As expected, this film has a plot as believable as a politician's promise, action sequences as contrived as a Disney animatronic show, stereotypes as cliche as cheese toasties and people as gorgeous as statues of Roman gods and goddesses. If it had only those features, it would have rated a 4. But it was the humour that makes it a 5 (I don't mind if I see it, I also don't mind if it miss it). The "Who's on first" and "translation by nun" were pretty funny, just a shame that it wasn't maintained to the end.
Lee and Carter go to Paris and track down a list of the Triad bosses. Inevitably there are stunning woman along the way who either fall in love them, or want to kill them. Inevitably the bad guys wear white (but oddly don't live in a hollowed out volcano like they should). And inevitably, this taking place in Paris, the last climatic fight takes place on the Eiffel Tower - on it, through it, under it, all over it.
Chris Tucker as Carter has the funny lines, and Jackie Chan as Lee has all the martial arts and stunts. If you feel like vegging out, turning off and kicking back, maybe, just maybe, this will do.
