Get ready for a second Rush!
It's vacation time for Carter as he finds himself alongside Lee in Hong Kong wishing for more excitement.

A trip back to the U.S. may provide the answers about the bombing, the counterfeiting, and the true allegiance of sexy customs agent Isabella.

The most positive review

20 Jahre ist Rush Hour 2 nun alt und tatsächlich habe ich den Film nun zum ersten Mal geschaut. Den ersten Teil habe ich auch erst 10 Jahre nach seiner Erstveröffentlichung geschaut und nun darf man natürlich gespannt sein, ob die Sichtung von Teil 3 erst 30 Jahre nach seiner Veröffentlichung passiert. Doch zurück zum Thema, meiner Meinung zu Rush Hour 2. Harmonieren Chris Tucker und Jackie Chan im ersten Teil noch perfekt zusammen ist diese Harmonie in der Fortsetzung ein wenig verloren gegangen. Alles wirkt irgendwie aufgewärmt und die Action etwas unspektkulärer als im Vorgänger. Was mir allerdings am meisten aufgefallen ist, wie abwertet der Film mit seinen Frauenfiguren umgeht. Da folgt ein Machospruch auf den nächsten, was nicht nur nach Me Too nicht mehr haltbar ist, sondern eigentlich schon 2001 etwas zu deftig war. Schiebt man diesen Kritikpunkt bei Seite, bleibt eine solide Actionkomödie, die alle typischen Klischees des Buddymovies erfüllt, dabei allerdings nicht so in Erinnerung bleibt wie andere Vertreter des Genres.

The most negative review

OK, for those of you who, like me, liked Rush Hour, do yourselves a favor and stay away from this.
What we have here is basically Lethal Weapon 4 set in Hong Kong rather than LA. And... it just doesn't work.
Everything (save the stars) that made the first one funny is kind of out of place and forgotten. It's horrible. The fish out of water scenario fits well in Rush Hour, but set in Hong Kong, Tucker comes across as obnoxious instead of funny.
It's horrible.
