Original Poster is a clever man.
This film is one reason why I still have faith in mankind! Of course, it was made in the good old days...brings back memories. There, that's enough of a reason if a ten year old film can make you feel nostalgic it must be good.
So many great quotes, hilarious scenes and beautiful shots.

Three reasons why this film is not the perfect movie:
1. It has Chris Tucker.
2. It has Jackie Chan.
3. It's not "Goodfellas".
It is a well spent 90 minutes. and I can take my grandkids.
Be yourself, everyone else is taken
This movie is quality!I can watch it over and over and never get bored of it!
shareYou can really tell which people are "glass is half-empty" types int topics like these. This movie is a perfect example on why I go to comedy films. The movie itself is not perfect but it's still pretty cool! The entire series is comedy gold, IMHO.
shareSometimes Jackie's lines were delivered awkwardly...they seemed forced or contrived. I understand that english is not his first language, but the way he spoke the lines still gave me the feeling that it was "acted" rather than "genuine". Otherwise, I don't have anything else to criticize.
Some of the action scenes were really original and well-done...I liked the one at the beginning where Jackie tries to get away from Chris by grabbing onto the traffic sign from the top of the tour bus, then jumps onto a truck and slips into an open cab window...really smooth!
it doesnt matter about his english, which i thought was brilliant, it just seemed like he was a person struggling to get the language spot on, which he was, i think.....
*edit: as this was in the plot, a Chinese man in America, he has lived his life in China, why would he need to use English?*
i cant say a bad word against this movie, it is thouroughly enjoyable, i just dont understand people who, if a movie isnt perfect, or doesnt have boobies flying all over the place, says its crap...
why cant people just sit down and ENJOY the occasional movie, opposed to critiquing it, judging it, it entertains me even to this day (lol, only 9 yrs old) and therefore imho is a very good movie....
the stuntwork is incredible, the comedy is spot on, the camera work is great, it just looks good, makes me laugh and chris tucker/jackie chan are a wonderful duo!!!!
immaturity and your life is alot like wine, the older it gets, the more it costs you
hmmmmmmm
good movie, but lets not go nuts ey?
The perfect movie does not exist and even if it did it certainly wouldnt be Rush Hour.
shareThe fight scenes are too short. Jackie's at his best when he REALLY cuts loose, a la Drunken Master, Police Story, or even Shanghai Knights.
