Tear Jerker / Rush Hour (1998)

Go To

  • Everything about Soo Yung’s capture. Her screams of utter terror as she’s frantically trying to get away, followed up by her distraught father’s reaction once he’s delivered the news.
    • Keep in mind, this was only her first day of school in a new country.
  • When it seems like Carter and Lee have nearly ruined Consul Han’s chances of getting Soo Yung returned home safely, both look genuinely remorseful for what they’ve done. Lee especially has a My God, What Have I Done? expression all over his face.
  • The scene where Carter reveals what happened to his father. He was a devoted police officer who died due to some random punk with a gun, all because of a traffic ticket. Worse, his partner could have done something, but didn't out of fear. Small wonder why Carter had such a negative view towards partners.
    • It's also sad how Carter implied that he sees his father's final actions as "meaningless", if mostly to convince Lee to not quit. Earlier, Lee stated in anger that Carter disgraced his father, which probably touched a nerve.
