    • Trivia
      The scene where Carter and Lee are running down the street naked in Hong Kong was an actual take. Production could not block the street off for the shoot.
    • Goofs
      When Carter is in the club singing and invites all the ladies up onto stage with him they are all wearing sequined dresses. When Lee runs out, the women around Carter are wearing beige/tan tops. In the next scene, their dresses revert to the nice dresses again.
    • Quotes

      James Carter: Who died, Lee?

      Lee: You!

      James Carter: Detective Yu?

      Lee: Not Yu, you!

      James Carter: Who?

      Lee: You!

      James Carter: Who?

      Lee: Do you understand the words that are a-coming out of my mouth?

      James Carter: Don't nobody understand the words that are comin' out of your mouth.

    • Crazy credits
      No chickens were harmed during the making of this film.
    • Alternate versions
      The DVD includes several deleted scenes:
      • a bit of banter between Carter and Lee before they enter the nightclub.
      • Carter talks to Captain Diel (Philip Baker Hall) over the phone and gets berated for doing police work in Hong Kong.
      • When Carter is wandering through the marketplace and asking for the massage parlor, he mistakenly asks an old man in Cantonese if he can spank his daughter with a ping-pong paddle.
      • Carter talks his way in to the yacht party by claiming to be the band's lead singer.
      • On the flight back to L.A., Carter loudly sings along to Stevie Wonder's "Superstition".
      • An extended version of the scene in which Carter and Lee try to get rid of the "bomb" at the hotel.
      • The original version of the scene in the truck. In this version, Carter and Lee are not tied up and they find the counterfeit money in large wooden boxes.
      • At the Red Dragon casino, Carter pulls Steven Reign aside and they exchange sarcastic remarks.
      • Different takes of Chris Tucker's ad-libbed speech to Hu Li after their fight.

    TERRIFIC SEQUEL!!!! BETTER THAN THE FIRST!!!!!!!
    I saw the first Rush Hour and didn't know what to expect when i watched it at a friend's house. I watched it and thought it was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I was glad that it was something fresh and new as the Lethal Weapon movies (Which I also thought were excellent!!!!!!!) had finished and i thought that it was even better than them. Then when i heard that they were making Rush Hour 2 I couldn't wait until it came out, however i was worried that it might not be as good as the first as very few sequels are these days, but i was not disappointed in the slightest. I laughed all the way through this movie and even more than the first one. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are perfect for the roles and both are excellent throughout the movie which has even more humor than Rush Hour 1. Rush Hour 1 is still excellent but i think Rush Hour 2 has to be funnier having watched them both hundreds of times. I cannot wait until Rush hour 3 comes out!

    I highly recommend this movie and Rush Hour 1 to all action/comedy fans out there!
