Keeps me cracking all the while
What I loved most: Yu/Mi parts, NG scenes, French driver
What I really hated: big kunfu giant, cheongsam lady
Really love the 'who are you?' 'i'm yu/(you)' parts. Many of the things which Carter mentioned are really funny, like he said he's half Chinese, studying Buddha scripture of some sort. The French driver is exceptionally gungho of driving the duo around Paris and enthusiastically wanting to be an American super spy! I thought the lady soo(something) whom the duo was supposed to protect is quite redundant. Thumbs up for the actress starring as Genevie who shaved her head for this movie. She is hot! I thought the cheongsam lady was quite extra in the show appearing while the duo are in the casino and fighting against Lee with knives coming out of her fan and at the last part where she tried to harm soo(something). I absolutely love the NG parts!!!!!! NO doubt about it! Jackie obviously did his own stunts but still not that proficient in Mandarin. He couldn't pronounce 'civil' and kept pronouncing it as 'seafood'. And the part where Carter mentioned he took Buddist studies he said 'booty studies'. Goes to show what he's been thinking of. OH! And the part where Lee told Carter that they're not brothers, during the NG scene, Jackie was suppose to take it after Tucker finish his line but he forgotten so Tucker said, "We're not brothers? After all that we'd been through? Rush Hour 1, Rush Hour 2?" Then they burst out laughing... LOL~

Hilarious, Entertaining Comedy...
The part where the taxi driver says "You Americans always starting war, always killing people...lost in Vietnam, lost in Iraq etc"....asking him to sing the anthem, and say "I love America" will offend some folks? The hilarious parts came in during the fights at the casino with lady in black, and during the bikers' pursuit of their "super spy" taxi...More

Overall, it is action packed movie is definitely worth your bucks..

This is a pity because Tucker had been the 'fun guy' attraction of his 'ying-yang' partnership with Jackie Chan in the first two movies. Now, after a six-year gap, he almost turns "Rush Hour 3" into a wreck.
This second sequel has Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) playing bodyguard to Chinese Ambassador Han (Tzi Ma) at a World Criminal Court conference in L.A. when the envoy is shot while presenting his speech. The culprit is Kenji (Hiroyuki Sanada), a member of an international triad - and someone who had been rather close to Lee.
Carter takes it upon himself to help Lee track down the gang, embodied in an elusive clue called Shy Shen. The mission takes them to Paris where the hapless duo muck around in the city's sewers, cabaret nightspots and even the top of the Eiffel Tower, ostensibly to provide the customary Jackie Chan stunts.
Still, except for a stunt sequence involving a gang of motor-bikers and a French taxi, most of the action scenes fall flat - thanks to shoddy choreography and an anaemic script. Yes, we see Lee and Kenji facing off each other in a sword fight but we know that neither of them is going to kill each other. We see veteran thespian Max von Sydow as a French Foreign Minister and we can safely predict how he would turn out to be in the plot mechanics. Even director Roman Polanski, who has a cameo as a sadistic French cop, fails to provide the movie the extra star-power that it desperately needs.
Sure, Brett Ratner, who has helmed the previous movies, throws in lots of eye candy in the form of a bevy of Folies-Bergeres girls and even a femme fatale (Noemie Lenoir as Geneviere) as a one-night stand for Carter. However, the excitement dissipates as soon as these scenes are over. There is precious little in the way of freshness or wit in this effort and we are left to tolerate the ramblings of motor-mouthed Tucker most of the time.
Arguably, Ratner and his screenwriters seem to have hurt the image of the French and they make up for this with a subplot about George (Yves Attal), the heroic Parisian cabbie who helps Lee and Carter escape their enemies. The subplot may appear rather contrived, as is everything in the movie, but it should help give the movie a boost at the French box-office.
Unlike Bruce Willis in "Die Hard 4.0", the "Rush Hour" franchise now looks like it is caught in a standstill. It is time for Chan and Tucker to say 'adieu' to each other and go their separate ways.
