YMMV / Rush Hour 3

Go To

  • Fan Nickname: Some people call the giant martial arts student Him in order to further make it fit into the Who's on First? scene.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Kenji is Lee's adoptive brother and the leader of the Triads, having convinced Geneviève to become Shy Shen despite knowing that this would lead to her death. When Geneviève allies with Ambassador Han to reveal the names of the Triad heads, Kenji teams up with the corrupt Varden Reynard and personally snipes Han before he can reveal Shy Shen to the World Criminal Court, while having his men steal a letter Han sent to his Soo-Yung. Offering Lee and Carter a legit chance to walk away, Kenji engenders a situation to almost kill Lee and Carter by convincing them to save Geneviève, with the three barely surviving. Kidnapping Soo-Yung to force Lee to bring Geneviève to him, before forcing Lee to sword fight him all over the Eiffel Tower under threat of dropping Soo-Yung to her death. One of the few in the series to match Lee's skills and getting under his skin like no one else, Kenji ultimately proves to still love his brother, even sacrificing his life to save Lee from falling to his death.
  • Signature Scene: Though it is considered the worst movie in the trilogy, Rush Hour three is known for having what many consider to be the funniest scene in the trilogy in the form of Mi and Yu.
