\n

President Trump is waging his own cultural crusade, begging billionaire Larry Ellison\u2014whose son owns Paramount\u2014to bring back iconic 1980s and \u201990s action comedies like the<\/span> Rush Hour<\/span> franchise, <\/span>according to<\/span><\/a> Semafor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s affinity for <\/span>Rush Hour<\/i> <\/span>isn\u2019t just because it\u2019s a funny, mostly politically incorrect movie that embodies the 1990s (or at least the first one is). He also has the loyalty and political support of multiple people involved. <\/span>Rush Hour<\/i> <\/span>producer Arthur Sarkissian is also in charge of the production company that made <\/span>The Man You Don\u2019t Know<\/i><\/span>, an incredibly pro-Trump documentary that focused on humanizing the president.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, Trump has the support of the movie\u2019s leading men, who have refused to publicly criticize him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJust give him a chance to try to change America and change the world,\u201d Jackie Chan <\/span>said<\/span><\/a> in 2016. \u201cHe\u2019s a businessman.\u2026 I think he knows how to handle these types of things.\u201d In 2018, his co-star Chris Tucker said he hope Trump \u201cdoes good.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The role of Ellison\u2014and his son David\u2014cannot be ignored. It\u2019s been clear that the right-wing, pro-Israel billionaires are waging a new culture war against algorithms that don\u2019t fit their narrative. Bringing back these \u201980s and \u201990s anti-woke, machismo-filled films like <\/span>Rush Hour<\/i><\/span> is just a different point of attack for them. God only knows how badly they\u2019ll butcher a remake if it ever comes out.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
