Wow, that... that was hard to watch. Three minutes of "I'm black! Also you're Chinese and don't understand what I'm saying! Also I'm black!" It looked like a student-made remake or something.
The originals worked precisely because of the chemistry and screen presence of Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. Replace them with, oh, I dunno... Marlon Wayans and Jet Li, and the movies would probably have been pretty friggin terrible.
Replace them with some no-names with no individual appeal, and it's even worse.
I'd say it'll fail immediately, but shitty shows like Scorpion and Two Broke Girls are still on the air (on CBS, no less), so hey, what do I know?
