when jackie chan first showed up in america i was instantly hooked- even go so far as to drive 70 miles to go see 'legend of the drunken master' on the big screen.  i was really excited for 'rush hour', though that excitement quickly faded due to the utter annoyance of chris tucker.  eventually chan teamed up with owen wilson, whom i also like, and made this western comedy.  and boy oh boy, do i love it!  the action is wonderfully silly and wilson's personality and voice lend themselves perfectly to the western genre.  its a classic east meets west done in a way that hit all of my pleasure buttons just right!
