Jackie Chan is a global superstar, Rush Hour cemented his position in Hollywood. However, Chan was not exactly hopeful of the movie's prospects.

The movie was a huge success in North America and Chan soon developed a cult following amongst the American audience.

Chan was unsure if Rush Hour would do well

According to Chan, “I got a phone call. Brett Ratner and Chris Tucker call me from New York. They’re crazy." [{ "selector": ".ejlnx-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 518px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

“We were $70 million in the first weekend,” said Tucker and Ranter.

Chan was so surprised he couldn’t even fathom the number. “For me, I don’t know how to count,” said the martial arts icon. The movie went on to make $244 million worldwide.
