10 Sequels To Incredible Movies Nobody Asked For
10. Rush Hour Sequels
1998's Rush Hour is one of the most iconic comedies ever made, featuring all of the ingredients that make a great blockbuster. This includes a hilariously mismatched duo on an ill-fated mission to save the kidnapped daughter of a Chinese Diplomat. Starring Jackie Chan as Inspector Lee and Chris Tucker as Inspector James Carter, Rush Hour was a huge success and grossed over $244 million at the box office.
The ending of the film is perfect, as after against all odds along with lots of laughs, the pair rescue the kidnapped girl. The final scene is Lee and Carter boarding a plane to go on holiday.
Three years after its release Rush Hour 2 hit cinemas seemingly following on exactly where the first left off. Unfortunately Rush Hour 2 was a direct retread of all of the same jokes and stereotypes of the original. This left fans and critics at the time disappointed, who saw it as a poor attempt to recapture the magic of Rush Hour.
Rush Hour then received yet another sequel in 2007, which was an even worse re-telling of the original story with the jokes being even more tired and repetitive the third time round. This meant that both unnecessary sequels damaged the impact and greatness of the first movie.
