    This is a little more amusing than the first but the story is rubbish and it's basically a carbon copy of the first film. I can't believe Ziyi Zhang lowered herself to these depths. I have no interest in the 3rd.

    They should have left it with one. This is slightly funny but not much, its just the same as before but less original, its nice being set in Hong Kong but thats about the only thing original and decent about it.

    A funny, well choreographed, police investigation, Martial Arts sequel.

    A great comedy pairing between Tucker and Chan. A very entertaining watch.

    You would expect a movie like the first rush hour to have a sequel but you don?t expecit it to be as good. Rush hour 2 is faster and funnier than its predacessor . The story is a bit predictable but its easy to forgive when there is such a good cast (namely Chris Tucker) and awes...( read more)ome fight scenes. Overall its good to see a franchise that can sustain its quality.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The whole film plays like an outtake, and that I do mean as a compliment. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

How can a movie allow [Tucker] to be so obnoxious and make no acknowledgment that his behavior is aberrant? full review

August 2, 2001
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Though it lacks some of the high-spirited spark of the original -- it often feels like the fifth or sixth rather than the second in a franchise series -- the action and humor are enough to make an hou... full review

    awesome, awesome movie!

    -James Carter: Couldn't help noticin' how she was staring at a brother.
    Lee: She never even look at you.
    James Carter: You just jealous, Lee, 'cause women like me. I'm tall, dark and hansome and you third world ugly.
    Lee: I am not third world ugly, women think I'm cute. Like Snoopy.
    James Carter: Lee, Snoopy is 6 inches taller than you.


    -James Carter: You know, we could have been a good couple. We could have had something special. But you one crazy-ass bitch!
