Episode 4
Thursday, 29 January, 2026

We’re wrapping up Jackie Chan-uary with a fan favourite: Rush Hour (1998). With a fourth Rush Hour film reportedly in development, now’s the perfect time to revisit this iconic 90s action comedy that paired Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker for the first time.In this review, we break down why Rush Hour worked so well - its chemistry, action, and cultural impact and how its racial humour reflects the tensions of 1990s America. It’s a movie that helped launch Jackie Chan into Hollywood superstardom… even if you have to wince through a few jokes along the way.If you enjoy movie reviews, film analysis, and Asian pop culture, check out our weekly podcast Two Asian Blokes, where we chat about films, TV, and vaguely Asian stuff.SUBSCRIBE -- https://www.youtube.com/@twoasianblokes?sub_confirmation=100:00 Intro – Why Rush Hour still matters03:33 Race & comedy in 1990s Hollywood05:19 Jackie Chan & Chris Tucker’s perfect chemistry10:06 East Meets West – cultural clash as comedy12:25 Camel's hump15:50 The best thing about Rush Hour18:10 Bloopers & end credits outtakes19:15 Final thoughts – does Rush Hour hold up?What do you think of Rush Hour?
