Rush Hour When kidnappers grab a Chinese official's daughter, Hong Kong chief inspector Lee (Chan) is all over the case until LAPD detective James Carter (Tucker) gets in his way. Cultures clash until these unlikely partners realize they both want to nail the crooks. Between Lee's high-flying kicks and Carter's rapid-fire wit – the bad guys won't know what hit them! Rush Hour 2 Chief inspector Lee (Chan) and detective Carter (Tucker) just want a much-needed break. Instead, they land in a heap of trouble. Somebody just blew up the American Embassy, and all of the evidence points to the organized crime network The Triad. Pursued by a deadly female assassin (Zhang Ziyi, House of Flying Daggers), dodging explosions and trailing millions in counterfeit bills, our heroes find themselves in a chaotic mixture of wild comedy and nonstop action.
