This is the Perfect Movie


i dare you to name one bad thing about it and i will firmly debunk it

i agree! this is an awesome movie. my favorite part was when jackie chan tells the girl in hong kong "dont worry america is a very friendly place" and then the scene goes to Los Angeles, CA where chris tucker is driving the corvette and you hear horns honking and he yells move you stupid something" and then after he shoots clives car and it explodes a song starts playing and chris tucker dances, waves his gun in the air and yells ya! that kept me laughing for the next two scenes! i own all the rush hour films they are hilarious!

Agreed with most comments here. I've probably watched this movie more than 50 times now and would not hesitate to watch it again on DVD, probably this coming weekend!

I'll be perfecetly honest here in saying that this film is one of the only films which makes the happiest when watching. 90 minutes of non stop fun IMO. i thank Bratt Ratner for making it.

Maddox is stale and contrived.

It's perfect in the way that it set out to be. I love all three of these movies. I could be in the foulest mood and these films could still make me smile. I hope they make Rush Hour 4 sometime soon.

Chris Tucker has a high, shrill, extremely annoying voice.

Please debunk.

Please debunk.
uhhhh, because that's his charm. I can't get that idiotic, line-forgetting, blooper-reel filling, high, shrill extremely annoying voice anywhere else... and I love it. This wasn't even his worst, see 5th Element for a real showcase of his 'talent'. Nothing to debunk. This statement is totally... bunk. (or whatever the opposite is)

My father kick your father ass all they way to china...

This movie is comedy gold. This is the PERFECT buddy comedy and it truly stand the test of time, the second one was good but not THAT good, the third one was a complete mistake.


This is a movie that proves how a comedy should be done... buddy comedies these days are just garbage.

Chris Tucker.

does that *beep* ever shut up?!


reply

It's not THAT great.

But I'll give credit where credit is due.

It rips off 48 Hours and Beverly Hills Cop in fine fashion.

Decent writing, a solid 5/10

I have to agree with most of the people here and say Chris Tucker. I know I might be in the minority when I say this but I actually prefer Shanghai Noon to Rush Hour I just find Owen Wilson slightly less annoying than Tucker.

Besides your lack of punctuation and capitalization?

Ok, here goes..

01) Jackie's stunts are SUB-PAR compared to his Hong Kong-stuff
02) Chris Tucker is sometimes really annoying
03) Bloopers-reel isn't long enough
04) Night scenes with black outfits
05) Plot is simplistic and predictable (kidnapped female? HOW ORIGINAL!)
06) The bad guy shockingly turns out to be the ONLY OBVIOUS BAD GUY
07) The plot takes a long time to start moving forward
08) The fight scenes are short and mediocre, compared to Jackie's Hong Kong-movies
09) Chris Tucker can't speak chinese
10) Pointless scenes, like the exploding phone in the empty building (ooh, explosion, so we don't have to justify it, because audiences love explosions)
11) My dad is better cop than your dad-stuff is incredibly childish
12) Jackie vs. FBI-agents fight could have been avoided (Jackie could've let them just take him to the bossman to explain everything)

Well, it's not a bad movie, but it's more like 'mediocre B-movie with watered-down action' than PERFECT anything.

You must have never seen Jackie's other, more interesting and better movies with ACTUAL stuntwork where he shows what he can really do - and not only him, his whole stunt team is incredible, with death-defying high jumps from tops of buildings into pools and such, and all that helicopter stuff in the Police Story sequels, and how about the Who Am I-skyscraper wallslide?

I guess it shouldn't be surprising that illiterate people are easily impressed by popcorn junk without real understanding of anything more cultivated. Like someone said, "your kind likes everything and understands nothing."
