The odd couple of action flicks is at it again in Rush Hour 2
by H.W. Fowler | July 31, 2001
Three years after the unexpected blockbuster success of Rush Hour, Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are back as Chief Inspector Lee and LAPD loudmouth Carter, the oddest of odd-buddy cop couples.
In Rush Hour 2, their investigation of a counterfeiting scheme takes them from Hong Kong to Las Vegas, with lots of time for spectacular stunts, fantastic fighting, dangerous women (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's Zhang Ziyi among them) and mangled miscommunication along the way.
In the years between, Chan has been churning out his distinctive acrobatic action comedies in both Asia and America. Tucker claims to have been reading a lot, but he has obviously been improving the body along with the mind.
Neither has quite mastered the King's English yet. But they wouldn't be half as funny if they had.
