Tweekums As this sequel starts LAPD Detective James Carter is in Hong Kong visiting his friend Chief Inspector Lee, of the Hong Kong Police. There plans are interrupted when Lee gets a call informing him of a bombing at the US Consulate General; which killed two agents investigating smuggling. He soon establishes a link to Ricky Tan, a Triad leader who had previously served in the RHKP as the partner of Lee's father… who he murdered. Lee confronts Tan on his yacht; it looks as though he is about to ask for protection when he is shot by Hu Li, a beautiful female assassin who worked for him. Carter notices a LA based billionaire hotelier on the yacht so assumes he must be behind whatever Tan had been smuggling. Lee and Carter head to LA, where events lead them to Isabella Molina, a secret service agent they'd first met in Hong Kong; she tells them that she is looking for printing plates for making 'superdollars'; near perfect forged hundred dollar bills. Further events lead them to Las Vegas where they must confront the smugglers.After the success of the first Rush Hour movie a sequel was fairly inevitable. Often sequels are a bit disappointing but thankfully this one was as much fun as the first. The Hong Kong setting for the first half of the film provided plenty of good excuses for amusing incidents as Carter misunderstands the culture or fails in his attempts to speak Chinese. The story is solid enough with a good twist towards the end. As well as lots of laughs there is plenty of impressive action; this is all impressively choreographed. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker have a good chemistry as Lee and Tucker; each bringing something different to the film. Zhang Ziyi really impresses as Hi Li; she may not say much but she is great in the action scenes. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of the original film and I look forward to watching 'Rush Hour 3'… I hope it is as good as the first two.

Leofwine_draca I have to say that I viewed the first RUSH HOUR movie as a typically average comedy, but I'm pleased to say that the sequel takes a no-nonsense approach to the action and as such is ten times better. Chan and Tucker are back and far more settled in their roles, particular Tucker who manages to be consistently funny here despite his OTT acting and outrageous dialogue. Chan is funny, too, and particular excellent in the frenetic fight and stunt sequences. To of my favourite moments involve him running up a diagonal bamboo pole and sliding effortlessly through a tiny little hole in a grille; these are classic Chan moments and fans of the actor will lap it up.The fast-moving plot involves a bunch of smugglers and a sexy undercover agent, played by Roselyn Sanchez with relish (perhaps a new Bond girl in the making?). Veteran John Lone (M. BUTTERFLY, and looking better than ever here) shares the criminal duties with newcomer Zhang Ziyi. The resulting pair presents plenty of sparky ego-action and acid dialogue, with Chan and Tucker on the receiving end at most points. The fight scenes take place in massage parlours, boats and there's plenty of fun to be had with parcel bombs and familiar supporting faces in the cast (Kenneth Tsang from THE KILLER, the judge guy from Ghostbusters II and a hilarious Don Cheadle to name but three). The denouement, in a Las Vegas casino, is absolutely brilliant, as Jackie infiltrates the hideout whilst Tucker proves an able diversion by his anti-racism speech at the blackjack table. A fine end to what is a very light and irrelevant, but nevertheless hugely FUN, movie.

julesdil No rush hour was extremely boring but 2 just sets the bar for a waste of a film once again the 2 fools produce no fun just silly jokes and real Borden its a mess i don't appreciate any positivity on this.

illbebackreviews 'Rush Hour (1998)' is one of my favorite comedy films and I usually don't expect much from sequels and as a result don't like them. I can happily say that 'Rush Hour 2' isn't one of these occasions. This movie picks off where 'Rush Hour' left and this film still stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Both still are hilarious and share that amazing chemistry. The plot behind this film is well thought off and the characters were great! The acting is fantastic, the dialogue is well written and the visual effects look great! However, the main strength lies with Tucker and Chan! ***SPOILERS***There were many hilarious scenes in this film such as when Carter confronts Ricky Tan and goes all crazy and gets both himself and Lee into a fight. The part where Carter accidentally punched Lee in the face was hilarious and the excuse he made up was hilarious! The ending to the movie is great as it clearly hints a sequel was on its way. The scene where Lee was spying on Isebella was hilariousThere were lots of great scenes to go with the movie***END OF SPOILERS***Overall, another must see!
