We join our dynamic duo in Hong Kong for this sequal to the hit, what else but Rush Hour. James Carter, played by Chris Tucker, is on vacation and trying his best to get some mu shu. Our straight faced Inspecter Lee, Jackie Chan, is doing his best, but is working a case. Well it doesn't take long to get into the action, which is why we like this kind of movie. 
Lee is investigating the deaths of two US consolate members and the link points to Rick Yan, played by John Lone.
If you liked Rush Hour, you'll like the sequal. It works as a nice cop buddy picture, with the signature Chan stunts. Some of the best bits are also when the credits run, we see how not all stunts are successful on the first try. I'm sure we'll be seeing another sequal in the not too distant future.
On the DVD itself, this is one of New Line's Infini Film titles, and it gets a nice keepcase, as opposed to a snapper. Now when you have the two movies side by side, it looks kind of odd. The video transfer looks great on my 27" set. There's quite a bit of night shots and blacks are nicely produced.
The dvd is full of extra's and I've only really had a chance to get through the commentary with director Brett Ratner and writer Jeff Nathanson. The two have great memories of shotting the movie and continue talking throughout. Another feature is where there's some kind of text that is supposed to pop up and give you some interesting information about a scene. I wish I had looked closely at this feature as I would have activated it before starting the commentary.

There are three kinds of people in this world; those that can count, and those that can't.
