[.ca] Rush Hour 2 (Widescreen)

Additional Features:
New Line's Infinifilm series has set a high bar for DVD supplements, but where previous editions have been dedicated to director's visions, Rush Hour 2 is about the stars. This peek beyond the movie is most interested in looking at the performers. Watch Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in "Evolution of a Scene" as they rework three separate moments in rehearsal, and get an intimate glimpse of Chan's working methods in "Kung Fu Choreography." "Culture Clash" and "Language Barrier" view the unique challenges of an international production (would you believe Chris Tucker's karaoke vamp actually offended Hong Kong locals?). There's also audio commentary (director Brett Ratner and screenwriter Jeff Nathanson) and a host of other short featurettes, but, as any Chan fan will tell you, the most entertaining goodies are in the five minutes of additional outtakes in the Deleted Scenes gallery. --Sean Axmaker

funnier and more action packed than the first one:
i found this movie to be better than the first one.there's still lots of action,but it's even funnier than the first.there's some really good fight scenes,and Jackie Chan's moves are even more outrageous this time around.the banter between Chan and Tucker is much funnier and more natural.once again,although there is some violence it's not excessive or gratuitous.i think there is also less coarse language than the first,and like the first,there is no nudity,but there is a bit of suggestiveness.overall,i though this movie was a great ride from start to finish.it's even faster paced than the original,and Tucker and Chan have even better general and comedic chemistry.for me,Rush Hour 2 is a 4/5

Too much like the first one...:
I thought that the movie was good, but it suffers from Jackie trying to act like Tucker did in the first one... The Beach Boys in one example when Tucker lobs the CD out the car window. Tt seems that Lee was a big head in this one... Carter was really wanting a vacation, but ends up in a big case involving a man that likes bombs and cold blooded murder. The nice thing about the movie is that we get to see Chris Tucker duke it out at the massage parlor and with the chick at the casino. Other then that it could have done better without the rectcled lines from the first film...

Sequil simply attempting to cash...:
The orginal Rush Hour has some freshness, chemistry, and vitality to it, whereas RH-2 comes off as contrived and repetitious. Only for fanatics of Tucker or Chan.

Funnier Then The First...:
Slick, chaotic, and decently entertaining sequel picks up where the first movie left off. LAPD Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) is on vacation in Hong Kong with his friend, Detective Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan). Carter just wants to relax, have fun, get some "mu shu", but Lee can't stop doing his job even for a minute. This time, he's hot on the trail of gangster Ricky Tan (John Lone), who may have been behind an Embassy bombing. More-of-the-same in terms of content AND style, but still pretty engaging, with lots of action and thrills. Chan and Tucker still share the same chemistry, and overall there are some good laughs. (Worth it just to see Tucker perform Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough"...) For me, one of the perks of this sequel is watching "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" beauty Zhang Ziyi as a very fetching and lethal assassin.

Better than the first, alot better!:
Take peoples word for it when they tell you this is better than the first Rush Hour movie, even Chris Tucker is much funnier in this one. The movie is funny, not amazingly funny but you can expect for laughs than the first one. Though there's alot of stupid things in this movie it wasn't made to be serious, now really two guys fighting off 10 guys at once on several different occasions. The ending was not bad, it was a pretty cliche ending but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. After watching it, I am looking forward to a possibly Rush Hour 3 and I hope they make one, if you're into action/comedies this is a must watch.
