...out the DVD release of Rush Hour 2 – This Time It’s Really Personal, Honest Guv'ner.
***YER BASIC PLOT***
Basic ain’t the word… Continuing straight on from the end of Rush Hour, Detective Carter (Chris Tucker) is vacationing in Hong Kong with his buddy Detective Lee (Jackie Chan). Lee is very devoted to his work, and as he shows Carter around his city, gets involved with a mystery bomber case after two workers at the American ... ...it over. If the first Rush Hour was set up as a showboat for Jackie Chan’s big USA comeback (and it was), then this is extra sugar on the pancake.
So, with that in mind, and the premise of the movie tucked into your brain firmer than a fish into a keyhole, what of the DVD extras that promise to enrich your life and make sitting in front of your TV lean just the right side of educational?
Like De La Soul and Chaka Khan said – “it ...

Much better than the first in my humble opinion. A bit expensive to watch on Sky Box Office at £3.50 perhaps, better of renting it out on Video/DVD if you've not seen it yet, but well worth the money. Enjoy!

...time for another rush…
Rush Hour, the original film released in 1998 was an instant success. It took over 250 million dollars worldwide, so it was hardly surprising that a sequel was going to be made. The story continues with exactly the same cast, and provides more of the same action. Jackie Chan is Chief Inspector Lee of the Hong Kong Police, is teamed up with LAPD officer James Carter (Chris Tucker). Carter is on holiday in Lee’s ... ...comparison between the two films, Rush Hour 1 and 2, both are excellent. Rush Hour 1 was original when it came out; both combine excellent stunts, fast paced action and tense moments. While this one everything is expanded, the stunts are bigger and better, characters are expanded, and just in general everything good.
The film lasts 93 minutes and is rated 12. There is a lot of fighting, but no real gore or blood. It runs in widescreen 2:35:1 ratio, ...

Advantages: Fighting, The two stars work well together Disadvantages: Painfully under-written role for Ziyi Zhang
Would it surprise you to learn that this is the sequel to “Rush Hour”? Of course it wouldn’t. I’ve never seen the original, but by all accounts it was quite an enjoyable movie and was successful enough to justify this sequel. The original had Hong Kong policeman Lee (played by kung-fu movie master Jackie Chan) pursuing a case to LA and buddying up with wise cracking LA cop James Carter (Chris Tucker). RH2 has Carter travelling ... ...old buddy. However, when a bomb explodes in the US embassy Lee is put on the case and drags along Chris, who only really wants to have some fun. A local Triad gangster, Ricky Tan, is initially implicated in the bombing, however following the intervention of the US secret service we learn that he is a front for a bigger fish and Lee and Carter are warned off the case. Unable to drop the matter , Lee and Carter interfere once too often and when things ...

...in this and the first Rush Hour film. He has a lot more to battle with in this film, stars that do not speak English, filming in a foreign land and Chris Tucker. Even with this new challenges he seems to get the best out of the two main stars and having done the first film, knows what he wants as to the portrayal of the characters.
I have to admit to not being the greatest of fans of Jackie Chan, but like the way he uses everyday items within his ... ...co-star as in the first Rush Hour and also Shanghai Noon. On saying this both the Rush Hour films are excellent with great performances, which have renewed his career worldwide, making him a true international celebrity.
Chris Tucker is his normal over the top character in the film, a type of role that suits him very well. His role as Ruby Rhod the “chat show host” from the Fifth Element set him up well with this style of character. ...

..."The fastest hands in the East meet the biggest mouth in the West"
A couple of friends and I went out last weekend to see RushHour2, having seen RushHour in the cinemas and thoroughly enjoyed it, we decided to see RushHour2 which was a great film too.
Anyway, I decided to revisit the first film in its DVD form. Ahhh I bet you thought I was going to about RushHour2 in the wrong category eh? This is my first review and I decided to look around the site reviewing others before I wrote my first review, and I saw that reviews in the wrong catergory are not favoured by the powers that be the ciao community. Anyway back to the DVD.
I am a big fan of Jackie Chan movies, I think his stunt work is incredible and his acrobatic abilities are great though his acting is questionable. Chris Tucker is also a great charcter and the high...

Advantages: sometimes amusing, packed with extras Disadvantages: not too original
...RushHour is one of those films that isn't very original. If it isn't done in the right way then it can end up as a very bad film. However with a few good elements it can be entertaining. RushHour is a mix of both. The film is made worthwhile by Jackie Chan's funny charm and very exciting martial arts scenes. However Chris Tucker is incredibly annoying and does the film no favours.
The plot involves some chinese gangland thing with some stolen art. But who cares about that when Chan is kicking, flipping and stripping people with a deft hand and foot. It's a case of removing the brain and not expecting much.
The film is produced by New Line Cinema and as dvd purists know this is the studio to beat when it comes to Region 1 dvd output.
RushHour is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. The transfer is flawless with little...

DVD Description
Crime fighting has never been so hazardous--or funny. Chopsocky action star Jackie Chan reteams with motormouth Chris Tucker in this RUSH HOUR sequel as the mismatched cop duo investigate several bombings in Hong Kong attributed to Chinese gang leader Ricky Tan (John Lone) and an assassin (Zhang Ziyi), whose beautiful, balletic kick packs a head-ringing wallop. A fish out of water in exotic Hong Kong, Tucker talks his way into reams of trouble, saved time and again by Chan's frantic fighting. Though the two detectives are taken off the bombing case, unpaid debts between Chan and the criminals lead the detectives back to the U.S. and into the middle of an international counterfeiting racket that only Chan and Tucker can expose. Fans of the first RUSH HOUR can't miss this hilarious sequel, and buddy-cop movie aficionados will recognize the dazzling zingers slammed back and forth between Chan and Tucker as the true sign of a winning film.

"...[Chan] remains a peerless physical performer....Director Brett Ratner keeps us briskly hopping from one action set piece to the next..." (Sight and Sound, p.57-8, 01/10/2001)
