Rush Hour 3 (2007)
Not long after a Chinese ambassador tells Lee (Jackie Chan) he is glad that Lee is protecting him. the ambassador is shot. The ambassador was about to announce the big wig behind the Triad, a deadly crime organization. Lee chases the would-be assassin, only to discover that he knows the man. He lets the guy get away, just as Carter (Chris Tucker) arrives to give Lee backup.
After the Triad attempts to finish off the ambassador as he lays in the hospital, Lee and Carter jet off to France to get to the bottom of the chaos. Their search leads to a dancer (Noemie Lenoir) who is linked to the Triad.
Like most sequels, this falls short. The cultural differences between Chinese Lee and African-American Carter were mined for enough jokes in the first Rush Hour (1998). There are the usual spectacular fights between Chan and various bad guys, and some amusing moments, but nothing much new.
Plus size model Mia Tyler has a small role in the beginning of the film. Max von Sydow appears here; he was in Minority Report (2002). Director Roman Polanski has an uncredited role as a French police chief.
