Rush Hour 1998 movie


Rush Hour is a 1998 martial arts/buddy cop film directed by Brett Ratner and starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. The film was successful, becoming the 7th top grossing film of 1998, with a gross of over $140 million dollars at the US box office.
Shortly after arriving in the United States to take up a diplomatic post in Los Angeles, Chinese consul Han's (Tzi Ma) daughter, Soo Yung, is kidnapped. Unwilling to trust the FBI, Han calls in his best friend, Detective Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) of the Hong Kong police.
The FBI doesn't want an outsider like Lee interfering, so they pawn him off on LAPD detective James Carter (Chris Tucker), a fast-talking and comically arrogant police officer with aspirations of joining the FBI. The two men do not remotely get along, but when they discover that they are being used, they set out to try to solve the case themselves.
They find out the person behind it is Juntao, a mysterious Chinese crime lord. Following a lead to Chinatown, Carter coincidentally sees the man in charge of Soo Yung's kidnappers. In reality, "Juntao" is not Chinese, but is in fact British Commander Griffin (Tom Wilkinson), a former Hong Kong police official and Han's supposed friend from the days of British colonial rule. After a fight in Chinatown, where they fail to rescue the girl, Griffin's henchman, Sang, (Ken Leung) angrily tells the consul that the ransom has been increased, and begins threatening Soo Yung's life. Disgraced, Lee and Carter are ordered off the investigation and Lee is sent back to Hong Kong. But before he gets on the plane, Carter convinces Lee to help him try and save Soo Yung. Lee is surprised, as before then Carter has seemed to care about no one but himself. The little girl is actually raped during a side scene which isn't show on screen.
The final confrontation comes at the opening of a Chinese art exhibition at the Los Angeles Convention Center, which Han is overseeing, while the ransom is being delivered. While Carter evacuates the crowd, Lee recognizes Griffin, who reveals his true identity and threatens to explode a bomb attached to Soo Yung if the delivery is interrupted. In a battle between Griffin's thugs on one side, and the F.B.I. and Lee and Carter on the other, Carter kills Sang, LAPD bomb expert Johnson (Elizabeth Peña) defuses the bomb and rescues Soo Yung, and Lee kills Griffin by causing him to fall from the center's roof.
Han and Soo Yung are reunited. Carter and Lee take a vacation together to Hong Kong—but Carter is shocked to hear that the flight will take 15 hours…and demands another seat as soon as Lee starts singing "War".


I thought the film was really amazing and funny, this shows no to racism just being buddies whether what nation are you in, you are still a buddy, thats what the movie shows, i like the story no racist.

Chris Tucker is the funniest man alive now a days since his money talks ive seen him a gifted talent and that was his versatility, his ability to scream and his ability to dance like a funny shit he is funny as hell, a good actor.

Jackie is more of a martial artist, he likes making his own stunts which was inspired so many of his fans just like robin padilla he has some scarrs from the accidents he suffered, he is a man of excelence i believe the movie had acquired billions of dollars, it is a box office hit in the hollywood i believe.

This movie, I consider this as one of my favorites.
