Line 69:
** He still is actually a competent cop. In the second movie he correctly guesses that the owner of the casino was in league with Ricky Tan ("follow the rich white man") and even manages to last in a fight against Hu-Li. In movie 3 he also is able to find the location of a club (if not by accident) that a mook only gives a vague address of, defeats several Triad bosses (on his own) and rescues Soo-Yung (again). It should also be noted that his antics actually get him ''demoted'' to traffic duty by number 3.
** In the first film, the very first thing we see him doing is mess up the arrest of an arms dealer, blowing up half a city block and getting two officers shot in the process. If anything he gets ''more'' competent as the films go on, not less, as he learns to work with a partner and exercise some degree of self-control.
* [[Follow That Car!]]: Seen in "Rush Hour 2", when Carter orders a taxi driver to follow a car. The driver doesn't move and keeps speaking Chinese to him. After a few back-and-forth exchanges, Carter slips him some money and the driver says, in English, "Now you're speaking my language." and steps on the gas.
** The [[Bilingual Bonus]] here is that the Chinese the driver is speaking translates to "Money first."
* [[French Jerk]]: The officer played by [[Roman Polanski]].
Line 84:
** Does the fact that the officer is played by ''[[Roman Polanski]]'' make it more disturbing or funnier?
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Bordering on [[Ho Yay]].
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Kenji is played by Hiroyuki Sanada, perhaps best known for his role as Ryuji Takayama in the ''[[The Ring|Ring]]'' movies. He also appeared in ''[[Sunshine (Film)|Sunshine]]'' as Captain Kaneda.
** The first had [[The Dark Knight Saga|Carmine Falcone]] and [[Lost|Miles]] {{spoiler|in cahoots}}
** In the second movie, Hu-Li is played by [[Zhang Ziyi]], who is probably best known for ''[[Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon]]'', ''[[House of Flying Daggers]]'' and ''[[Memoirs of a Geisha]]''.
Line 132:
* [[She Is All Grown Up]]: Carter has this reaction In Rush Hour 3 after seeing Soo Yung for the first time in nine years. Surprisingly, he doesn't hit on her.
** In fact he acts as something of a [[Papa Wolf]] towards her.
* [[Sir Not
* [[Soul Brotha]]: Carter.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To the film ''Drive'', starring Mark Dacascos, a woefully underrated (and relatively unknown) action film from [[The Nineties]]. Brett Ratner even admitted that the only reason ''[[Rush Hour]]'' got made without legal complications is that almost no one knows it exists. Fans of ''[[Rush Hour]]'' and action films in general should definitely check it out (but ''only'' the Director's Cut. [[Executive Meddling|Long story]].)
