![]() This is a shame because Tucker is funny but his manic antics can get a bit irritating in large doses - it needed more of Chan. ![]() ![]() Which it does - there's not as much action for Jackie Chan as I would have liked and his fight scenes feel toned down in favour of Tucker's manic comedy (this was partially reversed in RH2). The story is very unlikely but it makes enough sense to get by, all it needs is to hang in and create lots of set pieces. Here the difference is the black culture and the Chinese culture. This is yet another buddy cop movie where different partners must overcome their differences to solve a crime. However with both Lee and Carter keen to be involved in the investigation, they set out on their own to find the girl overcoming both bad guys and cultural differences. Not wishing his help the FBI arrange a LAPD officer Carter to keep him out of trouble. When a diplomat's daughter is kidnapped in the US, a Chinese policeman Lee is sent to help the FBI with the investigation. I highly recommend Rush Hour, it's all in good fun and it'll give you more than a few good laughs. My favorite scene is where Lee plays "War" by Edwin Starr in Carter's car, and he doesn't know how to say the lyrics correctly, and Carter shows him some moves, it was such a classic scene that brought me down to the floor laughing. Chris and Jackie are such a great team, I was really impressed with their chemistry. It's already spawned a sequel and it's been a success. Rush Hour is a guaranteed classic down the lines somewhere, I'm sure. But together, the fastest hands in the east meets the fastest mouth in the west, they must learn to work together despite their complete opposite personalities and get the girl back. They want 50 million dollars in return, but the ambassador thinks that Lee should be involved, so he sends for him, but the F.B.I. The ambassador goes to the United States with his daughter, but she is kidnapped by an evil man of the Chinese Consol. Lee is a body guard to the Chinese ambassador and is also a close friend, he also is a teacher to his daughter, Soo Yong. The story was just pure entertainment and really kept me on the edge. Rush Hour is one of those very fun action/comedy movies that I'm sure you'll enjoy if you love movies like Lethal Weapon or 48 Hours. Not only him, but this is the film that is making Jackie Chan into a world wide super star. I know a lot of people find him annoying, but I thought he was just so funny. Chris Tucker has always been one of my favorite comedians, even before I saw Rush Hour, so it was great to see him in Rush Hour. A classic action movie that brings great action as well as awesome comedy that makes you laugh every minute. Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan, the best comedic duo since Lethal Weapon bring us Rush Hour.
