RUSH HOUR 3: JAMES CARTER & LEE IN PARIS



Jackie Chan & Chris Tucker they were totally outrageously funny in this movie! I mean from start to finish they had me laughing out of my seat saying ‘Ohmygosh, no they didn’t say that do that!’ In the beginning we get this amazing serenade that only Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) could do! It’s by far my favorite scene in the movie! Then we have Inspector Lee doing a real bang up job playing the bodyguard to an old friend who is about to reveal a huge secret, which basically leads Lee to an old acquaintance. Needless to say, I’m not going to ruin it for you, but the guy Kenji (Hiroyuki Sanada) is definitely a great twist to the rush!

Also we’re reintroduced to the little girl who brought Lee and Carter together in the first place, Soo Yung (Jingchu Zhang) now all grown up plays more of minor role in the plot, but all the same I love the way they did include her. I totally love the way they took a back-story and integrated a meaningful new story to the new movie!

As for the scenes between Chris Tucker and Noémie Lenoir who plays Genevieve, ohmygosh! They will have you falling out of your seat! Especially after the initial club scenes, lots of great singing in this movie! One thing the producers so didn’t do was put all the best scenes in the commercials! It’s so crazy, but every scene and almost every time Lee and Carter opened their mouths was a hoot. And Carter throughout the whole movie was seriously one tracked minded! I’m so not talking about the case either! In one word ‘Bubbles’, I was so like no he didn’t! Of course, if you’ve seen the commercials you know what scene I’m talking about, and all I’m going to say is it was all implied. Once you get beyond that onto the eerily entertaining 80’s scene with Genevieve (Noémie Lenoir), you’re going to love what happens next (man I can’t wait for that DVD!).

Okay, I have to warn you, you’re going to fall in love with that crazy cab driver George (Yvan Attal)! If you think the part about not driving ‘His kind’ is funny, you’re so going to love the rest of the ride! I think Yvan Attal was one of the best standout charact- ers of RUSH HOUR 3! His lines were funny and he was so emotional! Just crazy!!! Can you tell I was so loving this movie?
Of course, Jasmine (Youki Kudoh) the one who gives Lee (Chan) quite the beat down in that room is amazing! She is unstoppable! My favorite line of hers was, ‘Do you want to know a secret?’ Trust me they don’t! Then there is this brilliant exchange between Carter and that Chinese guy whose speaking French! I don’t know who came up with those scenes, but I was laughing so hard it wasn’t funny! Yeah whatever it was so funny!
And believe it or not, there are some sweet heartfelt moments in RUSH HOUR 3 that will make you smile and root our dynamic duo on. One part in particular Lee (Jackie Chan) orders some fried chicken, a total awe moment right there.
Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan seriously out did themselves in RUSH HOUR 3. It’s by far the best one they’ve made yet. Full of none-stop action and great humorous lines! The cast was wonderful from start to finish, so many characters yet they kept to their main story! Loved it!
The only downside for me was they used the Lord’s name in vain on two occasions that I can recall. It might have been more. Then again that nasty exchange between the French Policeman and the dynamic duo. That whole situation seemed a little pointless to me, there was the bad MJ impersonation and some questionable jokes. Parents go see the movie first so you can determine if it's suitable for your children. Moral value: I think it showed that some people are truly like family even if not blood related. Even in the end there’s a light in the darkest heart.
*****Rated PG-13
