Trivia:
In the scene when Lee and Carter first get in George's taxi, during the conversation, George says to Carter, "You guys can't even beat the Europeans in basketball anymore." He was referring to when Greece beat USA in the 2006 FIBA World Cup.
more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Carter and Lee are in the elevator in Paris, a dog lifts his leg on Carter and Lee says "Good girl". Since it's lifting its leg he should have said "Good Boy" since it's obviously a male dog.

Quotes:
Detective James Carter:
We have an assassin in custody that only speaks French... A limo blows up at the French consulate... And the next meeting of the world court is in Paris, 2 days from now.
Chief Inspector Lee: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Detective James Carter: Yeah, we go to Fiji. Hide out for a year. Maybe change our names. Get jobs as bartenders. And imma call you Kiko.

Rush Hour 3
2007 has been the year of the threquel, and at long last--after the ambitious excess of Spiderman 3, the lackluster of Shrek the Third, the love-it-or-hate-it logic to the Pirates finale, the return to glossy form of Ocean's 13, and the tense, engaging Bourne Ultimatum (which gave a great ultimatum to its own franchise)--we come to its end with the fun, campy adrenaline-rush (what a pun!) of Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker re-teaming for "Rush Hour 3". But I guess if you want to get specific a third resident evil is on the way (ah!).
Part of the fun of the third "Rush Hour" film (and maybe what holds it back a little, but this isn't a big deal) is that it doesn't try and grow out of its comfortable niche; it sticks to what it knows we enjoy, and delivers. Chris Tucker is still an undiminished comedian of zany, unstoppable vocal fervor; as much as Jackie Chan is still a stoic engine of physical fury and the dead-pan humor to Tucker's rapid-fire, witty remarks. And as tried and dead as the buddy cop genre is, these two actors play off each other so well, with such great chemistry, that cliché seems alive and kicking.
All the other staples we want are present: great comedy routines (the "whose on first"-esquire bickering in the karate school is side-splitting), plenty of bickering between the main players Lee and Carter, and over-the-top action (really this is where the third installment flat-out destroys the first two; the final crescendo of martial arts, sword-play and shootouts atop the EiFel Tower is a masterfully choreographed and executed sequence). Brett Ratner may be a hack of a filmmaker (I will never forgive him for the third X-Men), but he knows how to have a good, relaxing and enjoyable time at the cinema when it comes to this: cornball fun mixing up belly laughs, cliché action elements,superbly staged chases and fights, and even tossing in a cameo from Roman Polanski.
I can't say there's much wrong with "Rush Hour 3"; I would be a liar to say I didn't get what I expected and enjoyed it. Sure, there's nothing very new here, but I don't want my clincher to the big summer blockbuster lineup to be any other way. Just casual, forget your hard day entertainment. 7/10
