Pluskylang Great Film overall
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
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.
adonis98-743-186503 Carter and Lee head to Hong Kong for vacation, but become embroiled in a counterfeit money scam. Thanks to a great chemistry between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, terrific action sequences and some really funny and hilarious situations and dialogue Rush Hour 2 stays true to it's roots and it doesn't try to get bigger or better than the original movie in fact it's just as good if not better depending on you of course. The film is only 90 minutes and yet it doesn't feel overblown or boring it has a terrific supporting cast such as Ziyi Zhang, Roselyn Sanchez and Harris Yulin and as much hate that Brett Ratner might receive everyday because of 'X-Men: The Last Stand' he actually did a great and decent job with this particular buddy cop Trilogy.
Shawn Super funny comedy! Must watch! Lots of action! Great story line! Great for the family! I've watched it so many times! Hilarious! super great! Must see! Movie night! Very very good story line. The action is very well complimented by the comedy. This is a must see movie, super funny. It's perfect for the whole family, or just a movie night with friends, or even a bored plane ride. They go to china and America. They go to Las Vegas. The part where they go to the casino is funny. The massage parlor part maybe inappropriate for some children. The yacht scene is pretty funny. Over all this is a great movie and I recommend it to everyone. It's such a classic come movie, I've seen it a countless amount of times.
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!
