* TWordEuphemism: It turns out interrogating a suspect in front of a nun - serving as a French-to-English translator - is harder than it looks.
---> '''Lee''': [''stopping Carter from cussing at the suspect, who just called Carter the N-word in French''] Carter! She's a nun.\\
'''Carter''': Sister, you tell this piece of S-word that I will ''personally F-word'' him up.

* YourMom: During the interrogation scene, the suspect lets out one of these on Carter... in French. Which the nun, Sister Agnes, uncomfortably translated:

'''Carter''': You tell him, ''his mom'' is a ''h''! [[note]]whore[[/note]]

* SwordFight: The film climaxes with a pretty epic one between Lee and Kenji, on the balconies of the Eiffel Tower a few hundred feet above solid ground. Ironically, Lee (the Chinese Jackie Chan) uses a ''katana'' for the duel, while Kenji (Japanese Hiroyuki Sanada) uses a ''jian'' instead.

* TookALevelInBadass:
** Soo Yung displays martial arts skills that allow her to defend herself to some degree. She isn't quite on Lee's level and still gets kidnapped in the climax but is a step up from the helpless little girl from the first movie.
** Carter claims to have earned two black belts in Wushu. The climax shows that this is not empty bragging when he takes on Kenji's men without any help from Lee.

* LivingMacGuffin: Much of the plot is based on a search for "Shy Shen", a semi-mythical individual of great importance to [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs the Triads]], said to be hiding somewhere in Paris. [[spoiler:{{Subverted|Trope}} when they later find information that the Shy Shen not a person, but a list of Triad leaders passed down by an informant... only to be [[DoubleSubversion subverted again]] when it turns out it's ''both'': [[HumanNotepad the list is tattooed on the back of said informant's head]] as part of an ancient Triad ritual.]]

''Rush Hour 3'' is a buddy-cop/comedy film and the third installment of the ''Film/RushHour'' series.

Inspector Lee (Creator/JackieChan) and Detective Carter (Creator/ChrisTucker) are back in action in Paris. After Ambassador Han is almost assassinated, they need to protect Genevieve (Noémie Lenoir), a French woman who has a list of the Triads' leaders. Lee also has personal struggles with a Chinese-Japanese criminal mastermind named Kenji (Creator/HiroyukiSanada), who is also Lee's long-lost blood brother.

Their race will take them across the city, from the depths of the Paris underground to the breathtaking heights of the Eiffel Tower, as they fight to outrun the world's most deadly criminals and save the day. Of the three, this is the [[{{Sequelitis}} least well-received]].

* BigBad: Kenji, who is Lee's brother.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:George saves Lee, Carter, and Genevieve from Reynard by [[InTheBack shooting him in the back]]]].
* CurbStompBattle: Lee and Carter battle a very tall Chinese man, but they easily get beaten by him.

* DragonLady: Jasmine who is literally credited as "Dragon Lady".
* FrenchJerk: Commissaire Revi is very unpleasant towards Lee and Carter, such as giving them a [[AssShove cavity search]], and trying to take credit for their heroism in the end.
* MsFanservice: Genevieve wears a very beautiful dress, and also her attempted sex scene with Carter.
* PronounTrouble / WhosOnFirst: In ''Rush Hour 3'', this was done in a dojo when Carter was speaking with Master Yu and Sifu Mi.
