Rush Hour (DVD) * * * * *

(One of the funniest films I have ever seen)

This is definitely the funniest film I have ever seen, watching it over seven times, it never looses its comedy. After the kidnapping (yet again) of a young girl, Jackie is brought in from Hong Kong to work for the FBI. But the FBI think he's just another nuisance so they palm him off on the unsuspecting Chris Tucker, a black cop with high ambitions. Neither wants to work with the other, but they are forced to join forces, capture the ruthless enemy and get back the girl.

Full of loads and loads of fun and laughter, this martial arts comedy is superb. The fight scenes are great, and Jackie does yet more daring stunts to woo us more and more. Falling over 300ft and sliding down the red sheet, landing on top of Chris is wonderful. And what's more, its in English too.

You'll never see a film like this ever, or will we? Rush hour2 is is now done and dusted and if I may say so, it was even better than this one, which is very difficult to do. Maybe 3 and 4 will make it an unmatchable group of sequels.
