Rush Hour 2: Better or Worse than the first Rush Hour?

Unfortunately I never did see the first Rush Hour, but I went to see Rush Hour 2 last night and it was hilarious. I'm going to have to vote yes though, since I doubt the 1st one could've topped this one.

Btw that Isabella girl was hot as hell!

 

Well I'll have to try and see the 1st one. My favorite line was after Tucker said "I'll b****slap your ass back to the Ming Dynasty" early in the movie, then later on they were arguing and Chan said "I'll b****slap your ass back to Africa" or something like that . It was hilarious coming from him. There were other funny lines I can't remember right now, but the whole movie was hilarious especially the kareokee, binocular, massage place scenes.

 

absolutely a must see!! i saw it tonight and it was the funniest movie i have seen in a LOOONG time and probably one of the best movies i have ever seen.

i loved the first and as soon as i heard they were making a 2nd, i have been looking forward to it...did not dissappoint! great comedy mixed with action. non stop entertainment.

im so glad i heard tucker say hed be up for making a 3rd when asked in an interview.

 

I saw the second one last night and thought it was funny. Tucker is one of the funniest actors. The "Kobe" reference was hilarious, but some other funny parts was when Chan asked Tucker, "Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?" and when he said, "Don't ever touch a Chinaman's Cd player!" These both referenced back to what Tucker told Chan in the first one.

 

I was super impressesed. One was pretty good also but I think two is better. This is one of those rare sequel is better than the original. I cant think of many others (T2).

A must see. I havent laughed this hard in an hour and a half since There's Something About Mary. The only thing I can complain about is the length, it felt a little short. But it was short and sweet.

One of my favorite lines was in the massage parlor when Carter was insulting Ricky Tan and stomping on his laptop and all of Tan's boys stood up and Carter was like; "Damn Lee, why didnt you tell me he rolled like this??" Great fight scenes again and the out takes were great also.

Cant wait for Rush Hour 3,4,5. I think Tucker mentioned there would be a few more sequels on some morning show.

 

yeah, the sequel was way better. hopefully the trend continues in 3,4,5....99

and even though a lot of the jokes were exactly the same as in RH1 (only roles reversed), somehow they were as or more funny.

i wonder who was the guy who called tuckers cell in the last outtake.

 

Not too many movies live up to there hype, but Rush Hour 2 was as good as advertised. Not to take anything away from the first one, but the 2nd was simply awesome. It was a lot funnier than the first. When they introduced the girl and then talked about taking a trip to NY it reminded me of Lethal Weapon. It's just like when they added Rene Russo to the third installment.

 

I just saw it today and I'm still laughing. I love those kind of movies and before I saw ths I thought the first one was the best movie I'd ever seen, but now this one is. I'd give it an A+++++++.

 

I lOVED this movie. I saw it on Friday and it was hilarious! A lot better that the original (not to say the first wasn't good in its own right). Tucker once again showed great comedic ability and timing. And Chan showed once again that he's the Ass Kicking King of the World. Right now it's pulling a 7.8 - 8.0 rating on IMDb.com, which is pretty damn good.

One famous movie critic, however doesn't agree with most of America: (Spoilers)

Ebert, Chris Tucker was damn funny in this movie. I can't help it if you weren't in on the joke (or just didn't get them).
Also, he got the casino scene all wrong. Tucker's character was only pretending to be offended so he could draw enough attention to himself to create a diversion for Chan to slip into another room. Once he was gone Tucker immediately dropped the act and began to play. How can one critique a movie when they don't even know what's going on screen?

This is the same guy who gave "Scary Movie" 3 out of 4 stars.

So, whatever.

I say go see it. Not revolutionary, but a good time.

 

I thought it was tons better than the first. The chemistry between Tucker and Chan was outstanding, the fighting scenes much better, and the jokes 10 times funnier.

As for Ebert, I can totally understand why people wouldn't like Chris Tucker. While I love him, he's played pretty much the same exact character in all his movies, and if you don't like him, it would get kind of old.

 

There's one scene that really grates. The Tucker character finds himself in a Vegas casino. He throws a wad of money on a craps table and is given a stack of $500 chips. He is offended: It is racist for the casino to give him $500 chips instead of $1,000 chips, the dealer doesn't think a black man can afford $1,000 a throw, etc., etc. He goes on and on in a shrill tirade against the dealer (Saul Rubinek). The dealer answers every verbal assault calmly and firmly. What's extraordinary about this scene is how we identify with the dealer, and how manifestly the Tucker character is acting like a the seven-letter word for "jerk." Rubinek wins the exchange.

Did this guy even watch the movie?! He makes it sound as if Tucker's character actually threw a fit over the kind of chips, when in reality Tucker's character was just doing this to make a scene to get all the security guards' attention while Chan's character did his stuff with the money plates in the back.

 

Zhang Ziyi was really good in the movie for someone that doesn't speak English and is a dancer, not a martial artist.

 

This one has Zhang Ziyi in it. It's automatically better than the last one.
