Rush Hour (1998) - This blockbuster action comedy refashioned the buddy cop formula with the international star Jackie Chan and comedian Chris Tucker. In the film, both team up to rescue a woman who's been kidnapped. On the anniversary of this kick-butt classic, which grossed over $240 million at the box office, let's see what the cast of this runaway hit has been up to. (Photo: New Line Cinema)

Chris Tucker - Comedian Chris Tucker was cast as the arrogant and annoying Detective James Carter, who was paired with Jackie Chan. After doing two more Rush Hour sequels, Tucker virtually disappeared from the public eye. In 2012, he resurfaced, owing the IRS $18 million and, probably in an effort to pay them, headlining his comeback comedy tour. (Photo: Terry Rice/Getty Images)

Jackie Chan - Martial arts star Jackie Chan played Detective Lee. Unlike Tucker, who made no films after Rush Hour 3, Chan continued to make action blockbusters both in the U.S. and China. In May, the Karate Kid star, after years of injurying himself because he performed his own stunts, announced he was retiring from action films. (Photo: Jemal Countess/Getty Images)
