A pairing as full of comedic possibilities as Rush Hour's Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker needs a soundtrack that will exploit their personalities, with Tucker playing the big-city wise guy and Chan the self-deprecating clown. In mixing urban grooves and Eastern melodies, Lalo Schifrin's score compliments the stars perfectly. The main title sets the stage with a pounding rhythm that provides the background for distorted guitars playing an Oriental theme. "Soo Yung's Abduction"'s requisite foreboding string figures contrast with the '70s cop show horns and funky bass of "Lee Arrives In L.A." The mix is most potent on "Jumping the Bus" where traditional Oriental melodies give way to a loose fusion groove. In his mastery over both styles and his ability to effortlessly combine them, Schifrin has once again proven himself one of the most effective film composers of his era.
When director Brett Ratner was presented with the opportunity to direct "Rush Hour," he saw it as a chance to revisit one of his favorite movies of all time, "Enter the Dragon." "Rush Hour" teams Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan in a combination of eastern action and western comedy. However as Ratner knew, there was one specific player essential to the success of an "Enter the Dragon" for the 1990's: legendary composer, Lalo Schifrin. "To me, he's as important as the main actors. His music is another character; it just adds so much!" Schifrin's score, a blend of funky urban grooves and exotic Chinese instrumentations, puts the kick behind every wise crack and close call Chan and Tucker endure. His main theme sets the stage with a wildly exciting collage of guitars, Asian scales, mysterious chord progressions, tom-tom crashes, and a driving beat. "Rush Hour" finds Lalo Schifrin at the top of his form, proving that for the composer of such classic film and television music as "Mission: Impossible," "Cool Hand Luke," and "Dirty Harry," there are no limits to capability.
