Directed by: Brett Ratner
Starring: Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker
Yes, I know this is a sequel and I haven't reviewed the first one but it doesn't matter.
This buddy cop movie (explained previously in the 48 Hours review) follows chief inspector Lee and his LA Detective friend, Carter, on their holiday to Hong Kong.
Unfortunately, their holiday is cut short when some Americans are killed at the embassy and Lee is called in for duty.
Some guy called Ricky Tan, who played a role in the murder of Lee's father, is now the leader of the Triads and is laundering fake money.
This is a film that is usually remembered for it's humour and not it's storyline. It's a tad confusing. Go on, ask someone about Rush Hour 2, they'll say "Oh, I like that film, it's funny!" Now ask them what it's about and they'll say "Um...Jackie Chan and the black guy chase a bad guy, who is chinese". They won't know unless they study this film again and again.
I am a huge fan of Jackie Chan and so there is little surprise when I say that I enjoy this film. It is incredibly funny and has some superb actors.
Chris Tucker is usually the one making jokes but i find Jackie Chan more funny, he has a certain quality that makes what he does and says funny.
I'm sure most people will enjoy this film so I would recommend it.
