Line 108:
* [[My Dad Can Beat Up Your Dad]]: In the first movie, Lee and Carter get into an argument about their deceased fathers, culminating in this:
{{quote|'''Carter''': Your daddy was a a cop?
'''Lee''': Not a cop. An officer. [[Shrouded in Myth|A legend]]. All over Hong Kong.
'''Carter''': My daddy [is] a legend too. All over America. My daddy once arrested 15 people in one night. By himself.
'''Lee''': My daddy arrest[ed] [[Up to Eleven|25 by himself]].
'''Carter''': My daddy saved 5 crackheads from a burning building. ''[[Insistent Terminology|By himself]]''.
'''Lee''': My daddy once [[Bullet Catch|caught a bullet with his bare hands]].
'''Carter''': (''[[Beat]]'') My daddy'll kick your daddy's ass all the way from here to China or Japan - [[All Asians Are Alike|wherever the hell you're from]] - and all up that Great Wall too.
'''Lee''': Hey, [[Cavemen vs. Astronauts Debate|don't talk about my father]].
'''Carter''': [[Hypocritical Humor|Don't talk about my daddy]]. }}
* [[My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels]]: Thanks to his poor poor Cantonese, Carter invited two girls to get naked and sacrifice a small goat instead of having a drink. He also told ''[[Bad Guy Bar|the entire triad bar]]'' to take out [[Katanas Are Just Better|their Samurai swords]] and shave his butt. It's heavily implied that he bought the wrong Chinese-To-English translation book before their trip to Hong Kong.
Line 143:
* [[Tempting Fate]]: In the first film, Lee threatens that nothing better happen to all the priceless Chinese art and artifacts. Carter reassures him: "Don't worry, ain't nothin' gonna happen to any of this stuff." Only a couple minutes later, a huge gunfight erupts in the room, which destroys many of the items.
* [[Title Drop]]: First movie only (and really, it's the only one where the title makes sense; what does Rush Hour have to do with the crimes taking place in Hong Kong or Paris?).
{{quote|[''[[The Dragon|Sang]] stops Soo Yung's car, dressed as a cop'']
'''Soo Yung's Driver:''' Is there a problem, officer?
'''Sang:''' No problem. Just rush hour.
[''Sang shoots both guards and abducts Soo Yung''] }}
** To be fair, during the last hour of the sequels, Lee and Carter are usually ''rushing'' to get somewhere to stop someone dangerous, or rescue someone, so the title ''Rush Hour'' does kind of make sense. But that is stretching it.
