After a botched assassination attempt, the mismatched duo finds themselves in Paris, struggling to retrieve a precious list of names, as the murderous crime syndicate's henchmen try their best to stop them. Once more, Lee and Carter must fight their way through dangerous gangsters; however, this time, the past has come back to haunt Lee. Will the boys get the job done once and for all?

A small handful of contrarians admitted to finding modest, undemanding fun in the chemistry between Chan and Tucker, but even they couldn't mount much of a defense.

“once you realize it's only going to be so good, you settle back and enjoy that modest degree of goodness, which is at least not badness, and besides, if you're watching Rush Hour 3, you obviously didn't have anything better to do, anyway.”

“like Lethal Weapon, this franchise has become lazier and less thrilling with each installment. Hopefully, unlike Lethal Weapon, they'll stop at Part Three.”

“The Rush job should put the franchise down for good.”
