Rush Hour (1998) REACTION (Movie Commentary) 

"How do you get away with this?" It's 1998. We hadn't gone full psycho yet.

This is one of my favorite acting roles of Jackie. By far not his most impressive martial arts showcases but his range of almost an R rated action star with some spicy character traits made him adorable and real. This was a gem of a performance

Yes, I totally agree. It aged well and it's still as funny now as it was when it first came out.

As someone born in the 80s and having friends of all different backgrounds and races I totally understand when you talk about being able to have this type of humor without having to be so conscious of every joke and word spoken. Thank god for the original chapelle show, when we could all make fun of each other.

13:25 Jackie Chan is actually a real life artist with an incredible voice. You should look up some of his work online.

"I miss the '90s so much." Amen.

Elizabeth Pena was a very beautiful woman brother!! RIP

That opening clip had my dying watching it as an adult 😂. Watching it as a kid, I never realized what the "sweet and sour" reference meant lol.

Jackie’s only about an inch shorter than 5’ 10’’ Also at 15:05 he just more or less said, ‘should we bring him up here? Bring him up here’

25 years ago, ain't it amazing? After Lethal Weapon finished it's franchise, Rush Hour was the next Buddy Cop phenom around the corner. Jackie Chan, the world's biggest action star looking to make a bigger impact on American audiences. Chris Tucker of ATL, Georgia was among the young 'up and comers' in the comedy game with stand-up and a few films. This was not Jackie's first film with an American studio. He made 4 other films (1980-1985) and although with moderate success, he wasn't quite a star to American audiences yet. But by the 1990s, his films were on video and cable while certain notable films were being re-released into Americans theatres: Rumble In The Bronx, Supercop, Jackie Chan's First Strike, Operation Condor, Mr. Nice Guy and The legend of Drunken Master. dir. Brett Ratner signed on after working with Tucker in Money Talks (1997). Tucker was not the original choice for James Carter. Wesley Snipes was the closest to being involved and ended up making BLADE (same summer). Chan & Tucker turned out the action comedy of the year. With great chemistry, good sequences and laughs. The Def Jam soundtrack was one of the biggest of the decade and legendary composer Lalo Schifrin with another great score. RIP to Elizabeth Peña (Detective Tania Johnson), Philip Baker Hall (Captain Bill Diel), Chris Penn (Clyde), Judo Gene LeBell (Taxi Driver) and Tom Wilkinson (Juntao). Please watch the sequels and don't miss all those outtakes.

That's a '70's Corvette, which makes it very probably affordable at the time.

3 parts of this movie that really make me crack up laughing are: 1. When Carter starts dancing like Michael Jackson in the middle of the street after blowing the car up 2. When Lee and Carter are bonding and practicing disarming techniques while Edwin Starr's song "War" plays in the background 3. When Carter says "I know that ain't the bomb. Get that bomb away from me." Towards the end And trust me, the blooper reels for the remaining two movies are just as funny when it comes to the slip-ups with the dialogue. Also, RIP to Elizabeth Peña and Tom Wilkinson

so good. I don't think I ever laughed in a theater more than RH2

U need to watch shang hi noon and shanghi knights both good watches

Loved the reaction. It's refreshing to see an American who isn't so hung up about humour of yesteryear and is still able to enjoy things without overthinking it. I've seen others who feel somewhat unsettled by some of the jokes in this whole trilogy which is really unfortunate to see. I also miss the 90s so much. I'm always feeling sentimental about it these days. These old school movies genuinely do make us realise how much we've lost in the West but I try to remain optimistic despite the way things are going. It would be incredible to see a Rush Hour 4 but I know it won't live up to most people's expectations due to the political climate we're in but I'd like to be proven wrong.

They might actually make Rush Hour 4, according to IMDB. Also, Shanghai Noon (2000) and Shanghai Knights (2003), are two good-chemistry comedy movies. 👍

This movie is fantastic!! You should also check out Shanghai Noon with Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson. It’s another great comedy with a great duo!

Jackie Chan is actually 5.9-5.10 😂

oh hell yes! i hope you'll do the whole trilogy! 👍

Now you definitely gotta do Rush Hour 2

Rush Hour 4 is being released this year .

Yes Jackie can actually sing. I think he actually released music in China

Have you reacted to the LETHAL WEAPON movies yet? (1980s) Its Rush Hour BEFORE Rush Hour....

Great flick! Thanks.

Is it wrong of me to judge people by whether or not they think the original Bads News Bears is funny or not?!? It was outrageous speech even back in 1976, but oh, so funny. And, it still is!

Jackie Chan has an album out there somewhere.

ALOT of the "jokes" in the RUSH Hours serie wouldnt be Kosher anno 2024. The MOVIES would be CANCLED ! 🤪

Yes, you have been missing out! Sit your ass down and enjoy!

If you like Chris Tucker you might want to check out 'Money Talks' with him and Charlie Sheen.

Woohoo! 🎉 This is so freaking good. Ja McKee and Chris are comedy gold together. The next one, in my opinion, is even better.

11:38 » lol 😂😂😂

Those two were great together. Jackie Chan made so many great american comedies but I still love his Hong Kong stuff more. Supercop and Drunken Master are so damn funny and perfect

Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

Absolute cinema

Make sure you watch "Money Talks." Not enough people react to it, and it is a Damm shame.

Hello, nice to see you! 👋

It’s funny seeing you talk about how much chemistry they have cause they really didn’t in this movie Lmao. Jackie hated working with Chris because at the time (and still now to a lesser extent) Jackie’s English skills were quite poor and he couldn’t keep up with Chris’s ad-libbing and fast talking “urban” accent. They develop chemistry in the later movies but they don’t really have it here, they’re just professionals and fantastic actors.

hey with the no videos, you alright man? I hope you're doing ok. Best wishes to you and yours.

Can I make a suggestion? You think about Roll Bounce with Lik Bow Wow? I know I know but it’s really a good coming of age movie with a great soundtrack!

22:43

plz do more!

Like number 500! Alright. Carry on everyone.

"Money Talks" with Chris Tucker was hilarious too. 👍

Check out ‘True Romance’ please :)

Would love a chris tucker/Chris rock movie. Would probably win funniest movie of the decade or century.

Awesome 😂

this is a classic comedy franchise iconic make sure you watch the bloopers at the end of movie

Bro, I have been hooked on your channel for a while. Your reaction and observations are spot on ... funny and insightful. BUT, that copyright garbage who have plastered across half the screen make it unbelievably difficult to watch and focus. Other reaction channels I watch don't have it. What gives??? Please explain ...

You should react to some Hong Kong Jackie Chan like Police Story & Dragons Forever.

👍

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Rush Hour 1 and 2 are top level

I used to watch the movies u reacted to but now that they are “caped informed” I won’t. They only hurting themselves I think

Please consider watching Rush Hour 2...it is just as good, if not better than this one

Läckert, grabben!
