Tear Jerker / Rush Hour 2

• When Lee witnesses an explosion destroy his room at the police precinct, his first instinct after getting back his bearings is to run towards the smoldering wreckage, screaming frantically for his best friend because as far as he knows, Carter is still inside. Lee mentioned in movie one that he lost a partner before having met Carter. Now he probably thinks he’s lost his second partner. Ouch.
  • Heck, things get even sadder for a while after that. After a brief cut back to Carter enjoying his time in Hong Kong, we're treated to the sight of Lee again, and see that he’s sitting hunched over, looking absolutely devastated because he assumed that he couldn’t save his best friend. Once the duo are later reunited, the expression on Lee’s face is enough to bring on those tears of joy.
