* [[Eagle Land]]: Not so much in the first two movies, but in ''Rush Hour 3'' Carter gets pretty obnoxiously Flavor 2; accusing all Iraqis of being terrorists and forcing a Frenchman to sing the US anthem ''at gunpoint''.

** Does the fact that the officer is played by ''[[Roman Polanski]]'' make it more disturbing or funnier?

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Bordering on [[Ho Yay]].

** 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]]''.

** Also, when the same aforementioned guy is about to kill Carter in said restaurant, he throws a handkerchief to him and says: "Wipe yourself off, you're bleeding." Later, after killing the man in a shootout at the expo, Carter tosses a handkerchief on him and says: "Wipe yourself off, you dead."

* [[Jerkass]]: The FBI agents in the first movie.

* [[MacGuffin Melee]]: The Red Dragon Casino fight, involving a bomb detonator.

* [[Stab the Salad]]: Before fighting Carter towards the end of the second movie, Hu Li grabs a chopstick, holding it menacingly, only to use it to tie her hair back.

* [[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?).

* [[What Could Have Been]]: [[Jean Claude Van Damme]] was offered the role of the villain in part three. Imagine seeing him and [[Jackie Chan]] fight...

** [[Eddie Murphy]] was also originally supposed to play as Carter, but turned the role down to work on another project.
