Jackie Chan as Pop Cosmopolitanism

In Jenkins article on Pop Cosmopolitanism, he talks about how American pop culture draws off of and incorporates cultures worldwide but more specifically, Asia. One culture that Jenkins mentioned briefly was Hong Kong action movies, and I want to elaborate this a little more using the example of Jackie Chan movies. Jackie Chan was a Hong Kong actor and most of his movies were aimed towards being action films. Even though the culture of these movies fed from Chinese culture, they were also very "American". One of the most notorious aspects of Jackie Chan movies was his kung-fu which is an important part of Chinese culture. A good example of American and Japanese cultures clashing is in Jackie Chan's movie "Rush Hour". In this movie, Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) comes to LA from China to find a Chinese girl who has been kidnapped and ends up becoming partners with James Carter, played by Chris Tucker.  This movie demonstrates how the two cultures kind of clash in some ways. The character of James Carter at first has a hard time understanding what Chan is saying because of his Chinese accent, also Chan's character is portrayed as being more serious and as being smarter than the American guy. I think that this movie "Rush Hour" portrays ways in which American culture uses Asian culture in media.
