    • Trivia
      The scene where Carter and Lee are running down the street naked in Hong Kong was an actual take. Production could not block the street off for the shoot.
    • Goofs
      When Carter is in the club singing and invites all the ladies up onto stage with him they are all wearing sequined dresses. When Lee runs out, the women around Carter are wearing beige/tan tops. In the next scene, their dresses revert to the nice dresses again.

      Lee: You!

      James Carter: Who?

    fantastic fun

    I've seen this film a few times now and it always makes me laugh. It's a great blend of action and comedy, and Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker seem to work really well together because they act total opposites and play really well off each other.

    The plot's fairly basic with the standard sort of Hong Kong police story about drugs and revenge, but the two fish out of water characters (Chan in LA and Tucker in HK) just make it really enjoyable. The fight scenes are pretty cool (I really liked the one with the locker doors in the casino) and Tucker's jokes with that high pitched voice are just really funny.

    It's just a really fun action-comedy movie that is really enjoyable. Can't ask for more than that.
