Rush
Hour 2 (2001)
Crime fighting has
never been so hazardous--or funny. Chopsocky
action star Jackie Chan reteams with motormouth
Chris Tucker in this RUSH HOUR sequel as the
mismatched cop duo investigate several bombings in
Hong Kong attributed to Chinese gang leader Ricky
Tan (John Lone) and assassin Zhang Ziyi, whose
beautiful, balletic kick packs a head-ringing
wallop. A fish out of water in exotic Hong Kong,
Tucker talks his way into reams of trouble, saved
time and again by Chan's frantic fighting. Though
the two detectives are taken off the bombing case,
unpaid debts between Chan and the criminals lead
the detectives back to the U.S. and into the
middle of an international counterfeiting racket
that only Chan and Tucker can expose.

Rush
Hour (1998)
Unwilling to have
their investigation hampered by a meddling
outsider, the FBI assigns rogue LAPD detective
James Carter (Tucker) to the case. Seizing the
opportunity as a chance to impress the FBI and
ultimately join the Bureau, Carter
enthusiastically accepts -- until he discovers
that his mission is to "baby-sit" Lee
and keep him away from the case at any cost.
Carter, who is as arrogant and fast-talking as he
is street smart, covertly embarks on a one-man
crusade to solve the case. Of course, he must
first distract Inspector Lee.

numbers-running mentor to fight in Vietnam in 1968
only to return three years later to find no

Friday
(1995)
Thoroughly
charming and totally hilarious day-in-the-life
comedy in which co-writer Ice Cube plays the stoic
Craig opposite Chris Tucker's Smokey, a
brilliantly rendered hyperactive marijuana
enthusiast. The two twentysomethings, Craig
recently wrongly fired and Smokey terminally
slacking and scamming, barely make it through one
highly eventful day. Eloquent commentary on themes
like community, family, friendship, and violence
is seamlessly blended with lighter treatments of
young romance, bathroom emergencies, nosy
neighbors and much more. Casually impeccable
performances by the entire cast make this film a
standout.
