It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

As this sequel starts LAPD Detective James Carter is in Hong Kong visiting his friend Chief Inspector Lee, of the Hong Kong Police. There plans are interrupted when Lee gets a call informing him of a bombing at the US Consulate General; which killed two agents investigating smuggling. He soon establishes a link to Ricky Tan, a Triad leader who had previously served in the RHKP as the partner of Lee's father… who he murdered. Lee confronts Tan on his yacht; it looks as though he is about to ask for protection when he is shot by Hu Li, a beautiful female assassin who worked for him. Carter notices a LA based billionaire hotelier on the yacht so assumes he must be behind whatever Tan had been smuggling. Lee and Carter head to LA, where events lead them to Isabella Molina, a secret service agent they'd first met in Hong Kong; she tells them that she is looking for printing plates for making 'superdollars'; near perfect forged hundred dollar bills. Further events lead them to Las Vegas where they must confront the smugglers.After the success of the first Rush Hour movie a sequel was fairly inevitable. Often sequels are a bit disappointing but thankfully this one was as much fun as the first. The Hong Kong setting for the first half of the film provided plenty of good excuses for amusing incidents as Carter misunderstands the culture or fails in his attempts to speak Chinese. The story is solid enough with a good twist towards the end. As well as lots of laughs there is plenty of impressive action; this is all impressively choreographed. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker have a good chemistry as Lee and Tucker; each bringing something different to the film. Zhang Ziyi really impresses as Hi Li; she may not say much but she is great in the action scenes. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of the original film and I look forward to watching 'Rush Hour 3'… I hope it is as good as the first two.

The fast pace and quick action continue in this sequel to Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker's "Rush Hour." Chief Inspector Lee (Chan) and Detective James Carter (Tucker) are on vacation in Hong Kong, but Lee is distracted with police work and becomes embroiled in a counterfeiting case involving Hong Kong Triad Leader Ricky Tan (John Lone) and his beautiful but evil assistant Hu Li (Ziyi Zhang). Soon, Lee and Carter's vacation are spoiled and they end up in another rush to solve a high-profile case which involves the U.S. Secret Service.The hilarious game of culture clash, mismatch and quick humor of Lee and Carter continues. There is an endless supply of racial and racy comments coming from Tucker's motormouth and never-ending quick wit and action coming from Lee, but, like's its prequel, there is great chemistry between Chan and Tucker as they deliver another laughable and entertaining comedy. There are also more gags in this film than the previous, including the crazy scene where Chan and Tucker are stripped naked by the villains and are sent running around the streets in Hong Kong, and in the scenes where Tucker tries to speak Cantonese.The two female leads were a real treat in the film - gorgeous femme fatale Hu Li that is mercilessly evil and sly and cunning and the beautiful double agent Isabella Molina (Roselyn Sanchez) that is charming and no-nonsense. It was great to see them on screen together during the kidnapping and fight scenes; however, I just wished their one-on-one duel would have been longer.I especially enjoyed seeing many of the Hong Kong city scenes and the appearance of Hong Kong movie legends such as Kenneth Tsang (Captain Chin), John Lone (Ricky Tan) and members of Jackie Chan's stunt team.Overall, another great rush! Grade B+

'Rush Hour (1998)' is one of my favorite comedy films and I usually don't expect much from sequels and as a result don't like them. I can happily say that 'Rush Hour 2' isn't one of these occasions. This movie picks off where 'Rush Hour' left and this film still stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Both still are hilarious and share that amazing chemistry. The plot behind this film is well thought off and the characters were great! The acting is fantastic, the dialogue is well written and the visual effects look great! However, the main strength lies with Tucker and Chan! ***SPOILERS***There were many hilarious scenes in this film such as when Carter confronts Ricky Tan and goes all crazy and gets both himself and Lee into a fight. The part where Carter accidentally punched Lee in the face was hilarious and the excuse he made up was hilarious! The ending to the movie is great as it clearly hints a sequel was on its way. The scene where Lee was spying on Isebella was hilariousThere were lots of great scenes to go with the movie***END OF SPOILERS***Overall, another must see!
