A bit of a twist
safenoe28 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Rush Hour deserved more than 1 season. It didn't even get a full season, but only 13 episodes. Perhaps Rush Hour can be revived following the success of the Lethal Weapon TV series. In this episode there's a bit of a twist in a prison breakout.

Anyway there's a lot of ethnic jokes and humorous ethnic references in Rush Hour. In episode 7 for instance you had the classic line from Carter..."Freakin' Australians!! Do you know they take all our movie roles? Russell Crowe, Chris Hemsworth." This is the first of many ethnic mis-references from James, as Russell Crowe is a New Zealander, not Australian. Also in that episode James makes Japanese references to his Chinese partner Jonathan Lee (played by Jon Foo),and Jonathan politely correctly corrects him, although Jonathan failed to recognize Russell is from New Zealand. Australians, New Zealanders...to some they all look alike I guess.

I didn't realize Kyle Fox, one of the stars of the series, is so tall!!!

I also think the Rush Hour TV series should be sold to other countries. Perhaps a version for the UK, where an Indian (or Pakistani) police officer is teamed up with a British cop who voted Brexit and whose parents voted BNP.
