I've seen this film a few times now and it always makes me laugh. It's a great blend of action and comedy, and Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker seem to work really well together because they act total opposites and play really well off each other.The plot's fairly basic with the standard sort of Hong Kong police story about drugs and revenge, but the two fish out of water characters (Chan in LA and Tucker in HK) just make it really enjoyable. The fight scenes are pretty cool (I really liked the one with the locker doors in the casino) and Tucker's jokes with that high pitched voice are just really funny.It's just a really fun action-comedy movie that is really enjoyable. Can't ask for more than that.

This sequel is truly excellent, definitely one of the better sequels to come out, and elevates where the original left off to a greater level. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker return as the double act, and Chan actually does more than he did in the predecessor in terms of action, and consequently is as lovable and vulnerable as always. Chris Tucker is very funny too, yet again his mouth runs away with him. On the most part, the script was perfectly agreeable, though the jokes could have been more fresh, and the plot, while clever and simple, wasn't as involving as the one in the predecessor, though there was an action-packed climax that was very satisfying. Putting these discrepancies aside, the action and the spirited performances from the entire cast, make this a very entertaining sequel. 8/10 Bethany Cox.

If you liked the loud mouthed trash talking black guy and the smashing stunt performing martial arts Chinese guy in the first film, then this sequel's good too. Detective James Carter and Chief Inspector Lee (Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan) return for a second rush, Rush Hour 2. A deadly gang are destroying buildings with bombs, and Carter and Lee (originally on vacation) are assigned to find the gang. Lee has the past haunting him during the process, because the gang leader, Ricky Tan (John Lone) killed his Dad. Carter is funny at being loud talking, and Lee is good at all his stunts. Also starring Zhang Ziyi as Hu Li, Roselyn Sanchez as Isabella Molina and Harris Yulin as Agent Sterling. Jackie Chan was number 41 on The 100 Greatest Movie Stars. Good!
