Buy This Item Rush Hour 3 [Blu-ray] by New Line  Available from Amazon  $27.95  on 8-28-2008     Newline Rush Hour 3 (Blu-ray) 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 battlebad guys. Whereas the first movie was on Carter'sturf, 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. Alongthe way, Lee must confront his old friend Kenji (Hiroyuki Sanada) in order to save the day. Reader Reviews It's been so, so long since I've watched the other two movies. To be honest, i remember nothing of the first movie which many think was the best. Of Part 2 I remember the little asian girl singing Mariah Carey's "Fantasy" in the car. She was JAMMIN'! haha... And the ending had a casino fight with a few thugs and I remember one of them, probably Chris, fighting this chick who was very good at fighting. They both were! But ike I said it's been a LONG time so other parts are hazy or non-existent!! But this movie...it starts off with Tucker directing traffic (he's a police officer this time) and he's singing Do Me by an old-school singer, that I can't remember. It's not Stephanie Mills but it's one who came out around her time, I would think! The fight scenes were OK, the comedy was OK and the rest had a been there done that feel. It was underwhelming for sure and I didn't quite get through the whole movie. I got really tired and I turned it off because it was leaving a lot to be desired. Shoot me down for not watching the whole thing but that's just how it went down. Before I leave you though, I must say that this movie was actually pretty racist also. Not towards blacks, but from blacks in a sense. Whoever wrote the script, gave Chris a few lines of "funny" Asian jokes such as the china man and other racist, predictable fodder that was to an extent funny, but not funny enough to be worth saying. He also has a line where he says to his partner in crime that he knows all he does eat is rice and such. 2.7 stars. End note: Give me a bad rating if you want but all we have to do is look at the overall score. It reflects my opinion rather well. Don't get me wrong though. It wasn't a total bummer. There were funny parts. It's just that in between all that you were waiting for something... And the racist lines were rather rampant.
