Jackie Chan stars in this wonderfully entertaining martial arts/comedy as a Chinese detective traveling to the US to inspect the kidnapping of the daughter of a Chinese diplomat. The FBI hires Chris Tucker, a man with a big mouth and an ego to comply, to keep Chan out of the investigation. Chan fans will rejoice and others will most likely find this enjoyable. One of the better Chan films, but surprisingly lacks the non-stop action that other Chan films possess.
