Editing Rush Hour 2 (section)

==Plot==
A few years after rescuing a Chinese diplomat's daughter,{{efn|As depicted in ''[[Rush Hour (1998 film)|Rush Hour]]'' (1998).}} [[LAPD]] Detective James Carter is in [[Hong Kong]] on vacation with his friend, [[Hong Kong Police Force]] Chief Inspector Lee. His vacation is put on hold when a bomb at the [[Consulate General of the United States, Hong Kong and Macau|US Consulate General]] kills two undercover [[U.S. Customs|US Customs]] agents. Lee is assigned to the case and discovers that his late father's police partner, Ricky Tan, is somehow involved. Lee and Carter attempt to question Ricky, now a [[Triad (organized crime)|Triad]] leader, at a massage parlor, resulting in a brawl with his bodyguards forcing Lee and Carter to flee through Hong Kong while completely naked.

The U.S. Secret Service, led by Agent Sterling, and the Hong Kong Police Force fight over jurisdiction of the case. Lee's office is bombed and Lee, unaware Carter has left the building, believes him dead. They reunite at a party on Ricky's yacht, where Ricky scolds his underling, Hu Li. Lee and Carter confront Ricky, who claims he is being [[Frameup|framed]] by his enemies and asks for protection, but Hu Li shoots him and escapes. Sterling holds Lee responsible for Ricky's death and orders him off the case. Carter is ordered back to Los Angeles, but convinces Lee to return to [[Los Angeles]] with him after realizing how personal this case is for Lee after he reveals Tan's history with his father, leading up until his death.

Carter assures Lee that every large criminal operation has a rich white man behind it; in this case, he believes that man is Steven Reign, a [[billionaire]] Los Angeles [[hotelier]] he saw acting suspiciously at Ricky Tan's party. Staking out Reign Towers, they spot Isabella Molina, whom Carter met on Ricky's yacht, receiving a delivery from Hu Li. Mistaking the package for another bomb, Lee and Carter try to intervene, but Molina reveals she is an undercover U.S. Secret Service agent, looking into Reign's laundering of $100 million in [[superdollars]], with the only difference being that they burn with a red color unlike real dollars.

Lee and Carter visit Kenny, an ex-con, now Carter's informant who runs a gambling den in the back of his Chinese restaurant. He tells them about a customer with a suspicious amount of hundred-dollar bills, which Carter confirms are Reign's counterfeits. They trace the money to a bank, where they are captured by Hu Li and the Triads. Taken to Las Vegas in a Triad truck, Lee and Carter escape, realizing that Reign is laundering the $100 million through his new Red Dragon Casino. At the Red Dragon, Molina points Lee to the engraving plates used to print the counterfeit money, while Carter creates a distraction to help Lee sneak past security. Hu Li captures Lee, taping a Ying Tao grenade in his mouth before bringing him to Ricky, who is still alive. When Ricky departs, Molina tries to arrest Hu Li but is shot, and Lee and Carter manage to remove the grenade before Hu Li detonates it, evacuating the casino.

Carter fights Hu Li, accidentally knocking her out with a [[Qiang (spear)|spear]], while Lee pursues Ricky. In the casino's penthouse, Reign prepares to escape with the plates but Ricky fatally stabs him. Lee and Carter confront Ricky, who admits to killing Lee's father. In the ensuing scuffle, Ricky falls to his death when Lee accidentally kicks him out of a window, avenging Lee's father's death. Hu Li enters the room with a time bomb, forcing Lee and Carter to escape on a makeshift [[zip line]] as Hu Li [[Suicide attack|dies in the explosion]].

Later at [[Harry Reid International Airport|McCarran International Airport]], Sterling and Molina thank Lee for his work on the case and Molina kisses him. Planning to go their separate ways when Lee gives Carter his late father's police badge after finally finding closure for his father's death, Lee and Carter change their minds when Carter reveals the large amount of money he won at [[Caesar's Palace]]. The pair head to New York City to indulge themselves while performing a [[Victory dance (sports)|victory dance]] to [[Michael Jackson]]'s "[[Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough]]".
