It's vacation time for Carter as he finds himself alongside Lee in Hong Kong wishing for more excitement. While Carter wants to party and meet the ladies, Lee is out to track down a Triad gang lord who may be responsible for killing two men at the American Embassy.
Things get complicated as the pair stumble onto a counterfeiting plot. The boys are soon up to their necks in fist fights and life-threatening situations.
A trip back to the U. Please on all those who want to download movies, posted of me, to make seed, at least Until another person has downloaded it from you, after you download complete movie. Between these hours, please those who can, to make your seed, namely, to seed between I want to be able to download the movie, each of your!
That's how you will thank me, for what I will offer. When they figure on their demise in this situation, thanks to Lee's insight, they work had and break-free!! Along the way of breaking from it, they accidentally stumble onto a load of C-notes hidden in some artistic statues.
When they head into the casino, Carter gives a brilliant diversionary performance all followed by dancing like 'Michael Jackson' on the craps table, with a big cowboy hat on, yes it's like Michael Jackson James is impressive though at the 'craps' table.
He takes quite a bit out with him in the end. Well, I mean he isn't going to retire on it but he does have a lot of fun with it. Before he makes it out, the evil-dragon lady attempts to kill him she lunges at him with a sword sticking it into his chest!
As he recovers he realizes, after reaching into his jacket pocket that it was the 'c'-notes in his pocket covering his heart that helped to save him from being run-through and he gleefully exclaims, " Thankyou -Benjamin!!! I love these guys! Even my little infant son would like them because both Carter and Lee exclaimed that they love 'Snoopy' too the Tattoo on the female agent 'Isabella' that they were watching Can't wait for '3' I recommend this 'warmer' than even the first, East meets West comedy team.
I've seen it 4 times, and it still makes me laugh! This summer, I had several opportunities to see this film and of course took those chances because I just couldn't stop laughing at this film, no matter how I knew what would happen in the next scene.
It has great humor and great chemistry that we haven't seen between two actors since Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. Carter and Lee are back and starting off where the first Rush Hour left off and that's in China. Lee is standing in the way of that though taking on his old cases, including finding out about a counterfeit scam, and finding out who killed his father.
He fools Carter several times, but together eventually team back to discover that you just "follow the rich white man" back to America and end up working undercover with the sexy Isabella Molina. But things get deeper as Lee finds out that the counterfeit scam and his father's killer might to be connected.
Rush Hour 2 is one of the funniest movies I have seen, not to mention one of the best movies of the year! I was extremely happy to see this movie and I cannot wait until the DVD!
Tucker's comments are toned down and ease the pain of the first movie. Chan once again does a great job of doing awesome stunts. This movie takes place in Hong Kong so it also adds to the fun. They also stop by LA and head to Las Vegas. Chan and Tucker have great chemistry in this film.
The bad guys are more believable here than in the first. Chan and Tucker provide hilarious moments. The fight in the massage parlor is THE best fight sequence I've ever seen not to mention the funniest. We gets some new characters that provide some hilarious moments.
The plot is existent throughout the film and it adds to the nice pace of the movie. You'll enjoy this one more than the first. Cant wait for Rush Hour 3. The dynamic 'Blackinese' duo return and they do so with a bite. We now have the situation completely reversed with Carter venturing into the unknown and Lee guiding him for the majority of the film.
Carter's interactions with the locals and clashes with the more calm Chinese culture compared to his audacious, egocentric personality are really the highlights yet again.
Yet another stellar script and consistent directing from Brett Ratner help to ensure this sequel doesn't bomb out. A little less realistic, but then again, if you are familiar with 'Rush Hour', realism isn't the first thing on the agenda as much as action work and comedy play. The script was a little less compelling this time and seemed to be driven with a lighter direction in mind although it was interesting to learn a little more of the backgrounds of our two leads.
Chris Tucker's loudmouth antics just about match up to his brilliant show in the original, his dialogue is as fresh, smooth, fast and excessive as ever. Oh, and did I mention as funny? He dominates the screen once again, takes charge and gives you his typical impulsive on-screen persona. Jackie Chan reaffirms his reputation as one of the world's best film stuntmen. His stunts yet again were terrifically executed and he was well supported by 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' star, Zhang Ziyi.
The 'bamboo scene' was comparable in awe-worthiness to the 'convention center' finale scene in 'Rush Hour'. Again as the more sensible and sedate Inspector Lee, his partnership with Tucker is as good as ever and the interplay once again is just plain, good fun.
We also saw a shift in the love interest angle with the introduction of the seductive, sexy secret service agent, Isabella Molina played by Roselyn Sanchez. Her allegiances mysterious, she really sizzles in her role. Now that the duo finally have a beautiful woman to fight over, any guesses as to who wins? If I don't give this 5 stars, it's simply because in some respects, it's a rehash of the original, in the same way in which you would deem Lethal Weapon 1 better than Lethal Weapon 2 or Beverly Hills Cop 1 superior to its successor.
If you did however enjoy the original formula, look into this. As I said, it is the same old thing in some ways, but in others, the Tucker-Chan combination still find ways to surprise and entertain. And yet again, do not miss the bloopers. Also don't miss Don Cheadle in surely one of the strangest roles you will see an African American man play. But a credit to him for it, he was outstanding. 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. It's just a really fun action-comedy movie that is really enjoyable.
Can't ask for more than that. Too funny and comical! Also when I was growing up, his movies were those which are at times on the television here. It was like four or five years back I saw this on an projector at the school hall of my alma mater, as part of the school's post-exam activities. Really, I almost laughed myself silly as I was watching with my other peers then. Jackie and Chris Tucker's chemistry just clicked with each other.
And watching Zhang Ziyi playing a bad girl, it was like - whoa! Watching some of the movie scenes being played out in Hong Kong somehow brought back some memories for this person who grew up watching some of those Hong Kong TV dramas with subtitles and Mandarin dubbing on the television here. Looking at some of those scenes, at times I wondered how really the western world will see Hong Kong.
But given many knew who is Jackie he is from Hong Kong himself actually , I knew it's a relief. The two guys are just real funny between each other. But when it's time for those kungfu moves and the stunts, it always excite me. It's always like that. Definitely really funny. Prepare to laugh in stitches.
But with these kinds of films, it is not so much originality at all. It is about being entertained. I mean going to this film and wanting to see something original is like going to see The Bridges of Madison County and rooting for violence, massive shootings, flying body parts and intense profanity.
The script or the actors.
