Story Line
When Hong Kong Inspector Lee is summoned to Los Angeles to investigate a kidnapping, the FBI doesn't want any outside help and assigns cocky LAPD Detective James Carter to distract Lee from the case. Not content to watch the action from the sidelines, Lee and Carter form an unlikely partnership and investigate the case themselves.
“The fastest hands in the East meet the biggest mouth in the West.”

•10/14/2017A Jackie's Chan movie. Expect a mix between action and comedy, add Chris's Carter character, and you'll have a movie that you'll always laugh at no matter how many times you have seen it before.
The whole three parts of it are worth watching.

•6/4/2018Maybe the most overrated buddy cop movie of all time.
_Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._

•1/12/2023OK, heavy bias here, but I'm just going to come out and say that Chan and Tucker should have stopped after this one. Rush Hour was funny, Rush Hour 2 and especially 3 where horrible.
Really it's like Lethal Weapon, or, in fact, it's like just abou...
