Rush Hour 2 is a 2001 martial arts/buddy cop film starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. It is the sequel to the movie Rush Hour (1998). It grossed US$347,325,802 at the world-wide box-office, becoming the 4th top grossing film of 2001, and the highest-grossing martial-arts film of all timeDetective James Carter (Chris Tucker) is on vacation in Hong Kong, visiting his good friend Chief Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan). Carter is interested in having a good time; however, soon after they arrive, a bomb explodes in the American Embassy. Inspector Lee is assigned to the case, which becomes personal when it is discovered that it somehow involves Ricky Tan, his late father's former partner. Tan, who was suspected, but never proven, of having a role in Lee's father's death, is now a leader of the Triads, the Chinese Mafia.
The United States Secret Service, led by Agent Sterling (Harris Yulin), and the Hong Kong Police Force soon get into a fight over the jurisdiction of the case. Lee learns that Ricky Tan will be attending a dinner party on his yacht. When confronted, Tan claims that someone is trying to frame him. Tan's underling, Hu Li (Zhang), suddenly appears and shoots Tan, and he falls off the boat. In the ensuing chaos, Hu Li escapes, and an angry Sterling holds Lee responsible for Tan's death, though, since he can not prove it, he simply orders Lee off the case. Carter is ordered to be flown back to Los Angeles for involving himself. However, Lee and Carter return to Los Angeles together, seemingly motivated by their desire to bring justice and meaning for their respective father's deaths in the line of duty.
On the plane, Carter tells Lee that every case has a rich white man behind it, and that the man is Steven Reign, a Los Angeles hotel billionaire. Carter says that he saw Reign on Tan's boat and that his calm demeanor during the shooting was suspicious. They set up camp outside the Reign Towers, pointing out a sexy Secret Service agent named Isabella Molina (Roselyn Sánchez), who Carter met and tried to woo on Ricky Tan's yacht. After Lee watches Molina undress, and a few misunderstandings, Molina tells the two men that she is undercover, looking into Reign's money laundering of US$ 100 million dollars in superbills (high grade counterfeit US$ 100 bills).
Lee and Carter pay a visit to Carter's old friend Kenny (Don Cheadle), who tells them that a customer recently came in to his establishment with a suspicious amount of hundred-dollar bills. Carter checks them out and confirms that they are Reign's counterfeits. They trace the money back to a bank friendly to the Triads, who are waiting for them and knock the two cops unconscious, with Molina looking on. Then they depart for Las Vegas. Lee and Carter wake up inside one of the Triads' trucks and escape. After finding out where they are, they realize that Reign is laundering the $100 million through the new Red Dragon Casino.
At the Red Dragon, Lee and Carter split up. Carter makes a big commotion and distracts the security forces while Lee runs into Molina. After being assured she didn't sell them out, he attempts to infiltrate the back area to find the engraving plates (which were used to make the counterfeit money). However, Hu Li captures Lee, places a small bomb in his mouth, and gags him. She then takes him up to the penthouse, where it is revealed that Ricky Tan faked his death and is in charge of the operation. After a few words, he departs, leaving Hu Li to do whatever she wants.
Molina then takes out a gun, reveals herself as a Secret Service agent and attempts to arrest Hu Li. In the chaos that follows, Hu Li kicks Lee out of a window and he falls out onto the casino floor. Molina and Hu Li then fight, and Molina sweeps the trigger for Lee's bomb out onto the casino floor. Hu Li finally manages to gain the upper hand and shoots Molina in the arm before jumping out onto the casino floor. After a frantic search, Carter and Lee end up together. Carter starts pulling the tape off of Lee's mouth. Lee manages to spit the bomb out seconds before Hu Li finds the trigger and detonates it. Carter then fights Hu Li while Lee heads to the penthouse to prevent Tan from escaping with the plates.
In the penthouse, Reign opens the safe and takes the plates, running into Tan as he leaves. After Reign announces he is cutting their deal short, Tan stabs him to death. Lee confronts Tan, taking a gun from Reign's body. Carter appears, having triumphantly (and accidentally) knocked Hu Li out. After a tense standoff, where Tan admits he killed Lee's father, Lee knocks the gun away in Carter's direction. As everyone attempts to retrieve it, Lee accidentally kicks Tan out the window, where he falls to his death outside. Hu Li then enters, holding a bomb. Lee and Carter leap out of the window just as the bomb goes off, sliding on decoration wires with their jackets. The wires snap, and they swing into a sign for the casino. Their momentum swings them into the path of oncoming traffic. Through Lee's nimble skill and Carter's dumb luck, they narrowly escape being hit by two successive trucks.
Later, at the airport, Sterling thanks Lee for his work in the case. Molina says she would like to tell Lee something, and proceeds to kiss him for a short time, an event witnessed from afar by Carter. All three are going their separate ways; Carter to Los Angeles, Molina to New York, and Lee to Hong Kong. After Isabella heads for her flight, Lee and Carter say one last goodbye. Lee then gives Carter, who at first graciously declines, his father's police badge, stating that he can finally "let it go." In return, Carter gives Lee $10,000 that he won from gambling at Caesars Palace. Lee is more critical in his refusal of the money, but Carter is able to persuade Lee to take the money. After Lee reveals that he has always wanted to go to Madison Square Garden and watch a New York Knicks basketball game, the two of them decide to take another vacation in the Big Apple, dancing off to Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough".

My Analysis:
Same thing with the Rush Hour 1, but this one is more of better than the 1st, i thought it is really exciting, as chris tucker sings the Micheal Jackson song, don’t stop till it get enough, thats a funny thing he does, he gets on the stage and jackie sees Hu Li who was played by Zang Ziyi, well ahh she is really doing so well for this part, she is an assasin, a girl whose delivering c4s in the structure and disguise as a blonde chinese lady with the shade, I thought zang ziyi is such a terrific woman yes she is, as she plays her role as a young geisha in memoirs of the geisha with my favorite actor ken watanabe, she really did a great job on that movie, going back to rush hour, she is really versatile on this movie, a silent woman whose like an assasin, delivering bombs to every structure. She died with the c4 in her role here.
I thought that the movie is more of fantastic, this one shows true friendship, as they both care to each other, lee and carter as lee thought that carter is dead he really worried and same thing in the 1st, he said to carter DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH lol, i like the movie, i like the story boy this movie is really a box office hit. Also the spoofs of the movie i found it cute and funny. Cute because i saw zang ziyi smiling and when she press the button she makes me desire of versatility, i really appreciate her. She is the serpent of denile ooooh wow! Funny Chris Tucker says that there will be a rush hour 3 he said “daaym he aint be on rush hour 3” lol. Now the three had shown up. Ill watch the three and gives some thoughts about the film.
One of my favorites. Rush Hour gotta love that film.
