At its best, Rush Hour 2 compares favorably to Chan's glossiest Hong Kong hits, and when the action moves to Las Vegas (where Don Cheadle makes an unbilled cameo), the movie goes into high-pitched hyperdrive, riding an easy wave of ambitious stuntwork and broad, derivative humor. Echoes of Beverly Hills Cop are too loud, however, and stale ideas (including a comedic highlight for Jeremy Piven as a gay clothier) are made even more aggravating by dialogue that's almost Neanderthal in its embrace of retro-racial stereotypes. Of course, that's what makes Rush Hour 2 a palatable dish of mainstream comedy; it insults and comforts the viewer at the same time, and while some may find Tucker's relentless hamming unbearable, those who enjoyed Rush Hour are sure to appreciate another dose of Chan-Tucker lunacy. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Rush Hour 2 (Special Edition)
And they dare to make another! How does Chris Tucker keep getting movie deals? He's terrible, he's got to be pleasuring someone higher up in the biz. Jackie Chan isn't a great actor, but he has some appeal and he knows his kung fu. But, Tucker has nothing going for him. And why, do producer/directors think racism sounds better coming out of black person's mouth? It's all stupid and ignorant baloney and always was. Stop please, and start making better movies.
"I'm on vacation man, and I want some moo-shoo!" "Moo-Shoots? You hungry?"
I really enjoyed the first Rush Hour but you can tell that Jackie Chan was given more control over the action in this one, the action is 10 times better than in the first one while the comedy stays at the same level.

>Chris Tucker plays James Carter, a high-strung, motor-mouthed LAPD detective whose captain (Philip Baker Hall) is tired of his antics - and, yes, we've all heard that one before. The captain selects Carter as a candidate for an embarrassing job as a "babysitter" for Hong Kong detective inspector Lee (Jackie Chan), who has been invited to America by the Chinese consul (Tzi Ma), whose young daughter was violently kidnapped. The thing is, the FBI doesn't want a foreigner interfering with their investigation, so that's why they need somebody to "babysit" Lee and keep him away from the Feds.

>On the surface, this is a routine, familiar cop movie combining some unoriginal elements - the "fish out of water", the "culture clash", the "mismatched partners" bits, etc. However, it turns out to be genuinely entertaining and funny; Tucker and Chan turn out to be a good team (Tucker is particularly funny), and they are surrounded by a capable supporting cast. One thing I must say is that the identity of the mysterious villain "Juntao" will be unfortunately easy for some to guess...but I won't say more than that.

>Being a huge Chan fan I tend to enjoy his Hong Kong movies better where he has complete control and, although the plot sometimes suffer, the action is far superior to anything Hollywood has to offer (check out Legend of Drunkin Master). You can see he was given some control over the action in "Rush Hour 2," making it his best American movie to date. One of these days Hollywood will get smart and give Chan complete control over a movie (action wise, with his own people) with the big Hollywood budget and he will make the best action movie EVER!!
