Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The movie is set in Los Angeles, which means Officer Carter represents the LAPD. Who plays Detective James Carter in "Rush Hour"?

Answer: Chris Tucker

Chris Tucker became famous due to the "Rush Hour" franchise. Actually, he has produced few films in comparison to other actors of his same fame level. He also played the role of Smokey in the movie "Friday". In addition, he has appeared in films such as "Money Talks", "The Fifth Element", and "Silver Linings Playbook".

Jackie Chan costarred the movie with him as Detective Inspector Lee. Billy Devlin also appeared in the movie as an FBI agent.

Answer: To avoid negative attention should Lee get injured or die

The FBI understands that if anything happened to Lee, it would be their responsibility and the attention and pressure from the media would've been huge, which is why Carter must keep Lee away from the embassy.

3. When Lee gets off the plane, Carter asks, "Do you speak any English?" What does Carter say next?

Answer: "Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?"

For me, this is one of the funniest parts of the movie. I burst in laughter the first time I saw it! Carter, obviously not happy with the task he has been assigned, frowns at Lee and as he gets off the plane, Carter shouts, "Do you speak any English? DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH?" Lee remains silent until scenes later, when he reveals he actually does speak English.

Answer: Black

Carter, who is of dark skin color, looks at Lee, who is singing a song from the Beach Boys, and yells at him. Carter then starts listening to rap music.

5. Lee manages to enter the Consul's house. When they're inside, they receive a call from the kidnappers, who ask for $50 million dollars. Which man is on the phone?

Answer: Sang

Sang can be seen everywhere during the movie as the bad guy. He is the man who shoots both of the Consul's daughter's bodyguards.

Carter stupidly negotiates the release for $50 million dollars.

Answer: War

"War" is a protest song written by Edwin Starr. The scene where they dance is absolutely hilarious! It starts with Lee singing the chorus of the song: "War, huh, yeah, what is it good for, absolutely nothing, say it again, y'all," but Lee can't really say "y'all" correctly. Carter then spends a few minutes explaining to Lee how to do it and they start yelling "Y'ALL' at each other until they both start dancing on the street.

"Iris" was featured in the movie "City of Angels" and was written by The Goo Goo Dolls.

7. Carter and Lee discuss their fathers at one point of the movie. What was the profession of both of their dads?

Answer: Policemen

At first they discuss who was better and who died with the most pride, as both their dads died in the line of duty. Later in the movie, they become friends and mutually acknowledge their fathers' achievements.

8. When they find Soo-Yung in a vest rigged with explosives, Carter calls Tania Johnson, who is a bomb expert, to help with the vest so it doesn't explode. Which actress plays her?

Answer: Elizabeth Pe�a

Pe�a plays a bomb expert from the LAPD, who is at various times seen avoiding Carter, who wants to flirt with her.

Pe�a has appeared in TV shows such as "CSI: Miami" and "Numb3rs", and has directed TV show episodes as well.

9. At the end, it is shown that Thomas Griffin, a British commander, is really the leader of the criminal group that kidnapped the Consul's daughter. What is his other name?

Answer: Juntao

Juntao is the real criminal, and the fact that Griffin has an alternative persona and is behind it all is quite a surprise. In the end he is arrested by the FBI along with the other members of the criminal organization.

10. When the movie is about to end, both Lee and Carter board a plane. Where are they going to?

Answer: Hong Kong

After Carter turns down an offer from the FBI to join the bureau, he boards the plane as an airline employee and goes with Lee to Hong Kong, his place of origin, for a two-week vacation.
