Honestly, seeing Jackie and Chris back together feels like digging up a perfectly preserved time capsule from the peak of buddy-cop comedies. Let's just hope their signature banter hasn't lost a step after all these years.
Honestly, it's wild that we're getting another Rush Hour after all this time—I just hope they can capture that same lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry. Fingers crossed it leans more into the charm of the first two films instead of feeling like a forced reunion.
