The Most Fun Restaurants in D.C.
Lucky Danger Link In the back of Tim Ma's new flagship restaurant in Penn Quarter is the only public Mahjong bar in D.C. Jackie Chan's hit movie Rush Hour inspired Ma to create this back room, after seeing him break down a wall to reveal a secret Mahjong room. 'It's honoring the culture and it's integrated into my family dynamics making dumplings and playing Mahjong. That was my childhood,' says Ma. Each Wednesday from 5 to 7 p.m. Ma's restaurant holds one-hour Mahjong classes for $25 a person which includes another hour of guided open play on its three automatic shuffling tables. After enjoying fun drinks like the Drunken Master Shakara made with a 12-year rum or the Twisting Tiger Punch with mezcal, milky oolong tea, and mango lassi, make your way into the dining room to enjoy such delicacies such as LaBelle Farms crispy Beijing duck or allium pancakes topped with Osetra caviar.

'Rush Hour' Receives Trigger Warning During TV Broadcast
The 1998 buddy cop action comedy Rush Hour is nearly thirty years old. The world has changed quite a bit since its release near the tail-end of the 1990s, and now Rush Hour has been given a trigger warning as a result. The usage of trigger warnings has become more popular in recent years as distributors attempt to warn some viewers that the content they're about to watch might not hold up to today's cultural and societal standards. Such titles can be considered to be problematic, and as the below trigger warning notes, it means Rush Hour might include content that's considered 'outdated' or even 'offensive.' Obviously not all viewers might agree with those sentiments, especially since Rush Hour is mostly a comedy movie featuring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan rather than something genuinely mean-spirited. Either way, as shared via X, a trigger warning attached to Rush Hour on the USA Network has been spotted. The warning reads as follows: 'We all love our 90's buddy comedies… but this movie was created in a different time,' the warning begins. 'FYI: Certain depictions, language and humor may seem outdated and at times offensive.' They put a warning in front of 'Rush Hour' because of Gen Z — 🖤 Physical Media Forever 🖤 (@VHSDVDBLURAY4K) July 5, 2025 As mentioned, trigger warnings have become popular, so this might not be particularly surprising. However, for a film like Rush Hour to receive a warning, it's been enough to prompt many conversations on the matter.

At the end of the day, viewers are generally aware of what they're watching and that times were different when older films were released. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any potential updates as we have them. While there are plenty of fans that feel rather frustrated to see a trigger warning like this attached to Rush Hour , it remains to be seen whether or not the practice of creating such warnings will continue or eventually cease.

Rush Hour fans didn't expect a nostalgic rewatch to spark a generational clash, but that's exactly what happened after a recent airing of Rush Hour 2 included a content warning.

One user wrote, 'Gen Z be trying to cancel anyone these days.' Another asked sarcastically, 'How is it that the generation who grew up with South Park & Family Guy are so easily offended?' One person mentioned, 'I hate that the modern zeitgeist seems to view 'offended' or 'makes me uncomfortable' as some danger that must be avoided. In reality, so what? You can always turn something off. Different things can exist and not align with your way of life—and that's okay.' "Gen Z needs disclaimers on everything," mentioned one user. Gen Z needs disclaimers on X is going to troll you for being soft. "This generation is Cooked fr fr. Soon they might have to cancel Tom and Jerry," one user sarcastically wrote. This generation is Cooked fr fr. Soon they might have to cancel Tom and Jerry 😂😂 Some fans pointed out that if Rush Hour gets a warning, then films like Blazing Saddles or Animal House would require even stronger ones. What Rush Hour is really about Released in 1998, Rush Hour became an instant hit for its mix of action, comedy, and cross-cultural buddy-cop energy. The film paired Jackie Chan as Inspector Lee, a disciplined Hong Kong police officer, with Chris Tucker as Detective James Carter, an over-the-top LAPD cop. Thrown together to solve a kidnapping case, the two form an unlikely partnership filled with culture clashes, miscommunication, and high-octane martial arts stunts. What made Rush Hour work was the chemistry between Chan and Tucker. Tucker's rapid-fire wisecracks balanced Chan's charm and gravity-defying action, making the film one of Chan's most successful Hollywood ventures. The film's popularity spawned two sequels, with Rush Hour 2 arriving in 2001 and Rush Hour 3 in 2007. There have been frequent rumours about a Rush Hour 4, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
