Synopsis

A sequel to the hugely popular series of films about comically mismatched cops Lee and Carter. This time around Chief Inspector Lee runs into trouble while escorting Chinese Ambassador Han to the World Criminal Court Summit in Los Angeles. Detective James Carter, now demoted to traffic cop, is on hand to help however, and soon the pair are heading to Paris to do battle with the French police, the triads and, of course, each other.

Movie review

From Time Out London

The enormously bad latest entry in the odd-couple comedy-action cop franchise sees the shrill Detective James Carter (Tucker) and long-suffering Chief Inspector Lee (Chan) going up against the Triads in Paris (don’t ask). It’s lazily racist, sexist and homophobic, insultingly shoddy in its construction and even the fight scenes are dull. There are perhaps two good bits: the (presumably) tongue-in-cheek montage of melancholy after our heroes’ obligatory falling-out and the rueful realisation of a French cabbie that ‘I will never know what it is to be an American; what it is to kill for no reason.’ Oh, and marvelling at how palpably ashamed Von Sydow is of his dodgy diplomat shtick – and, one hopes, the whole thing.

Posted on Aug 31 2007 19:57 The critics must have been watching this film with their eyes closed. This was a really funny, lighthearted film suitable for everyone. I didn't stop laughing the whole way through and neither did the rest of the audience!

Posted on Aug 29 2007 18:30 We took our 11 yr old son & thought it was brilliant. I was worried when I read the review, but my son is a great fan of Jackie Chan so we went anyway. To be honest I think the person who wrote the review must have been having a bad day & took it out on the film. We all thought it was great, laughing at the funny parts, loving the great stunts & adoring the cabbie (best part)GIVE IT A GO!!

Posted on Aug 25 2007 23:07 This review is not very accurate to be honest. In my opinion, rish hour 3 is probably the best in the series - very funny, and the story is pretty good as well.
