Movie Monday: Rush Hour 3

Game Industry News

Hey all I’m back with another entry in a Jackie Chan series for this week’s Movie Monday. It’s Rush Hour 3!

Casting: With Tucker and Chan being our main stars I expected better out of this when I first watched it. Looking back Rush Hour 3 was just not great, and even Jackie Chan couldn’t salvage it.

Discarding cards is generally bad to do, but Haunted House turns that on its head. It’s full of cards that do things when you discard them, like these: All four of these cards are reasonably powerful on their own, without any special discarding going on.
