In the background, the HongKong and US authorities are fighting over the case's jurisdiction, while thetruly heroic Lee and the reluctantly heroic Carter go from one predictablemishap to another.
RUSH HOUR 2 CAST CRACK
Assigned to crack the case, Carter sees it as aninterruption in his holiday plans, but for Lee the task assumes a more personalmeaning, since Tan was once his father's partner on the Hong Kong police force.In what is the picture's most shameless cliche, used to death inAmerican action pictures, it's revealed that Lee's father was killed, with allevidence destroyed this explains Lee's obsessive urge to redeem his father'shonour. Less than 10 minutes into thestory, a bomb explodes in the American Embassy, killing two US customs agentswho had been investigating a money-smuggling ring that's producing and shipping"superbills," high-grade counterfeit American money.Īt first, the prime suspectis Ricky Tan (Lone), the smooth and cunning head of the Fu-Cang-Long Triad,China's deadliest gang. This time around, Chan plays chief inspector Lee,of the Royal Hong Kong Police, who arrives in Hong Kong for a much-neededvacation with his partner, LAPD detective James Carter.Īrmed with his Chinese/Englishdictionary, Carter is looking forward to, as he says, "sampling some ofthe city's exotic delights." However, as soon as they arrive, the ever-dedicatedLee is faced with the biggest case of his career. Burdened by an inflated budget, due to the oversized paychecks of both stars, Rush Hour 2 has one or two weeks week to play, before facing late summer competition.Īs high-concept as summerpopcorn movies can be, Rush Hour 2 exploits the disparity of styles and love-haterelationship of the East's fastest hands and legs (Chan) and the West's biggestand filthiest mouth (Tucker).

Coldly calculated, but still rather flat,the "new" action comedy basically rehashes the first, far superiorfilm, while increasing the female quotient, which now included the tough andbeautiful Asian actress, Zhang Ziyi, of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fame (pictured above). Rush Hour 4 cast: Who's coming back for Rush Hour 4?įor now, we'll assume that both Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker would be back as mismatched duo Chief Inspector Lee and Detective James Carter.Neither terribly exciting asan actioner, nor sufficiently funny as a comedy, Rush Hour 2 re-teams the odd couple of the first film, theendlessly bickering Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, placing them in the most routineand movie-ish situations imaginable. That would indicate a summer 2024 release at the very earliest.īut don't hold your breath.
