Didn't know I had a favourite Rush Hour movie until today. I guess I do, and it's this one. Still pretty crap though. Final rating:★★ - Definitely not for me, but I sort of get the appeal.


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. While Carter wants to party and meet the ladies, Lee is out to track down a Triad gang lord who may be responsible for killing two men at the American Embassy. Things get complicated as the pair stumble onto a counterfeiting plot. The boys are soon up to their necks in fist fights and life-threatening situations. 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.

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.

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.
