Summary: Lots of laughs in oddball 'buddy' movie
Review: Jackie Chan, the great Chinese action star, plays a Hong Kong detective at the time of China's taking control of the city. A friend of his is dispatched to Los Angeles in a consulate position, and Chan is summoned soon thereafter when his buddy's daughter is kidnapped by gangsters. The FBI, not wanting any interference in the case, arranges to pair him with one of the wildest cops in LA history. As played by Chris Tucker, he is also the loudest. This ploy to get Chan away from the investigation doesn't work, of course. As always, the FBI agents are made to look like they are sharing a brain. You've already guess that the two policemen get along at first like cats and dogs, but by the end of the picture, they are best buddies. Along the way, they solve the case.As a comedy team, Chan and Tucker work well together. The quiet, low-keyed Chan plays straight man to the brash, outrageous Tucker. There are the usual ongoing jokes about cultural differences, but at least in this case, pairing a Chinese character with an Afro-American does create a lot of opportunity for humor. Opposing tastes in food is a good topic, as is the language barrier. There is also a running joke about our obsession with hand guns. Jackie Chan is hard not to like, while Chris Tucker has much in common with W. C. Fields, Jerry Lewis and Jim Carrey. People either love him or hate him. As is the rule in action comedy, the plot makes no sense. What carries the movie is the teaming of two actors whose personalities work well together. The special effects don't hurt either. There's an explosion every three minutes. Lalo Schifin delivers a fine musical score. The set design is appropriately garish. A special thanks goes to Rush Hour's editors, who made sure it was short and to the point. While Rush Hour is often entertaining, it does not measure up to a couple of similarly themed comedies - 48 Hours and Beverly Hills Cop - that were big hits when I was younger. Or is my memory playing tricks on me?

Summary: Fantastic and sprightly thriller/comedy double act.
Review: 'Rush Hour' continues that great tradition of Hollywood popular cinema as set by D.W. Griffith, John Ford and Frank Capra, in which foreigners and outsiders to the dominant white culture are absorbed into that shimmering ideal: America. Unlike its famous precursors, though, who demanded that the Other suppressed his ethnicity and became symbolically white, 'Rush Hour''s new America respects cultural differences and individuality. Each culture has something to learn and give to the other, which is different from the usual Imperialism plundering ancient traditions. It even insists on Mandarin subtitles in the Hong Kong sequences rather than the comedy accents Hollywood usually employ. And what is particularly winning about 'Rush Hour' is that these 'serious' themes are integrated with the lightest of touches: where Capra would have hectored his audience with platidunous speeches, 'Rush Hour' offers delightful verbal riffs, hilarious musical interludes, and, that old stomping ground of clashing cultures, food. More important than the thematic stuff is that 'Rush Hour' is a very rare thing in contemporary Hollywood: a fast and funny comedy thriller. The partnership between loud-mouthed, slightly bent Chris Tucker, and humorous but disciplined Jackie Chan is sheer pleasure, at once relaxed and intense. The dialogue has more than its fair share of classic wisecracks. But best of all, in this age of hamfisted advertising graduates and jaded hacks, is that Brett Ratner knows how to direct and pace an action movie, helped immeasurably by the maestro of slick soundtracks, Lalo Schifrin. Chan may be moving down a gear for his American audience, but his body's flexibility is a wonder. Pauline Kael once compared Bruce Lee to Fred Astaire: Chan must be Gene Kelly, his inventive use of props for dazzling choreographic effect (see in particular the climactic business with a millenia-ancient vase) is at once physical, weightless and always witty. It's a shame, however, that it is as custodians of old pottery that the People's Republic of China are represented in the film, and not custodians of, ahem, human rights.

Summary: GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!
Review: Has been picked apart -- so in short -- this is a great, hilarious movie with great stars.
What I like about Jackie Chan's movies are the blunders -- just as good as the movie itself. I definitely love actors that can laugh at themselves.
Chris Tucker does a hair too much yelling, but he is still funny! I just wish they would give us the option of having a full screen showing of the movie - I don't like these elongated pictures. One of the reasons I still like my videos. Highly Recommended - you will have a rolicking good time with this one -- video or dvd

Summary: It was kept clean
Review: I so appreciate movies that keep it clean. No T & A here. A nice, funny and enjoyable movie and put together very well. There is many "shoot-em up" sense, but ..... no grusome blood being splattered about. Just gun fights done cleanly. How nice to have a movie like this to enjoy throughly.

Summary: RUSH HOUR
Review: In RUSH HOUR, a policeman from Hong Kong (Jackie Chan) finds himself teaming up with a policeman from Las Angeles (Chris Tucker) in order to solve a case where the daughter of a Chinese diplomat is taken hostage and held for ransom by the leader of a Hong Kong terrorist syndicate. Jackie Chan is on hand to provide some action and stunts, and Chris Tucker is on hand to serve up his unique brand of comedy. To me, this is the ultimate "buddy cop's" movie.
