Rush Hour

Film · 1998

When Hong Kong Inspector Lee is summoned to Los Angeles to investigate a kidnapping, the FBI doesn't want any outside help and assigns cocky LAPD Detective James Carter to distract Lee from the case. Not content to watch the action from the sidelines, Lee and Carter form an unlikely partnership and investigate the case themselves.

The sides of Rush Hour

  • A Hong Kong inspector in Los Angeles
  • A loudmouth LAPD detective
  • A consul's kidnapped daughter

Rush Hour is good for you if…

  • you like Chris Tucker talking nonstop next to a calm Jackie Chan.
  • you like Jackie Chan's martial arts and his own stunts.
  • you like two cops who can't stand each other becoming partners.

Rush Hour is bad for you if…

  • you need a police case that holds up to logic.
  • you'd rather a patient, quiet detective story.
