Rush Hour 2

Pros: Jackie Chan is still a charismatic figure; the outtakes are great
Cons: I wish I was Zhang Ziyi so I could have kicked Tucker in the face

Now you may think this is an odd statement to make since I’m an Asian guy (well, at least three-quarters Asian but that’s too long of a story to tell) but I’m telling you… Asian women scare the bejeebers out of me especially when they give you...

Pros: I actually met Chris Tucker on August 3, 2001.
Cons: I think Hollywood’s attempting to get one over on us with the PG-13 rating.

I started watching “Rush Hour 2” Friday night at Lenox Plaza, in Atlanta, Georgia however after about 15 minutes left the theater to get my money back. The film had been messing up initially being spliced until finally everyone was booing and...

Pros: Entertaining movie overall
Cons: Tucker was annoying. Plot needed to be stronger.

Since Rush Hour ended up being a very popular movie, I wasn't surprised that a sequel was made. I did enjoy Rush Hour 2 even though I don’t think it was as good as the first movie. ...

Pros: Hilarious action movie
Cons: Jackie Chan is sometimes hard to understand

Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. What an unlikely duo. Who would have ever thought that a wise cracking black comedian would ever team up with an oriental action superstar in a movie? Well before the smash hit Rush Hour I don’t think anyone thought...

Pros: Chan, Ziyi, Sanchez, outtakes
Cons: Chris Tucker

It's an unwritten rule in Hollywood: one good film deserves a sequel. There's nothing wrong with that rule, provided the film can build on the source material, or at least be a worthy companion piece to it. As a person who has, in the last few years,...

Pros: Jackie Chan's in it.
Cons: Too much like the first film.

If you had to pick one distinguishing feature, present in the recent string of Jackie Chan movies, it has got to be their obvious fish out of water driven plots. Starting with Rumble in the Bronx, the first Rush Hour, then again with Shanghai Noon, you...

Pros: Jackie Chan is in it-although he appears a little sickly
Cons: Christ Tucker is in it too

Those are the headlines. For me, ever a Chan Fan, the disappointment is great, and I go down hard. I have watched it twice now and it doesn't improve with age. In fact, it becomes a little more unbearable with each viewing.

What struck me...

Pros: the incredibly sexy Zhang Ziyi, Jackie Chan's trademark stunts, fighting and John Lone
Cons: Tucker is louder than a Pantera concert

Being one of the "foam-headed simpletons" that missed out on the "extravaganza" that must have been Rush Hour the first, I went into this much ballywhooed sequel hoping to see more of Chan's infamous fighting scenes, his dangerous stunts and that...

Pros: The "out-takes" shown over the final credits contain the funniest bits
Cons: Lame script and inept direction, plus perpetually irritating Chris Tucker

Back in 1998, "Rush Hour" grossed more than $250 million worldwide - so a sequel was inevitable. Here, once again, martial arts master Jackie Chan teams up with comedian Chris Tucker as Chief Inspector Lee of the Royal Hong Kong Police and LAPD...

Pros: Some laughs.
Cons: It's another Jackie Chan film.

I doubt the day will ever come where I like a Jackie Chan film. For what it's worth, Rush Hour 2 is his best American work to date. That's not saying much. How he has millions (perhaps billions?) of fans, i'll never know. Every time he...

Pros: Ziyi and some funny bits...
Cons: Tired, run into the ground formula and jokes. Strictly average action scenes.

Right before I went into the theater to see Rush Hour 2, my friend asked me if I had seen the first one. I searched my mental database frantically, and yet I couldn’t remember. I mean, I keep tabs on every movie I see (and a good deal I haven’t seen yet)...

Pros: Outtakes, Jackie/Tucker chemistry, Lots of Hot Women!
Cons: Tucker is up and down. Zhang Ziyi not in movie enough.

I'm a really, really big Jackie Chan fan. There's just something about the way the guy moves, the jokes he makes, it just fits perfectly.

Chris Tucker, I'm not such a big fan of, but certain times I can tolerate him...this movie ends up being...

Pros: The following movie is brought to you by the number 2.
Cons: A director's motto should NEVER be "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

See, I knew I should have written this review immediately after seeing Rush Hour 2, because now it's just a tiny figment of a memory in my brain. So lightweight, unoriginal and familiar is this one, that it...what movie were we talking...

Pros: Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are a perfect comedy duo! Music was great also.
Cons: None, this was just a hilarious movie!

I went to see this movie on opening night with some friends. I had been waiting for it to come out, but was even more impressed with it than I thought I would be. The movie keeps you laughing. The entire theatre was laughing uncontrollably...

Pros: Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan work well together, Chan fights, Tucker comedy
Cons: A bit lacking in the acting, sometimes a bit too over the top

When the opportunity arose to go out to the movies and actually give something back to the community, I had to take it up. I personally could not think of a bigger win/win situation than this. There came a problem however when I actually had to figure...
