Trivia:
According to director Brett Ratner, this film is the first one released in the U.S. featuring 'Jackie Chan' in an English-speaking role without any kind of dubbing. According to Ranter, before 'Rush Hour', Jackie always had his voice dubbed over in his English-speaking roles because of his uncertainty in speaking the language. For this movie; however, Ratner convinced Jackie to forgo the voice-over as it would lend to the authenticity of the character. more

This movie is pure comedy from the beginning to the end. You will have a good laugh thanks to Chris Tucker in his role of Carter, a clumsy LA cop. The city of Los Angeles is spectacular and is a great scenario for this entertaining movie. Jackie Chan at its best kicking asses everywhere with an outstanding humble attitude. The main reason why I like this movie is the wonderful duo they play, constantly arguing about everything, but in the meantime they are loyal partners. The great diversity there is in America singles out in a city like Los Angeles when we go through Chinatown. And fortunately, the movie brings us out there. Interesting cultures melt into a huge variety of ethnicities that make anything possible to happen. This is why America is so interesting and wonderful.
All in all, this is a worth-seeing Hollywood movie and probably you would like to watch it several times!
