Summary: I love this movie!
Review: This is a great movie, it's hilarious. I watch it all the time, almost every weekend with my cousins. Even after the 19,839,823th time watching it, it still [cracks me]-up. The special features are really nice too, the outtakes are hilarious. I also enjoy the feature where you can view the movie with alternate scenes/endings.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Sequel
Review: This is an excellent sequel. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker continue with the same comedic chemistry. I think I liked this one better than the first. Be sure not to miss the bloopers at the end of the VHS. They're hilarious.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good American Chan Movie
Review: This movie is great. Simply hilarious. Chan and Tucker make a great team. I could not stop laughing.

Now, as a Jackie Chan movie. . . That's another story. Jackie Chan fans who have seen most all of his Hong Kong movies (including "Accidental Spy") will be a little let down. U.S. directiors like to (or have to) crimp on Chan's style. The fights are shorter and less impressive (using more special effects than all his HK movie combined). Director Brett Ratner seems especially CRITICAL of Jackie's style. He directly critisizes the roof-top fight in "Who Am I?" as beeing too long and pointless. DUH! It's Chan! The fight itself was the point!

Anyways, you'll find loads of fun behind-the-scenes stuff including interviews and making-of clips. You'll also find two "Lord of the Rings" trailers hidden in the scene selection area (this DVD was released before "LOTR" came out in the theaters).

Over all a great DVD of a great movie, just not a great Chan movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "I'll slap you back to Africa!"
Review: Yeah, yeah, I known that's not the line.

Rush Hour 2 is just as good as the first one. This time, Jackie and Tucker are in Hong Kong, taking on the Triads. There seems to be a war going on within the Triads. One of the better sequels of a movie.

Summary: Rush Hour 2 - -Rush Chris Tucker out of the Film Industry!!
Review: Pretty decent second outing with the pair trying to thwart an illegal counterfeiting operation and a subplot of Jackie Chan's character on a vendetta to find the man who killed his father. There's a lot of great stunt work, shootouts, action, and chase scenes with locations in Las Vegas, Hong Kong, and L.A., but any movie with Chris Tucker, gets an automatic 1 star. Chris Tucker plays the same character in all his films. Ever since he ruined THE FIFTH ELEMENT (people thought Jar-Jar Binks in SW-The Phantom Menace was annoying), any movie Chris Tucker (even the first RUSH HOUR) is in...STINKS!! For all those who agree, watch JACKIE BROWN, Chris Tucker gets oft in the first half hour of the film. (Samuel Jackson sticks him in the trunk of an automobile and does a James Cagny on him. That was funny!!) Jackie Chan is as great and engaging as usual..too bad Chris Tucker isn't.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Feel the Rush...
Review: A sequel that exceeds its predecessor. That in itself is an anomaly these days, but Rush Hour 2 packs enough wallop for both movies. How about some of the best lines in an action comedy in recent years? From one liners to the chemistry that has evolved between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, this movie will make you pause the scenes until you finish laughing. Hit play again and you'll be slapped with more humor. Carter runs through downtown Hong Kong, where no one knows what he is saying, yelling, "Get outta the way! L.A.P.D!" There's a moment in Hong Kong where Carter meets up with a chicken vendor and the laughs keep coming. Rush Hour 2 opts for a more sexy approach with the Chinese massage parlor scene, and the 2 main female characters who are sure to boggle the eyes of the male population. As for action, there's plenty of it to support the clever dialogue. The movie is so realistic and unrealistic at the same time, you'll be bringing the first movie back out and panting for Rush Hour 3. I can't leave out the fact that a story goes with this and it's told quite well, and for what this movie is, it doesn't burden the high-jinks, but supports it. Simply put, Inspector Lee has an old vendetta with the man who killed his father and Carter is pulled along from Hong Kong to L.A. A few plates need to be found from a counterfeit ring using them to make a "Superbill," which is identical to a real bill. Not quite an original story, right? Well, it's all in the way you tell it and Rush Hour 2 pulls off a good time and that's what we wanted to see.

Summary: Only thing missing is humor
Review: Could somebody please tell the producers of future Rush Hour movies to please include humor in future installments of the franchise? I couldn't find anything remotely funny in Rush Hour 2, just Chris Tucker annoying the hell out of everyone within sight and earshot. Correction, there was one funny element: director Brett Ratner is supposedly a huge fan of the film "Enter the Dragon." As a result, he chose Lalo Schifrin who did the score for that film to work on Rush Hour 2. Oddly enough, we get music that sounds like it belongs in a martial arts film from 1972! Anybody have a clue as to how Rattner came from out of nowhere to start directing big-budget Hollywood films? Who did he sleep with?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: JACKIE CHAN'S GREATEST MOVIE EVER!!!
Review: I watched this movie and it's super hilarious. I like it very very much.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Truly a sequel......
Review: Yep this is a sequel,for sure.In other words,it is shorter,has a lesser plot and isn't as funny.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 'Plenty of verbal humour'
Review: Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker reunite in a cracking new action blockbuster as Hong Kong's Chief Inspector Lee and LAPD detective James Carter. This time Carter is visiting Lee on holiday in Hong Kong-but of course things don't go smoothly and Carter's holiday is cut short by a bombing at the American embassy. Despite both detectives being off the case, they decide to anger all sorts of government agencies by attempting to find the bombers themselves. If you're a fan of the original, you won't be disappointed, in fact, this is even funnier. There's plenty of verbal humour from motor-mouth comic Tucker and Chan's trademark martial arts sequences are slicker then ever, including some amazing set pieces and stunts.
