Review
HILARIOUS. Whoever thought of putting Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan in a movie together is a certified legend. Everything about this movie SENDS. The 90s references, the physical comedy, the ostentatious dialogue, the music, it was all beyond hilarious. It makes fun of both Asian and American culture in equal measure, and the chemistry it finds is just great. It has action, it has comedy, it's probably the ultimate popcorn flick.
Spoiler Territory
Of course, Thomas being Juntao was a big ouch for Han, and he wasn't a BAD villain, but the movie was obviously dominated by the underdog protagonists. The airport scene always has me rolling on the floor. And the last scene at the gate with the FBI guys? Quoted that for YEARS.
