Rush Hour (New Line Platinum Series)

Amazon.com

The plot line may sound familiar: Two mismatched cops are assigned as reluctant partners to solve a crime. Culturally they are complete opposites, and they quickly realize they can't stand each other. One (Jackie Chan) believes in doing things by the book. He is a man with integrity and nerves of steel. The other (Chris Tucker) is an amiable rebel who can't stand authority figures. He's a man who has to do everything on his own, much to the displeasure of his superior officer, who in turn thinks this cop is a loose cannon but tolerates him because he gets the job done. Directed by Brett Ratner, Rush Hour doesn't break any new ground in terms of story, stunts, or direction. It rehashes just about every "buddy" movie ever made--in fact, it makes films such as Tango and Cash seem utterly original and clever by comparison. So, why did this uninspired movie make over $120 million at the box office? Was the whole world suffering from temporary insanity? Hardly. The explanation for the success of Rush Hour is quite simple: chemistry. The casting of veteran action maestro Jackie Chan with the charming and often hilarious Chris Tucker was a serendipitous stroke of genius. Fans of Jackie Chan may be slightly disappointed by the lack of action set pieces that emphasize his kung-fu craft. On the other hand, those who know the history of this seasoned Hong Kong actor will be able to appreciate that Rush Hour was the mainstream breakthrough that Chan had deserved for years. Coupled with the charismatic scene-stealer Tucker, Chan gets to flex his comic muscles to great effect. From their first scenes together to the trademark Chan outtakes during the end credits, their ability to play off of one another is a joy to behold, and this mischievous interaction is what saves the film from slipping into the depths of pitiful mediocrity. --Jeremy Storey

Rush Hour is one of best buddy-cop movies.......2007-03-13

I get a kick out of this movie. The way Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker interact and play off each other is so hilarious. Jackie Chan's Hollywood career got a second break with Rush Hour and the plot has more substance than most Jackie Chan movies.

We got James Carter, played by Chris Tucker, who is an LAPD detective with a penchant for dancing Michael Jackson-style while blowing up blocks of buildings. This gets him into trouble with his sergeant who, at the request of the FBI, assigns him to a case where he ends up being a nurse maid to Lee (Chan), a Chinese detective who has just broken up a huge smuggling ring in Hong Kong. The FBI want Carter and Lee to not interfere with the investigation of the kidnapping of the Chinese Consul's daughter, but Lee and Carter do anyway, in their own charismatic manner and triumph where the FBI fail.

The martial arts expertise of Jackie Chan is fantastic and shows that his truly a master in what he does. Chris Tucker does a terrific job of playing the off the wall LAPD officer who trys to keep Chan's character out of the way of an investigation. Chris Tucker is an extremely well disciplined actor, and seems to go very smoothly with the styles of Jackie Chan. Not only is the action part of the movie good, the now common jokes in martial arts movies are all there, including many racial/cultural difference jokes not necessarily making fun of races, but the cultural differences. Rush Hour is nothing to take seriously, but it is fun to watch.

One of my favorite movies!.......2007-03-07

Detective Carter (Chris Tucker) who has the fastest mouth in the L.A. police force has an assignment to track down a Chinese Consular's daughter with the help of Hong Kong detective Lee (Jackie Chan). The Two aren't getting along quite well for Carter thinks everything is his way, for Lee the mission is important but eventually along the way they become friends and must stop the international criminal mastermind behind this.

Phenomenal and entertaining action-comedy that has the right ingredients to make one of 1998's most popular movies! Chan and Tucker make a great team together. The movie has a perfect mix of action, laughs, and stunts from Chan, it's the best work Brett Ratner has done and the sequel is even better.

The DVD has crisp picture and sound with cool extras like audio commentary, isolated score, Deleted scenes, featurette, a short film, the theatrical trailer, DVD-Rom extras and music video by Dru Hill.

Rush Hour 2 retains the appeal of its popular predecessor, so it's easily recommended to fans of its returning stars, Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. The action--and there's plenty of it--starts in Hong Kong, where Detective Lee (Chan) and his L.A. counterpart Detective Carter (Tucker) are attempting a vacation, only to get assigned to sleuth a counterfeiting scheme involving a triad kingpin (John Lone), his lethal henchwoman (Zhang Ziyi, from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), and an American billionaire (Alan King). Director Brett Ratner simply lets his stars strut their stuff, so it hardly matters that the plot is disposable, or that his direction is so bland he could've phoned it in from a Jacuzzi.

At its best, Rush Hour 2 compares favorably to Chan's glossiest Hong Kong hits, and when the action moves to Las Vegas (where Don Cheadle makes an unbilled cameo), the movie goes into high-pitched hyperdrive, riding an easy wave of ambitious stuntwork and broad, derivative humor. Echoes of Beverly Hills Cop are too loud, however, and stale ideas (including a comedic highlight for Jeremy Piven as a gay clothier) are made even more aggravating by dialogue that's almost Neanderthal in its embrace of retro-racial stereotypes. Of course, that's what makes Rush Hour 2 a palatable dish of mainstream comedy; it insults and comforts the viewer at the same time, and while some may find Tucker's relentless hamming unbearable, those who enjoyed Rush Hour are sure to appreciate another dose of Chan-Tucker lunacy. --Jeff Shannon

And they dare to make another! How does Chris Tucker .......2007-08-02

keep getting movie deals? He's terrible, he's got to be pleasuring someone higher up in the biz. Jackie Chan isn't a great actor, but he has some appeal and he knows his kung fu. But, Tucker has nothing going for him. And why, do producer/directors think racism sounds better coming out of black person's mouth? It's all stupid and ignorant baloney and always was. Stop please, and start making better movies.

"I'm on vacation man, and I want some moo-shoo!" "Moo-Shoots? You hungry?".......2007-06-13

I really enjoyed the first Rush Hour but you can tell that Jackie Chan was given more control over the action in this one, the action is 10 times better than in the first one while the comedy stays at the same level.

Chris Tucker plays James Carter, a high-strung, motor-mouthed LAPD detective whose captain (Philip Baker Hall) is tired of his antics - and, yes, we've all heard that one before. The captain selects Carter as a candidate for an embarrassing job as a "babysitter" for Hong Kong detective inspector Lee (Jackie Chan), who has been invited to America by the Chinese consul (Tzi Ma), whose young daughter was violently kidnapped. The thing is, the FBI doesn't want a foreigner interfering with their investigation, so that's why they need somebody to "babysit" Lee and keep him away from the Feds.

On the surface, this is a routine, familiar cop movie combining some unoriginal elements - the "fish out of water", the "culture clash", the "mismatched partners" bits, etc. However, it turns out to be genuinely entertaining and funny; Tucker and Chan turn out to be a good team (Tucker is particularly funny), and they are surrounded by a capable supporting cast. One thing I must say is that the identity of the mysterious villain "Juntao" will be unfortunately easy for some to guess...but I won't say more than that.

Being a huge Chan fan I tend to enjoy his Hong Kong movies better where he has complete control and, although the plot sometimes suffer, the action is far superior to anything Hollywood has to offer (check out Legend of Drunkin Master). You can see he was given some control over the action in "Rush Hour 2," making it his best American movie to date. One of these days Hollywood will get smart and give Chan complete control over a movie (action wise, with his own people) with the big Hollywood budget and he will make the best action movie EVER!!

First, keep in mind that this is not a review of the movie, it is a review of the item listing.

It looks like Amazon is charging $26.96 for both of these movies. They are both great movies, but I can't see myself paying that much for them. Why? Because you can get them cheaper if you buy them seperately... from the same website!

If you love these movies, then buy them seperately... Amazon offers them at a very low price ($7.99 or $9-10 for in-store pickup) and either way around, you can get them for cheaper than they are offered here in the "Rush Hour/Rush Hour 2" bundle.

I almost "wasted" $26 on this when I could easily save almost $7 in cash! Hopefully you'll find this tip useful.

Great set of movies........2002-05-01

This is a very good set of movies to buy. Rush Hour, Blade, and Spawn are great movies, and what I've seen of The Corruptor was exciting also. Buy these if you like lots of action in a few great movies.

Lots of action, with lots of DVD extra footage.......2001-11-11

Blade proposes a new twist on the vampire myth. On the extras, you see the design of the character and his custom-made weapons. Nice to see Kristofferson again.

Rush Hour is lots of fun. On the extras, you see the process on how Jackie sets up an action sequence. There's some hilarious
bloopers too.

The Corruptor is the story of a policeman's compromises and the rookie who is thrown into this situation.

Spawn is an excellent live-action adaptation of the comic. Unlike the theater and TV versions, this DVD is rated "R". The jokes are dirtier and the fights are more graphically violent. Enjoyed the interviews with McFarlane very much.

Nicely priced package. Lots of extras on all 4 DVD. Good value.

Better to Buy Seperately.......2001-06-20

[Price]Rush Hour - Great Movie, very funny, highly recomendable...... [Price]The Corruptor - Good Movie, rather serious....... [Price]Blade - Decent Movie for action fans, rather gorry for the weak stomatch...... [Price]Spawn - Fair movie, good for those who like comic book remakes. Definitely not for kids. Very gory and a touch satanic.......

...

It's worth it!.......1999-11-03

Blade, The corruptor, RushHour, and Spawn these 4 dvd run for 20 bucks a piece and for some smart person to throw all 4 of them in a box set for that price must of lost there job get it
