Jackie Chan Banned!
The highly popular Chinese star has seen his current film banned in China. Rush Hour 3 just opened, but the Chinese will not be seeing it. There is a scene in the film in which an organized crime family visits Paris. Of course, I am not talking the Sopranos here, but the Chinese organized crime family known as the Triads. This angered Chinese authorities, but the Film Bureau insists that is not the reason for the ban. They say they are blocking the release of the film for another reason. Apparently, only twenty foreign films can be released in China each year and the officials feel that Rush Hour 3 just won’t be that successful, despite the fact that the first two in the Rush Hour franchise were box office hits.
