"Rush Hour 3" features a slightly slower Jackie Chan and a slightly puffy Chris Tucker, but he is just as funny as always. In the last episode of this trilogy we go from L. A. to Paris, France in pursuit of the would-be assassin of Ambassador Han (Tzi Ma).
James Carter (Chris Tucker) is no longer a detective for the LAPD. It seems he made one too many mistakes and has been busted down to a traffic cop. He seamlessly morphed right back into detective mode when he saw his old partner Lee (Jackie Chan) pursuing Kenji (Hiroyuki Sanada), a Triad gang member and attempted assassin. Their chase took them to France where they'd get into more trouble.
RH3 did fall into some uninspired tropes. There was the kidnapped girl for trade, the ultra-good guy trying to save his nemesis, and the old white man (the late Max Von Sydow) as the antagonist behind it all. Casting the cliches aside, RH3 was funny, enjoyable, and entertaining.
