Python Hyena Rush Hour 2 (2001): Dir: Brett Ratner / Cast: Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker, Zhang Ziyi, Harris Yulin, John Lone: Mindless noise bent on capturing the same success as the first film, which in itself wasn't that good. A bomb goes off at the American Embassy killing two agents and Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are interrupted on their Hong Kong vacation to deal with it. They seek out a gang called the Triads whose leader is apparently responsible for the death of Chan's father. Director Brett Ratner effectively combines action and humour within a screenplay that presents absolutely no reason to bother with it. He previously made such films as Family Man and Money Talks as well the the first Rush Hour. This is just a time filling waste. Tucker is downright racist with foul mouth dialogue that recites every racial slur within reach. Chan is exhilarating with the stunts but that pretty much sums it up. He kicks ass and puts up with Tucker's bullshit. Zhang Ziyi is unfortunately flat as the villain and that is unfortunate since she gave an electrifying performance in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It presents the stunts but never a screenplay worth filming. It is the umpteenth buddy cop movie like many others seen every year. Some are well done while others, such as this one, just plainly suck. It is the kind of film that should be tossed into the ocean in hopes that it will sink to far to be found. Score: 2 / 10
Shawn Super funny comedy! Must watch! Lots of action! Great story line! Great for the family! I've watched it so many times! Hilarious! super great! Must see! Movie night! Very very good story line. The action is very well complimented by the comedy. This is a must see movie, super funny. It's perfect for the whole family, or just a movie night with friends, or even a bored plane ride. They go to china and America. They go to Las Vegas. The part where they go to the casino is funny. The massage parlor part maybe inappropriate for some children. The yacht scene is pretty funny. Over all this is a great movie and I recommend it to everyone. It's such a classic come movie, I've seen it a countless amount of times.
OllieSuave-007 The fast pace and quick action continue in this sequel to Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker's "Rush Hour." Chief Inspector Lee (Chan) and Detective James Carter (Tucker) are on vacation in Hong Kong, but Lee is distracted with police work and becomes embroiled in a counterfeiting case involving Hong Kong Triad Leader Ricky Tan (John Lone) and his beautiful but evil assistant Hu Li (Ziyi Zhang). Soon, Lee and Carter's vacation are spoiled and they end up in another rush to solve a high-profile case which involves the U.S. Secret Service.The hilarious game of culture clash, mismatch and quick humor of Lee and Carter continues. There is an endless supply of racial and racy comments coming from Tucker's motormouth and never-ending quick wit and action coming from Lee, but, like's its prequel, there is great chemistry between Chan and Tucker as they deliver another laughable and entertaining comedy. There are also more gags in this film than the previous, including the crazy scene where Chan and Tucker are stripped naked by the villains and are sent running around the streets in Hong Kong, and in the scenes where Tucker tries to speak Cantonese.The two female leads were a real treat in the film - gorgeous femme fatale Hu Li that is mercilessly evil and sly and cunning and the beautiful double agent Isabella Molina (Roselyn Sanchez) that is charming and no-nonsense. It was great to see them on screen together during the kidnapping and fight scenes; however, I just wished their one-on-one duel would have been longer.I especially enjoyed seeing many of the Hong Kong city scenes and the appearance of Hong Kong movie legends such as Kenneth Tsang (Captain Chin), John Lone (Ricky Tan) and members of Jackie Chan's stunt team.Overall, another great rush! Grade B+
Terry L Carter (Tucker) is back as the ultra manic cop from L.A. and once again is the perfect mismatch for the conservative Lee (Chan) as they bumble their way through police investigations this time in Hong Kong. Zhang Ziyi is at her nasty best with one of the finest angry faces on the screen, she alone is worth the price of admission. The movie is fast paced with a simple plot and lots of trademark characteristics from Tucker as expected.This is one of those movies that you probably need to watch at least twice to appreciate the funny side of. I have to say I did watch it many years ago at never even thought of watching it again. However, now I quote lines out of it along with my other family members and that dosen't start happening until you've watched a movies at least a half a dozen times, as we have.Highly recommended for those who are fans of Tucker, Chan, Zhang and can enjoy a movie without having to check for all the technical errors.
