Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a great sequel to a great movie
Review: this one kicks as much as the first one did. I think putting Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker together is pure brilliance and their on screen partnership pays off big. Theres lots more action sequences, comedy and some sexy ladies. This one first starts off in Hong Kong where Chan is showing Tucker a good old time around the place and trying to find out who blew up the american embassy and the hong kong headquarters. Then they go back to Tucker's territory and finish off the movie there in LAs Vegas. One of the funniest scenese include Tucker and that chinese chick and they are fighting and Tucker wants to go out of a date, just hilarious. This one has its moments. If you havent seen this, check it out

Summary: Rush Hour 2- Get Ready for A Second Rush
Review: Rush Hour 2 is just as good as the original and perhaps better. Jackie Chan does some pretty amazing and innovative work here with his creative and deadly stunts. Tucker is always hilarious, making every other line make you laugh. Director Brett Ratner and writer Jeff Nathason make a good sequel, this one for the most part is a lot funnier, in terms of action/ violence though it seemed equal though.
The plot of this one is pretty predictable but the film never manages to be boring. Essentially, Tucker and Chan think their stay in Hong Kong will be a rural vacation turns out a bomb which detonates at the American Embassy has killed two American agents. Chan makes a reluctant Tucker investigate with him. From here this becomes a funny, worthwhile buddy picture.
Though the jokes seemed to be a bit over-the-top in contrast to the origianl they still made you laugh. The jokes were for the most part racist, if that bothers you then this one might not be a good pick for you.
Rush Hour 2 has stunning locations from Hong Kong to L.A. to Las Vegas. A nice cast includes Roselyn Sanchez, John Lone, Zhang Ziyi (from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Harris Yulin. It's more than inevitable from the ending that there'll be a Rush Hour 3 and who could possibly not want there to be one.
Rush Hour 2 is rated PG-13 for Action, Violence, Language and Some Sexual Material. The violence includes mainly martial art fights, some bloodless gunplay(less that in the original) and at certain points excessive language, some of which is strong for the "PG-13" rating.
For the most part this is one great buddy comedy, I luckily had the privilege of viewing in theatres and was glad I did for it was well worth it. I now own it on DVD and am pleased to have it part of my collection. Buy it or atleast rent it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ACTION PACKED and HILARIOUS !!!
Review: I actually like this one better than the first 'Rush Hour'. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker get alone alittle better in this one and Chan isn't quite as serious in this one.
Tucker is so funny in this one it reminded me of how funny he was in 'The Fifth Element'. The action sequences are fantastic and as always, Chan is amazing.
If you like action and can handle some goofy humor, this movie is for you!
I give it an easy 5 stars.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A disappointment
Review: Absolutely loved the first one, but this one was just OVER-done. Tucker is usually hilarious when he runs his mouth, but everything he said in this one seemed so forced and unfunny. There were exactly two moments in this movie where I let out a little chuckle. The fighting and action scenes were pretty good...but even those were a step down from chan's usual. He's gettin a little old.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Chan , and Tucker Funny Stuff
Review: Chan and Tucker, funny funny funny, Vegas is a great setting for this very funny movie, Brett Ratner you out did yourself on this one, the scene in the lobby of the Golden Dragon was great Chris Tucker destroys Michael A. Tessiero but with a certain niceness, works great for a good laugh, Jackie and Chris you are funny men.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: LEE,WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAID?
Review: This time,Lee(Jackie Chan) and Carter(Chris Tucker)Are heading to Hong Kong to stop the triades crime organisation.Much,much better than the first movie(although that one kicked my a$$ too) and simply FUNNY.Even if you didn't like the first part that much,give them one more chance,you will thank me!The best part is when Chris talks about...blah,just see it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Chemistry is just not there
Review: In the first Rush Hour I thought the relationship between the two leads was forced, in this one it is nearly nonexistent. Watching Chan and Owen Wilson in Shanghai Noon I got a real feeling of comraderie. Having failed to capture that feeling in this film there is little they can do to make it a truly enjoyable film. It's just 2 hours of decent comedy action.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Infinifilm doesn't mean Goodfilm
Review: I bought this DVD without seeing the movie because my mother highly recommended it and because I wanted to see what Infinifilm was all about. My wife and I were extremely disappointed with the movie, especially because we liked the first one so much. There doesn't seem to be anything new or original, just more stupid. All those who think Jackie Chan movies are going downhill, raise your hand!

We like the Infinifilm concept because it prompts you to watch the special features that are all too often neglected. Too bad for us this DVD will be often neglected!
