Rush hour 2
The sequel picks up literally from previous pic’s airborne ending, which had Chan’s H.K. And even though there’s a new writer, Jeff Nathanson, aboard, all of the original’s key story elements and alternating tones of goofball antics and deadly serious conflict are studiously yet fluidly preserved. As any good Major League Baseball team owner would do to ensure that his big guns stay, lead producers Arthur Sarkissian and Roger Birnbaum have shrewdly decided to not fiddle with the formula for “2,” which includes not only keeping the essential Chan-Tucker duo, but also helmer Brett Ratner, ace composer Lalo Schifrin, editor Mark Helfrich and casting directors Matthew Barry and Nancy Green-Keyes.
#Rush hour 2 crack#
Rush Hour 2 is a fun, lightweight action film suitable for teens on up.This closing crack can be seen as the sign of more than a little arrogance on the part of the moviemakers, but like Barry Bonds following his swaggers with knocks out of the ball park, it’s hard to argue with the results. Chan and Tucker have great chemistry and, with a good supporting cast, they make this sequel work.

The story evolves to expose a counterfeiting plot in which the Triad, the US Secret Service, and others are all somehow involved. He plays his character like a Chinese Chris Walken and, along with Ziyi Zhang, his beautiful but psychotic partner, provides a nice dramatic balance to the lunatic Tucker and straight-man Chan. John Lone plays Chan's father's former police partner and the leader of the Triads - a huge Hong Kong gang. The plot begins to develop in earnest about 1/3rd of the way through the film and takes a few predictable twists and turns until reaching a climactic conclusion. Not just racial stereotypes, their characters are developed just enough to make you want more from them - particularly Chan's. Tucker is a loudmouthed clown from the LAPD, and Chan is a quiet, methodical Chief Inspector from Hong Kong. Both actors create likable characters with slightly more depth to them than the average comedic archetypes.
