    The first real Jackie Chan picture crafted for the American market, is a terrific piece of junk filmmaking.
  2. Rush Hour effectively teams Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in a formulaic but funny action comedy that should please fans of both stars.
  3. A sturdily entertaining vehicle, easily the little guy's best American-made film.

    The stunts are great but they make sense and don't blow the sense of reality of the whole movie.

    One of my all time favorite movies. This is the movie that made me love buddy cop movies, and a Jackie Chan fan. Although, I wonder where Chris Tucker is these days. Expand

    Great comedy and action movie. Jackie Chan showed his martial art stunts, although Chris Tucker was quite funny man.
  3. A repeatedly hilarious buddy-cop film with as many gut-busting one liners from Chris Tucker as there are jaw-dropping stunts from Jackie Chan.
  4. An excellent buddy cop film. There are lots of humor, Kung Fu and action. Jackie Chan did some excellent martial arts, and Chris Tucker did some funny lines and jokes. My score: 73/100 Expand
