Rush Hour II DVD

Rush Hour II starring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan is sort of a mixed bag. Partially a martial arts movie, but also, a comedy. This time they are in Hong Kong mixing it up with a Bad Guy. I know it sounds weird ,but it works. A laugh a minute, as they say. Packed with action.

Recommended for fans of Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan.

Summed up, I'd say Rush Hour 2 is just as good, if not better, than the original Rush Hour. The movie, like most Jackie Chan flicks, contains the same GREAT ACTION, GREAT STUNTS and GREAT LAUGHS that you've come to expect from Jackie flicks. This one does not disappoint.

Much like the original Rush Hour, Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan continue that awesome chemistry they have that made the original such a HUGE hit. This time though the tables are slightly reversed as the flick picks up in Hong Kong (right where the original ended when they took their vacation) with Tucker being the fish out of water doing cultural and language faux paux in Hong Kong. The movie actually continues some of the storyline threads of the original referring back to Jackie's (Inspector Lee's) deceased father. The basic premise of the storyline has Jackie and Tucker (along with the U.S. Secret Service) tracking down a counterfeit dollar bill ring throughout Hong Kong and the U.S. all the way to Vegas (where else). Tons of laughs and loads of action are left in the wake of their trail.

Highlights: Loads of laughs as Chris Tucker tries to speak Chinese and sing karaoke. Tons of AWESOME fight scenes (in particular the massage parlor scene). Tons of HILARIOUS (albeit perhaps politically incorrect) repartee with Chris Tucker. Our heroes streaking through the streets of Hong Kong. Tons of beautiful women.

Things to Beware of: Chris Tucker's mouth. While his tirades are often hilarious, some (like Roger Ebert) may find some the movies dialogue inappropriate (racist).

The End of Movie Bloopers: Of course being a Jackie Chan film, one of the distinct highlights of his movies are the end of movie bloopers. There are several goods ones in here, particularly a cell phone call and the big hint at the next Rush Hour flick (as was set-up in the closing scene of the movie).

Overall, it you are into Jackie Chan or Chris Tucker or Action Comedies or the first Rush Hour, you KNOW you'll be seeing this one. You won't be disappointed.

Highly Recommended.

I saw "Rush Hour 2" two times at the theaters, and the film kept getting better and better! "Rush Hour 2" has more action, more comedy than the first film! And both Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan just couldn't be better...or funnier! It doesn't mean that the first "Rush Hour" was a bad movie, because I loved the first one as well. Remember in the first film when Jackie Chan was the fish out of water in Chris Tucker's world of L.A? Well, now, it's Chris Tucker's turn to be the fish out of water in Jackie Chan's world of Hong Kong. "Rush Hour 2" chronicles L.A.'s Detective James Carter (Tucker) and Hong Kong's Detective Lee (Chan) investigating a counterfeiting scheme that involves a dangerous Chinese triad leader (John Lone). As far as the acting sequences go, Jackie Chan did an outstanding job as always. And hey, even Chris Tucker decided to get in on the action as well, and that was amazing! Zhang Ziyi ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon") did a superb job as well in her villainous role as the triad leader's henchwoman. In conclusion, if you want to see a typical buddy-buddy cop movie, then I suggest that you see "Rush Hour 2" as soon as possible! A great DVD addition to add on to the first one.

I don't know what it is about "Rush Hour 2" that gives me this great feeling whenever I see it. It just makes me smile for an hour and a half, and I mean that.

Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are back to fight some very bad guys in "Rush Hour 2". Basically, it's about a year or so later, and Carter (Tucker) and Lee (Chan) are now in China, cruising the streets. But, one thing leads to another, and they're after bad guys again, this time trying to stop a counterfit scheme that leads them from China to L.A., and then to Las Vegas.

But, when you go to see "Rush Hour 2", you aren't going for the story, you're going to see Chris Tucker crack some jokes and Jackie Chan crack some necks. Anytime Chris Tucker is on screen, you are guarenteed to laugh. I personally never stopped laughing. Plus, for anyone who is into martial arts, watching Jackie Chan is just amazing. He is a great stuntsman and action star. Together Chan and Tucker are the perfect action-comedy duo since Mel Gibson and Danny Glover.

I liked "Rush Hour 2" so much, I went back and sw it for a second time and I still laughed. I actually took someone who is french and barely spoke english and they loved it as well. And the best part is that it's a movie for everyone. So make a date, and take the family to go see "Rush Hour 2". I guarentee you'll like it!

I liked Rush Hour 2 better than the first one. In the second the script was funnier, the stunts were crazier, and the producers remembered that good-looking women sell movies, so there is an abundance of those, including Zhang Ziyi (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon).

Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker have a great chemistry on the screen. Jackie Chan does some amazing martial art stuff, using for that purpose pretty much any conceivable item, while Tucker spits out outrageous lines and insults a mile a minute. The movie is really funny, really entertaining, and after this summer of one lousy movie after another - it's definitely a sight for a sore eye.

Highly recommended.

The movie was not as good as the original, but it was better than a typical sequel. There were plenty of laughs and amazing martial arts movements. I don't think I'd buy the movie, but it's definitely worth renting. The storyline wasn't too tight, but lots of one-liners. Like the first one, it ends with bloopers and those are a kick (pun intended)!

Forget about what the critics said, with all the negative reviews out there I thought Rush Hour 2 was just more of the same thing, instead, this was the most fun I've had watching a movie this year. Director Brett Ratner did a great job with this sequel, more laughs with non-stop action, this is one film you should not miss in a summer filled with disappointments.

On vacation in Hong Kong, Inspector Lee and Detective Carter finds themselves in the midst of another case, this time they are after a triad boss dealing in smuggling and money laundering. Although we've learned not to expect too much in the plot of an action movie, Rush Hour 2 actually offered a decent story, with a few twists thrown in. The strength of this film rests on the chemistry between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, and since the characters already have a relationship with each other, it's great to see those two being so comfortable in the roles and having so much fun with it. At 47 Chan is still agile and it's still a delight to watch him in action; Tucker on the other hand was able to be funny without being overbearing. Even though Zhang Ziyi had almost no dialogue, she held her own portraying the bad girl on a mean streak, beautiful yet deadly, a powerful combination.

Rush Hour 2 is definitely a crowd pleaser, don't go in with a high expectation, and you'll find it surprisingly enjoyable, there was never a dull moment. Be sure to stay for the blooper reel at the end, and you know what, Rush Hour 3 doesn't seem like such a bad idea now, I actually find myself looking forward to it.

I've been a Jackie Chan fan ever since I saw "Rumble in the Bronx" in theatres. He's awesome. And Chris Tucker? Well, he was good in "The Fifth Element." "Rush Hour" was entertaining, but kind of got boring after a few viewings. Now New Line Cinema was very smart to make a sequel for this blockbuster. "Rush Hour 2" is a blast! It is hilarious, has some good fighting, and has "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" star Zhang Ziyi (how do you pronounce that?). Great fun and definitely the hottest movie of the summer. See it ASAP. Suggest for 13 and over due to language, some action violence, and sexual material.

Three words, NOTHING BUT FUN! This is one of those sequales that is equally good if not better to the first film. What makes this film better is that there are lots more fighting, the comedies funnier, and the film moves along at a faster pace. The film also dose that entire thing a sequale should do, hafe of it has to give you what the first film did, and the other hafe should be brand new and fresh. Rush Hour 2 dose both, which most sequlle dose neither. Only the two title charecters come back, but the new cast makes up for, that with great supporting charecters. Zang Ziyi was the perfect choice for the films villin [...] who gets what she deservers in the end. The reason shes such a great villin is that the audience can loath her for a few simple reasons, yet in most summer movies these days the villins are pathetic, and are totally unthreatining, Toumb Raider comes to mind (though that film was ok but that not important). I own the DVD and it's filled with lots of goodies, Directer, screen writer Commentery, 3 trailers, 2 Teasers, 1 Theatrical, 9 dealeted scenes with optional directers commentery, they can also be put back in the movie along with infini films option, 5 mineuts and 37 secounds of unshown outtakes, a 2 mineut student film by the dirctor, 7 short featurettes, and a evolution of scene. Rush Hour 2 it definetly the Rush of 2001, and it's one of the shortest and funniest 87 mineuts you will have watching a movie. This is definetly a party film, or the kind of film you watch when you have a lot of your freinds over, get out the popcorn and pop, and other snack. It action like you've never seen it before, gerentued, and that the best recommendation you can get. Highly recommended.

This is my land. Here, *I* am Michael Jackson and *you* are Toto. You mean Tito! Toto is what we ate for dinner last night! With lines like that, how can you not love this movie? Rush Hour 2 once again pairs Jackie Chan, the fastest hands in the East with Chris Tucker, the Meet the biggest mouth in the West.

If you loved the first Rush Hour, you will love this one as well. This is an action pack movie with Jackie Chan's amazing stunt work and Chris Tucker's amazing comedic presence. This is a very very funny and entertaining movie.

This movie also stars Roselyn Sanchez, and the gorgeous Zhang Ziyi of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon fame as a crazed assassin. Zhang is great in this movie and some of the action scenes are amazing as well as funny. Let's hope this movie makes enough money to justify `Rush Hour 3'
