5.0 out of 5 stars Just As Good As The First, If Not Better August 5, 2001
By Mr. JKW
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....

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. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good sequel December 23, 2007
By Gunner VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Rush Hour 2"...much, much better than the original!! December 6, 2001
By Nicholas Williams
Format:DVD
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Summer Fun! September 1, 2001
By Sylvie Tremblay
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!

3.0 out of 5 stars Amazing moves and a few laughs March 24, 2002
By Meryl K. Evans
Format:DVD
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)!
