Dieses Mal machten Lee und Carter, das ungleiche Team, die Starßen von Hong Kong unsicher, um einer Bande von Geldfälschern auf die Schliche zu kommen. Eigentlich sollte es ja nur ein entspannter Urlaub werden, doch kaum angekommen, stecken die Supercops schon in den allergrößten Schwierigkeiten. Zwei amerikanische Zöllner, die den Verbrechern auf der Spur waren, sind brutal ermordet worden. Sofort machen sich Lee Jackie Chan und Carter Chris Tucker auf, um den Gaunern mit großer Klappe und harten Schlägen das Handwerk zu legen. Nur Carter hat einige Probleme sich mit den Gewohnheiten der Einheimischen anzufreunden - oder um es mit Lees Worten auszudrücken "Hier bin ich Michael Jackson und Du Toto"... (Verleiher-Text)

This has exactly the same format as the first one. The main thing is that Chris Tucker is a whiny jerk who makes trouble just by yelling, while Jackie Chan is a pretty honest guy who also tries to add in some comedy. The plot is boring and unsurprising, even though it thinks otherwise. It's just not as much fun the second time around because accusations of racism are pretty boring. The film is much more contrived and exhausting than can be tolerated.

A hundred percent less action-packed and a hundred percent more talky, that’s not a very good combination. And when you add already the quite exhausted and worn-out protagonists dropping exactly the same catchphrases as a few years ago, the unlikeable villains, and the poorly directed action scenes, it doesn't result in any masterpiece. A likeable secret service agent and a few tricks and moves of the Eastern stars are alright, but otherwise, there really is no reason to see this movie once, let alone multiple times.

I’m quite satisfied. I might be a silly B-movie, but the craftsmanship is excellent, fresh and pretty fun at times (I’m among the few who doesn’t mind Inspector Carter), so I’ve no problem watching it whenever they show it on TV. It’s a pity that the final confrontation is rather lifeless, the rating could have been higher. 70%
