Sequels often aren't able to live up to the expectations that are placed on it by the film loving population, however this particular film doesn't disappoint. Expectations were great, especially upon Chris Tucker (playing James Carter) who became the highest paid actor in Hollywood at the time of filming.
Rush Hour is an action packed comedy which follows Hong Kong's Inspector Lee (played by Jackie Chan) as he attempts to infiltrate the triad headed by Kenji (played by Hiroyuki Sanada) , whom which he grew up with in an orphanage. Once again, Lee's partner James Carter is not shy to flaunt his flamboyant personality throughout the movie, which often gets the dynamic duo into sticky situations.
Their antics are great for those that enjoy slapstick and also appeals as an action movie with the inclusion of Jackie Chan in the cast. Although the plot is somewhat unrealistic, this film was not created for the purpose of being a sophisticated plot, but rather as 90 minutes of jam-packed entertainment. If you have not seen this film yet, it is a must (obviously after watching the other 2 films) as you will be treated to comedy in the form of both slapstick and more sophisticated one-liners whilst Jackie Chan busts some sweet moves.
