August 3, 2001 — Yet another review from AICN, thistime it's Massawyrm's turn. Here's what he has to say on Rush Hour 2:

I know there's tons of reviews in already, but damnit if this isn't one of the most satisfying films I've seen this summer. Great action blended with some knock out humor. Imagine Lethal Weapon 2 meets Supercop and you've got the idea of this film. I honestly feel that Rush Hour 2 exceeds the original in both Humor and Action (where, believe it or not, somehow Chris Tucker's character managed to learn some moves of his own). Plus, this film has my favorite cameo of the summer, one of my deep fried favorite actors right now, but I won't spoil it for you. I'll let you discover this little treat on your own.

Yes, this is essentially the same fish out of water story with character reversal, and yes the plot really isn't all that inventive. But never the less, it works, and it works really well. This one is going to kill at the box office and make everyone out there complaining that there wasn't anything good out this summer shut the hell up for a few weeks, or at least until they can complain about how bad they think the fall is. Funny as hell, this one is, with what is in my opinion, the best gag reel of all time (at times it feels that the gag reel is better than the movie, which is saying a lot).
