When a Chinese diplomat's daughter is kidnapped in Los Angeles, he calls
in Royal Hong Kong Police Force Detective Inspector Yan-Naing Lee (Jackie Chan) to assist the FBI
with the case. But the FBI doesn't want anything to do with Lee, and
they dump him off on the LAPD, who assign wisecracking Los Angeles Police Department Detective James
Carter (Chris Tucker) to watch over him. Although Lee and Carter can't
stand each other, they choose to work together to solve the case on
their own when they figure out they've been ditched by both the FBI and
police.
Review
If you're not a die hard fan of Jackie and haven't seen his Hong Kong movies, this is probably your favourite one from him.
Like Cal from debmul53.tripod.com says, "if Jackie Chan’s Hong Kong films can be compared to Domino’s Pizza (and I think they can), then his American films should be compared to supermarket own-brand frozen pizza. They’re ok, but they’re just not the real thing."
While Jackie Chan is actually funny and has cool fights and stunts in this movie, Chris Tucker is just loud... and funny as hell for that.
The movie's plot is basic and sounds like almost every 90s cop movie from Dimension Films or 20th Century Fox or New Line (who distributed the movie). There's nothing extraordinary about this one. It's kinda funny (at least the bloopers are), got good fight scenes with Chan, and... well... that's about it.
