Old school comedy at its best

Ah yes, another serving of fun and hysterical laughs courtesy of loud-mouth LAPD cop James Carter and Ace Detective Inspector Lee. Its been a long time coming for this third installment to come about, because it nearly took 6 years in the drawing board. But definitely it was worth the wait. Chris Tucker reprises his role as we know him from his other roles as a loud or rather very loud skinny black dude who likes to talk his way out of trouble. And Jackie Chan the original drunken master himself as Inspector Lee was not bad himself in this third serving. I remembered 8 years ago, I was talking to my classmate who had just seen Rush Hour and he said he almost pissed his pants laughing so hard. But then way back then I hadnt seen it myself so I pretty skeptical about how funny it was. Then it came on cable a year after, and yes I was instantly hooked because of the fact that it was hilarious. And the franchise did well in the box office like oh I dont know 400 million for the first two, so thats your proof right there. Well this time however they pretty much did what they did best, which is fight the evil guy and save the girl. Girls actually, one was a very young character from the first movie that is now a fully grown Chinese chick and the other a bald yet sexy French woman who Carter went second base with watch out for that scene. Well this movie feels fresh even though it was the third serving. The jokes were sometimes old but funny. The characters were definetely in sync and chemistry was undeniable. Action sequences were heart stopping like the scenes from the Eifel Tower. The only bad thing I could say about it was I kinda wished Chris Tucker was skinny again because he looks funnier that way but kudos to him because his falsetto's awesome. Lastly the chick Soo Yung to me looks like a young Zhang Ziyi. Certainly I would recommend this movie for everybody who's in the mood for a good time. The end credits also watch it before you get your ass up..
