The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

It's a very good sequel. I thought it would be better than the first, but I don't think it quite is. Rush Hour 2 is not as action-packed as it is in the first, but there's definitely more humour to it. The story is good, and will keep you interested. It is a worthy sequel to watch if you haven't already seen it. However, for me, it's not one of those sequels you would watch again and again unlike its predecessor.

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.

Chief Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) invites Detective Carter (Chris Tucker) to vacation in Hong Kong except Lee can't seem to stop working. Then there's a bombing at the US consulate and triad leader Ricky Tan (John Lone) is the immediate suspect. Also they keep running into the beautiful and deadly Hu Li (Ziyi Zhang).Chris Tucker has some cultural fun in Hong Kong. The chicken is especially funny. There is some good action. The bamboo scaffolding is the most memorable. The duo still has some chemistry. Chris making fun of Jackie's English is always funny. However not all the jokes are funny. The constant Chinese conversations and the stone faced Hong Kong extras don't make for funny comedy. It's really only Chris and Jackie making the jokes. I think they need a third.

"Buddy Cop" genre films require a lot of attention no matter if it's the first or third installment. The first Rush Hour (1998) I found fairly entertaining because of its relationship between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker's opposite like personalities. Of course, this is the defining element of these kinds of movies. But it worked so well for this franchise not just because Chan is Chinese and Tucker's American, but because how extremely opposite their version of negotiations are denoted as. Carter (Tucker) is more upfront, while Lee (Chan) is more diplomatic, that is until he's forced to be upfront when Carter drags him into trouble.The sequel to Rush Hour (1998) is just as entertaining if not slightly more because some of the bad things I mentioned in my review for the first film have been omitted for this one. Right after the first film, Carter and Lee are now in China, for vacation, and end up trailing on another bad guy's tail. The villain this time is Ricky Tan played by John Lone. Lone plays his character just as sinister as from The Shadow (1994) and that's good. It shows that he hasn't lost touch with playing evil characters.The stereotypical jokes are still in this film just like the last one but they seem to be funnier than before. Maybe that's because Jackie Chan's the one saying them? I'm not sure. Also the lack of communication between Lee and Carter are funny too. Too see both characters bewildered at the same time and have no clue what's going on is a total knee-slapper. I got more laughs than I did for the first and that's saying something. The action was great and music by Schifrin was still entertaining.The first installment to Rush Hour (1998) is actually more fun than the first but it still could be funnier without the constant crude jokes.
