Rush Hour (1998) **

Hollywood apologizes for the racism in Lethal Weapon 4 with this amusing interracial/buddy/comedy/action/kung-fu coctail. Chan plays a Hong Kong cop coming to L.A. to find the kidnapped daughter of a Chinese consul. Tucker tags along for the ride, supplying a steady flow of one-liners. Refreshing and very funny, but light on chop-socky goodies.
