10 Everyday Things You Can't Do Without Thinking Of Movies
4. Thinking Of Chris Tucker In Rush Hour When You Aren't Able To Understand Someone
Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) is a showoff, a loud mouth and increasingly becoming an embarrassment to the entire Los Angeles police department. So, do they get rid of the guy? Nope, they simply lead him to believe that they are giving him a promotion when in actuality he has basically been assigned as a babysitter of sorts for a Detective from Hong Kong named Lee (played by Jackie Chan). As you could probably guess, hijinks indeed ensue. One of the first things Carter memorably asks Lee is if he "understands the words" that are coming out of his mouth. This is, of course, one of many misunderstandings that come about throughout the multicultural proceedings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rl9Cxc7uZA Who cant relate to this? We've all been in a situation where we simply didn't understand what another person was saying. Whether it's your belligerent buddy who had one too many beers or the foreign exchange student at your school. When faced with this it's hard not to look them dead in the eye and ask "What the hell did you just say?" in our best Chris Tucker voice.
