	Filmtracks: Rush Hour 2 (Lalo Schifrin)
		Rush Hour 2: (Lalo Schifrin) Whether you like them or not, the pairing of Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker turned out to be more of a success in Rush Hour than anyone could have predicted, with the film grossing over $250 million worldwide.
		For the directors and producers of the Rush Hour phenomenon, an equally important element of the film's success was the musical score by legendary jazz composer Lalo Schifrin, who remains best known for his hit television themes and scores for such shows as Mannix and Mission: Impossible.
		Schifrin's score for the original Rush Hour was a sort of novelty item, overshadowed obviously by the slapstick action in the film, but nevertheless of interest to Schifrin's fans and those few who collect such comedy action scores.

	Rush Hour 2. - A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		Rush Hour 2 begins with Chief Inspector Lee of the Royal Hong Kong Police (JACKIE CHAN) and LAPD detective James Carter (CHRIS TUCKER) arriving in Hong Kong for a vacation.
		Rush Hour 2 is about a number of things but the bottom line, I believe, is the chemistry that exists between two separate individuals, from two separate cultures.
		Rush Hour 2 is a retelling of some of the concepts included in The Fiddler on the Roof.

	RUSH HOUR 2 - INFINIFILM DVD
		That Rush Hour 2 (and the Pink Panther saga, for that matter) is often so genial in its cheap humour and gratifying in its physical exertions speaks to an almost universal desire to see people get a pie in the face while inelegantly breaking societal taboos.
		While Rush Hour 2 is the latest title in New Line's sensational "infinifilm" line of DVDs, its extras don't soar to the heights of their "Platinum Series" Rush Hour disc, which contains among other things a fly-on-the-wall segment showing Jackie Chan's choreography of a scene that is unparalleled in its candour.
		The 4-minute "The Fashion of Rush Hour 2" is funny for the presence of Jeremy Piven, selecting his wardrobe and finding his feminine side, but the multi-angle visual effects deconstruction (of the American Embassy explosion) has been done better elsewhere.

	Rush Hour 2 (2001) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		`Rush Hour 2' is a highly enjoyable follow-up to the original 1998 box office smash.
		As with most Chan films, however, `Rush Hour 2' seems to go on for about a half hour too long – even though its running time barely clocks in at a very short 90 minutes.
		Perhaps this type of material really can't be sustained much beyond an hour before the repetitiousness of it begins to take its toll.

	"Rush Hour 2" with Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker reviewed by Steve Sailer for UPI; John Lone, stereotypes
		In "Rush Hour 2," even at age 47 he remains in startling physical form, although an actor on the film told me that the great man used a double on a particularly brutal explosion stunt.
		The operative word is "stereotype." What made the first "Rush Hour" a global hit was the pairing of a Chinese guy with a fl guy.
		"Rush Hour 2" is rated PG-13 for lots of bloodless fighting, some sexual innuendo, and the S-word.

	TheMovieBoy Review: Rush Hour 2 (2001)
		The most accurate adjective to describe "Rush Hour 2" is "by-the-numbers." From the one-liners between Lee and Carter, to the fish-out-of-water premise, to the copiously littered action sequences, the movie is practically a carbon copy of the predecessor, which stands as both a positive and negative thing.
		The jokes in "Rush Hour 2" are, more or less, recycled from 1998's "Rush Hour," and aside from the agreeability of the interactions between Lee and Carter, the characters have no room to breathe and stand out from the restrictive confines of the story.
		"Rush Hour 2" leaves the door wide open for a third installment; let's hope the makers try harder next time before spending an insanely high $90-million on a story that has been told, quite frankly, to death.

		Rush Hour 2 appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, dual-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Though RH2 was an action-comedy, the sound designers appeared to take their cues mostly from the standard “comedy” soundtrack, as much of the movie’s audio remained focused in the front spectrum.
		Rush Hour 2 introduces a few other stylistic innovations typical for the infinifilm line, all of which are intended to make the DVD experience more comfortable for folks new to the format.

		Rush Hour 2 is highly recommended, and if you love the first one, you will LOVE this one just as much as I did!

	noshadowkick.com - reviews: city hunter vs. rush hour 2, jackie chan, chris tucker, kung fu, hong kong, action
		Rush Hour 2 has a damned funny Michael Jackson karaoke number by Chris "I was great in Friday...what happened?" Tucker, but City Hunter has the psychotic squealing and dancing of that Asian Kid 'n'Play duo, replete with fake machine guns, flying, and alot of shrieking Japanese pop.
		Rush Hour 2 surprised me with a decent Lalo Schifrin score, the movie gloriously free of foot-dragging gangster-rap or brain-squeezing techno over the fight scenes.
		Rush Hour 2 is Rush Hour except Jackie and Chris switched dialogue.

	RUSH HOUR 2 \| Lalo Schifrin @ Cinemusic Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		RUSH HOUR 2 director Brett Ratner's favorite film score of all time is Lalo Schifrin's ENTER THE DRAGON.
		The album opens strong with "Rush Hour 2 - Main Title", which reprises Schifrin's fusion of fast-paced symphony orchestra with Asian percussion and woodwinds.
		I say "live" because the percussion in RUSH HOUR 2 sounds like it was all performed on the sound stage with the orchestra.

	The Mediadrome - Film - Reviews: Rush Hour 2
		As with "Lethal Weapon 2," the partners in "Rush Hour 2" are even more comfortable than they were in the first film, but unfortunately, the rest of the material just isn't up to snuff.
		Since most of the action in "Rush Hour 2" takes place in Hong Kong, the fish is back in the water, and quite frankly, it's just not as much fun.
		Since "Rush Hour 2" comes and goes in a swift 90 minutes, there's not much time to develop the characters beyond what was already established in the first film.

	Rush Hour (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rush Hour is a 1998 martial arts/buddy cop film starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.
		Rush Hour opened at #1 at the North American box-office with a weekend gross of $33 million in September 1998.
		A third movie, Rush Hour 3, is in the works, after Chris Tucker's demands almost put an end to the movie.

	The Daily Texan
		This is exactly the feeling you get when watching Rush Hour 2, a summer sequel based on a funny and original predecessor that's ruined the second time around mostly by giving too much screen time to motor mouth Chris Tucker, not enough time to action star Jackie Chan and even less time to them together.
		But Rush Hour 2 does pick itself up, dust itself off and manages to provide a decent picture by compensating in other areas.
		So you should definitely see Rush Hour 2 if you're interested in seeing an intriguing mystery-action movie with a twisting plot and some great fighting scenes with Chan.

	MovieFreak.Com - Rush Hour 2 Review
		It is quite rare in Hollywood these days for a sequel to out due the original (or to even pass as marginal entertainment), and it is even rarer for the sequel to completely exceed the original on every scale.
		Rush Hour 2 surpasses the original Rush Hour in each and every way.
		Now I’m not saying the first Rush Hour was a masterpiece (it was a just above average buddy-cop film), but if you enjoyed it the first time around, you will be blown away by the second.

	Rush Hour 2 Review
		“Rush Hour 2” never lives up to the first film, but provides plenty of cool martial arts action and enough laughs along the way.
		But the objective in “Rush Hour 2” is never as clear or compelling as the first film.
		The sequel is less gritty and tough than “Rush Hour,” which makes it even lighter and less intense.

		Rush Hour 2 is as funny, if not funnier, as the original - no easy feat for an action/comedy sequel.
		I was primarily sceptical as to how the cast and crew of the second instalment of Rush Hour planned to equal the success of the original, and whilst it's not quite up to the standard of its predecessor, it's still a worthy sequel.
		As I said previously, Rush Hour 2 is a decent sequel - it's not up to the standard of the original, but it contains the same charismatic partnership of the two main characters and the clever plot.

		It's a shame because the original was pretty good, but I think the main reason "Rush Hour" was so good was because it was, well, original.
		I liked the original "Rush Hour" and I thought it had an almost perfect combination of martial arts and comedy, kinda like “Shanghi Noon”.
		The best thing about this "Rush Hour 2" is after it's over, and that's never a good thing.

		In the midst of "Rush Hour 2" there's a gag that's funnier than any of the movie's other fish-out-of-water routines.
		That's by far the funniest moment in "Rush Hour 2," and while the rest of it isn't really any good, it's certainly no chore to watch.

		Rush Hour 2 retains the appeal of its popular predecessor, so it's easily recommended to fans of its returning stars, Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan.
		Of course, that's what makes Rush Hour 2 a palatable dish of mainstream comedy; it insults and comforts the viewer at the same time, and while some may find Tucker's relentless hamming unbearable, those who enjoyed Rush Hour are sure to appreciate another dose of Chan-Tucker lunacy.
		Im sure you probly seen this movie along with Rush Hour 1,I just wanted to let you know the Special Edition 1&2 released May 22,2007 are worth buying again the picture and sound are both remasterd and are both are really great,there's also Rush Hour 3 trailers on both.

	Film Review: Rush Hour 2
		Like the name implies, "Rush Hour 2" is hectic, fast and full of the road rage of furious kicks and punches.
		It is a metaphor for how most of us see movies—in the weekend rush to get a laugh, a jolt and, for 90 minutes, to not think, especially not about cheesy race humor.
		Depending on how you view him, he is a lethally funny comic-to-the-bone, a buffoon or some 21st century combination of badboy, steppin-fetchit and pitiful ladies man. In this sequel to the 1998 "Rush Hour," he again plays LAPD detective James Carter paired with Detective Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) on a vacation in Hong Kong.
