In which 2001 movie did Chris Tucker play the character James Carter?

Chris Tucker played James Carter in the 2001 movie Rush Hour 2.

Rush Hour 2 is the second film in the buddy-cop series pairing Tucker with Hong Kong martial-arts star Jackie Chan. Tucker plays Detective James Carter of the Los Angeles Police Department, while Chan plays Hong Kong Police Force Chief Inspector Lee. After the first film established their uneasy partnership, the sequel sends the pair to Hong Kong for what Carter expects to be a vacation.

Their trip quickly becomes an investigation involving murdered U.S. customs agents, counterfeit money, and Triad crime lord Ricky Tan. The film combines martial-arts action, international crime, and Tucker’s rapid-fire comic delivery.

Directed by Brett Ratner and written by Jeff Nathanson, Rush Hour 2 was released on August 3, 2001. It was a major commercial success, earning more worldwide than the original Rush Hour. The series continued with Rush Hour 3 in 2007, again featuring Tucker as James Carter and Chan as Inspector Lee.
