DVD released 26 December, 2007 at Entertainment in Video / Features of the DVD: PAL / 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 KeoghNewest Review: ... and Chris Tucker are the two main characters if you haven't already seen rush hour 1+2.

(Also appears at ShaunMunro.co.uk, cheers!) Director: Brett Ratner Cast: Jackie Chan, Tzi Ma, Roman Polanski, Max Von Sydow, Chris Tucker Release Date: August 10th, 2007 (US, UK) Certificate: PG-13 (US), 12A (UK) The Rush Hour series, up to this point, is essentially cliché-riddled buddy cop fare that, whilst obnoxious to the point of lunacy (mostly thanks to the insufferable Chris Tucker), is actually considerably more enjoyable than you'd expect. The action scenes are thrilling, the chemistry between the two leads authentic, and overall, these films are just 85 minutes of silly fun. I was intrigued at the bad press the ...

The Rush Hour films are not exactly high art, they're standard buddy cop movies that follow the usual format of two characters coming together and despite their differences, beating the bad guys and saving the day. The first film served its purpose and its main achievement for me was bringing the talents of Jackie Chan to a wider audience. It certainly made me check out his eastern films such as The Police Story series, films that show his madcap fight choreography and death defying stunts. The second film was pretty much like the first, entertaining but easily forgettable; needless to say it was a bigger hit than the first. Now this ...
