...a leader of the infamous Fight Club and edward norton as the "unamed" main charecter also acts his part perfectly.

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) ...
