报道称,特朗普曾向派拉蒙-天舞影业的大股东拉里·埃利森施压,要求重新启动这一深受观众喜爱的电影系列。

Larry Ellison, the largest shareholder of Paramount Skydance, has reportedly been leant on by the US president to revive the affectionately remembered

Rush Hour
films – the knockabout buddy cop adventures starring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan.

据报道,《尖峰时刻4》是特朗普在第二个总统任期内的重要计划,他渴望让传统男子气概在好莱坞文化中重现光彩。

A fourth

Rush Hour
film is reportedly a central part of Trump's second-term project – a dream of reintroducing some old-fashioned masculinity into Hollywood culture.

《尖峰时刻》系列电影讲述了洛杉矶警探詹姆斯·卡特(克里斯·塔克饰)和香港的李警官(成龙饰)这对搭档的故事。两人演绎了“水土不服”喜剧——“水土”便是对方的文化。当然,片中还有大量打斗场面,塔克奉上美式拳脚混战,成龙则大秀令人捧腹的武打招式。

报道指出,这一系列电影以轻松搞笑和充满刻板印象的桥段著称,正好迎合了特朗普的喜好。

The idea of the

Rush Hour
series is a quirky odd-couple pairing of two cops: Chris Tucker's James Carter from the LAPD and Jackie Chan's Yan Naing Lee from the Hong Kong Police Force. They both get to play "fish out of water" comedy – the water being each other's culture. And, of course, there are plenty of fights, with Tucker giving us some all-American punch-ups and Chan busting out some uproarious martial arts moves.

It's all very undemanding, stereotypical stuff and Trump absolutely loves it.
