It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is a really fun, completely idiotic buddy action flick. Jackie Chan does a bunch of his terrific, Buster Keaton-ish fights, cleverly using props and unexpected moves. Chris Tucker plays his unwilling partner, who is an absolute idiot. I find Tucker a bit problematic, in that I found him annoying - he reads every line like a stand-up comic trying to wake up a 3 a.m. crowd - but I also found him really funny. A lot of what happens in the movie is really, really stupid, particularly in the way the movie gets Chan into fights that includes his inexplicably picking a fight with the FBI and a bunch of barflies making the unlikely choice to attack the weird guy at the bar who clearly had no idea what he was doing. A better script would have been nice, but the great action and frequent laughs make this an excellent bit of popcorn filmmaking.

This movie is amazing. I love it. I love watching Jackie Chan's movies. He is the best actor in the world. He good at martial arts and very funny. He always act in dangerous situations. I can take the eyes of the screen. It is so incredible. I want to see him in other movies. So that I can see with my friends. Rush Hour is fast, funny and Fantastic. It is 2 hours of non stop entertainment. I have seen the sequel, No where near the Classic. Jackie Chan is amazing as the martial arts expert cop from Hong Kong. Chris Tucker is Hilarious as the fast talking cop from America. What happens when two people like this meet, Excitement and entertainment. This is Jackie's Best Hollywood Movie. I have seen a few Chris Tucker movie, this is his Best performance. I hope the third in the series will entertain as the First. If you have not seen this movie, then i recommend this movie. A great action comedy movie for all type of audience to enjoy. One of the best cop buddy movies since Lethal Weapon.

After watching the movie's name "rush hour", I'm just have to say that I'm so impress at the way the director created the story. Every body knows this movie's about a girl whom father's a rich person is kidnapped for money, with the help of 2 inspectors one from LA official and another's HongKong one that can help the girl out of danger situation. Along with the humor and thrilling at the writing style of two main characters by Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, the movie's become more melody and funny but it's also have some several fight scenes at the same time. About the detail which I impressed most is when the little girl in car and sung a pop song. Well, I think it's so funny and i had had a great time after watching it.On of the highlight in this movie's the way they create character personality. I'm totally interested in the "black" cop. He makes people believed that he's such a wise guy. Some people recommend about him as a negative personality because he doesn't help the case at all, sometime he just makes it more mess.But he's the most important to solve the case, without him the girl can escaped, his partner may gonna be died and so on. In conclusion, I love this movie at the way they ending it. No twist in this case that watcher don't understand, characters's all happy and the most important's it showed that "justice always wins"

Chris Tucker makes this film. Although Jackie Chan is amazing, Chris Tucker is the real star, a real 'brother' with heaps of attitude and some of the funniest lines in film history. this video was the soundtrack to the summer of 2000. Tucker and Chan really seem to have enjoyed themselves, and they sort of live up to the American stereotype of a cop duo. Jackie's moves are beautifully choreographed and make it look simple, but every move is timed to perfection, making this look like a ballet rather than a dangerous fight with millions of Dollars worth of vase. Chris is also very good as loud mouthed Carter, who really does want to help Lee, but wants to be noticed by the FBI, and others around him. Great fight scenes make this a great film. The fights are superb, and also comical. The two cops (Chan and Tucker) are complete opposites of each other. Tucker has a quick mouth, Chan has quick hands.Probably the main reason for this films huge success is the brilliant teaming of Jackie Chan and the hilarious Chris Tucker. The fastest hands in the east, meet the biggest mouth in the west. Thus giving the audience exactly the right amounts of both action (mainly from Chan) and comedy (mainly from Tucker), and therefore providing for every type of audience. However, once Chan gets a chance to show us what he can do I'm more than happy.Overall rating: 9 out of 10.
