Catfight Report Review - Rush Hour II - Roselyn Sanchez vs Ziyi Zhang

Review by Starr

While Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are the stars in this inferiour sequel, there is a bright spot....or should I say two bright spots: Roselyn Sanchez and Zhang Ziyi.

This was the first big budget movie role for Roselyn, who before, had done bit parts, and a soap opera. After this, she had recurring roles on three television crime dramas, including "Without A Trace".

(Lord knows) where she was being hidden before this movie.........but she shines here!

Ziyi has almost exclusively worked in Chinese cinema; this movie being one of three exceptions to date. This beauty had just finished Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon when she grabbed this scene stealing role.

Early on, the "looks" their characters give each other, tell you it "won't be long" before they have it out. And although brief, have it out they do!

Initially, both are thought to be gangster molls.

(though Ziyi is clearly more assassin than moll)

Roselyn reveals her true nature as an undercover detective, and then the two beauties throw down.

Though Roselyn hangs tough initially, she is clearly outgunned here, and when relieved of her weapon, can only run with Ziyi for a few seconds, before the Chinese vixen nearly KO's Rosely with a spinning martial arts backfist!

Roselyn recovers, and engages her nemesis again, holding up until things fall the wrong way, as Ziyi retrieves her weapon, and like a true heel, shoots Roselyn from behind with her gun.

Thankfully, it's only a flesh wound and not fatal, but it ends the all-too brief confrontation between these two goddesses.

Still, the buildup isn't bad, the movie is funny, and the chicks are damn hot!
