adonis98-743-186503 A loyal and dedicated Hong Kong inspector teams up with a reckless and loudmouthed LAPD detective to rescue the Chinese Consul's kidnapped daughter, while trying to arrest a dangerous crime lord along the way. Rush Hour benefits from a great mix of humor, action and martial arts but also great chemistry from both Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker who are amazing in the film and their damn insane and bring all the laughs. The action sequences are also entertaining enough and the humor is top notch 90's humor. Overall an amazing film for fans of Chan but also for fans of action movies in general. (10/10)
Fluke_Skywalker Plot; A Chinese detective is paired w/an American counterpart in an effort to find the kidnapped daughter of a Chinese Consul. Brings absolutely nothing new to the buddy cop genre, but Jackie Chan's acrobatics are always a treat and Chris Tucker is far less annoying than I remembered him being.
areatw 'Rush Hour' is an average, generic action/comedy movie that is saved by the duo of Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan, who are frankly the only thing about this film that makes it somewhat interesting. The storyline is weak and lacking imagination, especially for an action film.Tucker and Chan's chemistry and their on-screen relationship is by far the best thing about this film. For a so-called comedy, the script isn't particularly funny and any amusing moments are mostly down to Tucker and Chan acting silly. That's as far as the positives extend, everything else about this film is very average.
Photographer_D I love this movie. I didn't know how it would be at first. Because of the huge difference between Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. Well after watching it I realized that the two are perfect together. One is a serious cop who's only goal is to solve crimes that has been committed. While the other one is a cool, slick cop who likes women and having a good time. This is a movie I always have fun watching. Jackie Chan does the fighting, Chris Tucker does the talking. Chris Tucker was just hysterical and Jackie Chan was brilliant with his incredible stunts. If you want to see a brilliant action comedy, I recommend you get Rush Hour.
