Do you like sitting on the edge of
your seat? How about falling off it laughing? If so, "Rush Hour 1" is
the perfect movie for you. Although it didn't get the best reviews, it is perfect for those who like a good
comedy.
Just as in the first "Rush Hour," Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) and LAPD Detective James Carter
(Chris Tucker) are partners. This time, they are on vac
ation in China and Carter is looking for a good
time, but they are on the job again when a bombing at the American Embassy kills two customs agents.
Lee and Carter go to look for a suspect named Ricky Tan. For Lee this is a serious case because Tan
killed his father. Will Carter and Lee be able to capture Tan?
Another reason to see this movie perhaps is for the thrilling action, which includes karate fights with
Jackie Chan. One of my favorite scenes shows Carter and Lee in a massage parlor (店堂) when
everything goes crazy.
"Rush Hour 2" is, of course, really funny with Chris Tucker in the lead role. Chan and Tucker have
many clever jokes and remarks. Some of the jokes aren't enjoyed by the critics, but most will find them
entertaining.
With no doubt, the movie was great. I was filled with anxiety about what was going to happen next.
Many critics say that sequels (续集) are not as good as the original but this one is great. I especially
enjoyed it because the special effects are minimal so everything looks as though it actually happened. The
lighting effect is great as well as the sound.
So, if you are looking for a great action movie that leaves you at the edge of your seat and makes you
laugh quite a bit, you should rush to see "Rush Hour 2."
