Hot Hong Kong Chicks

Jackie Chan,( Chief Inspector Lee) invites Chris Tucker,(Detective James Carter) to a nice vacation in Hong Kong and they start off doing exactly what James Carter wants to see, a room full of gals to choose from and then the gals join you for a nice rub down and a relaxing hot bath along with other special services offered. It is at this point in the film when all kinds of problems start to take place, and the bad guy who is in on all sorts of rackets comes face to face with Inspector Lee and the stunts and all kinds of action is enacted through out the entire picture. There is great photography around Hong Kong and more action than you can handle. Enjoyed this film more than Rush Hour #1.
