Don't bother rushing to the cinemas for Rush Hour 3.
Although very very funny and superbly done action scenes by Jackie Chan, the movie had lots of unnecessary sexy scenes thanks to Carter [Chris Tucker] the one man woman wanting machine, barely clad women and the usual Chris Tucker poking fun at every thing on earth. As for the female cast, the only few i was impressed with was Noemie Lenoir [Genevieve] and Youki Kudoh, whose character is unfortunately named Dragon Lady. Noemie, because she is absolutely gorgeous, an artist's dream face, and Youki, for her action scenes, ending in an implied revolting death.
The movie was quite predictable, of course, Rush Hour 3 is not exactly intelligent material. I could practically see the next scene coming. I found myself muttering, "ah i bet something's gonna happen now.. [boom crash bang] there it is."
The acting was pretty standard stuff, although i have to say Jackie Chan's English and acting is definitely improving. Chris Tucker is his usual self, but there was this one irritating Asian girl, who is cast as Soo Yung, the Ambassador's daughter. Please. Like you couldn't afford to hire an Asian girl that acted better. So fake, it's almost like they were paying her to open her big big teary eyes and expecting the audience to melt in them. What an insult.
Good movie to laugh at, but overall not good enough.
P.S. If you enjoy the end bloopers which are now signature with Jackie Chan movies, you will not be disappointed. Seafood, anyone?
