When Hong Kong Inspector Lee is summoned to Los Angeles to investigate a kidnapping, the FBI doesn't want any outside help and assigns cocky LAPD Detective James Carter to distract Lee from the case. Not content to watch the action from the sidelines, Lee and Carter form an unlikely partnership and investigate the case themselves.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"Rush Hour is fundamentally an action-comedy revolving around an international kidnapping investigation. None of the required criteria (setting, plot centrality, themes, iconography, resolution) are met in a way that suggests Christmas plays any significant role in the narrative."
