Action & Adventure > Chan, Jackie Action & Adventure

East meets West to kick butt

Advantages: Great on screen relationship, great stunts, comical and very entertaining
Disadvantages: None for me.

...and directed by Brett Ratner Rush Hour was released on 4 December 1998. ****Story line**** A Chinese Official’s daughter is kidnapped and held to ransom. Does not fully trust the American police force and calls in Hong Kong’s finest, Chief Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) to rescue her. Since the kidnapping happened on the Los Angeles Police Department’s turf they send in a typically ‘clumsy’ and ‘lousy’ officer, James Carter (Chris Tucker), to rescue ...
...At the time of writing Rush Hour can be bought for £1.99 from Play.com. At this price it is an absolute bargain and represents great value for money since I believe it is a film that will be watched over and over again. ****Other**** Run time – 97 minutes Certificate - 12 6 awards and 7 nominations (originally posted on Dooyoo under the name of Yackers1) ...

Disadvantages: None for me - It is Chan and TUcker at their best

...and directed by Brett Ratner, Rush Hour 2 was the long awaited sequel that was released on 3 August 2001. Story line Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) is on vacation and heads out to the Far East where he plans to stay with Chief Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) and take in the sights, fun and excitement that Hong Kong has to offer. Partying and women are the only things on his mind. Unbeknown to Carter, Lee has a complex case to solve. Triad, ...
...years for the sequel to Rush Hour to be released and when it was announced it was so hyped up by the media that there was no way that Rush Hour 2 could live up to it, or was there? In my opinion this film exceeded all expectations (even my very high ones) and was one of the films of 2001 for me. It was right in the middle of the teen movie era, so this film made a refreshing change. As with the first film the main story was nothing special, nor ...

Around the World in 80 Days

Advantages: Some funny moments, its entertaining, range of actors used (both English & American)
Disadvantages: Slightly slow in parts, a bit cheesy/predictable

...Fogg and Passepartout is chased around the world by the English government. Of course there's a valid reason why Chan's character stole this Buddha, as often is the case in these type of movies he stars in, it turns out that the Buddha figurine had originally been stolen from his hometown in China and if it isn't returned to its rightful home, then it will face a bleak future. hence his reason to join Fogg, so he can return it when they reach China. ...
...is a French artist called Monique (Played by Cecile de France), who they find in Paris, who decides to join them for the adventure and to be inspired to paint more semi amateur impressionist paintings (they find her at an art exhibition, though she's no professional and is only employed for menial work). This film features more of the usual Chan comedy martial arts scenes, it is pretty amusing in points and is generally quite diverting. It isn't ...

The Classic Western Gets A Kick In The Pants

Advantages: Jackie Chan/Owen Wilson
Disadvantages: No graphics other then good acting

...another film together other then Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights, well done I would give this film a 9 out of 10 for everything. There really wasn't much graphics, but that's the way Jackie Chan likes it not many stunts he wouldn't do himself. There is some mild bad language in this film and also some mild sex and nudity and of course there is frequent to moderate valance in it but like I said of course its a Jackie Chan film doesn't that say ...
...out giving too much of the film away was the drinking games that was funny were they really drunk, and if they were not they acted very well on them sconces. Type of film Adventure/Action/Martial Arts Rated 12 totally the right rating for this film Running Time 106 min's (1 hr 46 min's) Directed by - Tom Dey Also he directed Show Time/ The Hunger the TV series/Failure To Lunch/The Big House Writers ...

Rush Hour 3 Review

Advantages: Funny, good family comedy
Disadvantages: None

...only slightly off the second Rush Hour. Lee and Carter end up going to paris in search of a list of names. When Lee encounters his Brother on 'The other side of the law' this causes massive complications for the partenership when they head off to France to find the Triads. The two run into trouble at a local martial arts school while trying to access Soo Youngs locker and are denied this priveledge by a very big problem and stopping force. This is ...
...would stongly recommend purchasing this movie but also purchasing the box set of the trilogy as all of the Rush Hour Movies are brilliant and are good fun for all of the family. Even if you cant buy this movie rent it because you need to see it! ...
