Rush Hour is a 1998 buddy-cop/comedy film and the first installment of the Rush Hour film series.On the last night of British rulership in Hong Kong, Detective Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan), a close friend of Consul Han (Tzi Ma), confiscates stolen artifacts from Crime Lord Juntao. Six months later, Juntao abducts Consul Han's daughter Soo Yung (Julia Hsu) in Los Angeles. Lee flies in from Hong Kong to assist the FBI.The FBI requests help from the LAPD to "babysit" Lee - who gladly use the opportunity to get rid of Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker).The first movie was a major success and became the 7th top-grossing film of 1998, with a gross of over $141 million at the U.S. box office ($269 million when adjusted for 2019 inflation). The combination of motor-mouthed Tucker with Chan's gravity defying stunts proved to be a winning combination, in no small part due to Chan's movies being mostly comedies anyway. | |

Fauxshadowing | |
| Rush Hour (1998) / int_117d2e1f | comment |
Fauxshadowing: Lee being unable to shoot Sang in the latter's Establishing Character Moment scene might lead a first-time viewer to believe Lee will rectify this later. Ironically, it’s Carter who fatally shoots Sang during the climax, with an Ironic Echo of Sang’s earlier "Wipe yourself off" line. | |

| Rush Hour (1998) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Unlike the next two films that started to get very humerous, this film is rather serious and dark compared to the next ones. | |

Gay Moment: Lee gratefully kisses Carter's cheeks a few times after he's rescued by Carter's quick thinking at the end of the first film. Carter, having just had Lee collide with his crotch, throws him off. | |

Blatant Lies: When an undercover Carter first meets a waiting Clive, he claims to have been waiting for Clive in the back of the diner "for over an hour." Keep in mind, Clive literally just saw Carter's car pull up into the parking lot. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
| Rush Hour (1998) / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: Lee and Carter are introduced in the first film conducting police operations using varying actions with different outcomes: Lee stealthily boards a ship run by Juntao, quietly detaining mooks and only resorting to violence at the last resort, never once firing his sidearm; he fails to get Sang, but recovers a priceless collection of Chinese artifacts. Carter does a sting operation to catch an explosives/arms dealer named Clive Cod. However, not only is he late and drives recklessly to the meeting (in his own personal car, no less!), he didn't have backup or bomb squad with him, due to a personal disdain for partners and his gung-ho attitude, the cops at the diner weren't warned about the sting, meaning that Carter was probably doing this without authorization, which leads to the two cops getting maimed by Clive shooting them (one of them losing a pinky), and then Carter start taking potshots at Clive's Jaguar, which forces Clive to jump out and detonates the C4 in the trunk of the car. In the end, Carter catches the bad guy, but is in trouble afterwards for leaving two cops injured, destruction of property, and causing public endangerment for blowing up a car in the middle of busy street. To a degree, Sang gets his moment once he shoots Soo Yung's limo drivers and kidnaps her, causing some mood whiplash in the scene. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: For refusing any help from Lee and Carter as he wanted to solve the case of finding Soo Yung himself and dismissing them of the assignment, Russ gets wounded by Juntao and in the end, he gets rejected of the FBI badge he wanted to give Carter for completing the assignment. | |

It's All About Me: The FBI Agents Warren Russ and Dan Whitney only want to solve the case themselves, refuse any help from Lee and Carter and don't care if Han asked them to pay respect to Lee. This bites them in the climax when Juntao shoots at them and they nearly die. | |
