Rush Hour 2
August 6, 2001
Starring: Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker, John Lone, Zhang Ziyi, Roselyn Sanchez, Harris Yulin
Directed: Brett Ratner
Like the original, this sequel stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker as law enforcement agents fighting crime as only they can. This time an explosion at the U.S. Embassy in Hong Kong forces them back into action. They have to try to break up a counterfeit money ring that stretches from Hong Kong to Las Vegas. Rated 'PG-13' for martial arts type violence. Time between bathroom breaks: 105 minutes.

"Hilarious" is the best word to describe "Rush Hour 2." Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan team up again and will leave you in tears more than before. Traveling from Hong Kong to Los Angeles to Las Vegas, the duo left some kind of damage and mark. Okay, maybe Chris Tucker left most. All I have to say is, if I was related to the guy I would have a six-pack stomach from laughing with him and at him.
This movie never seemed to have a dull moment. Every time you think it can't get any funnier it does. Most sequels loose something, but in this one I think I laughed harder than the first. If you just want a good laugh Rush Hour 2 is the movie to see.
Is this movie worth the price of admission? OH YES!! Would I see it again? This will definitely be part of my collection.

Normally, I'm not much of a fan of Jackie Chan movies. I can't handle all the wild kicking and Karate chops. However, "Rush Hour 2" was a very funny movie that offers a nice balance between Jackie Chan's martial arts and Chris Tucker's hilarious jokes.
The two actors have a great chemistry between them and they feed off one another throughout the movie. This really adds to the humor, especially when Tucker tries to do martial arts moves or Chan tries making jokes.
This flick did have plenty of the wild martial-art-style fighting scenes; all of which are pretty far-fetched. Everything always works out perfectly for the good guys and it is horribly obvious who was going to win, no matter how outnumbered they are. Only the Harlem Globetrotters could have choreographed a win better.
Was this flick worth the price of admission? Yes, for the jokes mostly. Would I see it again? Sure.
