DVD: Rush Hour

Rush Hour stars Jackie Chan as Inspector Lee, and Chris Tucker as James Carter in this hilarious buddy cop story.

When Consul Han's (Tzi Ma) daughter is kidnapped in America on her way to school the FBI comes into investigate, but Consul Han wants his own man work on the case with the FBI, Hong Kong Chief Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan). The FBI hates this idea and has the local police to keep Lee out of their way L.A.P.D. cop James Carter (Chris Tucker). So James Carter takes Lee sight seeing around LA, only to lose him and eventually meet up in Han house where the FBI is not that pleased with Lee appearing. So secretly both Carter and Lee help and try to bring the girl kidnappers to justice in this wonderful, action-packed, hilarious thrill ride.


Rush Hour is a East meets West in cultures. With Jackie Chan's amazing stunts and Chris Tucker's fast talking jokes how can this not be good. And boy this is good this has to be on of my favorite buddy cop movies out. Jackie Chan's acrobatics are top notch and are really well done. Along with some great laugh out loud moments from Chris Tucker.

The story of Rush Hour is pretty basic, a daughter of a wealthy man gets kidnapped and the bad guys want a ransom. Everything here his pretty straight forward not that much twist and turn throughout this one, but the really shining moments are the chemistry between Tucker and Chan.

Rush Hour is a very sharpe, funny and entertain movie which anyone will like. If you like action or comedy then this one is for you. I Strongly Recommend Rush Hour, I loved this movie.
