10 reason why this film was a flop


1 It was filmed in Paris. Paris is boring and depressing.

2 Recasting councel Han. The new actor didn't look or sound anything like him. We're not stupid.

3 Including Soo Yung in the film. We didn't need her character. They obviously included her for sex appeal.

4 Including a Japanese man in the film. Chinese and Japanese just does not mix.

5 The plot hole of making Lee grow up in an orphanage when in the earlier films he talked about his cop daddy.

6 The "you're not my brother" was just cheesy.

7 The complicated plot. I never did get it.

8 The lack of hot baddies. Sang. Hu li.

9 The lack of China and Los Angeles.

10 The stupid French taxi driver who worshipped American violence and wanted to kill someone. The gun violence in America is tragic, not cool or funny.

The actor who played han WAS the same guy

Also the stupid tired jokes. The whole "you" name confusion was painful.

I don't think Lee growing up in an orphanage is a plot hole. I watched a bloopers video on YouTube where there is a scene that was cut from the film. Right before they enter their hotel room Carter asks him about the orphanage and says "I thought u said your father was a cop?" (which Lee told him in the first film) Right before Lee answers the question they both start laughing coming out of character. So yeah Rush Hour 3 was definitely going to acknowledge that fact about Lee's orphanage incase some people saw it as a plot hole.

Here's the bloopers video to see for yourself. Watch from 2:03-2:08
