Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker head for the City of Lights in the somewhat threadbare but sporadically exciting Rush Hour 3, the second sequel to director Brett Ratner's 1998 cop-buddy hit. Chan's Inspector Lee and Tucker's Detective Carter hop from Los Angeles to Paris in pursuit of a Chinese triad only to find a mixed reception, including a brutal warning from a French cop (Roman Polanski) and anti-American sentiments from a cab driver (Yvan Attal) who eventually becomes an important and funny ally. Lee and Carter, when not fighting their way out of rooms full of martial arts gangsters and crazed assassins (Sun Ming Ming), follow a trail to a beautiful woman (Noemie Lenoird) who literally carries a vital clue on her person. Lee also holds secret meetings with a United Nations authority (Max Von Sydow), but his personal struggles with a criminal mastermind (Hiroyuki Sanada)--who happens to be an important figure in his life-- are at the heart of this movie.
The aging Chan still seems to defy the laws of physics with some of his more spectacular stunts. But it's true those stunts take a little more time than they used to, and judicious editing makes Chan look spry as ever. He frets charmingly in Rush Hour 3, while Tucker revives his brash character's motormouth guile and whiny womanizing. There isn't a lot left to be discovered about Lee and Carter's compatibility, and even with a minor crisis over their loyalty to one another in Rush Hour 3, their all-important relationship is almost too easy to take for granted now. Fortunately, the film's biggest thrills come from several wild fight scenes, especially a climactic battle on the Eiffel Tower that is rich in imagination. --Tom Keogh

This is your usual fare from Tucker and Chan, high octane action, stupid jokes and at times rather confrontational. I didn't really like Yvan Attal in this at all, he should stick to films like Le Serpent, where he can be taken seriously, instead of spouting off silly stereotypes in his taxi and acting like a fool. Noémie Lenoir was good in this and shows signs of being a good actress.
This is a mediocre film that really didn't deserve such a high bitrate conversion to Blu-Ray, but at least it was done properly, the image is stunning and bright, the colours suit the palate, and the sound is deafening with it's 7.1 mix. This is truly a decent release!
You do get commentaries on the movie though, which is handy, otherwise the rest of the extras are on disk 2, which contains the making of, deleted scenes and out-takes. This is just as good as the 2 disk DVD edition, which in a way is good, but really they could have done with the HD treatment.
Pretty good release.
IN HIGH DEF,THE FILM IS IMPRESSIVE WITH TOP NOTCH SOUND AND THE FANTASTIC EFTHEL TOWER SCENE LOOKS STUNNING WITH GREAT DETAIL.
ANOTHER BRILLIANT SEQUEL & VERY FUNNY FILM GIVEN THE BLU-RAY TREATMENT. HIGHLY RECCOMMEDED FOR ALL RUSH HOUR,JACKIE AND CHRIS FANS.
THE 'RUSH'CONTINUES!!
I would recommend my friends to watch it, a five stars movie!
