A couple of years ago, Jackie Chan, the "Master of Smash" made his Hollywood debut with
Rush Hour, a funny
movie costarring Chris Tucker.
Rush Hour became a big hit, even if it did lack a lot of the amazing stunts that have made Chan famous.
It is 2001 and Rush Hour 2 is in theaters, marking Chan''s third Hollywood film (the second being Shanghai, boasting the same ups and downs as his other movies). Tucker is back as well, but this time they are in Hong Kong investigating the murder of two American Embassy employees.
Rush Hour 2 follows the typical formula for the sequel of a popcorn movie, basically trying to be funnier, more explosive, and overall more entertaining. While most sequels fail all around, Rush Hour 2 manages to do the rare opposite; it is funnier (or at least just as funny), it has more action, and because of the action, it is more entertaining.
