Rush Hour starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker

Rush hour was one of my favorite movies from the 90's. I havent watched it for a long while and decided to watch it. I never noticed Chris Tucker (Detective Carter) sported an American Silver Eagle medallion.

That's cool! I never noticed that when watching.

@WillieBoyd2 did you have this one on your list or is this a new one for you?

Speaking of Jackie Chan, he was in the Spanish language network's featured Christmas Day movie - "Shanghai Knights."

Here is a screen shot sequence that includes my prop wall hanging shield from which its crossed swords are taken down by Jackie Chan's character and then used by him and Owen Wilson's character as they engage in a sword fight with the adversary as all three climb the London Clock Tower:

Here pictured are the shield and swords "collectibles" as they hang on my office wall along with a crossbow prop seen earlier in the film:

And an added "collectible," the Imperial Seal that was the object of Jackie Chan's and Owen Wilson's characters going to London for its retrieval. (Also pictured is an Imperial Seal stand-in that had a translucent rubber rather than crystal top for use in the scene where the Imperial Seal was being tossed around.)

First, a screen shot from the movie with Jackie Chan's character holding it:

Here is another attempt to post the above referenced screen shot from the movie "Shanghai Knights" with Jackie Chan's character holding the Imperial Seal:

The ASE is a coin and not a medallion. Also, based on its size, it looks like it may actually be a Walking Liberty half dollar medallion.

Bad firearm discipline in the picture in the OP.... finger on trigger while pointing the gun at another person... I do not care if it was a prop gun (such as Alec Baldwin).... Cheers, RickO

@Namvet69.... Roy, I spend a great deal of time around firearms (work and hobby), so I am extremely conscious of safety (At the range, we have people almost every day that have never picked up or fired a rifle/pistol). I wear body armor to work. Cheers, RickO

That sounds like a dream job. Well except for the body armor part.

I am pretty sure that an image of someone being threatened with a gun / knife / railway share is supposed to make you uncomfortable... 😉

I watched the film yesterday and liked it.

Clive Cod (Chris Penn) holds pistol to neck of Detective Carter (Chris Tucker)

The medallion that Detective Carter is wearing appears to be a Walking Liberty half dollar.

The gun that Clive Cod is holding is a Browning Hi-Power automatic and judging from the size of the coin, the size of the gun, and actor Chris Tucker's fingers, the coin is around 32 mm in diameter and would be a half dollar (30.6 mm).

Great analysis. Glad you enjoyed the film.
