Additional Features
New Line's Infinifilm series has set a high bar for DVD supplements, but where previous editions have been dedicated to director's visions, Rush Hour 2 is about the stars. This peek beyond the movie is most interested in looking at the performers. Watch Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in "Evolution of a Scene" as they rework three separate moments in rehearsal, and get an intimate glimpse of Chan's working methods in "Kung Fu Choreography." "Culture Clash" and "Language Barrier" view the unique challenges of an international production (would you believe Chris Tucker's karaoke vamp actually offended Hong Kong locals?). There's also audio commentary (director Brett Ratner and screenwriter Jeff Nathanson) and a host of other short featurettes, but, as any Chan fan will tell you, the most entertaining goodies are in the five minutes of additional outtakes in the Deleted Scenes gallery. --Sean Axmaker

Synopsis
A surprise box-office smash spawns this inevitably action-packed buddy comedy follow-up that reunites director Brett Ratner with stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Chan is Chief Inspector Lee of the Royal Hong Kong Police, who travels back to China with his American colleague, Los Angeles detective James Carter (Tucker). The men intend to take some vacation time but are quickly pulled into the case of two murdered U.S. customs agents, who were investigating an illegal counterfeiting scam involving Ricky Tan (John Lone), one of the most powerful Triad gangsters in Asia and an old enemy of Lee's. Lee and Carter are soon embroiled in a dangerous mystery that also involves a sexy secret-service agent (Roselyn Sanchez), a billionaire hotel owner (Alan King), a dangerous femme fatale (Zhang Ziyi) and a finale set in a lavish Las Vegas casino. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Customer Reviews

funnier and more action packed than the first one
i found this movie to be better than the first one.there's still lots
of action,but it's even funnier than the first.there's some really good
fight scenes,and Jackie Chan's moves are even more outrageous this time
around.the banter between Chan and Tucker is much funnier and more
natural.once again,although there is some violence it's not excessive
or gratuitous.i think there is also less coarse language than the
first,and like the first,there is no nudity,but there is a bit of
suggestiveness.overall,i though this movie was a great ride from start
to finish.it's even faster paced than the original,and Tucker and Chan
have even better general and comedic chemistry.for me,Rush Hour 2 is a
4/5

Sequil simply attempting to cash...
The orginal Rush Hour has some freshness, chemistry, and vitality to it, whereas RH-2 comes off as contrived and repetitious. Only for fanatics of Tucker or Chan.

Too much like the first one...
I thought that the movie was good, but it suffers from Jackie trying to act like Tucker did in the first one... The Beach Boys in one example when Tucker lobs the CD out the car window. Tt seems that Lee was a big head in this one... Carter was really wanting a vacation, but ends up in a big case involving a man that likes bombs and cold blooded murder.

The nice thing about the movie is that we get to see Chris Tucker duke it out at the massage parlor and with the chick at the casino. Other then that it could have done better without the rectcled lines from the first film...
