Trivia:

In the tower fight scene, Kenji wields a Jian, a traditionally Chinese sword, and Lee wields a Katana, a traditionally Japanese sword. Ironically, Hiroyuki Sanada is Japanese, while Jackie Chan is Chinese.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Carter and Lee are in the elevator in Paris, a dog lifts his leg on Carter and Lee says "Good girl". Since it's lifting its leg he should have said "Good Boy" since it's obviously a male dog.

Quotes:

[from trailer]
Detective James Carter: How do you say surrender in Chinese?

Don't Know Why people bash this

I thought this movie was actually good. It was everything i excepted it to be,funny and has action. I don't know why people are hating, but the jokes i guess could be said they've been done before. Either way the whole audience was laughing in the theater i went too. It deserves be watched.

Jackie Chan's thoughts were cool too,not compared to other the movies he has done, but for a movie like this they are considerably good. i thought the story was pretty basic though, but i didn't go in excepting an epic movie like Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc.I went to laugh and i did,and Chris tucker just kinda does the same thing like the previous movie. But isn't that why we love Rush Hour?
