MilkTea 🧋 is on hols but our lovely Alliance community 🫶🏼 are helming our IG, presenting their very own A to Z 🔤 of ESEA cinema. Each post is created by a member of our community. Enjoy… R is for Rush Hour by James Mills “Rush Hour” (1998), is one of the most iconic action-comedy films in modern cinema. Before “Rush Hour,” Asian actors, were often marginalised in Hollywood. They were frequently cast in stereotypical roles—often as villains, waiters, martial artists without depth, or side characters without substantial story arcs. Jackie Chan, already a massive star in Asia with his unique blend of comedy and martial arts, had attempted to break into Hollywood earlier but met limited success. “Rush Hour” changed this trajectory, offering Chan a role that utilised his martial arts expertise while allowing him to display his comedic timing and charisma. The film’s success demonstrated that non-White actors could lead a blockbuster, resonate with global audiences and could be profitable, thereby helping to pave the way for future projects that would further diversify the industry. Chan’s success also inspired a new generation of Asian actors and filmmakers, contributing to a slow but steady increase in Asian visibility and representation in global cinema. Whilst recent discourse around its legacy is varied, due to the film heavily playing on the cultural differences between Lee and Carter for comedic effect, which sometimes leads to the reinforcement of racial stereotypes, Rush Hour remains a groundbreaking film that left a lasting impact on East and Southeast Asian cinema. James Mills is an actor and producer based in Manchester, York and London. His recent credits include acting and producing “The Fly”, a short thriller set in London’s Chinatown, playing the gangster “Sang”, as well as playing Pirate Lord “Kwok Po Dai”, the antagonist of the Emmy Award Nominated and Tribeca Festival winning game, “The Pirate Queen”.
