Rush Hour 3 (DVD)

Hello please rate this review,Thanks : In this third installment of the popular action comedy franchise, LAPD Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) and Chief Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) book a flight for Europe and prepare to clean up the streets of Paris after discovering that Chinese Triads have extended their criminal influence to the City of Lights. Chinese Ambassador Han (Tzi Ma) is in Los Angeles and about to reveal the details of a clandestine triad conspiracy to the World Criminal Court when an assassin takes aim and pulls the trigger. Though Carter has been demoted to directing traffic at the time of the shooting, Lee is acting as a bodyguard to Han when the bullets begin to fly. Lee quickly gives chase, but hesitates when he realizes that the gunman is Kenji (Hiroyuki Sanada), his old friend from the orphanage. When triads steal an envelope containing vital information regarding the conspiracy from Soo Young (Zhang Jingchu)'s Chinatown kung-fu studio, Carter and Chief Inspector Lee race to reach Genevieve (Noemie Lenoir), an underground entertainer who could prove the key to bagging the bad guys. During the course of their investigation, however, triads clash with the French police, threatening to turn the romance capitol of Europe into an explosive hotbed of crime and violence.

Better than the second but not as good as the original but few films ever are but still worth watching.

just as good as the other two, just as funny and just as much action. chan and tucker are great together just as the other films. nothing less than what you would expect

A funny film with great scenes from Jackie Chan as you may have come to expect. Chris Tucker has a few hillarious moments too.
Like I said, if you enjoyed 1 and 2 this film is well worth the watch. If you want a film that is beautiful and thought provoking; watch House of the Flying Daggers!

Loved every minute of this film , Chris tucker worth the money to buy dvd alone on top of that the kids laughed alot and loved action stunts etc Jacki Chan coolist middle aged china man on the planet...

So they are back again, i could not stop laughing myself at this movie. Saw it first day first show at the movies. Then when i bought it on dvd recently for the 2nd time. I still laughed at as hard. It had more of everything and a good combination of both 1&2. The only thing that let this movie down was its weak story line. The film was a varied version of storyline but of a similar style to the first two, so after the first 40mins of the film, the whole thing gets predicatble. But if your up for just laughing your ass off, then this is definately the movie for you.

A great all round action/comedy film! Not as good as the other two but still a great film! The duo bring the series of films to a good finish with a good story line.

The Chan/Tucker pairing - although starting to fill out a little in the looks department - still holds all the original talent and more, only refined now - it's more glossy and more OTT than the first two, but that's what we were hoping for - surely?

Yes it's just the same story with a slight angle - buddies/enemies, take on the bad guys, explore a little sentimentality in an exotic and sexy location, meet hot chicks, get into loads of hilarious scrapes, but eventually save the day. For that most films score a doughnut, a big fat zero, but all is forgiven on the creativity front because of the magic of Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan.

I truly believe you could pair the two of them together and just watch hours of footage - that's why we know there'll be, and wait for, the outtakes in the end credits. If you liked the first two, you'll like this.

The story is as far fetched as the death-defying acts of heroism they perform, more so than the first two, but let's face it, we didn't come for a cerebral experience or to see realism and analyse anything. We came for the visceral thrill of watching two exceptionally cool characters whupp some bad guys in a funny, slapstick fashion. After all, as everyone knows, the greatest form of humour is violence (cartoons anyone?).

Honestly - I can't understand why anyone would give negative criticism - surely by the third film you'd know what to expect?

Rush Hour 3 - Chan/Tucker, still got the chemistry to make it big, stupid, and hugely entertaining.

After hearing negative comments about this film from friends, I decided to give it a chance anyway.

I am a fan of the series and thought that this film would be better than people were stating. I was right. But its all a matter of opinion.

The first installment in the series was undoubtably the best. The second was ok and a worthy sequel. But no where near the quality of the first.

I believe the third film is certainly better than the second. It offers something slightly different.

The story is quite good, if not a little over the top.

It is definately a worthwhile watch, especially since it is so cheap as a boxset now.

In director Brett Ratner's RUSH HOUR 3, African-American cop James Carter (Chris Tucker) once again reunites with Chinese inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) to both taunt and battle bad guys. Whereas the first movie was on Carter's turf, and the second was set in Lee's homeland, this outing finds both Carter and Lee out of their element in Paris, dealing not only with criminals, but also with the quirks of French culture. Along the way, Lee must confront his old friend Kenji (Hiroyuki Sanada) in order to save the day. Fresh off of his highly successful (though critically maligned) "threequel" X-MEN: THE LAST STAND, Ratner tackles the third chapter of his own popular series, which follows the second movie by six years. Once again, Tucker provides the wisecracks, while Chan, who tones down the acrobatics, remains the emotional center of the franchise. Though Sanada (SUNSHINE, RINGU) and Von Sydow (MINORITY REPORT, THE SEVENTH SEAL) add a bit of gravitas to the film, and Polanski amuses with his rare acting appearance.

It was funny and a great film for a evening of laughing and relaxing. The chemistry between jackie chan and Tucker makes the film a great comedy.

if like us you are a fan of these two, then you will enjoy it, all the usual mayhem, in a paris setting
seven/eleven-you know which one that is, is a bit chubbier in the face,where next in the world ? & of course must not forget the trademark outtakes, brill.

Again we see the daring duo fighting the crimes again and this time vising France and hilarious comedy but again a bit far fetched in places but a good round entertaining film that is a must see for any Chan , Tucker fans plus those in need of a good film

Back to the same formula for Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, but it seems to work alright.

The bad guy is easily predictable (if you've seen the first two you'll know who it is as soon as he appears), but that doesn't really change very much.

Lots of action, I think there's a bit less fighting, but it doesn't suffer form it (and Jackie Chan is getting on a bit for the stunts he does).

All in all, a nice distraction for a few hours, but not one I'd want to watch over and over.

Excellent Movie if you are big jackie chan fan you will love this movie ive got all the collection worth the money

If you have seen Rush hour's 1 & 2 then you have to watch 3..I always say that they are never as good as the first movies they bring out,but i think this is just as good..Chris Tucker is soooo funny haha and jackie chan is lovely.I highly recommend this movie!

I saw this moving for the first time shortly after it first came out and LOVED it, if you like Rush Hour 1 and 2 then u will LOVE this its just the same fun and martial arts action as the first two only Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are older but both get better with age. Jackie Chan's stunts are the same daredevil stunts and Chris Tucker is the same funny dude but with better fighting skills.
