Rush Hour

Rush Hour The action genre had really gone sour ever since “Terminator II” died out. Action stars like Jean Claude Van Damme and Sylvester Stalone had basically made carbon copies of their previous hits and re-released them under different names. However, starting in 1998 with “Rush Hour”, starring Chris Tucker, Jackie Chan, and moving on to hits like “The Matrix”, the action genre is gaining new life with unique mixes of stars and plots to add …

…around Jackie. Sure, Tucker can get on your nerves at times and you can tell that he's trying to be the next Eddie Murphy, but he provides more than enough laughs to make the film work. While Jackie Chan never seems to do the same action scene twice, he makes action movies fun again, instead of just violent and deadly, and it is Chan who puts what real fun there is in ''Rush Hour.''
