Secret Service was originally a branch of law enforcement that worked with the Department of Treasury and was concerned strictly with US currency manipulation and counterfeiting, which is a function they still do perform to this day, with the presidential protection being one of their "side-gigs" actually.

@@LuckySmurf Yeah I understand its almost impossible to respond to every comment even the good ones, especially when you have a large subscriber fan base. Some comments probably aren't always worth the time responding to. For me if a youtube reactor responds that's nice if they don't, I'm fine with that too.
As I heard the story, Abraham Lincoln created the Secret Service as an anti-counterfeiting task force, and the next day he decided to go see a play. And their mission statement changed slightly after that.
"He ain't gonna be in Rush Hour 3" is one of my favorite phrases to use when random things go wrong in real life. My favorite line from the movie is when Jackie says he'll slap Chris back to Africa. Most reactors don't include the line, but it's the best because Lee finally gives Carter some of his own racially tinged medicine. I have a feeling that Chris Tucker told him to say that and that makes it even funnier. 😂
I pretty much use that when I see a villain in a movie dying a horrible death. Just change it up for certain movies like, "Damn! He ain't gonna be in Demolition Man 2!"
same LOL me and my friends always just quote movies to each other - we probably did that more than having actual conversations lol. this one was always used when someone got fucked up (drunk) or fucked up (injured).
Jackie and Chris became super good friends after the first Rush Hour and were spending a lot of time together between filming this movie. It might just explain why Chris was unable to keep from calling him by his real name instead of Lee on set.
I've actually heard several actors say something similar in interviews - working with friends, this happens a lot. When it's someone you haven't worked with a lot / don't know well, you just try to think of them as the character, but the better you know them 'outside' of the filming, the more often you accidentally say their real name.
"Damn! He ain't gonna be in Rush Hour 3!" is still the best blooper line of all time. Fun Fact: Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker became such good friends making the first film that Jackie Chan convinced Chris Tucker to do his own stunts. He was on The Tonight Show saying he has no idea how he let Jackie Chan convince him, but next thing he knows he is climbing bamboo and hanging from it, so that is all him in that scene and he buffed up as well. Also, Don Cheadle agreed to do this movie only if he got to fight Jackie Chan and speak Chinese.
Actually they've both stated in interviews that their relationship during the first one wasn't great at first but it grew into good friendship the more time they spent together
"The Foreigner" was released in 2017 stars an older Jackie - believe me, he does not hesisitae throwing his body around in that. Well worth checking out!
It's an alright movie, with less Jackie action for obvious reasons, but as an Irish person, it would have been many times better if it was made and released 20-30 years ago.
I can't get over the fact that, out of all the movies that came out after "Taken" that tried to do a similar thing, the one that actually takes place in Northern Ireland, where Liam Neeson is from, stars... Jackie Chan.
@@Johnny_SockoIt's interesting that Pierce Brosnan is pretty far removed from the Hong Kong film scene, but has shared the screen with two of the biggest HK stars.
The one person that prevented this series from becoming even better was Brett Ratner. He had no problem letting Chris Tucker go off but he always held Jackie Chan back when it comes to the action sequences b/c he said that Americans don't like long fight scenes, and that's why he thinks JC's movies hadn't been as successful in the US prior to RH. Mind you, he made that claim in the early 2000s after The Matrix (choreographed by Yuen Woo-ping) had already proven him wrong, and Quentin Tarantino was in the process of making Kill Bill (also involving Woo-ping). BTW, the line at 15:35 was apparently improvised.
@@aerthreepwood8021 Oh, I was blaming him before it became cool. It always irked me that his name became famous enough to be referenced in certain shows & movies when it was clearly the chemistry between Jackie & Chris that carried this franchise. Hence, even the bloopers were very memorable.
@@yaqubebased1961 Even then, they rarely allowed Hong Kong talents to be truly in control of the productions, especially in terms of time. Generally resulting in inferior action.
@@DerekHartley Best part about Shanghai Knights was that it introduced me to Donnie Yen (Technically Blade 2, but I dunno if he even got a line in that)
The Corridor Crew YT channel had one of Jackie Chan's stunt performers react to some classic Jackie stunts and the climactic zip line into a loop de loop was about as real as it gets. Performed by 2 stunt men subbing in for both Chan and Tucker. They started on the 16th story of the building, they zip lined down 8 stories and then a quick release on the cable sent them swinging down from 80 feet high. Surprisingly, not the free fall or the swing, but in fact the loop over the pole was described as the most dangerous part. Because they were relying purely on physics and luck to swing them 360 degrees over the pole without crashing into each other or the pole. Prior to shooting, tests using dummies and sandbags had failed. They did the stunt in 1 take and that was what's in the movie.
FUN FACT: not a lot people know these, but the zipline scene near the end of the movie, were actually stunt doubles for Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, they even won an award for that stunt.
@@nortski78 the ending stunts are usually done by stuntman not jackie. They usually involve him (the stunt guy) falling or making a grand fall. Every Frame a Painting explains it well how the movie earns the moment, but like you said, no way they are gonna let Jackie do a 4 story cable jump. Let Tom Cruise's crazy ass do that lol.
@@Eidlones that's also true, back in the day, American movie trailers for jackie's movies exaggerated his introduction, that he does all of his stunts, so now people thought jackie does all of his stunts.
The actress playing Molina has always reminded me of a Hispanic Sandra Bullock. Seriously they look like they could be sisters, and the hotel scene is still one of my favorites when I was young, for many reasons haha
I was already kind of in love with Roselyn Sanchez from a TV series she did, but this movie was the perfect role for her. Just like Ziyi Zhang, she was a trained dancer whose skills naturally translated into fight choreography. I really wish she had become a much bigger star.
The US Secret Service's first purpose was to deal with counterfeiters and was part of the Department of the Treasury. They took on the role of the President's bodyguards later.
Yep, the Secret Service would work on that case. They were a part of the Treasury Department until 2003 (now DHS), and were originally founded in 1865 specifically to combat counterfeiting. They became high-level government security for Presidents, Vice Presidents, candidates for those positions, all of their extended families, foreign VIPs, and anyone else the President directs them to protect, in 1901, but still primarily safeguard the US' financial and payment systems.
I absolutely love that Chris Tucker was so into making these after the first that he even worked out and trained so he could do more. You can tell he's put on muscle between the first and second film. By contrast, I was disappointed that Owen Wilson apparently wanted to have less to do with the action scenes in Shanghai Knights. Also, that sudden Ernie Reyes Jr! I wish there was more of him in cinema.
That last zip-line stunt with the swing around the pole was as real as can be. I think that it was a one off stunt that needed to be executed perfectly, and they got it in the one. The Corridor Crew had a member of Jackie Chan's Stunt Team come in and he explained the scene.
Not gonna lie I took no offense then or now at Lee’s bitch slap you back to Africa line..it was so funny because of how unexpected it was for Jackie Chan to say yet given Lee’s closeness to Carter it seemed like an appropriate response knowing he probably rubbed off on him at that point in their relationship 😂😂 you almost couldn’t see him saying anything else back atp
1:56 "There's something so chaotically lovely about all those overhanging signs" Yes there is, I think what makes it so enjoyable is that, aside from the sheer visual variety, it's a streetscape that literally speaks to you. A semiotically rich environment, as it were.
You know, it would be really fun to have you react to some of Jackies other films like Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, Fist of the Drunken Masker, and particularly The Legend of the Drunken Master. George can provide context and mock the translations.
The last time I sung karaoke, I was in Calgary. My wife and I went to watch our team play in Edmonton and Calgary. I made a bet with the bartender in Calgary before the game, and since my team lost, as part of paying off the bet, I had to lead the bar in the singing of "O, Canada'. One of the most fun moments I've ever had. 🤣
5:25 If you think Jackie Chan's movies will remind you of how out-of-shape you are, try watching a Tony Jaa movie like Ong-Bak or Protector...Tony is basically Thailand's Jackie Chan, and his agility and stamina in his stunt work is insane.
This film was one of my earliest watching experiences growing up. I remember my dad and stepmom rented this from the video store on DVD, we all sat down and watched it as one big family even if I was a wee lad who didn’t get some of the jokes. So I will still have a warm feeling towards this flick compared to the first one. Not to mention the “he ain’t gonna be in Rush Hour 3” blooper has always stuck with me to this day.
Aww they had to cut one of my favorite line reads from Jackie. "I'll bitch slap you back to Africa." Just hearing Jackie saying that always gets me no matter how many times i hear it 😂
I watched a behind the scenes of this movie once, and they said most of the Chinese cast didn't speak any English, I think that makes it an even more interesting movie. I don't know how many times I've seen this movie over the years, but this was a hilarious reaction, and as always, an interesting commentary on the Chinese languages spoken in the movie.
The swinging around the pole at 25:25 was 100% real. It was an 80ft drop and they actually tested it with sandbags a lot before they did it for real. The pole was made to rotate after the wrap around was done.
(Secret Service handles all counterfeit bills in the US. I used to work at a bank. We got a bunch of counterfeit 100’s & secret service agents came. They didn’t f around. Like…at all. All business)
In Rush Hour 3, Carter actually does successfully say "Gefilte Fish" which had me and my wife crying with laughter when we first saw it in the theatre. We were the only ones laughing at that line.
the swing around the pole at the end was the toughest stunt they ever pulled off in this movie. watch the behind the scenes filming of these stunts. it took so many tries to get the full swing.
I worked in banking for 12 years and whenever we get a counterfeit bill, we do all of our procedural paperwork and then send it to Secret Service, because that’s who oversees counterfeits. It blew my mind the first time, cuz I never would’ve guessed, lol
I was in Madison Square Gardens in 2001 at a MJ concert and Chris Tucker got up on stage and danced with MJ to the song from Rush Hour 2. It was so funny!
20:20 Vegas casinos are a lot of fun for people who don't gamble. They have movie theaters, bowling alleys, arcades, bars, nigh clubs, shows, museums etc
"calm down" is one of those things said by people who fundamentally don't grasp what not being calm means. They think a nervous system reaction is like, an emotional choice that you're making to "be upset", and that if you just think of it differently you can stop choosing to be upset, when in reality you need to feel safe and would be better served with anxiety techniques. Your nervous system thinks anything stripping you of context connection or control is danger (the 3C's it also seeks to regain for that sense of safety), so *ordering* someone to do something *unrelated* to their problem thereby proving *you don't understand* what's going on sets the entire system into overdrive and provokes fight/flight directly. It's literally the worst thing you could say, you are seeing someone triggered and then *intentionally triggering them*.
I remember watching this in theaters with my father & we bust out laughing so hard at the "Got Damn! He ain't gonna be in Rush Hour 3" bloopers part 😂😂😂
"There's nothing like a Jackie Chan movie to remind you of how out of shape you are." Did you really have to say that while I'm sitting here eating pizza rolls?
*The Strip is an odd city. The particular fake sky here is in the Forum Shops mall of Caesars palace. Outside of the Strip it’s basically like any west coast desert suburb
The swinging action scene in the lwst was done for real by Andy lee..he is a part of jackies crew..that action was explained in a Corridor crew episode feat. Andy lee
I really love giving my commentary with movies. For example, this one: Carter: What's that light in yo mouth? (Carter looks over at the detonator) Aww man, this can't be good. Me: Ya think?!
I lived there for a while and yes Hong Kong has many areas where forest ends right where the building starts. That's because only 10% of Hong Kong land is constructible, because of land incline :)
Casino's are cool as long as you remember why you're there. You're basically paying for the thrill and entertainment, not for a chance to win big, because that's never going to happen. And most casinos in Vegas know this so they'll treat you like a special guest, with all the bells and whistles, as long as you have the right amount of cash to burn. So I don't have anything against the people who gamble at casinos as long as they come in with their own fund that they are prepared to burn. Essentially, they're just paying for fun, much like people who go to Disneyland or the movies. It's just the scale that's different. Gambling addicts are a different discussion altogether.
My favorite little quirk that most people miss is when Carter says “his” yacht is named the SS Minnow Johnson. Basically calling out the actual owner of the boat as compensating by naming it the “Little D!€k”
Yes, the secret service would definitely work on a counterfeit case, part of their duties. Moreover the story she told about the Intaglio printing press is actually real.
The Secret Service was founded in 1865 to suppress counterfeit money, and it still spends a lot of time investigating counterfeit money. The Secret Service has primary jurisdiction to investigate financial crimes, which include counterfeiting. Law enforcement agencies, banks, and cash processors submit suspected counterfeit currency to the Secret Service.
Fun fact, they did indeed do that twirly wrap around the poll thingy stunt. There's a RUclips video with one of the stunt guys who actually performed it.
Casino's are sad. I remember being in Vegas at the Las Vegas Open for warhammer. Walking the floor to head to the hall at 8:30, playing 9 hours of 40k and then walking out and seeing the same people still gambling.
Imagine the people walking by the Open seeing you. They leave eight hours later and still see you sitting there playing Warhammer, thinking how sad. Gaming addiction is gaming addiction. 🤷♂️
For Simone’s benefit, much of the New Territories is still forested because most of the developments in the Hong Kong special region is in Hong Long Island and Kowloon. Britain didn’t even really start many developments in the New Territories until the 60s and 70s. Just some feedback, I would really appreciate it if the channel reacted to more Chinese film. I noticed Simone tuned out when George was geeking out over the cast. And I just think if she watched more she would get George even alittle more. (I’ve been in the position where I geeked out to see Donnie Yen and Jonah Wen in “Rogue One,” and no one I knew really cared. I remember it made me feel a little lonely at the time.)
For context. Secret Service do investigate and pursue counterfeit currency. If memory serves, it stems from cival war era, where there was so many different currencies that fraud was on the rise.
Jackie Chan did a serious film called the Foreigner and it didn't have any of the absurd stunt work but he still played an excellent role and the fight scenes are still Jackie Chan levels of awesome. Highly recommend it.

4:11 "Toto is what we ate last night!" Toto is the dog in The Wizard of Oz. Yes they ate a dog.
For a bit of Jackie's dramatics - The Foreigner, with Pierce Brosnan
I worked in banking for 12 years and whenever we get a counterfeit bill, we do all of our procedural paperwork and then send it to Secret Service, because that’s who oversees counterfeits. It blew my mind the first time, cuz I never would’ve guessed, lol
First one's still the best for me, but 2 is still such a fun sequel. 3... eh it's okay.
"What if he had a stuffy nose?" - Literally how one of the characters in the novel 'Dream Park' dies. Gagged, and his sinuses plug up.
I was in Madison Square Gardens in 2001 at a MJ concert and Chris Tucker got up on stage and danced with MJ to the song from Rush Hour 2. It was so funny!
20:20 Vegas casinos are a lot of fun for people who don't gamble. They have movie theaters, bowling alleys, arcades, bars, nigh clubs, shows, museums etc
"calm down" is one of those things said by people who fundamentally don't grasp what not being calm means. They think a nervous system reaction is like, an emotional choice that you're making to "be upset", and that if you just think of it differently you can stop choosing to be upset, when in reality you need to feel safe and would be better served with anxiety techniques. Your nervous system thinks anything stripping you of context connection or control is danger (the 3C's it also seeks to regain for that sense of safety), so *ordering* someone to do something *unrelated* to their problem thereby proving *you don't understand* what's going on sets the entire system into overdrive and provokes fight/flight directly. It's literally the worst thing you could say, you are seeing someone triggered and then *intentionally triggering them*.
The Foreigner with Pierce Brosnan shows a bit more of Jackie Chan in a serious role. Underated movie
I remember watching this in theaters with my father & we bust out laughing so hard at the "Got Damn! He ain't gonna be in Rush Hour 3" bloopers part 😂😂😂
"There's nothing like a Jackie Chan movie to remind you of how out of shape you are."
Did you really have to say that while I'm sitting here eating pizza rolls?
I love all the D&D references 😂. Carter with High Luck. Lee with high Agi. 😆
The secret service technically belongs under the department of treasury, so it makes sense if she is a treasury agent, but that doesn't sound as cool
24:47 Haha that was a good Sideshow Bob impression 😂
*The Strip is an odd city. The particular fake sky here is in the Forum Shops mall of Caesars palace. Outside of the Strip it’s basically like any west coast desert suburb
The stunt at the end where they spin vertically in the pole is real. You can see the stunt director breaking it down. It was done in one take. 25:33
Hi guys. There was a Jackie Chan film from a couple of years ago "The Foreigner" . Amazing.!
The swinging action scene in the lwst was done for real by Andy lee..he is a part of jackies crew..that action was explained in a Corridor crew episode feat. Andy lee
I really love giving my commentary with movies. For example, this one:
Carter: What's that light in yo mouth? (Carter looks over at the detonator) Aww man, this can't be good.
Me: Ya think?!
I lived there for a while and yes Hong Kong has many areas where forest ends right where the building starts. That's because only 10% of Hong Kong land is constructible, because of land incline :)
This is better than the original, cool reaction as always Simone & George, you both have a great weekend
Another great reaction. If you want to see Jackie in a dramatic role, you should watch The Foreigner with Pierce Brosnan
Casino's are cool as long as you remember why you're there. You're basically paying for the thrill and entertainment, not for a chance to win big, because that's never going to happen. And most casinos in Vegas know this so they'll treat you like a special guest, with all the bells and whistles, as long as you have the right amount of cash to burn. So I don't have anything against the people who gamble at casinos as long as they come in with their own fund that they are prepared to burn. Essentially, they're just paying for fun, much like people who go to Disneyland or the movies. It's just the scale that's different.
Gambling addicts are a different discussion altogether.
Yes, the Secret Service is also in charge of fighting counterfeit currency, not just protecting the president.
@14:59 the U.S. Secret Service actually got it's start combating counterfeit money rings before moving into presidential protection.
My favorite little quirk that most people miss is when Carter says “his” yacht is named the SS Minnow Johnson. Basically calling out the actual owner of the boat as compensating by naming it the “Little D!€k”
Yes, the secret service would definitely work on a counterfeit case, part of their duties. Moreover the story she told about the Intaglio printing press is actually real.
this movie still cracks me up even after all these year. Should do watch Gorgeous, great movie and crazy stunt work with Brad Allen, RIP to the man.
@troyross4920 yup!
Dang it, Simone. I'll never be able to get that cover image of you out of my mind 😅
You're saying that like it's a bad thing? 😂
The intro song in all RH films is made by the same guy that made the intro too Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee
Rush Hour 4 is in development.
The last stunt was all completely real and was even done without cutting!! It was all one sequence!
The Secret Service was founded in 1865 to suppress counterfeit money, and it still spends a lot of time investigating counterfeit money. The Secret Service has primary jurisdiction to investigate financial crimes, which include counterfeiting. Law enforcement agencies, banks, and cash processors submit suspected counterfeit currency to the Secret Service.
"Jackie always OK. 👍" One of my all-time favorite quotes from the legend himself.
Simone, capers are gross.
Fun fact, they did indeed do that twirly wrap around the poll thingy stunt. There's a RUclips video with one of the stunt guys who actually performed it.
"That was strangely erotic." Seen Mummy Returns? Lol
Casino's are sad. I remember being in Vegas at the Las Vegas Open for warhammer. Walking the floor to head to the hall at 8:30, playing 9 hours of 40k and then walking out and seeing the same people still gambling.
Imagine the people walking by the Open seeing you. They leave eight hours later and still see you sitting there playing Warhammer, thinking how sad. Gaming addiction is gaming addiction. 🤷♂️
i really, really, REALLY wanna hear Simone sing !!
You guys should do Who Am I from '98 I think? I just remember thinking Jackie was truly awesome.
Thanks George, for the translations
The Secret Service was part of the Department of the Treasury until 2003, so it would depend on when the movie takes place.
Re the thumbnail, to quote Chris Tucker from another movie: "Daaaaaaaaaamn!" 😍😂
George, the back story of Carter's life is Friday. 😂
You guys should check out Shanghai Noon.
For Simone’s benefit, much of the New Territories is still forested because most of the developments in the Hong Kong special region is in Hong Long Island and Kowloon. Britain didn’t even really start many developments in the New Territories until the 60s and 70s.
Just some feedback, I would really appreciate it if the channel reacted to more Chinese film. I noticed Simone tuned out when George was geeking out over the cast. And I just think if she watched more she would get George even alittle more.
(I’ve been in the position where I geeked out to see Donnie Yen and Jonah Wen in “Rogue One,” and no one I knew really cared. I remember it made me feel a little lonely at the time.)
A newer Jackie Chan movie I love is The Foreigner, also starring Pierce Brosnan. Totally underrated movie, I'd love to see you guys review it.
It's worth sticking through the patreon name reads because your patrons are hilarious lol
For context. Secret Service do investigate and pursue counterfeit currency. If memory serves, it stems from cival war era, where there was so many different currencies that fraud was on the rise.
I hope you do Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights. Jackie's dynamic with Owen Wilson is so good. It's no Chris Tucker/Jackie Chan, but it's really fun.
There are extended bloopers in RUclips but its for the whole 3 movies, so probably you can check it after Rush Hour 3
When he said “all y’all look alike” during the spa scene I realized Jackie Chan is the only one wearing purple.
The big swing at the end was real (if shot in multiple parts). You can see it broken down on Corridor Digtial's Stuntmen React
Jackie Chan did a serious film called the Foreigner and it didn't have any of the absurd stunt work but he still played an excellent role and the fight scenes are still Jackie Chan levels of awesome. Highly recommend it.
