I will not apologize for my Jackie Chan fetish and I have no doubt that I will be seeing every movie in the earliest form I can get my hands on until the day one of us is dead.
That said, I also know that most of the suck pretty hard (especially the American ones). Rush Hour 3 is really very much in the hard suckage category. Among its many problems is the fact that they are unable to hide the fact that Chan is 53 years old and just can't do it any more.
He is still agile and good with the acrobatics but when the better fight choreography goes to Chris Tucker then there is really a problem.
Add to that the fact that they apparently just said "let's reshoot the first Rush Hour but in Paris this time" and it really is a waste of time. Unless you have to see everything with Chan, just go watch the first one again.
