One of the better “buddy” flicks to appear in the waning years of the 20th century.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 14, 2023

This movie holds up so well. Despite some stereotypical things, I still had a great time watching this.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 30, 2023

Non-stop laughs that hold up very well. There's a timeless element to this movie that is effortlessly entertaining.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 30, 2023

Endlessly quotable and completely memorable, Rush Hour stands head and shoulders above most buddy-cop movies.

| Original Score: 8/10 | May 18, 2022

Chan plays his typical good guy, scripted to be serious in the right places yet silly at others, embodying the perfect, composed straight man to Tucker's relentless joker.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 24, 2020

A brief sequence where he weaves between tour bus, truck and camper van views like a kung-fu version of Singin' In The Rain. But Chan's physical poetry is boxed inside narrow margins.

| Jan 16, 2019

The fast-talking Tucker and quick-kicking Chan are a surprisingly good team that manages to deliver a stylish and fun combination of highly choreographed action and comedy.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 16, 2019

Where Chan and Tucker should work together and complement each other, they only end up vying for the spotlight, producing a whole that is a lot less than the sum of its parts.

a big heap of fun

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 5, 2014

Chan...can make something out of nothing, while Ratner's chief skills seem to be talking himself into the director's chair and hiring the right people. [Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 29, 2010

A lightweight, but highly enjoyable buddy cop movie elevated by its two lead stars.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 15, 2010

Buddy cop fun amidst explosions, bad guys, and language.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 19, 2010

The action and stunt scenes are not on a par with those in Chan's HK efforts.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 3, 2009

By the book buddy-buddy movie. This is a weakly scripted parade of set-pieces which aren't as exciting as regular Jackie Chan films.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2008

No matter how much or how fast Tucker talks, you can't help feeling that his co-star has made a fatal mistake.

| Oct 14, 2008

The contrast between Tucker's motormouth and Chan's man of few words should be funnier, but the plot -- which is cliched without quite becoming self-reflexive -- and the uneven pace dampen most of their moments.

| Oct 14, 2008

Brash, stupid and surprisingly watchable, this picture puts just the slightest spin on the 48 HRS.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 18, 2008

...manages to coast on the palpable chemistry between the two leads...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 19, 2007

How sad that the great Chan is presumed to need this kind of dumbed-down buddy movie.

| Original Score: C- | Aug 13, 2007

Much of the best dialogue, you suspect, was improvised by Tucker and Chan, who seem truly taken with each other and make a delightful, ordinary-extraordinary pair.
