Rush Hour 3 (Widescreen and Full-Screen) description
Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker head for the City of Lights in the somewhat threadbare but sporadically exciting Rush Hour 3, the second sequel to director Brett Ratner's 1998 cop-buddy hit. Chan's Inspector Lee and Tucker's Detective Carter hop from Los Angeles to Paris in pursuit of a Chinese triad only to find a mixed reception, including a brutal warning from a French cop (Roman Polanski) and anti-American sentiments from a cab driver (Yvan Attal) who eventually becomes an important and funny ally. Lee and Carter, when not fighting their way out of rooms full of martial arts gangsters and crazed assassins (Sun Ming Ming), follow a trail to a beautiful woman (Noemie Lenoird) who literally carries a vital clue on her person. Lee also holds secret meetings with a United Nations authority (Max Von Sydow), but his personal struggles with a criminal mastermind (Hiroyuki Sanada)--who happens to be an important figure in his lifeare at the heart of this movie. The aging Chan still seems to defy the laws of physics with some of his more spectacular stunts. But it's true those stunts take a little more time than they used to, and judicious editing makes Chan look spry as ever. He frets charmingly in Rush Hour 3, while Tucker revives his brash character's motormouth guile and whiny womanizing. There isn't a lot left to be discovered about Lee and Carter's compatibility, and even with a minor crisis over their loyalty to one another in Rush Hour 3, their all-important relationship is almost too easy to take for granted now. Fortunately, the film's biggest thrills come from several wild fight scenes, especially a climactic battle on the Eiffel Tower that is rich in imagination. --Tom Keogh |

♥♥♥♥♥ |
Very underwhelming.
|
It's been so, so long since I've watched the other two movies.
To be honest, i remember nothing of the first movie which many think was the best.
Of Part 2 I remember the little asian girl singing Mariah Carey's "Fantasy" in the car. She was JAMMIN'! haha...
And the ending had a casino fight with a few thugs and I remember one of them, probably Chris, fighting this chick who was very good at fighting.
They both were!
But ike I said it's been a LONG time so other parts are hazy or non-existent!!
But this movie...it starts off with Tucker directing traffic (he's a police officer this time) and he's singing Do Me by an old-school singer, that I can't remember.
It's not Stephanie Mills but it's one who came out around her time, I would think!
The fight scenes were OK, the comedy was OK and the rest had a been there done that feel.
It was underwhelming for sure and I didn't quite get through the whole movie.
I got really tired and I turned it off because it was leaving a lot to be desired.
Shoot me down for not watching the whole thing but that's just how it went down.
Before I leave you though, I must say that this movie was actually pretty racist also. Not towards blacks, but from blacks in a sense. Whoever wrote the script, gave Chris a few lines of "funny" Asian jokes such as the china man and other racist, predictable fodder that was to an extent funny, but not funny enough to be worth saying.
He also has a line where he says to his partner in crime that he knows all he does eat is rice and such.
2.7 stars.
End note: Give me a bad rating if you want but all we have to do is look at the overall score. It reflects my opinion rather well. Don't get me wrong though. It wasn't a total bummer. There were funny parts. It's just that in between all that you were waiting for something...
And the racist lines were rather rampant. |
