The story of Rush Hour 2 continues from where the original left off, with Chief Inspector Lee (Chan) and Detective James Carter (Tucker) travelling to Hong Kong as a vacation. However, soon after they arrive a bomb explodes in the American Embassy. Inspector Lee is assigned to this case, which takes on a personal meaning for him when it is discovered the man behind it is Ricky Tan &mdash; his father's former partner and leader of the Triads, and a man who played an instrumental role in his father's death.

The American and Hong Kong authorities soon get into a fight over the jurisdiction of the case. A secret customs agent, Isabella Molina (Roselyn Sanchez), becomes Inspector Lee's love interest. Inspector Lee drags a reluctant Carter off to try and solve the case on their own.

Another enemy they must face on their case is Tan's deadly second-in-command Hu Li, played by Zhang Ziyi (of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fame) in her first American film. However all is not what it seems and soon Inspector Lee and Carter discover an even more sinister crime. However despite this, the duo along with Isabella Molina, take on Hu Li and Ricky Tan. With Carter attacking Hu Li, Lee goes after Ricky Tan. Tan goads Lee on and taunts him, revealing the truth of his father's demise. Carter manages to reach Lee before he does anything stupid and calms his friend. Lee lowers the gun and Tan attacks once more, but Lee kicks him and sends him crashing out of the window to his death.
