Features: DVD, Platinum Series, Commentary, Director's Cut
One's all talk...the other's all action... Jackie Chan (Rumble In The Bronx, First Strike) and Chris Tucker (Money Talks, Friday) mix punches with punchlines in this hilarious action-comedy. Chan is a tough Hong Kong cop in Lops Angeles to solve the kidnapping of a Chinese diplomats' daughter. But the FBI wants none of his help and recruits a fast-talking LAPD detective (Tucker) to babysit him. Cultures clash and tempers flare as these two cops from different worlds quickly discover one thing in common: they can't stand each other. With time running out, they must join forces to catch the criminals--if they don't kill each other first!
"Chan and Tucker are terrific..." Jeffrey Lyons, WNBC
"The year's funniest action comedy!" Andy Klein, New Times LA
"Two thumbs up!" Siskel & Ebert
Editor's Note
A box office smash, this film combines the comic stylings of funny-man Chris Tucker with the explosive action of superstar Jackie Chan. The two team up to battle the bad guys and, along the way, meet their fair share of dangerous situations.

"...It deserves to succeed..." 12/01/1998 p.60-1Entertainment Weekly
"...Great....The start of a beautiful friendship and a rewarding Hollywood franchise between [Tucker and Chan]..." -- Rating: B 01/22/1999 pp.107-9 USA Today
"...Twinkle-eyed martial arts melees..." 09/18/1998 p.3E New York Times
"...[A] kick-happy buddy film....[Chan] makes a doleful expression and comedic physical grace take the place of small talk..." 09/18/1998 p.E12 Box Office
"...[Chan] is in fine form -- nimble, fun and reserved. It's the best acting he's done in a while, which makes it all the more exhilarating to watch him dance through the well-choreographed fight scenes..." 11/01/1998 p.157 Los Angeles Times
"...Good-looking, well-paced....Ratner keeps the picture barreling ahead while showing off his stars to advantage. Chan humorously underplays to the hyper Tucker, leaving his fabled martial artistry to provide the razzle-dazzle..." 09/18/1998 p.C6 Boxoffice Magazine 7 of 10
Tucker maintains his manic energy without becoming too grating and, when he drops to a saner level, actually shares some nice moments with Chan. Chan, meanwhile, is in fine form--nimble, fun and reserved. It's the best acting he's done in a while, which makes it all the more exhilarating to watch him dance through the well-choreographed fight scenes. Despite the inordinate amount of cliches tossed about, the characters have heart, the film has energy and a relatively solid story comparatively. - Simon O'Ryan

4 of 5 Great Action/Comedy Antics Tuesday, June 01, 1999
A Viewer from Portland, OR
Ignore the critics on this movie. It's both fun and action packed, featuring the almost appealing Jackie Chan and annoying Chris Tucker. This isn't classic cinema or anyting, but it's fun nonetheless. The DVD extras make it worth the purchase price! Was this review helpful?

scottboy from Spring Lake NJ
Rush hour is an action comedy featuring Jakie Chan. Knowing Jackie, this movie contains fast action and funny situations. There is alot of humor in it,something you and your friends will enjoy watching. Some of the plot is weak,but it is still worth renting on video. Was this review helpful?
