Python Hyena Rush Hour 2 (2001): Dir: Brett Ratner / Cast: Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker, Zhang Ziyi, Harris Yulin, John Lone: Mindless noise bent on capturing the same success as the first film, which in itself wasn't that good. A bomb goes off at the American Embassy killing two agents and Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are interrupted on their Hong Kong vacation to deal with it. They seek out a gang called the Triads whose leader is apparently responsible for the death of Chan's father. Director Brett Ratner effectively combines action and humour within a screenplay that presents absolutely no reason to bother with it. He previously made such films as Family Man and Money Talks as well the the first Rush Hour. This is just a time filling waste. Tucker is downright racist with foul mouth dialogue that recites every racial slur within reach. Chan is exhilarating with the stunts but that pretty much sums it up. He kicks ass and puts up with Tucker's bullshit. Zhang Ziyi is unfortunately flat as the villain and that is unfortunate since she gave an electrifying performance in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It presents the stunts but never a screenplay worth filming. It is the umpteenth buddy cop movie like many others seen every year. Some are well done while others, such as this one, just plainly suck. It is the kind of film that should be tossed into the ocean in hopes that it will sink to far to be found. Score: 2 / 10

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.

hoxjennifer I personally enjoyed Rush Hour 2 more than the original, although the comedic premises of the original are still present in this film. This time, Carter and Lee find themselves "on vacation" in Hong Kong. While Carter wants Lee to let loose and meet ladies, Lee pursues a case involving Asian gangsters and counterfeit money. The addition of two seductive female leads, Hu Yi and Special Agent Isabella make this a very interesting sequel. In Rush Hour 2, Carter and Lee's friendship develops. The initial reluctance to work with each other is now gone, and Carter finds himself staying loyal to Lee even after all the mishappen adventures that he finds himself in with him, even when he's on vacation. This movie is a lot of fun. Although the stunts are a little outdated in this day and age, this is great comedy that can't be passed off.

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!
