RUSH HOUR!!! How does this one rank amongst the other ones?

[@OptmiusPrime114]

#1. Although, I prefer Rush Hour 2. I look forward to your reactions to the sequels!

[@khaleesimandy74]

It's definitely my favorite out of the 3. But every few months I watch all 3 they're hilarious.

[@waltz4life]

1 and 2 are equally great imo

[@k.delpino1124]

Exactly how as they were released. Just like that.

[@theshowstopper979]

[@JedHead77]

“This won’t work. I’m not 6’1”!”😂

[@Hudathan]

As a Chinese person, the intention of the movie was to call out the unnecessary cultural differences people get hung up on when they could be best buds if they just focused on similarities instead.

[@quantummusic2850]

"I was born in 90 this is not old" 2 seconds silence... leans in "you're old" LMAOOOOO CLASSIC its ok happens to us all brother.

[@lenindominguez1986]

Same 😊

[@DeadPiixxel]

but he's not old yet

[@CitizenoftheWorld1]

I was today years old when I found out Chris Tucker said "You want some fives with that?" instead of "You want some fries with that?"

[@Alivviegirl]

He does say fries, Chris is just wrong. It even says fries in the subtitles. 7:55

[@cents2mp]

I swear im still hearing fives lol

[@mbenoni7397]

@@AlivviegirlIt's fives; that mistake in the captions dates back to the original dvd release and seemingly imprinted itself on the minds of a generation.

[@matthewgillies7509]

@@Alivviegirl It's 100% FIVES, as "Fries" wouldn't make sense for the scene.

[@nickhewes6860]

​@@AlivviegirlWrong. It's fives, as in five dollar bills. He is talking about 100's, 50's, 20's, etc. Then, he makes the joke about 5's, with the joke being based on the common drive thru fast food saying, "Do you want fries with that(sandwich, burger, whatever.)"

[@atarka-7152]

Rush hour 2 is amazing, its probably my favorite of the 3

[@InugamiTheHound]

i use watch rush hour 2 so many times and i love jackie chan back in the day. my younger brother and I would watch bloopers over and over "his name is Lee, god damnit!"

[@EpicHelios83]

Yeah, one thing i always loved about Jackie Chan movies is they show his bloopers and stunts at the end of each movie. One movie he actually broke his foot, had to get a cast, and decided to get this sock that looks like his sneakers so he could put it over the cast and keep on filming with the broken foot. Dude was insane when he was younger. I think it was either "Rumble in the Bronx" or "Operation: Condor ". Both were great movies.

[@texasrattlesnake31637]

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT ARE COMIN' OUT OF MY MOUTH?!?" Classic.

[@ahmadjamalmughal47]

16:35 she has passed away such great actress.

[@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay]

4 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 4. Carter picking a verbal fight with the elderly Chinese cook 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.

[@kevincola3184]

At around 5:04, the old Taxi Driver is played by the legendary Martial Artist, Stuntman and actor Gene LeBell. I just realized it was him, lol.

[@Ghost8386]

The guy trying to sell the c4 is Sean penns brother Chris. He was also in the original footloose. Rest in peace Chris and Elizabeth 🕊

[@bhelliom3]

The “protect the ancient vases” scene is one of two I VIVIDLY remember from this movie, the punchline when it shatters made my stomach drop the first time I saw it as a kid, your reactions were perfect lol. I used to want to be an archaeologist so the idea of a centuries/millennia old piece of history exploding like that made me feel the character’s pain (even though I know it’s fake). The second thing about this movie: I can’t hear anyone grunt without responding “WAR. Huh. YEAH” either out loud or in my head, and it’s been like 20 years since I first saw this movie?

[@jimtams]

navi's flexing on us matching her makeup with the fire fit gyatdamn!

[@Indiana_Minotaur]

This movie introduced me to Jackie Chan. This movie trilogy never gets old on a rewatch. The master class of Chris Tucker & Jackie Chan; you could never ever had a more hilarious and yet effect pair up in a film.

[@jp3813]

Although this is Jackie Chan at 5% of his abilities. Hollywood insurance policies and director Brett Ratner didn't give JC as much freedom as in his Hong Kong movies like Who Am I (1998).

[@Indiana_Minotaur]

@@jp3813 True. I didn't mind that they didn't go all out because to me you don't want to overshadow your co-lead that your teaming up in your buddy film by doing all the crazy stuff

[@jp3813]

@@Indiana_Minotaur Well, in the Lethal Weapon franchise, Riggs didn't have to be held back just so Murtaugh could shine. Many argued that Chris was given too much leeway to do whatever he wanted in the RH sequels to the point that he didn't seem like a cop anymore. In a bts interview w/ Ratner for RH2, he said that he always held JC back b/c he thinks that Americans don't like long fight scenes. Yet The Matrix already proved him wrong at that point.

[@Indiana_Minotaur]

@@jp3813 To be fair I didn't watch Lethal Weapon; but I do know that there was equal screen presence in those films. I don't blame Ratner for the decision, because the audience at the time was different, and the atmosphere and climate in films were different. I would've also made the same mistake in holding Jackie back. As for the Matrix. I would say the reason why it was proven a lot of people wrong with long fight scenes is specifically because it was fast, and it was personal; and a lot of the films at the time weren't taking the "serious" route as serious because they just want to make film, get box office numbers and move onto sequel or another project.

[@jp3813]

@@Indiana_Minotaur Screen presence, yes. But Riggs gets the majority of the action. Both JC & Chris were given their fair share of fish out of water material. Ratner just favored Chris' specialty (stand up comedy) over JC's (action).

[@DarthCrizzy]

Should definitely consider “Shanghai Noon” with Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson

[@Kickinthescience]

Gotta love Juntaos Friday reference to Chris Tucker. "Put the gun down, fight like a man"

[@MoneyGist]

You can't have bloopers anymore since studios now have to toss in a mid-credits scene to advertise the coming sequel slash cinematic universe.

[@Acoustickitten1]

Speaking of Jackie Chan's music career, he was also the Singing Voice of Shang for the Cantonese and Mandarin dubs of Mulan!

[@Wannabe_Baby]

Nice of you to react to this just after Tom Wilkinson passed away. He played Juntao.

[@chs75]

RIP

[@Ultimaniacx4]

8:55 9:14 An interesting demonstration of what modern movies have done to people's expectations. It's an alien concept when the movie expects you to take it seriously without deflating every single scene with a quip or joke, even in a comedy.

[@dragonboymotions6890]

3:13 _Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?!_ 🤣🤣🤣

[@harmonicartist]

01:37 after moving to SoCal for a few years, this short dialogue is even funnier

[@MrFragar123]

The old Taxi driver earlier in the movie was played by "Judo" Gene Lebel. He was a pro wrestler, stuntman, actor, and Judoka. He was also a mentor to Ronda Rousey.

[@JedHead77]

He was also on the Green Hornet with Bruce Lee. He gave Bruce tips about grappling.

[@k.delpino1124]

25 years ago. 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. 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.

[@chadyepipia8383]

Didn't Jackie Chan became well known to the American people and audiences and other celebrities by 1995 I remember he won MTV movie awards for the lifetime achievement award and then early 1996 he became a successful born star with the release of Rumble in the Bronx. It was a big hit in America and then he presented at the Academy awards 1996 before he got rush hour. He was known before he did Rush hour and everybody loved him. Chris Farley was going to play Jackie's character Lee but they wanted Asian actor, so they got Jackie then after did you know Martin Lawrence was the original choice for Chris Tucker character. Jackie Chan offered it to him but he declined. Then Eddie Murphy, Will Smith, Wesley Snipes were also considered. Then Chris Tucker got it at the end.

[@k.delpino1124]

@@chadyepipia8383 he had the stardom with American audiences that he was looking for by the 1990s. But in small circles since the 1980s, his fandom was building since then. His other stuff was slowly but surely hitting video cassette, cable and also Saturday afternoon on regular television (Kung Fu theater, Action theater, etc). Took awhile. But as much as he wanted success here, those of us never forgot him.

[@FilmFanatic1980]

This will always hold a special place in my heart. one of my favorite movies of all time. Definitely react to Rush Hour 2 and bring the rest of the normies on!! The more people the better!

Such fond memories of my first call to come to school because my daughter got us both in trouble. She sang "War, what is it good for" as she tried a kick at a classmates head. When asked what she was doing, she snitched. With Without a doubt, I was watching Rush Hour with my daddy, the 6 year old said (now 31).

0:58 I never realized just how right he was, I mean look how they treated him & then he has to apologize but you know what? He did it for Soo-Yung so he earned himself a great partner/brother from another mother & a vacation after 5 years but you already know that. 2:14 Hey, I never knew R2D2 was in Fire Force! 4:10 Pretty childish but Lee pretended to be lost in translation so Carter did deserve that.😂 8:17, 9:33, 12:46, 19:14, 22:40 So salty & petty & they're even. 14:20 When you watch this at a young age, you become so angry for him & start cheering him on.

So, as far as I remember, the "what's up" scene was something Jackie Chan was completely unaware the n-word was offensive and when he learnt the context of it, he was deeply apologetic about it.

[@streaky81]

I worry for people who have never seen all 3 Rush Hour movies :p Also to answer the car at the airport question - to be fair, Lee probably was afforded diplomatic status and it's probably a private jet terminal; it's not actually all that implausible that his car could have been designated okay to allow on to the apron, I wouldn't say it was impossible, LAX has a private jet terminal (actually I think it has a few) away from the plebs where that could actually happen, even if not now possibly back then.

Up NEXT : *Money Talk*

[@jamesjanuary1235]

Yes

[@DocuzanQuitomos]

"The colors of the wires" True, it's a common trope of films that bombs have some sort color code that makes them easy to defuse; but this is (partially) in place for two reasons: one, so audiences back in the day got the concept of defusing a bomb more easily (it has to be just one wire) and it was (partially) based on a practices you should use in any electric circuit (use wires with different colors to visually know what part of the circuit you are working on that is, later on). A bomb expert in reality is trying to understand how the circuit of the bomb works; if it can cut the power to the circuit or cut the path that sends electricity to the explosives (to make them explode), the bomb is deactivated. But to do that, one has to understand which wire is doing what (and that's why crime would, very likely, never use color coded wires). For any other circuit, yes: there is a color code so any electrician understands at first glance how any circuit is wired. Nice reaction, see you in the next one.

[@BrocksterCraft]

My all-time favorite action movie. Have several VHS and DVD releases of the first one.🤣

[@Pavi132]

So Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights after the Rush Hour series?

[@k.delpino1124]

[@elvisvasquez7553]

The pure irony of them saying a movie like this could be made again, while at the same time going unnecessarily deep into how they used race jokes, is astounding 💀. It is a fact that a movie like this one cannot be made again. I'm pretty sure the whole point of those jokes is just to show how different cultures know so little of one another, and how funny it is when they try to learn a new culture. That's it.

[@rushking19]

Yeah a movie like this couldn't ne made again because so many people would get offended when the jokes wasn't ment to offend it was ment to be funny. Yeah some of it maybe could be dailed back but I'd still love to see some jokes like that in movies now adays .

[@HeShoeTooBig]

I love how Jackie does all his own Stunts. There's a big misconception about him because in some of his movies, he does use stunt doubles, but that's only because they have to do reshoots and they always do multiple cuts and then use a double to capture the scene from a different angle and Jackie isn't available. Sometimes the double's cut just comes out better for the film so they have to use that cut. But at the end of the day, he does every single stunt his characters are involved in. They just don't always make the final cut or they use a double for different angles.

[@n0body550]

In hollywood he ALWAYS had stunt doubles for certain stunts because of “insurance” Source: Jackie fuckin Chan
