About the Film

Rush Hour 2 is a 2001 American buddy cop action comedy directed by Brett Ratner. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker return as Detective Inspector Lee and Detective James Carter, who are vacationing in Hong Kong when Lee's investigation of a bombing at the U.S. Embassy leads them to a Chinese counterfeiting operation connected to the Triads, run by the elegant villain Ricky Tan, played by John Lone, and his lethal enforcer Hu Li, played by Zhang Ziyi in one of her first English-language roles.

The sequel expanded the franchise's globe-trotting scope from Los Angeles to Hong Kong to Las Vegas, and the action choreography — particularly the massage parlor fight and the casino infiltration — was more elaborately staged than the original's. Zhang Ziyi's Hu Li brought genuine martial arts credibility and physical menace to her fight scenes with Jackie Chan. Rush Hour 2 earned $347 million worldwide on a $90 million budget, the franchise's highest gross.
