Critics Consensus

Rush Hour 3 is a tired rehash of the earlier films, and a change of scenery can't hide a lack of new ideas.

No matter how fast Chris Tucker shoots his mouth or Jackie Chan flashes his fists, they can't recapture the charm of the original Rush Hour in this third installment.

Like Lethal Weapon, this franchise has become lazier and less thrilling with each instalment. Hopefully, unlike Lethal Weapon, they'll stop at Part Three.

Film Frenzy

Somehow manages to be even lousier than the second film.

By the third time around, though, we know that these two get along and it's just not as funny anymore.

Jackie Chan at his best and Chris Tucker in his finest role. Both seem to be enjoying themselves, and overall, this is simply a fun movie.

Rush Hour 3 was alright, but not as good as Rush Hour 2 or the original. But still it was super funny and action-packed. But I still liked Rush Hour 3. Edit: After re-watching Rush Hour 3 made me update my rating to a 4.5/5 Star rating instead of 4/5 Star rating.

I went into "Rush Hour 3" not expecting it to surpass the first two classics, and it didn’t—but I still had a great time with it. The dynamic between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker remains the highlight, even if it doesn’t hit as hard as before. The humor was a mixed bag for me; some jokes landed perfectly (like the hilarious nun translation scene), while others felt like they were trying a bit too hard. The action sequences were decent, but they lacked the same spark that made the earlier films iconic. That said, the Paris setting did add a fresh backdrop, and the Eiffel Tower showdown was a fun touch. Max von Sydow and Hiroyuki Sanada brought some added gravitas, but the story itself felt a little predictable and lacked the charm of the first two films. Still, as a fan of the franchise, it was nice to see the duo back on screen one last time. If you’re a fan of the series, it’s worth watching for the nostalgia, the laughs, and a few genuinely great moments. It’s not the strongest in the trilogy, but it’s an entertaining sendoff.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
