May 17, 2020While this formulaic bit of buddy cop comedy kinda works, it kinda works on the back of Chris Tucker's black-man-playing-blackface-for-the-modern-day - "ghetto" riffing, which is practically nonstop throughout the piece. It's embarrassing as hell that Hollywood still plays this card, and that black guys still need to play it...to get work. I thought that some ching-chang Chinese slur was a certainty, given Tucker's obvious pandering to white ideas of what black people act and sound like, but no doubt Jackie Chan thankfully nixed that (but for some little throwaways here and there). There's some story about catching kidnappers, but it's only a cover for Tucker's movie-long blackface routine. Still, it was successful, so I must be part of the extreme minority to find this yuk-yuk flippancy offensive. In this day and age? Only about 20 years ago.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Jul 23, 2015A buddy comedy film that has been done so many times before but the miss match cops work well together on set, We have Jackie Chan with the great action scenes and Chris Tucker for the comedy they make the old script work well that's funny and entertaining and worth watching.Jamie C Super Reviewer

Feb 16, 2014The buddy-cop film Rush Hour is an exciting action/comedy from Brett Ratner. Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan star as a pair of unorthodox detectives who are put on a task force to help the Chinese consulate in L.A. recover his kidnapped daughter. Chan delivers his usual dynamic martial arts style that's full of flare and energy, and Tucker brings a lot of lively comedy. Still, things get a little too cartoonish at times and the plot's fairly predictable. While it's hardly original, Rush Hour is good, lighthearted fun.Dann M Super Reviewer
