a5c7b9f00b Jackie Chan is Inspector Lee, a Hong Kong Detective who helps confiscate three dollars worth of stolen Chinese artifacts from Crime Lord Juntao. Seeking revenge, Juntao kidnaps the daughter of the Chinese consul when he moves to America. Chan is sent as a diplomatic advisor and finds himself paired up with a Los Angeles cop (Chris Tucker) - a man who works alone, and wants to stay that way.
Realizing that the FBI and their by the book tactics may be unsuccessful, the Chinese consul recruits the aid of a loyal Hong Kong inspector to help rescue his kidnapped daughter. Outlawed by the FBI, the inspector must form an unlikely partnership with a cocky, street smart LAPD officer who prefers doing things his own way.
This movie was so funny, I was in stitches. I haven't enjoyed a comedy like Rush Hour a a long time.
Chris Tucker is one of those actors where occasionally you have to stop and ask yourself, "Why is this guy an actor?" Then you watch his eyes, and you remember. Chris Tucker has the most expressive and chaotic eyes I've seen on film, and I love 'em. His acting is subpar, but as long as he has eyes, I'll watch his films.<br/><br/>You also have to commend Jackie Chan for always doing his own stunts. That man has probably fallen over a thousand miles in his career, but it doesn't show in the least. Buddy cop movies are a dime a dozen, but this one that gets an award for being both funny and tolerable.<br/><br/>And last but not least, Good God Yaw.
This good-natured comedy is set off by the high spirits of its stars.
