Heartwarming / Rush Hour 2

• When Carter and Lee are reunited after the latter mistakenly thought the former was killed in an explosion, the look on Lee's face is nothing but awestruck relief that his friend is alright. Doubles as a funny moment as well.
  • To add to this, Lee is heavily implied to have almost gone on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. This is after he had only known Carter for a total of maybe three years. He truly does care about him.
• Earlier on, Lee, having felt genuinely sorry about the disaster involving the Triad bar, takes Carter to a massage parlor to make it up to him. Carter is more than pleased about this — until Ricky Tan shows up.
• In movie one, Lee attempts to listen to The Beach Boys on Carter's car radio, leading to a hilarious back and forth where Carter is heavily implied to not be a fan of the band. In the first scene of them in Rush Hour 2? They're both happily singing and dancing to "California Girls". Awwww.
  • Likewise in the latter film, while Lee is grieving Carter's supposed loss earlier that day, he hears "I'll Be Missing You" on the radio while driving, and then proceeds to start dancing to it like Carter used to.
• At one point, Lee and Carter find themselves hanging precariously from a snapped-off piece of bamboo scaffolding about a few dozen feet off the ground. Carter is very obviously the most frightened out of the both of them, to the point of Tears of Fear. Lee immediately tries to reassure him, saying that the bamboo they're dangling from is "very strong".
