Amazon.co.uk Review
Rush Hour 2 retains the appeal of its popular predecessor, so fans will enjoy the antics of the returning stars, Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. The action--and there's plenty of it--starts in Hong Kong, where Detective Lee (Chan) and his LA counterpart Detective Carter (Tucker) are attempting a vacation, only to get assigned to sleuth a counterfeiting scheme involving a Triad kingpin (John Lone), his lethal henchwoman (Zhang Ziyi, from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and an American billionaire (Alan King). Director Brett Ratner simply lets his stars strut their stuff, so it hardly matters that the plot is disposable, or that his direction is so bland he may well have directed the film from a phone in a Jacuzzi.
At its best, Rush Hour 2 compares favourably to Chan's glossiest Hong Kong hits, and when the action moves to Las Vegas (where Don Cheadle makes an unbilled cameo), the film goes into high-pitched hyper-drive, riding an easy wave of ambitious stunt-work and broad, derivative humour. However, echoes of Beverly Hills Cop are easy to see 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, Amazon.com

Wow went to see this film when it was on at the pictures. i liked the first film even though the reviews werent great. Once again the critics didnt rate this film that only made me more eager to see it. When the action gets going its non stop and if that doesnt get you hooked than the fact you will have trouble turning the dvd off through your tears of laughter will. The stunts of jackie chan are awesome and the gags match.

I did not really enjoy the first Rush Hour, it was entertaining but not a film that I could watch too many times.
Rush Hour 2 is a completly different kettle of fish, it's excellent. It's almost the perfect comedey/action movie.
Both Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan are excellent as a comedy duo and both did their bit in the action/fighting scenes (obviously Jackie Chan's stunts and skills stood out)

I brought this after my friend recommended it, it did not dissapoint me and it won't dissapoint you. If you loved the first one you will love this, if you like action movies you will love this.........whatever your preferences you will love this.

Those of you who have seen and enjoyed Rush hour will not be dissappointed by the sequel. The combination of Jackie Chan's unbelievable action with Chris Tucker's humour make yet again another hit. It is definitely worth watching and adding to any movie buffs collection. Fantastic!!!
