Rush Hour was a decent buddy movie, but when I saw Rush Hour when it first came out I remembered seeing Lethal Weapon 4 about 2 months ago and it seemed like a rip-off. Both of these movies plots are real different, but it has a lot of the same things: Lethal Weapon 4 had Chris Rock, Rush Hour had Chris Tucker: Both movies had Chinese People: Lethal Weapon 4 had Jet Li, Rush Hour had Jackie Chan. Chris Tucker has one of the most aggravating voices I have ever heard, but he does have a couple of funny parts in this movie. The plot of Rush Hour is about the dumbest thing I have ever hear of, but its Jackie Chan's wonderful action scenes that save this movie. Jackie Chan is the best when it comes to action, because he does it all by himself. The chemistry between Chan & Tucker is good, but not how it was between Gibson & Glover. If your a huge fan of Jackie Chan's movies you might be a little disappointed in Rush Hour, but if this is your first time watching one of his movies you will be extremely impressed. Chris Tucker is mainly a Chris Rock rip-off which brings the movie down by his abnoxious voice. **1/2 out of ****
