Rush Hour 3 (Blu-ray Disc, 2007, 2-Disc Set)

Movie description
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 battle bad guys. Whereas the first movie was on Carter's turf, 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. Along the way, Lee must confront his old friend Kenji (Hiroyuki Sanada) in order to save the day. Fresh off of his highly successful (though critically maligned) "threequel" X-MEN: THE LAST STAND, Ratner tackles the third chapter of his own popular series, which follows the second movie by six years. Once again, Tucker provides the wisecracks, while Chan, who tones down the acrobatics, remains the emotional center of the franchise. Though Sanada (SUNSHINE, RINGU) and Von Sydow (MINORITY REPORT, THE SEVENTH SEAL) add a bit of gravitas to the film, and Polanski amuses with his rare acting appearance, RUSH HOUR 3 isn't quite as quick on its feet as previous installments, but it still provides plenty of slapstick comedy and relatively light action sequences, making it most readily appealing to teens.

The Chinese Triads have a secret to keep. Jackie and Tucker set out to Paris to find what the secret is. This forms the pin-point juncture of the movie surrounding which the plot revolves. Fun Packed, with a large chunk of recycled jokes with too little of Jackie Chan action , thats what I felt of the movie from a totally neutral perspective.But being a Jackie Chan fan that I am , the movie is an entertainer with loads of fun n chicks. Rush hour 3 evolves on predictable lines ,but still entertainment quotient remains pretty high throughout. The on screen chemistry between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker is simply rocking . But for an avid Jackie fan like me nothing pains more than a movie , with him in the rolls and yet , not having the traditional breathtaking Jackie Stunts. But for a man aged 53 Jackie is still more fast , agile and flexible than most of his much younger co-stars. The last stunt atop the Eiffel tower was a masterstroke with Jackie and Tucker defying height and gravity to put up a creditable show .But yeah, the movie ought to be a disappointment for those who expected a still young, reckless and crazy Jackie running around and kicking arse of the do-no-gooders. There is less of the traditional slap stick comedy that one associates with Jackie Chan movies. On the whole, a must watch for Jackie fans with a very high quotient of entertainment value .

I bought blu-ray disc RUSH HOUR 3 three weeks ago and I hurry watch this movie.
I am Asia people.I be familiar Jackie Chan very much. And I know Chris Tucker in THE FIFTH ELEMENT both have talent in performance.
This movie can mix Asia actor with American actor is harmoniously. Make this movie have
fun Asia style mix fight American style. I recommend if you like Chris Tucker or Jackie Chan. This is reason you buy this movie keep in your collection.

I so far have loved all three of the Rush Hour movies. But this one i would have to say is my favorite one so far. These movies just keep getting more and more funny. In this 3rd installment they are after the an assassin of the Ambassador and you find out that the shooter has a link to Detective Lees (Jackie Chan) past. I would have to say the funniest part to me was when they were questioning one of the of the bad guys and found out he spoke French but looks Chinese. They bring in a Nun to interpret what he says and in return have her interpret what they said back to him. Funny movie all around with lots of action and a must own!!!

The movie is OK no great script or acting but more of what you expect from seeing either of the first two movies. Jackie Chan is always entertaining with his comedic fight sequences. His stunts are always the highlight of his movies.

Blu-ray picture quality is fantastic. The picture & sound alone are worth getting this on Blu-ray instead of a regular DVD and there seems to be plenty of bargins out there where the price difference isn't that much. Plus you get over 3 hours of extras.
