Rush Hour

2024-12-08

Jackie Chan cut his teeth (and every other body part) in Hong Kong kung fu flicks and police stories throughout the 1970s and 80s, but he didn’t achieve Hollywood superstardom until he hitched his wagon to the 1998 action-comedy Rush Hour. Was Chan’s biggest stunt partnering with renegade cop Chris Tucker, and bumbling his way through Los Angeles tourist spots on the road to rescue a kidnapped 11-year-old girl? Find out if their sweet-and-sour chemistry gives the buddy cop formula a new flavor when you Donate for this Platinum Level series.

The Crow (2024)

2024-09-10

Bad boy Bill Skarsgard trades in his clown shoes and blood-filled balloons for face tats and a mullet as he joins the murder of actors who’ve starred as The Crow. The 2024 reboot brings Eric Draven back from the dead to stop Satanist Danny Huston (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) from whispering homicidal enchantments in the ears of impressionable folk like British pop star FKA Twigs. But is director Rupert Sanders’ comic book vision pure enough to survive comparisons to the iconic Brandon Lee original? Find out when you Donate to support Now Playing!
