After a reference of Rush Hour 3 in the outtakes of Rush Hour 2, I got pretty pumped and after 6 years, it was really worth the wait.. I know some people may think, "well within those 6 years Rush Hour 3 and perhaps a fourth one would be made" but I think Rush Hour 3 came in a right time and concluded this years streak of the number "3" for sequels on a good note..
Now about Rush Hour 3, this time around Carter and Lee are parted back to investigate the troubling issues of one Ambassador Han (Tzi Ma), a leader of organization that its primary objective is to get rid of the remaining Triads that are a threat to the World Court Council and its leader, Reynard (Max Von Sydow) but when Ambassador Han gets shot and Han's daughter Soo Yung (Jingchu Zhang) gets kidnapped, it leads Carter and Lee on a chase to stop the Triads and it eventually leads them to the city of love, Paris. There Carter and Lee must find the source of the Triads and it's leader.. Kenji (Hiroyuki Sanada), who is Lee's long lost brother. Roaming the streets of Paris, Carter and Lee then run into a neurotic cab driver named George (Yvan Attal) who is now part of the chase and becomes their cabbie for this game of cat and mouse. With Carter and Lee now in the city of love, watching every angle.. they must put an end to the Triads and rescue Soo Yung.
To me Rush Hour 3 was a very good installment, I've read some reviews where it's been said that in this movie there seems to be more humor and less action.. well the humor played a key factor in the first and second Rush Hour and I believe for Rush Hour 3, they got it just right. In my opinion expected humor is more funnier than accidental humor but this is Rush Hour and they share both qualities and so saying that, Rush Hour 3 was very good and I can't wait for Rush Hour 4....
7.5/10
