What is this good for? Absolutely everything! All the magic, chemistry and 100% hilarity of the first two Rush Hour movies is kept intact, air-tight and fresh for the third instalment. Guaranteed you’ll be laughing your way back home.

There’s not much by way of story in Rush Hour 3. The World Criminal Court, headed by Minister Reynard (Sydow), enlists the help of Chinese Ambassador Han, Inspector Lee’s (Chan) charge, to track down the deadly Chinese Triad. But when the ambassador is shot, Lee and Carter (Tucker) decide to follow the trail of clues to Paris and deliver justice.

Remember cute little Soo Yung, the ambassador’s daughter from Movie 1? The duo must protect her too — all this while fighting Chinese hitmen and prancing around the scaffolding of the Eiffel Tower.
Jackie Chan fans will sing hallelujah — the stunts and fight sequences are fast, slick and follow his trademark style.

You’ll see him battling giant karate masters and even a murderous geisha with nothing more than a coffee table.
Then there’s Chris Tucker’s non-stop, 100 kmph dialogue delivery. Not only will he make you guffaw or even cry with sheer force of laughing, he manages to kick the bad guys the right way. Kungfu fighting delight!Surprises come in the form of cab driver George (Yvan Attal) who secretly yearns to be an American super spy, and French detective Revi, played by Roman Polanski.

 In his first role in an American film in fifteen years, the legend does nothing other than allow himself to get beaten up.No doubt Rush Hour 3 is a welcome rain shower in this dry spell of comedy.
