Rush Hour 3

This is the 3rd incarnation of the series of films staring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. If you have not seen one of the other 2 films before then it not much of a big deal as you can still watch this film without any confusion because of it relating to previous films. If you have watched one or both of the Other Rush Hour films then this is pretty much the same deal with Chris Tucker as LAPD Detective inspector James Carter and Jackie Chan as Chinese Inspector Lee.

The Film starts of with filling you in on the situations of the two main characters of the film Carter and Lee, Lee being a bodyguard to the Chinese Ambassador to the US in New York and Carter reduced to Traffic duties on the streets of New York. When there is an Assassination attempt on the Chinese ambassador by the Triads just before he releases vital information on the secret society that would bring it down. This is where Carter and Lee are brought back together to solve the case and to bring down the triads.

The Film then takes up the normal route of both the previous films, as they travel to Paris to try and uncover the truth and to bring down the triads but has Lee got a secret that he doesn't want uncovered? There is all the usual comedy moments throughout the film and both Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker work really well together, and the fight scenes are Brilliant as you usually get with Jackie Chan. The film is fast flowing packed with action and laughs as you would expect.

There are a few things that let the film down a little, First is that it is very similar in story action and comic value to the two other Rush hour films so if your looking for something new out of this film forget it its more of the same. Secondly is Chris Tucker although extremely funny throughout the film does get a little annoying with his constant shouting.

All things considered though this is still a good family entertainment film and is always worth a watch even if you haven't seen the other two films, Jackie Chan is probably the star of the film taking the action scenes by storm with his fighting style as well as his well placed humour, Chris Tucker is funny as always in his bumbling style once you get past all his shouting. Its well worth a watch But I would say rent on DVD rather than Buy it unless you are an avid fan of the movies. Don't forget to wait for the outtakes that are in the credits at the end of the film.

Music and Effects are limited in this film as it focus' on the comedy and fighting action more than any special effects and music
