A Good sequel
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.

Just As Good As The First, If Not Better
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.

"Rush Hour 2"...much, much better than the original!!
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.
