Leave your thoughts about Rush Hour.
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusEventually, of course, Lee and Carter must learn to work together, respecting one other’s methods and abilities, blah blah blah. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMatt PriggeWhat's surprising is that though this should be crap, and perhaps it is, it doesn't come off that way. The reason is because of Chan and Tucker. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanRush Hour...proves that old formulas can be made fresh with a few good ideas. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. Karten[Chan] should be doing his high kicks well into his sixties. Let's hope so. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenRush Hour, starring Chan and Chris Tucker as a couple of mismatched cops on the trail of a kidnapper, is more of an American film. Although it features plenty of Chan's mind-boggling physical agility, it really showcases the comic abilities of both men. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasRush Hour effectively teams Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in a formulaic but funny action comedy that should please fans of both stars. |
| San Francisco ChronicleBob GrahamThis good-natured comedy is set off by the high spirits of its stars. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThe great Jackie Chan deserves an A list director in a Hollywood film while he's still young enough to pull off his awe inspiring stunts. |
| IGN DVDR. L. ShafferA lightweight, but highly enjoyable buddy cop movie elevated by its two lead stars. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonChris Tucker...appears to be a white man in blackface plucked from a 1920s minstrel show. |
