Screenwriter William Goldman's novel The Princess Bride earned its own loyal audience on the strength of its narrative voice and its gently satirical, hyperbolic spin on swashbuckled adventure that seemed almost purely literary. For all its derring-do and vivid over-the-top characters, the book's joy was dictated as much by the deadpan tone of its narrator and a winking acknowledgement of the clichés being sent up. Miraculously, director Rob Reiner and Goldman himself managed to visualize this romantic fable while keeping that external voice largely intact: using a storytelling framework, avuncular Grandpa (Peter Falk) gradually seduces his skeptical grandson (Fred Savage) into the absurd, irresistible melodrama of the title story.

And what a story: a lowly stable boy, Westley (Cary Elwes), pledges his love to the beautiful Buttercup (Robin Wright), only to be abducted and reportedly killed by pirates while Buttercup is betrothed to the evil Prince Humperdinck. Even as Buttercup herself is kidnapped by a giant, a scheming criminal mastermind, and a master Spanish swordsman, a mysterious masked pirate (could it be Westley?) follows in pursuit. As they sail toward the Cliffs of Insanity...

The wild and woolly arcs of the story, the sudden twists of fate, and, above all, the cartoon-scaled characters all work because of Goldman's very funny script, Reiner's confident direction, and a terrific cast. Elwes and Wright, both sporting their best English accents, juggle romantic fervor and physical slapstick effortlessly, while supporting roles boast Mandy Patinkin (the swordsman Inigo Montoya), Wallace Shawn (the incredulous schemer Vizzini), and Christopher Guest (evil Count Rugen) with brief but funny cameos from Billy Crystal, Carol Kane, and Peter Cook. --Sam Sutherland

Awesome Parody On Fairy Tales. Cute, Funny & Romantic With All The Classic Fairy-Tale Elements We Love. "As You Wish." .......2007-06-23

In only his 3rd time behind the camera, director Rob Reiner brings Academy Award winning screenwriter William Goldman's "The Princess Bride" to the silver screen, with Goldman himself writing the script. With excellent performances by Cary Elwes, Mandy Pantinkin, Wallace Shawn, Andre The Giant (In pace requiscat), Chris Sarandon and Christopher Guest, special appearances by Peter Falk, Carol Kane, Billy Crystal, Fred Savage Peter Cook and Mel Smith and starring Robin Wright as The Princess Bride, this classic fairy tale never disappoints for all of its 98 minutes (it never feels that long; then again, I was so busy enjoying the movie that I didn't notice the length of the film). I haven't viewed the special features yet, but they promise to be as good as the movie itself.
I recommend this movie to every female out there. You will love it and have your significant others saying "As you wish" to your every word.

The film could pass for a Disney movie, as MGM rarely produces anything this clean in this day and age (virtually no swearing, sex or nudity). A movie the entire family (and especially young couples) can enjoy together.

If I were to remake this film (theoretically speaking, of course), I would take out the bits where the Grandson interrupts the Grandfather every time Buttercup and Westley kiss. Those bits are some of the best.

The film is crammed with memorable lines, from Westley's signature saying
"As you wish" to Inigo's "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father. Prepare to die." Watch the movie and, I promise you, you will love it.

Rated PG for comic violence.

One of the best films I've seen........2007-05-24

Simply put, this is one of the most clever, witty, and entertaining films I've ever seen. It's one that will always have a place of honor in my collection; it's more like a stage show than a full scale cinematic production, but that fact adds to it's charm I think.

This is one of those films that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, young and old alike. I grew up on this film, and now as an adult, I enjoy some of the more subtle comedy on an entirely different level than when I was younger, and it never loses it's appeal.

A special edition with more than a new cover!.......2007-05-23

Princess Bride is a classic, a favorite movie of many. And this special edition is what a good Princess Bride fan is probably looking for. The home footage taken by cast members during the filming, the little tour guide book by "Fezzik", and the additional commentaries add even more magic to the movie. Did you know Andre kept Robin Penn warm by covering her whole head with his hand? It's great.

Tremendous Fun for the Family...........2007-05-21

This film is so creative and entertaining. You will get caught up in the romance, adventure, and humor that has made this film famous. You will be quoting this film for years. It is definitely a must-see film. There is no hidden depth to it, but if you are out for entertainment, fun, and laughter this is a film you can count on. "As you wish!"

Wonderful story!.......2007-05-12

This movie is a lot of fun. The story is entertaining, the acting is very good, and the premise - the visualization of a book being read by a grandfather to his sick grandson - is terrific. We watch an imaginary topic come to life. Mandy Patinkin is great!

It was directed with energetic skill by Top Gun Tony Scott, but this breathtaking 1993 thriller (think of it as an adolescent crime fantasy on steroids) has Quentin Tarantino written all over it. True Romance is really part of a loose trilogy that includes Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, with a crackling Tarantino screenplay that rides a fine line between raucous comedy and violent excess. Christian Slater plays Clarence, the comic-book lover who meets a beguiling prostitute named Alabama (Patricia Arquette), confronts her vicious pimp (Gary Oldman), and embarks on a cross-country odyssey with $5 million worth of Mafia cocaine. Mayhem ensues, culminating in a favorite Tarantino climax--the "Mexican standoff"--in which a roomful of guys are pointing guns at each other, waiting to see who shoots first. Brutal, profane, and totally outrageous, True Romance is not for everyone, but with a supporting cast that includes Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Brad Pitt, and Val Kilmer (as the ghost of Elvis!), you can be sure this movie will never be boring. --Jeff Shannon

Description

This rock'n'roll adventure story tells of two unlikely lovers who accidentally double-cross the Detroit mob by stealing valuable contraband. Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, flee to Los Angeles where they are sought by both gangsters and cops.

It has an all star cast and a very good plot. You can't guess the ending because it sneaks up on you.

Alabama Luvs Clarence.......2007-04-11

I just saw this movie for the first time, after hearing lots of guys rave about it (I just *knew* it was a guy movie and I wouldn't enjoy it). Well, I was wrong. I really liked! And it is surprisingly romantic.

Christian Slater plays Clarence, the comic book store worker that meets his dream girl in Alabama (Patricia Arquette), a sexy blonde with a checkered past. They get married after a perfect first date (complete with first date sex) and the next day he decides to help her totally move on from her past...by killing her ex-pimp. Along the way he accidentally ends up with a suitcase full of cocaine that he decides to sell so he and Alabama can move to Mexico and live out their lives in bliss.

He makes his decisions by talking to Elvis, his ideal woman is a woman that loves kung fu, and his ideal date is movies followed by pie. This makes Alabama perfect for him as the sweet ex-call girl that is totally devoted to him and prances around in bubblegum colored sexy outfits.

It's a really good movie. Dennis Hopper plays his dad, Gary Oldman plays the pimp, Christopher Walken is head of the local Mafia, James Gandolfini plays a sizeable role in it too (he works for Walken's charactr) and Brad Pitt plays a pothead. Very funny movie, rather violent, with it's sad moments. Definately recommended.

This edition of the DVD is the best because it also includes the alternate ending (I won't spoil it) and deleted scenes, and well as behind the scene information, all on two DVD's.

"You're a cantelope!".......2007-04-06

1. The Blues Brothers
2. Raising Arizona
3. True Romance

I have 3 favorite movies because they are movies with a spirit that refuses to die. I won't go into the details with my top 2 but True Romance PACKS A PUNCH. I think most men have at least one time fallen in love with a girl stuck in some real messes that we never freed them from. Clarence (the main character) had such a good time with this call girl that he didn't care about her profession. They had a true connection. And when she says "from this moment forth I promise I will never lie to you again", that is the turning point for him. He has to free her from her fears to let her realize he'll protect her from anything. "You don't know me. Not when it comes to $#it like this." A woman who will be 100% monogonous and will never lie, and a man who will protect and save his woman from any affliction. There you have it; True Romance.

Not just cameos but some real smooth performances by Hopper, Oldman and Walken also.

Great Story, Great Acting, Great Dvd Edition.......2007-03-29

You must know what this movie is about from all the other reviewers so i'll just coment on this dvd. The quality of this dvd is excellent. Great sound and visual. Many extras. It's very much worth the price. Quentin Tarantino wrote the script and Tony Scott directed it. Do I dare say it is a masterpiece? It is to me. Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette give oscar worthy performances. I love it!!

Quentin Tarantino came out of nowhere (i.e., a video store in Manhattan Beach, California) and turned Hollywood on its ear in 1992 with his explosive first feature, Reservoir Dogs. Like Tarantino's mainstream breakthrough Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs has an unconventional structure, cleverly shuffling back and forth in time to reveal details about the characters, experienced criminals who know next to nothing about each other. Joe (Lawrence Tierney) has assembled them to pull off a simple heist, and has gruffly assigned them color-coded aliases (Mr. Orange, Mr. Pink, Mr. White) to conceal their identities from being known even to each other. But something has gone wrong, and the plan has blown up in their faces. One by one, the surviving robbers find their way back to their prearranged warehouse hideout. There, they try to piece together the chronology of this bloody fiasco--and to identify the traitor among them who tipped off the police. Pressure mounts, blood flows, accusations and bullets fly. In the combustible atmosphere these men are forced to confront life-and-death questions of trust, loyalty, professionalism, deception, and betrayal. As many critics have observed, it is a movie about "honor among thieves" (just as Pulp Fiction is about redemption, and Jackie Brown is about survival). Along with everything else, the movie provides a showcase for a terrific ensemble of actors: Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, Christopher Penn, and Tarantino himself, offering a fervent dissection of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" over breakfast. Reservoir Dogs is violent (though the violence is implied rather than explicit), clever, gabby, harrowing, funny, suspenseful, and even--in the end--unexpectedly moving. (Don't forget that "Super Sounds of the Seventies" soundtrack, either.) Reservoir Dogs deserves just as much acclaim and attention as its follow-up, Pulp Fiction, would receive two years later. --Jim Emerson

I am very upset because I did not receive the sepecial package that I choose.

EXCELLENT DVD!.......2007-05-30

This DVD is the SPECIAL EDITION of the movie "Reservoir Dogs" that was released 15 years ago, it contains a huge amount of bonus material including various interviews with Quentin Tarantino and several other people that worked on this movie. It also comes in a special metal case that's in the shape of a gasoline tank, VERY COOL!

Reservoir dogs.......2007-05-16

Its kinda boring show. The only interesting part of the movie is constant arguing.... which the whole movie is only showing them quarreling in a warehouse. The whole movie is in the warehouse and nothing more. So its kinda boring i guess.

An intro to Pulp Fiction.......2007-05-14

This film shares many elements with Pulp Fiction. While not necessarily required to understand Pulp Fiction, it does enhance your understanding of Quentin Tarantino's style. This film may have been overshadowed by Pulp Fiction, but it still is a classic in its own right.

A timeless Jewel heist gone wrong.......2007-05-07

Quentin Tarrintino is an amazing talent when it comes to making movies, and ALL of his movies are great
but this (His first) is my favorite. His style is so hip and unique, and the characters always unforgettable!

Reservoir Dogs is basically the story of a jewel heist gone wrong.
The movie opens in a coffee shop with the gangsters eating breakfast right before the heist takes place.
The funny part about it is the discussion taking place at the table, about Madonna's song "Like a virgin".

We have the boss, his son (Nice guy Eddie)and the color-coded named criminals (the boss gave them the names because they don't know each each other, and boss wants to keep it that way)
We have Mr. Brown, Mr. Blue, Mr. White, Mr. Blonde, Mr. Orange and Mr. Pink (my fave)

What is interesting about this is, that after they leave the restaurant, we immediately flash to a car with Mr. White driving and Orange in the back - shot - blood all over the place!
They go to a warehouse and all meet up there, and as they begin to trickle in, one by one, it is realized that someone set them up-one of them!
But which one? Which one is the cop ???
They re forced to stay in the warehouse and wait it out, and 'honor among thieves' is put to the test.Tempers flare and blood is shed.But who ratted? And how will they get out alive?

One thing that makes this so unique is that it sort of plays backwards, and Tarrintino was pretty much the first to use this style of storytelling.

Another thing, the soundtrack is awesome!You will never forget what happens as "Stuck in the middle with you" plays. :(
There are a lot of awesome oldies which plays on the movie's 'radio station' "K-Billy Super sounds of the seventies".

There are many editions of this movie out, but the 15th anniversary edition is really PACKED with extras, and the packaging is cool too.
The 2 disc set comes in a slim metal "gas can" and the top pops off. Inside is a huge book of matches that hold the DVD's, the matches are from "Uncle Bob's Pancakes"... It really is a cool edition to own, even if you own the 10th anniversary, or other editions.

Highly reccomended entertainment!

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson--dark, wiry, and tense meets blond, lanky, and loose--make a solid comic team (and previously appeared together in Zoolander), but the funniest man in Starsky and Hutch is Vince Vaughn. Vaughn dives into his role as a sleazy drug dealer (who nonetheless buys a pony for his daughter's bat mitzvah) with the offhand zest that he brings to almost every role (from Swingers to Old School) and effortlessly steals every scene he's in. Vaughn has concocted a new and undetectable kind of cocaine, and only two cops who aren't afraid to break the rules--our titular pair--can catch him. But the plot isn't the point; mocking-yet-loving jabs at the '70s, including the homoerotic overtones of Starsky and Hutch's partnership, are what this movie is about. The satire is surprisingly mild but entertaining nonetheless, particularly when Vaughn or Snoop Dogg (as informant Huggy Bear) hold the screen. --Bret Fetzer

Description

In Starsky & Hutch, the origins of the charismatic crime-fighting duo David Starsky and Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson are explored when these undercover Bay City detectives are partnered for their very first assignment. Ben Stiller plays the tightly wound Detective David Starsky who is thrown together with Owen Wilson's easygoing Detective Ken Hutchinson on a high-stakes case. Platinum-selling rapper and actor Snoop Dogg plays their savvy street informant Huggy Bear. Vince Vaughn also joins the cast as Reese Feldman, a smooth-talking entrepreneur with an eye towards the future.DVD Features:

Wow, was I in for a treat when I watched this gem!!!.......2007-06-17

Big screen remakes of 70's sitcoms have given us "modern kids" a chance to enjoy some bellbottom antics that we otherwise would have missed out on. With a star-studded cast lead by Ben Stiller (Starsky) and Owen Wilson (Hutch), this film calls to all who are ready to be launched into ha-ha arcadia.
The stage is set right after you are introduced to the dynamic duo. Stiller is an uptight cop who serves the law to the utmost. Wilson is a laid back cop who just wants to take it easy. Let's pair them together! Holy, freaking-f! Where did they get that idea? It's awesome!
As the film builds up momentum with a prodigious and inexhaustible stream of jokes we meet Huggy Bear played by rapper Snoop Dogg. Why isn't this man in more movies? His acting is absolutely awe-inspiring (except that it is bad and I don't care for it much at all). In the 90's he popularized the alcoholic drink "gin and juice" and taught us that "endo" is the best marijuana to smoke. Now, in 2004, he is stupefying audiences with his rigmarole on the big screen. Boy how the times change. Speaking of change, let's not forget the antagonist, a villainous drug dealer named Reese Feldman, played by Vince Vaughn. Let me tell you straight up: this is not the Vaughn of old. Long gone is the quick-witted fun time swinger who gave a fairly decent vocabulary base to a generation of young hipsters. To make sure you're not confused, the character displays his wrathfulness early so you don't cry when/if he gets busted. How? One, he has a moustache. Two, he kills guys that loose his coke and doesn't even care about it. Three, he never says "that's money," "hey, you are money tonight," or "sexy babies for me and for you that are money." F that guy! I kept thinking throughout the whole film: you are sooooo busted in 70 minutes. So what about the plot? Basically, Starsky and Hutch somehow must find the bad guy through a tangled web of ridiculous humor, mishaps and total babes. If you were smart enough to figure out how to operate the DVD player you can see the jokes coming from a mile away. The real mystery I'll leave you with is this; can the two cops see through their differences to form a law enforcement juggernaut (like Robocop but with less buffoonery) and a possible lasting friendship in 90 minutes?
On a personal level after seeing this film I really wished that Owen Wilson was my bro, that guy would be awesome to do the "what's up" thing with.
Modern day filmmakers have somehow managed to take their non-creativity to a whole new level, much the same as Puff Diddy does with music. If you have lost your creative go ahead and take an idea that has already been done, inject a bunch of your own non-creative and you will have teens and adults alike reiterating phrases like "do it, do it" until the Knight Rider movie comes out. I personally can't wait till I'm 40 and I see the remake of Wayne's World.
Grade D+; wait to spend your money on the remake of Wayne's World (hopefully staring our friend Wayne).

This movie is so funny!!! This is my second copy because one of "thieverous" (yes, I know that's not a word) relatives stole the original. But I highly recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it. The whole cast has their own style of comedy and when you bring them all together it's a lot of fun. Check it out.

Ben Stiller as the tough guy cop throwing the bad guys around is too much! Owen Wilson as the touchy-feely partner is the perfect compliment.
Especially if you were around for the Seventies and the original, don't miss this one. First rate comedy is so rare, this movie is a lot of fun.

lame.......2006-11-02

I can't believe anyone liked this movie. It was boring. It wasn't funny at all. It was everything bad that I don't feel like typing.

The only good part was a scene near the end where the car... I won't spoil it. It's not like I have a problem with the actors. I just had a problem with the lack of an interesting plot and the absense of humor. What was passed off as humor did nothing for me. Hey, maybe it's me. I have the problem, I guess.

Director Herbert Ross (The Turning Point) pulled a winning movie out of this almost self-consciously archetypal tale of teenage rock rebellion. Kevin Bacon stars as a hip city kid who ends up in a Bible-belt town after his parents divorce. An ill fit for a conservative community where rock is frowned upon and dancing is forbidden, Bacon's character rallies the kids and takes on the establishment. Between a good cast really embracing the drama of Dean Pitchford's screenplay, and Ross's imaginative, highly charged way of shooting the dance numbers, you can get lost in this all-ages confection, and you won't even mind Kenny Loggins's bubbly pop. Bonuses include one of John Lithgow's best performances (a bit reminiscent of Jimmy Stewart), and Christopher Penn (who sure doesn't look the same anymore) as a good-natured hick who learns to boogie. --Tom Keogh

Rock To Footloose ........2007-05-23

Hey i just love this film footloose brings me back to those carefree days i had as youth. i just dug the story about an outsider from a big city shaking things up in a small town but for a good reason. not being allowed to dance come on! it's part of our culture so i found that law in the film a little silly and thought it was just made up for the film until i saw the bonus stuff on this disc recently. the film hasn't aged that much other than some of the fashions being what they were in 1984 and they're were artifacts left. but nothing that would take away from the enjoyment of watching the movie, but what i like most about it was the music, the classic tracks that i heard and did'nt realize they were in the film until i viewed it again. the reason why i gave it four stars is the fact that top gun special edition came with the music videos from the film, that would've been nice to see the music videos from this film on here but oh well, can't win e'm all.

This Film Was shot In Utah. Lehi , American Fork and few other places.
The Mill still stands but is surrounded by resturants and gas stations , once there was nothing there but the mill and few houses and school, oh how times have changed.

When I see the Mill it brings back some fond memories, May It always stand.

Footloose fun.......2007-05-07

I loved this movie in highschool. Now my daughters can enjoy it too!! It was fun seeing the actors all grown up.

Thank Goodness for Dancing.......2007-03-23

A feel good movie for the whole family. Teaches the youngters that if you want something, you have to go for it and be willing to fight for it. This movie is one I recommend for everyone's library.

Let's hear it for the boy...

An American Classic .......2007-03-19

An American classic dance movie. Also watch the special 2-part feature on the making of the movie. It was forward and backward looking in so many good ways, anticipating the break out of pop music into mainstream culture through MTV as well as telling the story of a real small town in Oklahoma which had banned dancing for 95 years before one senior class petitioned the town fathers for a prom.

Although it contains some clichés, then, the story is still a meaningful one, and the very human performance of John Lithgow as the baptist minister and father of the rebellious Lori keeps the filim from descending into stereotype. Of course, Kevin Bacon in the lead role of "Ren" is just riveting. The dancing, choreographed by Lynne Taylor-Corbett, is good but not too good. Although there are clearly some ringers in the film (which makes the extravaganza closing scene just that much more fun), for the most part she worked with the native talents of the actors she had, who were not professional dancers. Just an all-around fun movie with foot-tapping music.

great music and dancing.......2007-02-22

I would give it five stars if the story of the movie wouldn't be a little lame (a little town where there is no music and dancing allowed - hello?)The dancing and the music make up for the story line though. A nice movie to pop into your DVD player once in a while.

This clunky road movie about three drag queens (Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguziamo) who get stranded in a sleepy Nebraska town on their way to a beauty contest, is too uplifting for its own good. Released during drag's mid-'90s heyday when RuPaul and the Wigstock documentary were all the rage, To Wong Foo aimed straight for the mainstream with its inoffensive camp and "can't we all get along" moralism. While gay-activist groups howled about straights getting the lead roles in To Wong Foo, in the end the filmmakers really couldn't have done better than this trio of actors. John Leguziamo provides real sass and bite as a Latino (or should we saw Latina?) drag queen, and Wesley Snipes is surprisingly fierce as the imposing leader of the pack. Saddled with a cloying Southern accent and off-kilter wig, Patrick Swayze barely holds his own with his costars, though. To Wong Foo is best viewed as a cultural artifact of a time when it seemed as though drag could rule all tomorrow's parties. --Ethan Brown

Thanks for Everything Patrick & Wesley.......2007-05-20

Another fun movie that gives great "grins and giggles". It also has some very poignant parts as well. I have love this one for MANY years.

"TO WONG FOO" IGNORES ADVERSITY.......2007-04-30

"To Wong Foo" presents a rose-colored view of the world in which all of our problems can be solved if we just tap
into our inner fabulousness! Why, even the problems of seriously abused housewife CarolAnne (Stockard Channing) are cheerfully swept under the rug. I am not blaming the movie for its optimistic life view and colorful hues. It helps the poor abused Carol Ann that drag Queen Vita Boheme (Patrick Swayze) appears as her "angel" and lays some serious smack down on her pig of a husband (Arliss Howard).
Three drag Queen ends up stranded in some un-named fictional, backwater Podunk town when their Convertible breaks down en route from New York to Hollywood. The ladies, naturally, end up transforming the lives of everybody in town over the course of a single, magical weekend. The ladies are pursued by racist, homophobic Sheriff Dollard (the late Chris Penn) who, we discover in a funny bar scene, is a major closet case!
The premise is slight, but the performances are outstanding. Your enjoyment of the film may depend on how you respond to the leading (heterosexual) men playing the leading (gay men in drag) ladies. Snipes (as Noxemi Jackson) and Leguizamo are especially excellent at bringing their inner Drag Queens out. John Leguizamo is outstanding as Chi Chi Rodreiguiz. The role of Vita Boheme represents a major change of pace for Swayze, previously known for macho roles in "Dirty Dancing" and "RoadHouse." Swayze is only half as convincing and successful as Snipes and Leguizamo, but the good news ladies and gentlemen is that he is every bit as sexy and attractive as Lady Vita Boheme as he is as a man (himself). Hey, I'm not asking Swayze to give me the moon here. He really is very good. Robin Williams also makes a fun and funny cameo appearance.
"To Wong Foo" is so optimistic it might as well be a Disney movie, "The Wizard Of Oz" or "The Sound Of Music." I'm all for films about self-esteem and self-empowerment, as long as the viewer realizes that this level of rosy self-empowerment can be achieved in movies but seldom in real life. This is a perfect movie to watch if your feeling depressed. This movie made me smile and laugh when I was experiencing severe depressions.
I cracked up in uncontrollable laughter when Swayze said, "Oh, what in gay hell?" (is this? as Penn's car is seen behind them on the road). "To Wong Foo" is gay in every sense of the word (emphasis on bright, sunny, colorful, happy) and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. Say "Amen."

bought for my self.......2007-04-29

I love Patrick Swayze and heard this was a great movie I am sure I am going to love it

I did not recieve this item.......2007-04-01

I have not reieve this item. I forgot that i ordered the movie

HAHAHAHAHA.......2007-03-05

This movie gets you going! The most comedy movie I have ever watched! When I first watched this movie I had pizza and choked me to death when I wasnt trying to laugh so hard. I was shocked that Patrick Swayze dressed up as drag queen and went on the road trip to Hollywood, CA with Wesley and John. I really think Patrick looked hot than Wesley and John tho.

The plot line may sound familiar: Two mismatched cops are assigned as reluctant partners to solve a crime. Culturally they are complete opposites, and they quickly realize they can't stand each other. One (Jackie Chan) believes in doing things by the book. He is a man with integrity and nerves of steel. The other (Chris Tucker) is an amiable rebel who can't stand authority figures. He's a man who has to do everything on his own, much to the displeasure of his superior officer, who in turn thinks this cop is a loose cannon but tolerates him because he gets the job done. Directed by Brett Ratner, Rush Hour doesn't break any new ground in terms of story, stunts, or direction. It rehashes just about every "buddy" movie ever made--in fact, it makes films such as Tango and Cash seem utterly original and clever by comparison. So, why did this uninspired movie make over $120 million at the box office? Was the whole world suffering from temporary insanity? Hardly. The explanation for the success of Rush Hour is quite simple: chemistry. The casting of veteran action maestro Jackie Chan with the charming and often hilarious Chris Tucker was a serendipitous stroke of genius. Fans of Jackie Chan may be slightly disappointed by the lack of action set pieces that emphasize his kung-fu craft. On the other hand, those who know the history of this seasoned Hong Kong actor will be able to appreciate that Rush Hour was the mainstream breakthrough that Chan had deserved for years. Coupled with the charismatic scene-stealer Tucker, Chan gets to flex his comic muscles to great effect. From their first scenes together to the trademark Chan outtakes during the end credits, their ability to play off of one another is a joy to behold, and this mischievous interaction is what saves the film from slipping into the depths of pitiful mediocrity. --Jeremy Storey

Rush Hour is one of best buddy-cop movies.......2007-03-13

I get a kick out of this movie. The way Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker interact and play off each other is so hilarious. Jackie Chan's Hollywood career got a second break with Rush Hour and the plot has more substance than most Jackie Chan movies.

We got James Carter, played by Chris Tucker, who is an LAPD detective with a penchant for dancing Michael Jackson-style while blowing up blocks of buildings. This gets him into trouble with his sergeant who, at the request of the FBI, assigns him to a case where he ends up being a nurse maid to Lee (Chan), a Chinese detective who has just broken up a huge smuggling ring in Hong Kong. The FBI want Carter and Lee to not interfere with the investigation of the kidnapping of the Chinese Consul's daughter, but Lee and Carter do anyway, in their own charismatic manner and triumph where the FBI fail.

The martial arts expertise of Jackie Chan is fantastic and shows that his truly a master in what he does. Chris Tucker does a terrific job of playing the off the wall LAPD officer who trys to keep Chan's character out of the way of an investigation. Chris Tucker is an extremely well disciplined actor, and seems to go very smoothly with the styles of Jackie Chan. Not only is the action part of the movie good, the now common jokes in martial arts movies are all there, including many racial/cultural difference jokes not necessarily making fun of races, but the cultural differences. Rush Hour is nothing to take seriously, but it is fun to watch.

One of my favorite movies!.......2007-03-07

Detective Carter (Chris Tucker) who has the fastest mouth in the L.A. police force has an assignment to track down a Chinese Consular's daughter with the help of Hong Kong detective Lee (Jackie Chan). The Two aren't getting along quite well for Carter thinks everything is his way, for Lee the mission is important but eventually along the way they become friends and must stop the international criminal mastermind behind this.

Phenomenal and entertaining action-comedy that has the right ingredients to make one of 1998's most popular movies! Chan and Tucker make a great team together. The movie has a perfect mix of action, laughs, and stunts from Chan, it's the best work Brett Ratner has done and the sequel is even better.

The DVD has crisp picture and sound with cool extras like audio commentary, isolated score, Deleted scenes, featurette, a short film, the theatrical trailer, DVD-Rom extras and music video by Dru Hill.

Two thumbs down.......2007-05-22

One of the most ridiculous, unrealistic martial arts movie ever made.
Just look attentively at Eric Robert's stance in the ring. And that idiotic cowboy hat that Chris Penn wearing and sobbing:"What are you counting them for?" after losing the breaking match. Yeah! This is as close to reality as it can be. And the crowd at the bar rooting for the American karate team? Give me a break! Phillip Rhee and the Korean team are the only people who make any sense as far as martial arts in this movie.
Best of the best? No! Worst of the worst!
You want real action? Watch ISKA Strike Force K1.

Good classic martial art.......2007-05-15

If you don't like to always see fake martial arts movies then 'the best of the best' is a good choice to see some real life like fighting techniques, as three of the Korean Martial arts contenders are actually real life champions. Not that violent so you can watc it with your family

Winners in attitude and actions.......2007-05-12

Loved the movies action and morals. Winning means giving YOUR best, not for the recognition or glory but for your own strengths. They all are winners. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie!

Definitely Best of the Best!.......2007-04-19

5 stars for entertainment...
5 stars for inspiration...
5 stars for enjoyment...
As a disabled martial artist inspiration for practice is essential- especially on those days when pain hinders practise. This movie fits the bill! It inspires me to do what I need to do even when things are difficult.
Too bad that 5 stars is the upper limit!
