Plot Summary:
Chris Tucker returns to the big screen after a
six-year absence as he reunites with the all-star team of co-star Jackie Chan,
director Brett Ratner ("Rush Hour," "Rush Hour 2," "X-Men: The Last Stand," "Red
Dragon"), and writer Jeff Nathanson ("Rush Hour 2," "Catch Me If You Can") to
deliver the third installment of the blockbuster "Rush Hour" franchise. Arriving
in theaters on August 10, 2007, "Rush Hour 3" sees the beloved action comedy duo
of Tucker and Chan reprising their roles as LAPD Detective James Carter and
Chinese Chief Inspector Lee respectively. This time around, the two must travel
to Paris to battle a wing of the Chinese organized crime family, the Triads.
"Rush Hour 3" is being produced by Ratner, Jay Stern, and Arthur Sarkissian and
executive produced by Roger Birnbaum ("Memoirs of a Geisha") and Jon Glickman
("The Pacifier").

comedy byplay to keep audiences awake between the big action scenes, and

one gag at a time by recycling as much material as humanly
possible. Kevin Crust: LA Times
In terms of creative content, "Rush Hour 3" may be one of
the most conservation-minded movies ever made. Hardly a
joke, stunt, musical interlude or special effect is deployed
that doesn't seem to directly reference one or both of the
earlier "Rush Hour" movies...more
