I have memories of seeing this way back (in the theater no less) and enjoying myself. Guns, stunts, Hong Kong action, it was everything an uncultured teenager needed.
Now while Chris Tucker's Eddie-Murphy-on-speed shtick gets old quickly for adult me, there's nothing like a Jackie Chan action scene. I don't care how much rehearsing and safeguards go into his stuntwork, that stuff is still exciting today.
How they squeezed a franchise outta this is beyond me, but it's a serviceable buddy cop movie.
