10 Worst Threequels Of All Time

5. Rush Hour 3

New Line

The first two Rush Hour movies were hardly a beacon of ingenuity with their tiresome jokes that mostly revolved around the cultural differences between an American and a man from Hong Kong. The film didn't deserve a sequel, let alone a threequel, but when there's even a penny of profit to be made, Hollywood has no problem in churning out unfunny, boring trash.

This third instalment reuses pretty much every joke from the first movie only Chris Tucker delivers the lines with an increasing amount of hysteria. Tucker is his typically annoying and grating self and its hard not to feel sorry for Jackie Chan, who ever since his transgression to America has been mostly confined to dreary farces such as this.

Despite Rush Hour 3 being billed as a a martial-arts-action-comedy, the level of martial-arts on display is tepid and never uses Chan's obvious strengths, the action scenes are completely devoid of any intensity and there's not a single laugh to be had in the film. Sitting in rush hour is more interesting than watching this movie.
