After a botched assassination attempt, the mismatched duo finds themselves in Paris, struggling to retrieve a precious list of names, as the murderous crime syndicate's henchmen try their best to stop them. Once more, Lee and Carter must fight their way through dangerous gangsters; however, this time, the past has come back to haunt Lee. Will the boys get the job done once and for all?

If you loved Rush Hour 3, the closest films we have are 22 Jump Street (2014), Tower Heist (2011) and Knockin' on Heaven's Door (1997). All three share Rush Hour 3's kinetic and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Legend of Drunken Master (1994).

The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

After making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store for officers Schmidt and Jenko when they go deep undercover at a local college. But when Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team, and Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene, they begin to question their partnership. Now they don't have to just crack the case - they have to figure out if they can have a mature relationship. If these two overgrown adolescents can grow from freshmen into real men, college might be the best thing that ever happened to them.
