Rush Hour (DVD)

Rush Hour 2 is a totally outstanding film which has humour & action throught the film. This film made me laugh all the way through and by the sounds of it the rest of the audience as well. Even better than Rush Hour 1. The story is all about a chinees money making scheem where the triads have bought an American money press and have forged $100 bill plates and are trying to make as much money as possibe by opening a Casino in Vegas and smuggling the ...

Review of Rush Hour (DVD)

Actions films may not be for everyone but i think this one is. My Gran who is about 59 or so loved this film because it is just so well done. It has so many laughs from the start to the end and the action scenes with jackie chan are as good as always. As for disadvantages of this film i really cant think of any I think it is just that good. The story itself is about jackie chan being asked to find a mans daughter who has been kidnapped. This is where ...

This film is well funny. Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan team up in this gag a minute movie. Tucker and Chan both star as cops, 1 from America, 1 from Hong Kong who are looking for a missing child. The FBI want them kept out of the way but they research the case themselves leading to a great storyline twist as we findout who the unknown hong kong crime lord is. Featuring a lot of great typical Jackie Chan stunts and kung-fu action added in with Tucker's ...

Review of Rush Hour (DVD)

This is your typical hollywood action film starring Jackie Chan the kung fu expert. The storyline is about the kidnapping of a young chinese girl by the chinese triad and how Jackie's character is a police officer and comes from Hong Kong to try and recue her. The Kung fu fighting scenes are amazing and many of the part are funny but it is sometimes hard to understand what Jackie is saying as he has a accent. Overall I think this film is watchable ...

This is an excellent film. I'm not sure whether it's primarily a comedy or an action picture; there's plenty of both. There's enough going on to induce video-game-English-syndrome, in which you tensely twist your body this way and that as you watch. :-) Chan and Tucker work well together and seem to enjoy doing so, which helps. I forget whether I first saw this in the theatre or on video, but I think highly enough of it that I bought it. Your mileage ...

Review of Rush Hour (DVD)

...done. Directed by Brett Ratner, Rush Hour doesn't break any new ground in terms of story, stunts, or direction. It does reiterate the "buddy" movie - in fact, it makes films such as Tango and Cash seem utterly original and clever by comparison. So, why did this uninspired movie make over $120 million at the box office? Was the whole world suffering from temporary insanity? I doubt it. The explanation for the success of Rush Hour is quite simple: ...
...be able to appreciate that Rush Hour was the mainstream breakthrough that Chan had deserved for years. Coupled with the charismatic scene-stealer Tucker, Chan gets to flex his comic muscles to great effect. From their first scenes together to the trademark Chan outtakes during the end credits, their ability to play off of one another is a joy to behold, and this mischievous interaction is what saves the film from slipping into the depths of pitiful ...
