Rush Hour 2

UK Release Date: 3rd August 2001

Carter and Lee head to Hong Kong for vacation, but become embroiled in a counterfeit money scam (www.imdb.com).

Director: Brett Ratner (Rush Hour, The Family Man, Red Dragon)

Starring: Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker, John Lone, Ziyi Zhang, Roselyn Sanchez

Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are back for another easy-going stint of antics. The first Rush Hour was a surprising hit. Rush Hour 2 follows it in similar fashion, except this time the innocence of our unlikely duo is replaced with slapstick humour and race jokes. Wise-cracking LA cop James Carter (Tucker) takes a vacation to Hong Kong with Lee, China's finest detective, but they become embroiled in a money laundering scam. Tucker is slightly subdued than last time relying on wit whern he lacks in combat. Chan is again a joy to watch. Less naive this time and more charming. Rush Hour 2 won't wow anyone, but there is enough fun to be found as Lee and Carter traverse the globe causing more chaos.

3/5
