The scene was great as everyone was in bath robes in a calm and tranquil place.īomb at the end of the movie in close proximity of the characters Tan leaves and a massive fight breaks out between Tan’s henchman and the two partners. Carter notices Ricky Tan and confronts him by destroying his lap top.
It follows almost the same plot structures and one but with better characters (and more attractive) and direction. Rush Hour 2 is better than Rush Hour because it was executed better. Well-choreographed fights, funny (borderline racist) remarks, and of course explosions all made appearances. Lee and Carter, two opposites working together trying to solve a crime they were banned from getting involved in. To investigate further without the knowledge of the Hong Kong police and FBI, Lee and Carter travel back to LA to investigate Steven Reign who operates out of California.įrom there the typical chaos ensues. Tan is killed by Hu LI, the sexy attractive henchman of business mogul Steven Reign (similar role as Ken Leung in the first Rush Hour). It is believed that Ricky Tan (Lee’s father’s police partner) the leader of the triads was behind the bombings.

A serial bomber blows up a floor on the US Embassy in Hong Kong killing a US ambassador and then the detective offices at the Hong Kong police station.
Lee and Carter are on vacation in Hong Kong but Lee continues to drag Carter into police work instead of vacationing. The movie picks up right where the first one left off. On paper Rush Hour 2 should be atrocious but in actuality it is what every movie sequel strives to be, a better version of the first movie that makes more money. It rehashes gags and bits from the first movie, similar lines, similar villain(s), and it takes place in two new locations (Hong Kong and Las Vegas). Rush Hour 2 has all of the traits of a cliché bad sequel. Terminator 2 is technically a sequel but it is really just a better remake of the first movie similar to The Evil Dead 2. I can only think of two, Terminator 2: Judgement Day and Rush Hour 2. It is even rarer for a sequel to be better than the original film. Some sequels that I believe are worthwhile are Clerks II, Die Hard 2: Die Harder, The Evil Dead 2, and Aliens. It is rare for a sequel to be worthy of being in the same franchise as the original movie. The characters aren’t as fresh, the gimmicks are stale, and an overall feeling of clunky-ness is present as the creators try too hard to make the movie “bigger” and “better” than the original.
Sequels are almost guaranteed to not be as good as the original movie.
