Rush Hour 3, released in 2007, is the third installment in the popular action-comedy franchise starring Jackie Chan as Inspector Yan Naing Lee and Chris Tucker as Detective James Carter. The film follows the duo as they travel to Paris to unravel a criminal syndicate's schemes. Upon release, Rush Hour 3 received mixed to negative reviews from critics, with many citing that the comedic chemistry and action sequences didn't quite match the charm and originality of the first two films. While it performed reasonably well at the box office, the movie was generally seen as a less inspired sequel. Over time, Rush Hour 3 has not managed to secure a significant cult following or reappraisal; rather, it is often regarded as a dated relic of 2000s action-comedy cinema. Fans of the series may find nostalgic value, but it is neither considered an underrated gem nor a cult classic.
