East meets West to kick butt
Review of Rush Hour (DVD) by yackers1

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 ... Read review

Rush Hour
Review of Rush Hour (DVD) by wildberry

Advantages: Great Film, great laugh!
Disadvantages: Hmmmm...none as yet..

...out last weekend to see Rush Hour 2, having seen Rush Hour in the cinemas and thoroughly enjoyed it, we decided to see Rush Hour 2 which was a great film too. Anyway, I decided to revisit the first film in its DVD form. Ahhh I bet you thought I was going to about Rush Hour 2 in the wrong category eh? This is my first review and I decided to look around the site reviewing others before I wrote my first review, and I saw that reviews in the wrong ... Read review

Get Carter
Review of Rush Hour (DVD) by JVL

Advantages: Good action, easy viewing
Disadvantages: Formulaic

‘Rush Hour’ is an amusing diversion but not really much more, based on a formula that has been tried and tested in several police/comedy films down the years, probably most notably in the 1980s Schwarzenegger star vehicle ‘Red Heat’. The main theme of both films is remarkably similar – a policeman from a Communist country is sent to investigate a crime in the USA, he is paired with something of a renegade cop and encounters ...

Do You Understand The Words Comin' Outta My Mouth
Review of Rush Hour (DVD) by TheNeil

Advantages: Different
Disadvantages: Hmmm

...comes to a film like Rush Hour I immediate feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Excitement? Anticipation? Hardly - more like fear. The elements are all wrong and if ever a movie screamed 'waste of time', this is it. So we can ignore it and carry on watching 'decent' films (such as The Cannonball Run or anything with Sylvia Stallone in it) (apologies, I seem to have been momentarily possessed by the spirit of my own brother just then). When ... Read review

BRING ON RUSH HOUR 2
Review of Rush Hour (DVD) by emu128

Advantages: Funny and fab action
Disadvantages: Nothing at all

...going on about the brilliant Rush Hour 2 at the moment, well I haven't seen Rush Hour 2 (YET!!) And until the other day I hadn't seen Rush Hour either! I'd heard of Rush Hour, it sounded a pretty good action movie, but I'd never actually got round to seeing it! A few days back now I watched it on Digital and I was very impressed, can't wait to see the second one now! Here is my review on the film itself... PLOT The film starts with the ... Read review

What The Hell D'You Just Say
Review of Rush Hour (DVD) by Nameless

Advantages: Great action, excellent dialogue and 2 great leads
Disadvantages: Some weak plot links and an only above average support cast

Rush Hour is a film that has finally seen the extraordinary Jackie Chan really crack Hollywood. After the direly acted, but awesomely choreographed efforts like Rumble In The Bronx, Mr. Nice Guy and First Strike, producers realised that what Chan needed was a quality talker alongside him to take away from Chan’s own language problems. Enter Chris Tucker, a motor mouth by any rights, and therefore the perfect foil for Chan. The plot centres ... Read review

What a combination
Review of Rush Hour (DVD) by ciao007

Advantages: Chan and Tucker, humour and action.
Disadvantages: The plot isn't a very clever one, the supporting actors scripts.

...few but are speaced out. Rush Hour is centered around the plot instead the comedy and action is the most important. Overall:3/5 Actors: Chan and Tucker are the most important actors as well as the best is this film. Their isn't really any other famous actors because the film is based mostly on Chan and Tucker. Tucker is funny with his cocky mouth and is a very good quick talker, he is also involved in the action which is a helpful addition. ... Read review

Buddy movies and the meaning of life
Review of Rush Hour (DVD) by dave27

Advantages: Chan
Disadvantages: Tucker

...their way through Adversity ... Rush Hour, hearts of gold, moves of mercury, script of silver ... all this and the oddest reading of 'War' you ever did hear... Strangely, and against all my better feelings, I actually quite enjoyed this movie, despite its oh so bland predictability and lack of anything new. Lewis dave27 pestered me like mad to watch it when it came out on Sky and is still nagging me mercilessly to take him to see the sequel. Now, ... Read review

A very good comedy action movie
Review of Rush Hour (DVD) by Simoncook1

Advantages: Great humour and karate combined in this movie
Disadvantages: Very similar to other comedy action movies

**WARNING** The following uses the word 'N*gg*r', however it is not used derogatively and is taken directly from the movie. It is an example of how two different cultures can use a word differently **WARNING** It seems that many of America's top comedians are moving from the comedy business into the movie business. With the Wayan brothers, Will Smith and many others already successful in this move it became inevitable that Chris Tucker would ... Read review

Rush Hour 2 Action all the Way
Review of Rush Hour (DVD) by murky5

Advantages: Fast funny and action packed
Disadvantages: Didn't want it to end

...having watched his latest movie, Rush Hour 2, I don’t think I will be on my own. This film starts off on a fast pace and just keeps on going. The action and laughs come thick and fast and I would think that the latest cinematic pairing of Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker have a way to go before they pass their sell by date. For those of you that missed the original Rush Hour film it basically brought together Chan and Tucker as two cops from ... Read review

cometh the hour cometh the man
Review of Rush Hour (DVD) by utero

Advantages: sometimes amusing, packed with extras
Disadvantages: not too original

Rush Hour is one of those films that isn't very original. If it isn't done in the right way then it can end up as a very bad film. However with a few good elements it can be entertaining. Rush Hour is a mix of both. The film is made worthwhile by Jackie Chan's funny charm and very exciting martial arts scenes. However Chris Tucker is incredibly annoying and does the film no favours. The plot involves some chinese gangland thing with some stolen ... Read review

Rush or Slush
Review of Rush Hour (DVD) by Chris-Duncan

Advantages: Good original to follow on from
Disadvantages: Poor plot and low on laughs

Rush Hour 2 Join Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker for a second rush as they trade places for the start of the second movie. This time round Tucker finds himself as the fish out of water as he visits Hong Kong for a holiday but gets dragged into Chan’s investigation of the bombing of the American Embassy by the Triads. In summary the plot is paper thin (as expected) but what is disappointing is the lack of laughs. The entire character interaction ... Read review

Rush hour is very entertaining
Review of Rush Hour (DVD) by abymulla70

Advantages: extra features, deleted scenes
Disadvantages: none whatsoever

Rush Hour is such a cool, funny and entertaining film which can be seen by family, friends and children too, the acting is good, the actors are funny and the storyline is well written. Rush Hour is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. The transfer is flawless with little sign of dirt or grain. The colours are all soild. I dare you to find any faults. As for the sound well there are Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 mixes. For an action film this ... Read review

Never touch a black mans radio
Review of Rush Hour (DVD) by Plissken

Advantages: Great chemistry between Chan and Tucker. Ridiculously entertaining.
Disadvantages: About as substantial as...(Insert your own Chinese food joke here)

'Rush Hour' is just one of those films I really wanted to hate. What's this? An action comedy featuring mismatched cops, and those mismatched cops are played by Jackie Chan and motor mouth Chris Tucker? Give it a rest! Anyone, like me, expecting a pale rip off of either '48hrs' or 'Lethal Weapon' will be pleasantly disappointed. Once the plot is dealt with - something to do with a kidnapped kid, I think - and you latch on to the 'Rush Hour' vibe, ... Read review
