Rush Hour
The fastest hands in the East meet the biggest mouth in the West.
When Hong Kong Inspector Lee is summoned to Los Angeles to investigate a kidnapping, the FBI doesn't want any outside help and assigns cocky LAPD Detective James Carter to distract Lee from the case. Not content to watch the action from the sidelines, Lee and Carter form an unlikely partnership and investigate the case themselves.

A Jackie's Chan movie. Expect a mix between action and comedy, add Chris's Carter character, and you'll have a movie that you'll always laugh at no matter how many times you have seen it before.
The whole three parts of it are worth watching.

Maybe the most overrated buddy cop movie of all time.

The difference is that this amps up the comedy to, honestly, to a point that is utterly hysterical. Especially given the clear chemistry between Chan and Tucker. The timing is great and the out takes are even better. It's a hysterical pleasure to watch...
... just stay away from the sequels because, honestly, I don't know what happened there.

Perfect kick off to a series. Sets up a world to operate in while also keeping the story interesting. Left some room to grow but also finished adequately.
