Rush Hour is a 1998 action comedy starring Jackie Chan as Lee, an inspector with the Hong Kong Police Force who travels to Los Angeles in order to investigate the kidnapping of the daughter of a Chinese diplomat. Upon his arrival, he is paired with James Carter (Chris Tucker), an LAPD detective whose real assignment is to keep Lee away from the investigation. Together, they discover the conspiracy behind the crimes they are investigating. The film was directed by Brett Ratner and would spawn two sequels: 2001's Rush Hour 2 and 2007's Rush Hour 3 as well as a 2016 television series adaptation.
The following weapons were used in the film Rush Hour (1998):
LAPD Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) carries a Beretta 92FS Inox as sidearm throughout the film. Sang (Ken Leung) uses one fitted with a compensator. When Carter attempts to stop Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) from getting to the Chinese consul, Carter draws one on Lee before being disarmed and held at gunpoint by his own Beretta by Lee. Carter then draws a backup Beretta 92FS and points it at Lee before a cab driver draws his own Beretta 92FS onto the duo.
The Beretta 92FS is used by many of the FBI agents including FBI Special Agent Dan Whitney (Rex Linn). LAPD officers draw their Berettas when they mistake Carter for a criminal. Chief Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) holds and even disassembles one. Detective James Carter also has a 92FS as a back up weapon and notably uses it during the standoff with Lee before a cab driver pulls out his own Beretta 92FS and points it at Lee and Carter. It should be noted that the FBI has never authorized the Beretta 92FS for use by it's agents. During the film's time period, FBI agents carried the SIG-Sauer P226 or SIG-Sauer P228, like agent Russ.
In the beginning of the film, Chief Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) can be seen wielding a 2nd Generation Glock 17 while chasing Sang (Ken Leung). Other FBI agents are armed with the Glock. During the final firefight, a Chinese gangster can be seen hastily reloading another Glock 17 before being disarmed by Inspector Lee.
FBI Special Agent In Charge Warren Russ (Mark Rolston) also carries a SIG-Sauer P226 as his sidearm in the film. During the final firefight, an FBI agent can be seen firing a SIG-Sauer P226.
In the beginning of the film, Clive (Chris Penn) attempts to take Detective Carter (Chris Tucker) hostage with a two-tone Browning Hi-Power when two cops arrive.
LAPD bomb expert Tania Johnson (Elizabeth Peña) carries the Smith & Wesson 3913 as her weapon of choice. She is seen pulling it from a thigh holster and using it during the final confrontation at the Chinese art exhibition.
During the final firefight, Commander Griffin/Juntao (Tom Wilkinson) can be seen with a silver M1911A1 pistol, while he attempts to make his escape. He later discards it by throwing it off the catwalk top.
What appears to be a Taurus PT92AFS is used by a Chinese gangster confronted by Lee during the convention center shootout. Lee ejects the magazine and the round in the chamber from a thug's Taurus during a fight in the convention center.
When Lee (Jackie Chan) is mistaken for an intruder at the Chinese consulate, one of the agents responding to the situation can be seen carrying a Savage Model 11/111 rifle.
