Description

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.

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

    OK, 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 about any buddy cop movie where the duo is salt and pepper and entirely mismatched. And those movies are usually always fun in any action or comedy genre... except when it comes to the ones with the dogs. So you have the chemistry with a solid cultural and language barrier ala Red Heat. The difference is that this amps up the comedy to, honestly, to a point that is utterly hysterical. Especially given the clear chemistry between Chan and Tucker. The timing is great and the out takes are even better. It's a hysterical pleasure to watch... ... just stay away from the sequels because, honestly, I don't know what happened there.
