"Skiptrace" is just a blatant attempt to recreate the winning formula of "Rush Hour" and ESPECIALLY "Shanghai Noon".

"Operation Condor" was made during the perfect time period, as Jackie Chan had enough experience as a director, his star power allowed for massive budgets and he was still young enough to defy God and gravity with his jaw dropping stunts. It was the perfect storm for greatness.
