Trivia:
Elizabeth Peña played a prank on Brett Ratner in which she appeared on the set wearing nothing but her character's bomb squad vest. According to Peņa, she thought Ratner would laugh and howl but instead he was extremely nervous and embarrassed. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: In the final battle at the Chinese Art Exhibition, Lee uses his foot to get hold of a metal pole (one of the kind that a velvet rope is hooked to) and then uses it to smack a henchman in the face. As the villain is hit, the metal pole has lost all of its luster and bends slightly as it flies through the air, showing that it is clearly made out of rubber. more
Quotes:
[Carter is riding in a tow truck pulling up to the Consulate; he meets the guard whose ass Lee kicked earlier]
Carter: Hey, man, y'all see a little Asian dude about this height with a steering wheel on his arm?
FBI Gate Guard #1: Go screw yourself.
Carter: What did you say?
FBI Gate Guard #1: I said go screw yourself.
Carter: You take your little sensitive ass up there and let me in. Get out of the way! Don't make me get up out of this truck! Man when I get up in there I'm slappin' somebody, I don't play that.

A good buddy movie, 25 October 2003
7/10
Author: Grann-Bach (Grann-Bach@jubii.dk) from Denmark

Even though this movie might be a bit conventional, it's thoroughly entertaining, with nice action scenes, cool martial arts fighting & a good sense of humor. I didn't find any of it boring. It's a good concept, to combine the humor of Chris Tucker with the martial arts of Jackie Chan. This movie is for anyone who's into action, martial arts & humor. 7/10
