Back To Index Rush Hour 2
 Barnes & Noble This garishly opulent sequel is just as raucously entertaining as its predecessor, the surprise hit of 1998 and the first American-made success for international superstar Jackie Chan. This time around, it’s LAPD detective James Carter (Chris Tucker reprising his role from the original) who’s the fish out of water. While visiting Hong Kong and his friend Inspector Lee (Chan), Carter becomes embroiled in a case with international ramifications: A prominent Chinese gangster (John Lone) is joining forces with an American tycoon (Alan King) to flood the United States with counterfeit money. Everything that made the original Rush Hour so enjoyable -- the cross-cultural confusion and good-natured banter between Chan and Tucker, their impromptu musical performances, and Jackie’s daredevil stunt work -- is replicated with slavish adherence to formula by returning director Brett Ratner. Tucker and Chan are among the oddest of odd couples in "buddy" movie history, and Ratner builds everything around their explosive chemistry. Funny, fast moving, and action packed, Rush Hour 2 is practically a carbon copy of the first film, which is exactly what its fans want to see. The DVDs special features include commentary by Ratner and writer Jeff Nathanson, deleted scenes, outtakes, a featurette on Ratner, his short film Lady Luck, and much more. There is also a series of "Beyond the Movie" interviews in which Chan discusses East-West culture clashes, his introduction to Hong Kong, dealing with the language barrier, and choreographing his fight sequences.
