It's in the actual movie you actual homosexual. Tucker makes Asian jokes about Jackie, Jackie makes black jokes about Tucker, Tucker makes black jokes about himself, Jackie says Black person
This is the humor of the film. You telling me this is not a part of what people enjoyed? You wish, liberal pussy
Those are genuinely real reasons. Born in 96 but you can tell the 80s and 90s were simply going in a better direction because movies like Rush Hour and Lethal Weapon were big successes.
>you can tell the 80s and 90s were simply going in a better direction because movies like Rush Hour and Lethal Weapon were big successes.
jesus fricking christ lmao
It's a buddy cop movie , but the dynamic is different because it's an Asian guy and Black guy. Jackie, also wasn't some white-washed asian man, he was a guy that fought and did things in his own way which was different from the white guy in these movies.
Tucker, was at his peak at this time as well. Most importantly, they addressed the racial tension in a funny way that didn't over encompass the entire movie. They're played for jokes for most part and it lets the plot play out rather than be the entire plot.
At the end of the day, the movie is about two cops with different backgrounds who have to learn to work together to save a little girl. And both actors had the chemistry to pull it off.
Saying they have chemistry is just circular logic. Why they had chemistry is because they fundamentally weren't acting. They really were complete opposites. Jackie really didn't understand much English. Chris really had no idea about anything Jackie did. And offset they were completely the same. Jackie would come in early, get his makeup done, very professional. Chris would come late, talk loud and fast, and play around
People will say I'm exaggerating but considering that the LA race riots happened just 6 years before rush hour, how cool things were after rush hour, and how things got so much worse after rush hour... My only conclusion is that rush hour was keeping race relations together
>Jackie Chan's latest movie is an aged stuntman past his prime who divorced his wife and is estranged from his daughter >in one scene he cries as he watches his stunts, which are his real stunts from his films when he was younger
Bros.... Is Jackie okay?
>both leads are minorities >tucker is the blackest black you could black on screen >Jackie is the most Chinese you could ever get while still not being subtitled >Cinemaphile loves it
Conclusion: Cinemaphile strongly supports seeing diverse casts and cultures
>a different time
Yes. I just wish they would take it one step farther and explicitly admit to people that the different time these movies were made in was a better time than whatever the frick is happening right now
9 out of every 10 buddy cop movies are kino because it is the GOAT movie format. The only bad ones I can think of are the supernatural one, the one with mark wahlberg, and the one with Jay Leno.
Insane chemistry from two actors at their peak. This and Rush Hour 2 are actual legit comedy-action kino. Two of the best movies ever made unironically.
Kenny >successful business owner >wealthy >has wife and kids >knows Kung fu >gets to dress as his favourite movie character everyday
Kenny was living the life
This was the first “adult” movie my parents let me watch and despite most of the jokes going over my head I knew it was kino even as a yute
It’s equal parts Hong Kong action, 90s comfiness, and black humor
Idk, it's just fun and lighthearted. Jackie and Chris work really well together and play off of each other perfectly. It has good action alongside the comedy. The racial humor is there but isn't overbearing. It's just a kind of movie we will never get again because millenials/zoomers can't write good comedy and think everything has to be meta humor/political humor.
Rush Hour 1 and 2 were some of my favorite movies as a kid. It's hard to accept that you wouldn't be allowed to make a movie like this anymore in the current year. Makes me feel like today's version of tolerance has somehow become actually less tolerant than in the past.
Watching it with my brother and laughing we still watch it together yearly still has it’s charm so do a lot of older movie when people weren’t so up there ass in social media and pushing shit
It was a better time. Race was hardly an issue, people were finally getting over it, then someone figured out it might be bad for them if the low and middle class slaves start to unite.
Back then we didn't have the Black person fatigue.
Actual reasons chuds.
It's in the actual movie you actual homosexual. Tucker makes Asian jokes about Jackie, Jackie makes black jokes about Tucker, Tucker makes black jokes about himself, Jackie says Black person

today's left is literally incapable of understanding your post anon. It is why the world is so shit now
>you can tell the 80s and 90s were simply going in a better direction because movies like Rush Hour and Lethal Weapon were big successes.
jesus fricking christ lmao
You could have race jokes without people calling it racist. This was before social media. People just wanted to see the Jackie Chan movie
Speaking of Jackie Chan, I watched Gorgeous the other day. Didn't expect a rom com with CGI dolphins to have one of his best fight scenes
mariah carey
Racism

>I said whats up, my Black person

>solves US-china post cold war relations and LA race relations simultaneously
simple as

Jokes with racial humor kept the peace in the 90's. As soon as woke left politics tried to ban this stuff, the streets went into flame
>Jackie Chan's latest movie is an aged stuntman past his prime who divorced his wife and is estranged from his daughter
>in one scene he cries as he watches his stunts, which are his real stunts from his films when he was younger
Bros.... Is Jackie okay?
I wouldn't worry about him
His name is Lee God damn it.
Needed to start his own little stunt school, in China of course where he could beat it into them like it was into him.
>What made it so kino?
Diversity, main actors are two colored guys, no wh*te people.
>both leads are minorities
>tucker is the blackest black you could black on screen
>Jackie is the most Chinese you could ever get while still not being subtitled
>Cinemaphile loves it
Conclusion: Cinemaphile strongly supports seeing diverse casts and cultures
It was a different time
yeah, that is why I love pic related so much
>a different time
Yes. I just wish they would take it one step farther and explicitly admit to people that the different time these movies were made in was a better time than whatever the frick is happening right now

Most buddy cop movies are just alright. The few good ones are Die Hard and MiB. But Rush Hour was really something else.
Too bad you can no longer shop cops in any good light unless it's a gay pic fighting against corrupt white cops
The Other Guys is kino.
>First I get a bullshit assignment, now Mr. Rice-a-Roni don't even speak American.
>Carter shut up, or I b***h slap you back to Africa!
war
huh
what iiiis it good fo
It was made before libtards could ruin it
Insane chemistry from two actors at their peak. This and Rush Hour 2 are actual legit comedy-action kino. Two of the best movies ever made unironically.
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS??
To this day I don't know who Chelsea Clinton is
>non american detected
LMAO, heard it in Tucker's voice just now.
Rush Hour is unbeatable.
The GOAT of end credits
Marvel can suck a bag of dicks, THIS is how you do end credits
Rush Hour no good
Rush Hour 2 very good
Rush Hour 3 I dont want no troubo
>Jackie kick it!
>Ok Chris Tucker!
>His name is Lee godamit
Fun fact: Don Cheadle learnt Cantonese just for that cameo because he is a big Hong Kong movie fan
Why is it called Rush Hour?
it takes place in an area of the country known for "rush hour" traffic and it's a high paced action comedy
Someone said those two words in the movie once
>Kenny you embarrassin yourself, you a black man with a Chinese restaurant on Crenshaw
Kenny
>successful business owner
>wealthy
>has wife and kids
>knows Kung fu
>gets to dress as his favourite movie character everyday
Kenny was living the life
He a weaboo.
Shut up Little Chang
This was the first “adult” movie my parents let me watch and despite most of the jokes going over my head I knew it was kino even as a yute
It’s equal parts Hong Kong action, 90s comfiness, and black humor
It had great aesthetics too
>Jackie Chan
>Chris Tucker
>Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker together
Kino was the only possible outcome.
jackie chan is just kino
him and action comedies are a match made in heaven
GEFILTE FISH
The fact it wasn't made in the zoomer era. Cause it wouldn't be able to.
It wasn't kino at all
It was a shitty, shitty movie.
It was just a generic 'le kung fu and le homie humor'
Watch Lethal Weapon 1-4 for a proper buddy comedy
Funny script and good acting. Who would've thought, huh?

Perfect chemistry between the leads
I prefer the original
>Black funny criminal teams up with with stressed out white cop
>Same as funny black cop teams up with kung-fu chinaman
Come on anon.
For me it's The Tuxedo.
This is a Jackie Chan thread or what??
They need to remake rush hour with /ourguy/ Simu
here's his partner
Black Gaddafi?
Black folk and chinks. Big fricking deal.
racism hadn't gotten its resurrection yet
The 90s

Diversity
Simply put it's his first real American movie.
Yes I know there was Rumble in the Bronx first but it was still a hong kong movie even if it was shot in Vancouver or whatever
