The President's Cinematic Command: How Donald Trump is Resurrecting Old Franchises
A bizarre development in recent days has left fans and filmmakers alike scratching their heads. It appears that none other than President Donald Trump has asserted his influence on Hollywood, with a surprising demand for the fourth installment of the long-dormant Rush Hour franchise starring Jackie Chan.
Trump's unusual interest in the series, which originally ran from 1998 to 2007, raises eyebrows given its questionable quality. While fans of Chan and action-packed comedies may relish the prospect of more adventures with Inspector Lee and Detective James Carter, others are concerned about the President's evident lack of taste in cinema.
A closer examination of Trump's cinematic preferences reveals a disturbing pattern. The 1988 Jean-Claude Van Damme martial arts film Bloodsport is cited as one of his favorite movies, with the President reportedly enjoying it despite its lackluster reception by critics. Another notable example is Trump's criticism of Citizen Kane, in which he infamously suggested Charles Foster Kane should "get a different woman." These instances demonstrate that Trump's penchant for populist entertainment often prioritizes action and spectacle over artistic merit.
The implications of Trump's newfound influence on the film industry are far-reaching. By endorsing Rush Hour 4, he is signaling that he values shallow, high-energy movies with minimal intellectual rigour. This raises questions about the quality of future productions and the potential stifling of innovative storytelling.
Furthermore, sources close to the White House suggest that Trump has already set his sights on reviving other dormant franchises, including Shanghai Noon and its sequel, Shanghai Knights. The prospect of a second Double Impact or a Quentin Tarantino-directed Bloodsport sequel is equally unsettling, as these projects may capitalize on Trump's baseless nostalgia for cheesy 80s films.
Perhaps most concerning, however, are the hints that Trump has been quietly courting Sylvester Stallone to become an official ambassador to Hollywood. This move could signal the imminent production of a long-rumored sequel to Tango & Cash, one of Trump's favourite Stallone films. The prospect of another mindless action flick with the two-time Oscar winner is a worrying development in a film industry that desperately needs a dose of creative revitalization.
While it remains unclear what Trump's ultimate goals are for the US film industry, one thing is certain: his influence will have far-reaching consequences for the types of movies that get made. With the President now firmly at the helm, only time will tell if American cinema will become increasingly shallow or find a way to buck this trend.

I mean, can you imagine watching another Rush Hour movie with Trump's version of Inspector Lee and Detective Carter? It's just too much 
. And what's up with all these old franchises getting revived? Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Jackie Chan too, but come on, it's time for something new 
. Trump's love for cheesy 80s films is already giving me a headache 
. The thought of Sylvester Stallone becoming an ambassador to Hollywood and making another Tango & Cash sequel? 
No thanks! I need more indie films and critically acclaimed movies in my life, you know? 
... Trump is basically trying to bring back some old franchises just because they're nostalgic to him? Like, Rush Hour 4? Come on man... I get it, Jackie Chan is iconic and all that, but who thought we needed another one of these movies?! And Shanghai Noon? Ugh... those movies are so cheesy 
. Trump's got no taste in cinema whatsoever... he's just gonna push out some shallow, mindless action flicks that'll only appeal to his die-hard fanbase. It's like, what about good storytelling and complex characters? Does he even care about any of that? This is just crazy... the thought of Sylvester Stallone starring in a Tango & Cash sequel is just laughable 
that movie was a mess even b4 he liked it lolol and now he wanna revive Shanghai Noon???
can we pls just get some real movies made 4 a change?? 
. This whole thing gives me hope for Rush Hour 4 - maybe it'll be the one that brings people back together like old times 
. But on a more serious note, we need to see if any filmmakers are actually going to step in and reign Trump's creative chaos in check 
... or else we might just end up with some cringeworthy sequels 
. And now he wants Jackie Chan to star in Rush Hour 4? Like, come on... 
. I hope the studios don't cave and make some cheesy action flick that we'll all regret watching later 
. I'm all for a good sequel or reboot, but this feels like a recipe for disaster 
. Can't wait to see what other ridiculous projects he comes up with 
. It just doesn't work. The whole thing feels like a weird midlife crisis for the guy. And Rush Hour 4? Really? Can we not get some actual quality content with our action-comedies? I'm all for nostalgia, but this feels like some sorta pandering to his base 
IT'S JUST SO... TRUMP
