renewed for a 7th season! Hallelujah! Praise Jesus! The Lord is good! He is risen indeed, Halleljah! But yeah, I feel like there aren't a lot of Asians on tv and in movies and I'm always like, "what you got against us, huh?" (yes, I'm asian, well half... so it still counts) Anyway, back to Detective Lee, the actor who plays him is actually a stunt dude!!! Which I love because I used to want to be a stuntwoman... although, if the opportunity arose I'd still try it. However, I aint exactly living in prime real estate for that kind of job if you know what I mean. But yeah, I love how the actor, Jon Foo, does his own stunts and actually does legit stuff. Not no whoosy fight scenes where you can tell that either the actor has had no prior fight/martial arts training and/or you can clearly see their stunt double. The only thing I'd say is that he does a little too much jump-kicking. Doing all the fancy air techniques looks fun and cool, but its not usually the most practical in street fighting and self defense.
But aside from that, I'm loving it!!! And I almost forgot to mention Justin Hires as Carter. He is soooooo friggin hilarious! Like, all the jokes and stuff just roll off his tongue like he'd actually say them. And for all I know, he's adlibbing! But I don't know XD All I know is that its super funny!
SO! If you have not already, and you like action/comedy/cop shows, check out the new Rush Hour TV series (you can watch it live or online on CBS, that's what I do since I cant usually catch it live) because I think you will like it! ^_^ Talk to ya later!!!
