Sang disguises himself as a cop, and stops the vehicle they are on before promptly shooting the two bodyguards. Having confirmed Han's presence in Los Angeles, Sang, who had escaped from Lee in Hong Kong, kidnaps Soo-Yung while she is chauffeured by two bodyguards to school. Shortly after Han and Soo-Yung arrive in the United States, on Soo-Yung's first day of school, Han receives a call from China but is cut off just after he announces his name. Carter reveals he is an undercover officer of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), and arrests Clive. Clive attempts to escape in his car, but is shot at by Carter, who in the scuffle detonates the C4 via gunshot and Clive bailing seconds before the car exploded. Carter knocks Clive out and tells the officers the same, before Clive regains consciousness and shoots at the two officers. Clive reveals he has C4, and Carter proven right with two arriving police officers alerted to investigate them, before Clive holds Carter hostage and threaten the cops to leave. James Carter ( Chris Tucker), a fast-talking and arrogant man, is introduced in Los Angeles rushing to a deal with bomb-maker Clive Cobb ( Chris Penn), who chastise him for being late to which he defends claiming a miscommunication and they should be dealing at somewhere quieter. She confides that she is anxious towards her new life in America given her father is to take up his new diplomatic post in Los Angeles and she was to follow, but Lee gives her a pendant and assures her she will be fine. Lee excuses himself from the party after Han announces his accomplishment, and is confronted by the daughter of Han, Soo-Yung Han. However, Lee has successfully recovered numerous Chinese cultural treasures stolen by Juntao, which he presents as a farewell victory to his departing superiors at a dinner party: Chinese Consul Solon Han ( Tzi Ma) and British Commander Thomas Griffin ( Tom Wilkinson). He finds only Sang ( Ken Leung), Juntao's right hand man, who manages to escape. I'm glad that Chris and Jackie still work well together, but to be honest I think the series should end with this one before it goes overload and loses what made it fun in the first place.On the last day of British rulership in Hong Kong in late 1997, Detective Inspector Yan Lee ( Jackie Chan) of the Hong Kong Police Force leads a raid at a shipping wharf, hoping to arrest the mysterious crime lord Juntao. The movie delivered a few laughs, some action scenes, and for what it was I thought it stayed true to its previous movie structures. It's hard to tell, but usually 3 movies is enough and the first one started like 10 years ago so its a rather large gap. It was very good and I'm glad the series is still working but perhaps the series should end here. Anyway, usual plot including a kidnapping and this time they go to Paris, and the two meet up with a person who wants to be like a spy. There's quite a few decent action scenes and again Chris Tucker's character delivers a lot of the jokes and Jackie Chan's still got the awesome moves and stunts but is it just me or was the action a bit tamer compared to the other two? Not that its much of a problem since I still enjoyed it but just something I noticed. This one follows the same structure, but how does it hold up? If you liked the first two, you'd probably enjoy this one. The first two were pretty good comedy movies staring both Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker as cop partners with a typical plot with good action mixed with comedy. So again we are back with a sequel of the Rush Hour series.
